Irish rock megastars U2 rocked around 7 million fans worldwide on Youtube as they streamed their gig live on the Internet.

The band became one of the first major groups to stream an entire show live on the Internet for free when they posted a video link-up to their concert at California's Pasadena Rose Bowl on YouTube, Contactmusic reported.

"Thank you Los Angeles. Thanks to everyone watching on YouTube all over the world, seven continents!," vocalist Bono said. It is reported that music lovers from over 16 countries logged on the web for the concert which saw Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr perform to a sell-out crowd of 96,000 as part of their 360 Degrees Tour.
    
"Every horror movie needs a mad scientist and ours is just to my right, The Edge. 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," said Bono who described the gig as a "space adventure".
