U2.com - Announcing the Rose Bowl Webcast and Filming
We just got this news via newsletter regarding the 25 October 2009 concert in Pasadena:
As a U2.com subscriber, we wanted you to be first with some breaking news - this Sunday the band's 360° Show at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena will be filmed for a dvd.
As they're drafting in more cameras to create a great film, the band has decided to allow it to be streamed live on YouTube.
It'll be officially announced later today but at 8.30pm (PT) on Sunday, wherever you are in the world don't miss the chance to see the show live and uninterrupted online. See a clip on You Tube.
As well as being able to watch the show, we'll bring our subscribers news as the week progresses from our video reporter on the ground. We'll also have bulletins from Director Tom Krueger and other exclusive video footage from backstage over the weekend.
Stay tuned, should be quite a night...
best wishes,
The U2.Com Team

Update: The YouTube clip is now working:
This will be the first time since Under A Blood Red Sky was filmed on 5 June 1983 that a stand-alone U2 video/DVD will be filmed in a city with just one show on a given tour. Subsequent stand-alone releases have always been filmed in cities with at least two shows - and although these releases have usually claimed to represent a single night, they have contained video angles and even whole songs from other nights.
