We look forward to your review QL!

Hopefully, someone will review it before I get to see it. Sadly, it might be a while. It is a separate ticket and requires pre-registration and requires admission to both event and planetarium.

Before I retired, I had a downtown office and would park my carcass there a day or two a week. It was a few block walk or cab ride from there. Now, I'm seldom downtown anymore. I DO PLAN to attend before it closes, though.

I will definitely be getting tickets to one of these shows this summer!! Less than an hour away from where I live.

If they come to Boise, I’ll be shocked. Hell, if they come to Salt Lake (four hour drive), I’ll be shocked.

That’s the price I pay for living in a well-kept secret.

In Chicago for a few days to see King Gizzard 3 times in a row (the first two have been killer!) and on the way to the second show yesterday I remembered that this exists… and looked up times. DSOTM showtime is 3:15, lasts 45 minutes… Gizz show doors are at 5.

Nabbed a ticket and will be seeing both later today!

A couple of hours away, but there seems to be other stuff in the building, so I’ll see if my wife might be interested.

Reporting back on this:
It is indeed the Atmos mix, played loud. The video presentation is very slick. Vague space related imagery that would look cool to music.

If it’s not too out of the way, very worth checking out

Looks like we’re going to make a day of it, with the museums at CSI.

I'd like to see this at the new Sphere in Vegas when it opens.

If I could go back in time to 1985 in the Hayden Planetarium, I could see it again.

Well, let's say that it's worth the trip (and it's quite a trip itself!)! Just got back from the College of Southern Idaho, and I loved almost every minute of the show. There was a brief time during "Money" when I couldn't figure out the visuals, but it wasn't too long before I figured out it was the interior of the International Space Station, without people, but with a lot of laptop screens showing coins on their screens.

Most of the visuals were space related, some of them definitely fantasy (the ISS orbiting Mars?) and one was kind of disconcerting with an ominous dust storm on Mars closing in on an astronaut, but even my wife enjoyed the show.

My home theater isn't a planetarium dome, but if that show ever comes out on blu-ray, it will be in my collection in 5 seconds flat.
