from LA Times:

U2’s concert at the Rose Bowl shattered attendance records at the venue as more than 100,000 people, including Rose Bowl staff, took in the band’s Southern California stop on its 360 Tour, according to the venue’s general manager, Darryl Dunn. Yet the number of fans who watched the concert online probably dwarfs that tally.

Final figures aren’t in yet from Google-owned YouTube, which streamed the concert live, but the page housing the concert has received close to 7 million “channel views.”

A YouTube spokesman expects to have viewership numbers today, but does note that the concert was the top global-trending topic on Twitter while it was streaming. The promotional clip advertising the concert received 2.7 million views.

Watch the rebroadcast here on youtube at their official channel.

P.S. judging from facebook status updates and picture uploads, I had no less than like 30 friends at this concert. Maybe I should’ve gone.

How do you guys feel about U2, are they still relevant?
