No Doubt roared into Las Vegas last Wednesday night to kick off their Live at Sphere residency, building the entire opening show around their breakthrough album Tragic Kingdom and dusting off songs that had not seen a stage in decades. Gwen Stefani and the band tore through a 21-song set that stitched together radio staples, deep cuts and massive visuals that wrapped the Sphere’s dome. By the finale, fans were dancing under a storm of foam oranges in a surreal Orange County homecoming.
Old Favorites And Rare Returns
The band opened with the Tragic Kingdom title track and went on to play nearly the entire album, resurrecting rarities like “The Climb” and “Trapped In a Box” that had not been performed live in years, according to Stereogum. Local coverage from KSNV noted that the band threaded in big hits like “Don’t Speak,” “Just a Girl” and “Hella Good.” Fans and reviewers have since posted footage of the set and visuals, and online setlist trackers back up the 21-song run.
