Originally posted by u2wanderer1:Well total views at the end of streaming for each video (within a few minutes of each being taken down anyway):
Slane: 448,614
Red Rocks: 254,882
PopMart: 340,771
U2ieTour: 207,608
The last one was taken down at around 49.5 hours, the others had stayed up longer before being taken down. But it wasn't picking up many viewers at the end...I don't think even with another 10 hours that it would have beaten Red Rocks.
During the premieres, when you could see viewership totals?
Slane maxed out at around 20,000 viewers, Red Rocks was the lowest watched 'live' maxing out at around 8,000 viewers, PopMart had about 14,200 viewers 'live' at the peak and U2ieTour had about 11,300 viewers live at the peak.
Just over 1.25 million views across the four shows. Not bad considering that it had almost all been material we've seen before.
We have the rest of our wrap up here: https://www.u2songs.com/videos/the_virtual_road

Originally posted by LikeASong:I also wonder how many of the viewers were first time viewers - for me it's actually hard to fathom that someone hasn't watched Red Rocks or Slane I mean, what have they been doing with their lives?!
Originally posted by SJKamal:Exciting, although I did only watch Paris the other day lol. Never seen Popmart or Red Rocks so this will be a good opportunity. Also nice to get Slane upscaled (again).

Originally posted by deanallison:When you look at they numbers though and you think about the number of fans that actually pay to see the band live on tours I don’t think the virtual tour can be seen as much of a success. I think a previously unreleased show would have got twice as much as the 4 shows view counts put together. I’m glad to have got 3 free upgrades (no upgrade on Paris compared to blu Ray) but it still has lacked that excitement. I miss the likes of staying up til stupid o’clock to tune in to the rose bowl show, that’s the closest I’ve felt watching a gig to actually being at a gig because of the excitement of seeing something new, live as it was happening.

Overplayed and we've lived with them for twenty years now... regarding Beautiful Day as a 'favourite' song, only a casual fan would list that as a favourite.
