U2 have broadcast a whole gig live on the web for fans all over the world to enjoy.
About 96,000 watched the gig inside the stadium with loads more expected to have watched online on the group's U2be, sorry, YouTube page.
After welcoming "everyone watching on YouTube all over the world - seven continents," Bono went on to introduce his band and in the process sounded like a bit of a dork.
Comparing his bandmates to famous characters from Hollywood history, with drummer Larry Mullen as "James Dean" and bassist Adam Clayton was Clark Gable as Gone With The Wind's Rhett Butler, Bono then went on to introduce The Edge.
"Every horror movie needs a mad scientist, and ours is just to my right. He wants to boldly go where no guitar players have ever gone before. He's Mr Spock to us, he's The Edge to you."
Bono rounded it up by comparing himself to "Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito with a little bit of Dennis Hopper thrown in".
So... a couple of guys most people under 40 don't care about, a famously boring bloke and a strange mishmash of all sorts of different personalities, one of them being a gobby short man? Fair enough.

"What’s really interesting about this movie, however, is the scope of the subject matter. On the surface, this movie is guitar porn; three extremely talented musicians talk craft and share a few of their secrets and jam out on a few songs. But then there’s a deep level of music appreciation in this movie. Link Wray’s “Rumble” will always sound different after you listen to it with Jimmy Page miming along to his favorite parts (while standing in his music room, with shelves packed with hundreds and hundreds of CDs and records). Jack White really gets into the music that inspired him, and the movie includes some very old footage of some of the original blues men of America, including Sam House and Blind Gary Davis, and White gets into the whys of the blues and how deep the genre can get. Meanwhile, The Edge talks about his early exposure to punk rock and how it just blew the doors open as to what he knew about music at the time."

Forget global warming! In this send up of the group's shameless 2004 pimp-omercial for the Apple iPod, we reveal how filthy rich pop stars with private airliners and venture capital funds pose a greater threat to our civilization than a few sunburned polar bears. As the hooded Irish icon and his ilk raise hundreds of thousands to fight hunger and waste millions advertisiing it, the line between religious charity and the corporate bottom line is blurred. Armed with vanity and delusions of sanctity, Bono and the lads at Elevation Partners take Gordon Gekko's credo to the next level: "Fear is transitory. Greed is permanent!"Forget global warming!
