No Doubt throws it back routinely in its Sphere residency production. The band emptied its scrapbook and VHS tapes to create a timeless tableau of its nearly 40-year history.

Many of the photos and videos show Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young so young, they seem like a School of Rock tribute band.

Young, the band’s powerhouse drummer, recalled a moment from 35 years ago that escaped visual chronology. The musician lit the lamp, befouled a gaming table and burned through his per diem at a classic Strip casino.

“The first time I came with the band was probably 1991, and we were doing our first West Coast tour,” Young says during an online interview leading to No Doubt’s Wednesday premiere at Sphere. “We played at the Shark Club, and we stayed at the Aladdin.”

No Doubt has made Vegas history as the only band to ever play Shark Club (which closed in its location on Harmon Avenue and the Strip in the late ’90s), Huntridge Theater (in May 1995, nine years before the theater shut down) and Sphere.
