U2.com Live on YouTube. This Sunday.

I can't believe the news today: U2 Live on YouTube. This Sunday.

U2 have confirmed via video blog that their sold-out concert at the Pasadena
Rose Bowl in California, this Sunday, 25th October, will be streamed free, in
full and live on YouTube. It's the first time a show of this size will be
streamed live.

The Rose Bowl show is the penultimate U2 show this year -
with more to come in 2010 - and already is set to host the venue's biggest ever
audience of over 96,000 fans. The 360° Tour, which has been critically acclaimed
and 're-invents rock'n'roll' (Rolling Stone Magazine), will now boast unique
access for fans worldwide - as fans in territories yet to be visited by the
tour, or not at all, will be able to enjoy the whole show online.



Can you guess what I'll be doing on Sunday?


Sunday Bloody Sunday - U2
I can't believe the news today
I can't close my eyes and make it go away.
How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
'Cos tonight
We can be as one, tonight.

Broken bottles under children's feet
Bodies strewn across the dead-end street.
But I won't heed the battle call
It puts my back up, puts my back up against the wall.

Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Oh, let's go.

And the battle's just begun
There's many lost, but tell me who has won?
The trenches dug within our hearts
And mothers, children, brothers, sisters
Torn apart.

Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

How long, how long must we sing this song?
How long, how long?
'Cos tonight
We can be as one, tonight.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

Wipe the tears from your eyes
Wipe your tears away.
I'll wipe your tears away.
I'll wipe your tears away.
I'll wipe your bloodshot eyes.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.
Sunday, bloody Sunday.

And it's true we are immune
When fact is fiction and TV reality.
And today the millions cry
We eat and drink while tomorrow they die.

The real battle just begun
To claim the victory Jesus won
On...

Sunday, bloody Sunday
Sunday, bloody Sunday..
