(CBS) PASADENA, Calif. - About 96,000 fans packed a sold-out concert for the band U2 Sunday at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., the largest show of its kind to play at the venue.
Sunday's concert was part of U2's "360" tour, which is winding down its North America leg with its final show in Vancouver Wednesday, reports CBS station KCBS-TV.
The Irish rock band played on a giant rotating stage -- an exclusively designed stage that was partially inspired by the theme building at LAX.
The Black-Eyed Peas opened the show to a record-breaking crowd both at the Rose Bowl and on the internet where the concert was
streamed live on YouTube.
It was the first full-length concert to be streamed by the Google-owned video site and will also be archived online and available for free viewing.
The U2 360 Tour was seen by more than 3 million fans in 44 cities. The band's attendance record of 84,500 was set at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., last month.
Southern California residents who missed Sunday's concert will have another opportunity to see Bono and the band June 6 when the group is scheduled to play at Anaheim's Angel Stadium according to concert promoter Live Nation.
Tickets are expected to go on sale in November.
