U2 broke it’s own attendance record  with the Rose Bowl show, according to Reuters:

The band’s 360 Tour played the Pasadena, California, Rose Bowl on October 25 to a sellout crowd of 97,014 — the highest attendance on record for one U.S. show by a single headliner based on box office totals reported to Billboard.

The old record was set on September 25, 1987, at the now-demolished John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia with a crowd of 86,145 in attendance for the band’s Joshua Tree Tour.

And according to YouTube, the online simulcast of the concert garnered 10 million viewers.  The Los Angeles Times was skeptical of the claim.

So here is the complete concert from YouTube:
