U2 provided fans a fully immersive experience featuring top of the line technology offered at Sphere, which is reinventing the live music experience with the world’s highest-resolution LED screen on the interior of the Sphere, spanning four acres and surrounding the stage and audience, creating a completely immersive visual environment.
The four-football field long interior screen hovers 240 feet above the stage, with a steel framework supporting the 160,000-square-foot screen and the 160,000-speaker Holoplot multilayered audio system weighs about 730 tons.

Outside of Sphere, the Exosphere is the largest LED screen on Earth consists of approximately 1.2 million LED pucks across 580,000 square feet of surface, with each puck containing 48 individual LED diodes, and each diode capable of displaying 256 million different colors, all combining to create an unmistakably vivid landmark on the Las Vegas skyline.
The Exosphere displays a wide range of custom artistic and branded content, attracting worldwide interest as a result of the venue being photographed and shared widely on social media daily.
The state-of-the-art Sphere Immersive Sound, developed by Holoplot and considered to be the world’s most advanced audio system, provides the world’s largest, fully integrated concert-grade audio system and will revolutionize immersive audio experiences. A system of 1,600 permanently installed and 300 mobile Holoplot X1 Matrix Array loudspeaker modules includes a total of 167,000 individually amplified loudspeaker drivers. Using Holoplot’s next-generation 3D Audio-Beamforming and Wave Field Synthesis technology, the audio is transformed for delivery in large-scale venues such as Sphere.
The result is a controlled, consistent and crystal-clear concert-grade audio for audiences of up to 20,000 people, providing individual audience members with a personalized listening experience, whether sitting in the front or back rows. At Sphere, you may not see the sound system as the entire apparatus is completely hidden behind the 160,000-square-foot interior LED display plane.
So with this ground-breaking audio-visual venue at their disposal, U2 celebrated an historic live music milestone with fans from all over the world and VIP attendees including Dr. Dre, Jimmy Kimmel, John Starks, Paul McCartney, Sheryl Sandberg, Snoop Dogg and many more.
The show was the first in a 25-date run of shows that celebrates the band’s acclaimed album Achtung Baby, as well as its accompanying and industry-defining ZOO TV Tour in 1991. U2 also performed a new song, “Atomic City,” an homage to the magnetic spirit of 70’s post-punk with a nod to Blondie, whose pioneering work with Giorgio Moroder inspired and influenced the band.
The name “Atomic City” is also a 1950s nickname for Las Vegas from a time when nuclear fascination swept the nation and the city promoted itself as a center of atomic tourism due to its proximity to the Nevada Test Site.

“Standing Room Only” By Tim Mcgraw
For more information about the Standing Room Only Tour and ticket sales, visit www.timmcgraw.com.
Finger Lakes musician Jeremy Button of Americana band Growl Bear, has penned a few tunes as of late that celebrate two distinct regions of New York State, the Delaware Valley and the Finger Lakes.
Among them are the comedic tune, with a dash of regional pride, “Fingerlakes Wine,” and the history-infused “The Ballad of Orrin & Squire.”
Growing up in Wayland, NY, Button attended SUNY Fredonia, and currently works for NYSDOT. A guitarist and songwriter in Americana band Growl Bear, Button has learned a variety of instruments, among them fiddle, mandolin, bagpipes, and banjo as well as writing music for both Growl Bear and his solo performances.
Speaking of “Fingerlakes Wine,” Button says, “I just wanted my area to have a song like this. I love Rochester and the Fingerlakes area and I like writing songs about where I live, we don’t have a lot of them and we need more, creating lore, making us feel more in touch with this place we call home.”
Button’s tune “Fingerlakes Wine” comes in both a classy (above, for all ages) and original versions, while “The Ballad of Orrin & Squire” is ripped from the history books and lyrics mention various stops in the Southern Catskills.
Button’s Great-great Grandfather and his brother fought in the Civil War for the Union Army, part of the NY 56th Regiment of Volunteers, also known as the 10th Legion. A tune that comes right out of Button’s family tree, the song tells of their travels from small towns near the New York-Pennslyvania border to New York City before heading south to fight. Button says of the song’s historical accuracy, “95% true. Not many songs about NY regiments going to go kick butt.”
Another tune from Button, “Goodbye Fredonia,” the reluctance that he found in moving onto the next stage of his life, post-college.
You can catch Jeremy Button performing solo and with Growl Bear this fall around the Finger Lakes. Growl Bear plays at Lovin Cup, near Rochester Institute of Technology at 8:30 on Friday, October 6 and the trio version of Growl Bear plays at the B-side in Fairport on October 25. For more info visit the band’s website.
Rome Streetz reigns globally supreme. If you’re looking for the hottest new Griselda artist – all signs point to Rome. He exists as the chosen one. Certainly, every individual to grace the Earth became chosen to breathe air at one point or another. As far as who dons the crispiest crown in all of NY – Rome takes the throne. Whether it be the hills of the Catskills or the city slickin’ corners of Nueva York – Rome’s got somethin for ya nose – Noise Kandy 5.
Fresh off starring as protagonist in the latest Griselda Vision Film, “ADOLF” Rome brought some absolute heat in the most recent edition of his mixtape series – Noise Kandy 5. Furthermore, these sounds resonate through our stereos as much more than noise. Noise Kandy 5 came with plenty of bops as Griselda Records continues to dominate the Fall and terrorize lackluster emcees.
Unimpressed with the State of the Art
Time and time again – the ones who iterate and pivot always see success. Even if the switch up doesn’t lead to success – you must take the risk to reap the reward. Above all else – do something different than everybody else. Everyone knows the definition of insanity… The truly insane nature of Rome Streetz’ flow cannot be undermined. On NK5, Rome sped up the flow majorly and squeezed in many more words per stanza than usual.
Throughout his discography – this man tends to touch upon themes such as good vs. evil or original vs. copycat. He continues to unravel the layers of his subject matter so masterfully. This project serves as a cornerstone for Rome as he continues to exponentially increase his fanbase. Let us touch upon some of the strongest thematic lines from Noise Kandy 5.
“Eyes on the Prize – but watch your step with the same pace.” – “Go Raw”
On this track, Rome shares incredible wisdom in a line that could be unpacked in so many ways. This could translate to the fact that you need to take daily steps to reach your long term goal. Also, make sure you align your daily operations with what you are trying to reach. Everybody wants to make the big time – small steps and caution will be what gets you there.
“Weird how the Church broke but the preacher a millionaire.” – “Procall”
Compare this line to “If money’s the devil, why the pastor askin for this shit?” -Higher Self ft. Estee Nack (Noise Kandy 4)
Rome Streetz lyrics will tap deep into your mental and create cerebral connections you never thought possible. All in all – his content will truly make you contemplate facets of reality that you may have never thought about before. Maybe you thought about it before – but not in the way that Rome breaks it down. Therein lies a thin line between good and evil..
“Built for the grind I got stamina.” – “Chrome Magnum”
Rome Streetz submitted greater than 10,000 hours and by the good grace of God he remains in an increasingly poignant position to showcase the breadth of his abilities.
“I would be lit without rap – I don’t need it but it helps.” – “Fire At Ya Idle Mind (ft. Joey Bada$$)”
The lack-of-desperation theme appears for many artists under the Griselda umbrella. We have seen this from the likes of Prodigy, Ghostface and many other legendary artists, too. Consequently, these artists would be doing just fine without rap. Rome doesn’t need hip-hop, yet he continues to do it – does that make him a rap fiend? Who knows? As long as he keeps providing fans with their fix – everything will be alright.
Sock it to My Pocket
Below we list other themes heard on this tape that Rome tends to tap into.
“F the elevator I took the stairs and didn’t hold onto the bannister.” – “Chrome Magnum”
Rome consistently drives home the point that successful individuals put in the work every day. Overnight success remains a myth – you must formulate a plan and remain strategically steadfast in your endeavors.
“Hip-hop is dead – you hear the music through my stethoscope.” – “Stunna”
Compare this line to: “Started underground in search of a better view.” – “Heart Break Hotel.” Rome as revivalist? Nah. Rome puts claims to his throne by doing the things true to his craft.
Rome Streetz poses with fellow hip-hop legend, Cormega.
Real Rap Still Exists
For all those out there complaining about the lack of quality hip-hop music – we share in your tribulations. We also encourage you to dive deeper and broaden your horizons. Real rap resides in lesser known areas such as Buffalo and Lynn, Massachusetts – you just have to look.
Over and above all else – it’s just another day. This one begins where the last one ends and so on and so forth. Time for one human is finite – time for all humans never ends. Rome Streetz music allows the listener to understand the cyclical nature of existence and the nature of mankind as the tunes reach your eardrums in the flyest ways possible.

Alex Northrup, a Rochester composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, has released his newest single “What Did I Miss” as part of his bigger album, Turning Point, set for release this January.
You may recognize Alex Northrup from other Rochester-based groups in the past such as Northern Spies, Brindamor, Jon Lewis Band, and the Demos. More recently, he has been touring the keyboardist for Kill Rock Stars artist Sean Barna.
Locally, he has made appearances in the bands of Katie Morey and Overhand Sam. Recently, he’s been performing around Rochester both solo and with his latest backing group of the Darlingtones– anchored by Ryan Yarmrel on bass and Sam Hirsh on drums, with a revolving cast of guests.
A follow-up to his album, Popular Songs That Will Live Forever, Alex Northrup’s Turning Point follows in the same home-made vein, with more guest appearances and a more soothing vibe. Popular Songs That Will Live Forever featured 10 songs, including the single “The Only Thought I Need,” released in June of 2020, with a quirky and whimsical tone via an upbeat tambourine from beginning to end.
“What Did I Miss” follows that same psychedelic rock genre, but with a more relaxing feeling from an upbeat guitar and soothing vocals. “What Did I Miss” is a single that reminds me of the COVID shut down, where everyone was encouraged to take breaks from social media when it became “too much.” I love the sound but I, as always, am drawn to the lyrics: “What did I miss? // Don’t tell me – I don’t want to know // What did I miss? // This absence was to help me grow // What did I miss?” It’s like when you take a break from social media, but part of you– the addicted part of you– wants to know what is going on despite knowing it’s for the best that you don’t.
“…I was distracted by things such as life and contributing to other people’s bands and recording projects. Actual songwriting was the furthest from my mind – I thought I had totally lost that part of me, and with the way things were going with the world, I wondered what the point even was. But after a couple years of that, the fog started to lift and the words started to come again. And soon enough, out of the mess of unfinished tracks and jams, a dozen actual songs emerged! Nearly half were written fresh at that point, and one 11 year old song that had never been properly recorded was revived. So now I’m back to writing and playing again (with my live band the Darlingtones) and there are definitely more songs that will be coming out! So Turning Point is hopefully the start of something bigger.”
Alex Northrup
Turning Point’s lead single “What Did I Miss” is available now to preview what’s to come from Northrup’s album set for release come January, which has been nearly three years in the making.
