U2 played Get On Your Boots, Magnificent, Vertigo (with snippets of Substitute and She Loves You) and Beautiful Day on top of BBC’s Broadcasting House in London’s Langham Place tonight while about 5,000 fans watched from below. Police closed Portland Place in Westminster to divert traffic away from the area.
The short set was broadcast live on BBC digital TV (‘red button’)

You can watch it here! It has a weird vibe to it, like the Obama inauguration concert, with the distance between the band and the crowd.

“Not available in your area” was worse for Battlestar Galactica. Thank god for torrents.
Viva la revolution, baby.

What a great view. Where’s the fan video footage from the ground? Was there no one with a flip HD or anything down there?

iPlayer, iTunes….they both don’t seem to like the global playground…
At least we get U2’s taxes

“Not available in your area” is the single most annoying thing ever to appear on my screen. My area is the world. No frontiers, man. *hippie dreamer*

“Video not available in your area”. Oi, Australia is part of the Commonwealth and the Queen is our Head of State, you bitches!
