U2 live Sunday on YouTube!

They’re apparently broadcasting an entire show live at 8:30pm PST from Pasadena’s Rose Bowl. The channel is simple: youtube.com/u2

(As an aside, if you’ve ever traveled to the Rose Bowl to see a show, you will appreciate even more being spared the 3-hour traffic snarl in and out of the venue. It’s built in a ditch with only one road to get there. I saw Guns & Roses & Metallica there back in the day and swore I’d never go again.)

I’m sure the webcast won't preclude the inevitable DVD release of the tour sometime down the road, but for working-class slobs like me who are kicking themselves for living so far away from a big city and the requisite big paycheck to afford to catch this tour, this is a lovely gesture by one of the best, most consistently relevant rock & roll bands ever.
