U2 Streaming Their Concert Live

Bonavox

I feel like the only one up at this time and I probably should have posted this a couple of days ago but for those who don't know: U2 are streaming there gig in The Rose Bowl at 8:30PM (PT), which translates to 3:30AM in Ireland, tonight.

It's streamed directly from their Youtube Page which has an off-air video stream above the bog standard usual layout. Just a heads up for those who want to see it.

I think it'll be uploaded to Youtube as a whole concert, but don't quote me on that.

Its gonna be cool to see what we missed out on in Dublin with it being dark when the band actually play!

Dj Stiggie

Thanks for posting this

I just got home from work and forgot it was on so I'm chuffed

As far as I know its only being shown again at selected times, I know that sounds weird so don't quote me on that

I would say its kinda gonna be like the Dublin shows where they played about 6 from the new album and the rest the classics. The lights look amazing. We totally lost out in Dublin

I remember Bowies glass spider in Slane in the late 80s and the show had to end before it got dark due to risk of insurance claims when it got dark.
Pity alright.

I think they only played it at 1 of the Dublin shows. Think they played Desire and Stuck in a moment the other nights.

The rose bowl holds 92,000 all seated so its bound to be well over 100,000 at the show. Lucky Bastards

Wow!

Doesn't seem to be great 'Elevation' from Bono's mike! Either that or his voice is gone down an octave.

tech77

Fcuking bull$hit.
Anyone know what the problem might be.
Is it meant to stream automatically?

I wonder what the biggest crowd they have played too

ynotdu

It's blowing Me away so far! Jeez If ya have to stay awake all night THIS is the way to do it!!!!!!!!!!:)

Bono is GREAT.when he just opens his mouth to sing not talk! Lol

deisedude

That was a nice touch mentioning Stephen Gately

vinylbomb

Jesus. What a stage setup.

Thankfully I am going to their show in Vancouver on Wednesday, the last of the tour.

Yeah it could be a speed thing- but it's not even loading.
Tried the links and the anonymous thing- nothing.
Thanks for your help- i'm going to bed

Great Show..I was having lots of problems streaming through Google Chrome,but everythings working great for me through explorer,seriously doubt thats your problem though :pac:

vinylbomb

I'm in Vancouver and getting a lot of jitter on the audio now, its been getting steadily worse as the gig has gone on.

I'm say Youtube/Google's servers are taking an absolute pounding at the moment, I'm amazed its worked this acceptably to be honest.

tech77

Cheers working with IE now.
Firefox wouldn't work- POS.
Missed most of it i suppose :mad:- enjoying One though.

ballsymchugh

ultraviolet is the highlight to come yet. you've not missed a whole ton!!

musicmonky

now ultraviolet was quite good

vinylbomb

Thats very cool with the phones.

Loved Desmond Tutu doing the intro to One, that was pure class.

ynotdu

Amazing Stuff!!!!! I agree about the Tutu intro.
Got to really admire these guys been around so long and not let their Lives be ruined by the usual suspects that destroy Rock/pop superstars.
Hey and they are IRISH too,Yahoo still something left to be proud of!
Its true Bono's singing voice on some songs was not 100% at times but overall the Audiance get more than their money's worth!

Seems like the concert will be replayed for Everyone in every time zone for the next 24 hours at least if not permanently on youtube free.
Got to hand it to them,cant think of such a hugh band that ever broadcast their entire Live show on the net before:)

Replay 1 has just started:)

NeMiSiS

Mate of mine was at this said it was amazing..

Caught some of it on the news here.

Supposidly Black Eye'd Pea's supported, and covered Sweet Child.. and Slash came out and guested with them..

I'd say it was ****in crazy
