U2 airing a live concert on YouTube

The AV Club is alerting its readers to a pretty nifty little promotion between U2 and YouTube (because they sound alike—see?). Apparently the band is going to be airing their Rose Bowl performance on the online video channel this Sunday. That’s a pretty good way for U2 fans to enjoy the live show, since not everyone will be able to be there, of course, and concert tickets are hard to come by. Of course, it’s a little gimmicky, but at least the band is offering people a chance to enjoy their music on TV.
The band is known for throwing intense live shows, so there’s a pretty good chance that this one will be fairly entertaining. There are some commenters on the AV Club that are already denigrating the band, however—they’ve become rather divisive in the past decade or so, with a lot of former fans swearing them off. Still, you can’t deny that they’re talented musicians and have plenty of hit songs. Expect to hear a lot of those hits when they play the Rose Bowl this weekend.
