It will be a hard for anyone (or any other band) to top this type of performance - but I am sure it will happen eventually! Nice explanation, Clare.

I saw them in person when U2 played at Chicago's Soldiers' Field a couple of weeks ago :: amazing, thanks in part to that robotic spider and huge cylindrical multimedia screen above the stage. To be able to experience it again (live), my first global music concert Webcast, and be able to enhance the whole social experience via Twitter was indeed a treat. I took pleasure in reading tweets from people around the world, in English, Portuguese, Spanish and German, and all the other languages I do not speak, simply marvelous. It made me reflect on the world at large, our differences and similarities. What a second to none performance. What a special feeling, all united, thanks to U2, Google, YouTube, Twitter and that wonderful one-in-a-lifetime invention, called :: The Internet. YouTube showed once again the high fidelity, quality and flexibility of Adobe Flash Video technology. 1.3 million people watching it live, simultaneously around the world, connected by art, YouTube and Twitter. Last night's "social case study" was something, alright, the first ever crowd-attendance of music concerts to come, enhanced by social networking tools like Twitter. #U2webcast was/is an awesome unforgettable experience. Why, I am watching the YouTube on-demand archive of the whole concert at www.youtube.com/u2 and rewinding pieces of it at will. Welcome to The Social of this flexible digital continuum. Thank you again, U2, YouTube and Twitter. Yesterday’s U2’s 360° World Tour Concert from The Rose Bowl was simply out-of-this-world.
