I dunno, I just shiver at the beautiful clarity in blu ray just picking out boring farts in the GA section eating hotdogs. I like to see the whole flore bounce as one. I don't think we will see this in an American shot DVD. We will get some lovely visuals of The Claw but I want to see that crowd pump. Hope those attending can do it


    Hopefully knowing they will be in a dvd will stir up the energy, didn't exactly work in the Chicago DVD though

    Get your point and you're right. Maybe I care less because I don't actually watch music DVD's often, I just rip the audio of it. So any release is heavily anticipated here.

    Moreover I don't ever even try to understand the marketing strategies of U2. I just can't.
  4. I just hope they nail Ultraviolet for the DVD
  5. I also hope that youtube has a lot of spare bandwidth. Live seems high risk to me
  6. I don't believe for one mintue this is going to be THE dvd release, for the simple fact they are streaming it live. How many sales will that stop. We all know the boys are cash obsessed at the minute(remasters etc). At the end of the tour is my guess for the official dvd.
  7. California, US U2 have confirmed via video blog that their sold-out concert at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in California, this Sunday, 25th October, will be streamed free, in full and live on YouTube. It's the first time a show of this size will be streamed live.

    The Rose Bowl show is the penultimate U2 show this year - with more to come in 2010 - and already is set to host the venue's biggest ever audience of over 96,000 fans. The 360° Tour, which has been critically acclaimed and 're-invents rock'n'roll' (Rolling Stone Magazine), will now boast unique access for fans worldwide - as fans in territories yet to be visited by the tour, or not at all, will be able to enjoy the whole show online.

    Managed in partnership with Live Nation, this sell-out tour has broken attendance records in most venues it has visited - its success due in part to increased capacity coupled with a lower ticket price and great sight lines afforded by the stunning in-the-round stage set.

    U2 manager Paul McGuinness said, 'The band has wanted to do something like this for a long time. As we're filming the LA show, it's the perfect opportunity to extend the party beyond the stadium. Fans often travel long distances to come to see U2 - this time U2 can go to them, globally.'

    YouTube will be streaming live across five continents. The show will be available in the usual You Tube way, as video-on-demand, following two full replays - after the live stream - on both U2.com and You Tube.

    'YouTube is thrilled to be able to provide our global audience with a live streaming performance from one of the world's greatest bands,' said Michele Flannery, Music Manager, YouTube. 'We are always looking for new ways to connect fans around the world with their favourite artists, and this is the perfect opportunity to do just that.'

    Ya but how many people who aren't big fans spend the cash on the tour dvd? It's ALWAYS on youtube. I don't think the broadcast will affect that. People who buy it will buy it regardless
  9. Indeed, that was my 4th thought at 19:18 when I received the email.

    Why broadcasting ( = giving for free) a show and then expecting people to buy it?


  10. YouTube will secure this, I'm sure.

    Also, more than a billion videos are being watched on YouTube daily.
  11. Yeah I thought of it also. I don't have I have much chances to see it, bandwidth will be limited and me, with my crappy 3MB DSL connection...

    Hoping for a very good (not Sheffield again, please) rip of the show
