Rose Bowl Show to be filmed for DVD + Webcast

[Sicy]

Just got this email via U2.com.

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

Nice. Director Tom Krueger - no Hamish this time, which is good imo.

 

[Irishteen]

Just got it too, pretty awesome

 

[BVS]

I approve

 

[chazman151]

I am happy now

 

[Galeongirl]

Just got it too, and as usual with the dvd info I'm dissapointed. Though the crowd here should be better than Boston and Chicago right?

 

[Jamescorymiko]

Sicy, you were fast. I came to post something, but you beat me to it!

I think this is a good choice.

2 questions -

What are your thoughts on the director, Tom Krueger.

Will YouTube crash?

 

[nicv]

YES!!!

I will be able to say I WAS THERE!

 

[Sicy]

It says 'See a clip on You Tube' but when I click on the link it says 'this video is private'.

This is AWESOME news! Isn't the Rose Bowl going to be the biggest attendance in the US?

Galeongirl, why disappointed?? Where would you have wanted it to be filmed?

Also..what's wrong with Chicago? I went to both shows this tour there and the crowd was AMAZING. Actually went to both Gillette and both Wembley and Chicago was a close second to Wembleys excitement!

 

[U2crush]

YES!!!

I will be able to say I WAS THERE!

LOL! I don't blame you for being excited! feel the same way about Slane castle dvd and Boston Elevation too. (and another concert i saw at the original wembley years ago, but won't mention the band here...)

 

[BVS]

Interesting that they are choosing a sight where they are only playing one night...

 

[Sicy]

Isn't the Rose Bowl going to be the biggest attendance in the US?

Yeah I think it is.. and that would probably make it best choice for filming.

The GA crowd is always what makes the concert DVDs for me, so all of us IF'ers need to go wild!!!

Wow, my excitement for this show is even more insane than it was before.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I see why they brought back UC then...

 

[U2girl]

Er...what time's 8.30pm (PT) for us Europeans ?

I was born and raised in LA, and have always been ashamed of how poor the energy is at all LA shows. I hope we can change our image and really bring it on Sunday night.
