Several A-Listers were in the crowd, including Jon Hamm, Elizabeth Banks, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Orlando Bloom and Paul McCartney.Throughout the opening night, the band made nods to their location by calling out iconic figures who made lasting impressions on the city. During their performance, they showcased images of Elvis Presley on the walls of the venue. “Elvis has definitely not left this building," Bono, 63, joked.

The group included visuals of different statements related to their setlist, which included hits like “Believe,” “This Is Not a Rehearsal,” “It Could Never Happen Here” and "Even Better Than the Real Thing." U2 also performed "One," "With or Without You,” "Where the Streets Have No Name” and their new single, "Atomic City.” While performing "With or Without You" during that first night, Bono sang lyrics from "Nothing Compares 2 U," the Prince song that the late Sinead O'Connor scored a hit with in 1990. O'Connor, who was also from Ireland, died in July at the age of 56. Sphere was first illuminated on the Fourth of July weekend, with an American flag and fireworks on display. Since then, the exterior dome has transformed into a lifelike eyeball, basketball, moon, earth, and pumpkin, among other objects.
