Eagles Rocker, 68, Struggles With Vegas Sphere's 'Distracting' Visuals
For some concertgoers, attending a show at the Las Vegas Sphere is a dream come true. For others, one word comes to mind: overstimulation. Turns out, some performers feel the same way!
Vocalist-guitarist Vince Gill, who's joined the Eagles for their Vegas Sphere residency, opened up about what it's like to perform at the esteemed venue.
'I try to ignore it,' Gill, 68, admitted during an episode of Chris Shiflett's 'Shred With Shifty' podcast, per Ultimate Classic Rock. 'I try not to watch any of the content, because it's pretty distracting. And it makes me get a little bit wobbly. Things are moving and tilting, and it's pretty neat.'

The singer, who joined the Eagles in 2017, continued, 'I jokingly tell people it's the most people I've ever been ignored by at a gig. But you know, they're there to see the bells and whistles, and that's the point of it all.'
Gill said that while the visuals are no doubt 'unbelievable,' they've certainly thrown him off his game at times. 'I'll find myself, if I start watching it, forgetting to come back in and sing, and this and that, and get distracted,' he revealed.
