Live From The Rose Bowl (To Everywhere)

25 Oct 2009245
'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.

Well U2 do it again.
U2 have got to be the most original forward thinking update modern coolest hardest rocking band in the world in the universe.This morning at 04.00 am sat in front of my PC at home in Southampton,England watching U2 perform live in concert in L.A quite outstanding and another first of which only U2 could achieve. It was without doubt the most mind blowing experience.I had to keep pinching myself during Breathe and Get on your boots just to prove i was really in this moment of surrender.Concert was just high octane Bono The Edge Larry and Adam were on fire it was another blistering performance.
Avril
So Excited!!!!
I just caught the tail end of the concert on Youtube - I can't wait to see it again. I'm so excited that they are coming back to North American next year. My husband and I saw them in Toronto in September and we were both amazed. Roll on 2010.

"Six o'clock in the morning, You're the last to hear the warning, You've been trying to throw your arms around the world..." And so they did! Today, U2 embraced the whole world! Awsome show, best start ever for a monday morning! Thank you U2, thank you You Tube!Kind regards from ROMANIA!

Little Sleep in Canada! So Worth It!
What a great show! I saw Vertigo and 360 in Toronto, but this one was virtually up close and personal. "Nothing but punk mass" is right. The answer to Bono's question, "What time is it in the world and where are we going?", can only be 3:33. The boys called out to us and showed us great and wonderful things that we did not know! Thank you U2 for always giving back to the fans! "We don't believe in luck...GRACE abounds!" The night was amazingly graceful.

Brilliant show
Great to finally be able to see the show here in Australia. Hard to get much work completed this afternoon even with a deadline tomorrow, (being a Monday workday here in Australia), when something as brilliant as this is on. Couldn't wipe the smile from my face. Love the combination of Ultraviolet and With or Without You at the end. Hope the tour eventually makes its way down to Australia.

Thanks to "all" who put the show on You-Tube. It was one of the greatest shows!! I watched it from New York, in America. It definitely was an "uplift" for my spirit and soul tonight.

A magnificent, magical, amazing (GRACE) evening at the Rose Bowl. I'm home and my cup is overflowing with gratitude and joy (and just in time for the second rebroadcast!) Bono, Edge, Adam, Larry - we've been together now 27 years. I would say you're my "Beatles", but we've lasted longer than them. So I guess that makes us family, huh? Come over for dinner when you're in Ventura County, okay? Greek food (BYOO - bring your own ouzo :) Blessings and love to the U2 team.

Live from Italy!
This will be remember as the concert that broght all fans together, regardless time zone or nation. I wish it could become something normal in the future, but let's not forget this extraordinary first time! And don't worry guys, the world won't forget you any early. (the live direction could have been a bit better, though)
mariabella

I watched from Florida and my girlfriend watched simultaneously from Scotland. That's pretty damned amazing in and of itself. Of course, we had a wonderful time. I was only able to catch the Tampa show this time around so the You Tube broadcast was an extra special treat. The picture and sound were crystal clear and the show was amazing. I loved the set list and was really happy to see so many Horizon songs included. It's an excellent album, guys. So thank you so much U2. We really enjoyed the worldwide boroadcast. Well done! See you next year in Paris. U2 forever.
