AceShowbiz - No Doubt launched their highly anticipated residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas on Wednesday night, delivering a setlist full of nostalgic favorites and rare tracks that delighted longtime fans.

The iconic band lineup—Gwen Stefani, bassist Tony Kanal, guitarist Tom Dumont, and drummer Adrian Young—opened the show with the title track from their 1995 breakthrough album Tragic Kingdom. This performance marked their first time playing the song live since 2009, instantly setting a special tone for the evening.

Usually reserved for the finale, the upbeat opener "Spiderwebs" appeared early in the set, coming in as the fifth song. This unexpected placement underscored the nostalgic and unique nature of the residency's kickoff.

The rest of the concert included beloved hits like "Underneath It All" and the band's signature ballad "Don't Speak." Fans were also treated to deep cuts such as "The Climb," performed live for the first time since 1997, and "Trapped in a Box," last played in 2002. The evening concluded on a high note with the energetic anthems "Just a Girl" and "Sunday Morning."

Meanwhile, at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Blake Shelton addressed the crowd about missing his wife's residency opening to perform his own show. He joked about the couple’s scheduling conflicts, saying, "She's over there, at the other venue," and blamed his manager for booking them simultaneously each night.

Before the residency began, members of No Doubt spoke in interviews about their intention to create a nostalgic experience. Stefani told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show that the show is designed for the fans to feel a sense of shared history. She said, "I want people to come and make it feel really nostalgic, like they're back in time. Like, ‘Remember this? Remember this, guys? This is what we did together.’"

Drummer Young also revealed in a recent Rolling Stone interview that the residency would revisit both the music and visual style of Tragic Kingdom. He noted, "There's definitely more of that in the set than we've done in recent years. I won't give too much away, but there's a nostalgic feel."

With such a carefully curated setlist and an emphasis on fan connection, the opening night at the Sphere signaled a memorable start to No Doubt's Las Vegas residency, promising more nostalgia and rare performances to come.
