Google claims the U2 Live from Pasadena show earlier this week, streamed live on YouTube, attracted close to 10 million viewers.

The figure is based on people who came in watched a bit and left, not the number of people who watched from start to finish.

However the figure in the actually U2 YouTube site is currently displaying 8,624,609 views as of Friday October 29, somewhat short of the 10 million claim by more than 1 million.

97,000 people witnessed the show live from the Rose Bowl in Pasadena on Sunday night. Online, viewers came from 188 countries.

YouTube claims to streaming over one billion on-demand videos a day now but the live stream of the U2 show was something new the Google owned company is trailing.
