On Friday, Dec. 5, the Zac Brown Band ensured those in attendance at their Las Vegas concert didn't leave disappointed. The visual aspects of the show were captivating from start to finish. However, it was the virtual cameo from WWE and UFC legend Brock Lesnar that really took things to another level.
Lesnar took on the role of a supervillain as he battled a virtual version of Zac Brown. Both men stood more than 10 feet tall on the big screens of The Sphere. The battle, had it been real, would have been legendary. There would certainly have been drunken odes written about it.

The additional dates are Dec. 12 and 13 and Jan. 9, 10,16, and 17.
Zac Brown Admitted That He Plans on Going Into Debt To Make His Las Vegas Residency One To Remember
During a recent interview with "US Weekly," Brown admitted that he was going into debt to make his Las Vegas residency dream become a reality.
"Just going into debt to make it happen," Brown said. "It's a big moment in time and it's like, for us, I want to be among the names of the Grateful Dead and the Rolling Stones and the bands that take that lifelong career impact fan journey to be able to do that. This is our statement to try to step into that."
Brown then continued by explaining how he refused to let himself become distracted while building out his perfect show.
"Whatever adversity, I'm just like, 'OK, bring it,'" Brown said. "There's lots of forces that are always trying to distract you from what you're doing, and you just got to just keep plowing, keep going."
Judging by the footage shared from opening night, Brown has certainly brought his dream to life. He's used the facilities The Sphere has to offer to great effect. However, depending on who wins between him and Lesnar, it may be wise not to invite the former WWE and UFC champion to catch the show live. You know, in case Lesnar wants to test out that battle in real life.
