Live From The Rose Bowl (To Everywhere)

25 October 2009

'What time is it in the world and where are we going?' Bono asked after 'Get On Your Boots'. Tonight it was every time on the clock, depended which country you were in as the U2 360°: show went out live on YouTube to millions of viewers on seven continents.

A record-breaking 97,000 fans watched the show live at the Rose Bowl and we've been getting messages from fans all over the world who were enjoying it live online : you were watching in China and New Zealand, in Iran and in North Korea, in Russia and Latin America, in Canada and right across Europe.

From Iceland ('Definitely the greatest economy class I have ever had...') to Peru ('amazing, incredible and exciting...') the whole world seems to have been at the show.

'It's like we are all there at the concert,' said Baadsilver on our Zoootpia live thread 'We ALL have our hands in the air and are singing... crazy tonight for U2.'

Or as one smart Tweet put it, 'This has to be the best U2 concert I have never been to.'

From Breathe to Moment of Surrender, felt like a moment of rock'n'roll history tonight. If you were watching somewhere in the world tonight, why don't you tell us what it was like in the comments box at the bottom of this page - and don't forget to include which COUNTRY YOU WERE WATCHING IT IN.

If you were actually at the RoseBowl post your own review and add your photos on our tour page, or catch the rebroadcast here.

Vegas and you tube
saw them in Vegas and now on you tube...so glad I made the trip to Vegas..you really cannot get a feel for how grand that stage is unless you see it in person, it is amazing as well since it accompanies the greatest band in the world! Cant wait for Seattle next year!

Thanks
It was nice of U2 to let us all see this show for "free" tonight and get up closer than most of us ever did at any of the shows we went to. I had nice seats at Giants Stadium 1 & 2 but didn't get to stand on the stage and be up close like this! So it was really cool. Very happy here to see another concert here in NYC and just got the email to find out that YES INDEED THEY ARE COMING BACK TO NYC IN 2010!! HURRAY! So tonight was my 3rd concert this year, two live and one virtual tonight and it was terrific! Thanks again U2!

Paulina from Monterrey, Mexico!!!
It was amazing! I felt that I was there! U2 takes us to places we´ve never been before, takes us travel in a spider, in a lemon, to sarajevo in a tv, to a place filled with flash bulbs and lights.... i can´t imagine U2 in 5 or 10 years and take my sons to a concert of U2 ....Tonight Bono inspired us, The Edge let us the sound in our body and soul, Adam ohh I just love him he always keeps it cool and Larry he irradiates beauty, gorgeous, the sexy one!

Back my memories to Aug 09th & 10th 2009. in Zagreb. Excellent again, but for me a bit different. At august in Zagreb I was alone, this time I had a company (in front of PC, :))- my newborn son (born Aug 18th), that was his first musical experience...and FANtastic response! U2, a great way how to start life... See U2 all in Vienna Aug 30th 2010. Pozdrav iz Zagreba! Hrvoje

Great to relive the moment!
Just getting over the Las Vegas concert excitement (and that was a slight nightmare after the concert...), and thanks to you I was able to relive the best part of the evening. THE SHOW! It reminded me why we lined up in the heat, and why we decided to hike a 1/2 mile to find transportation back to our hotel...because it's worth every damn moment you get to experience in that pit! Thanks, this broadcast made everything alright. USA

praying4U2 - 26 October, 2009
Just got home from the Rose Bowl
What can I say, seeing U2 is always amazing but tonight was extra special. I actually closed my eyes (while recording with my phone!) and soaked it all in for my favorite song, STREETS.... It was glorious! I felt so blessed to be there. I had VIP seats. I was first row Ellipse for Vertigo so was scared for how the seating would go. But to be honest, I was happy. I would suggest everybody sees a show from outside the Ellipse - you really get the whole picture - and the whole picture is breath taking. Thank you, U2 and God bless you!
magda_lena78 - 26 October, 2009
THANKS!!!
It was wonderful to be there again! First in Chorzów, now on U2tube. Poland :)
