If you couldn't get to #LasVegas for @U2 at @SphereVegas, the "V-U2" immersive concert film is a worthy substitute, mostly because it feels as if the band is in front of you. Here's some insight from the Edge about how the whole stunning thing works.

Had a really wonderful chat with #AlexVanHalen. His new book, "Brothers," is a true love letter to his brother Ed (learned that he was always called "Ed" or "Edward" - never "Eddie"). Amazing drummer, really cool guy.

Even if you think you know the history of @davemasonband , you'll probably still learn something from his new memoir, "Only You Know & I Know." We recently talked about some of the revelations in the book.

In a couple of weeks, @springsteen will be 75. As evidenced during his D.C. show last weekend, neither he nor the mighty E Street Band are getting off the stage any time soon. And lucky us. #springsteen

Some interesting stuff coming from the @bep. The group's @iamwill told us about the new AI member they will debut at their 2025 #LasVegas residency, which kicks off in February and was inspired by #TaylorSwiftTheErasTour.

It isn't just @DefLeppard and @JourneyOfficial reminding us this summer that rock isn't dead (. The U.S. tour kickoff of the Saviors Tour with @GreenDay, @SmashingPumpkin, @Rancid and @thelindalindas offered another wallop.

Looks like the show is about to restart @NationalsPark. Sadly for @Rancid fans, they only played two songs before the rain delay. @SmashingPumpkin up shortly. #GreenDay will close as planned.

We are in a rain delay @NationalsPark for the @GreenDay tour kickoff. Hopefully ends soon and @Rancid can finish its set and things get rolling again. #GreenDay #nationalspark.

The end of @Cirque 's @thebeatles "Love" on Sunday was definitely bittersweet. Such an innovative show. Here's a look at the last night of what many (raising hand) considered the best Cirque show in Vegas. #LasVegas.
