The band kicked off their 360 Tour in Barcelona in June and has boasted high attendances by using a circular platform that can be viewed from all sides of arenas. YouTube has had an uneasy relation- ship with the record industry in recent years, with labels arguing that social networking and online video sites should pay them more for the right to feature their artists. However, they recognise the importance of maintain- ing their presence on sites that help shape young fans musical tastes. The site has hosted some live broad- casts in the past year, including live shows headlined by the Black Eyed Peas will.i.am and Katy Perry; but this is the first time it has streamed an entire concert by a major act. index.html2.html3.html4.html5.html6.html7.html8.html9.html10.html11.html12.html13.html14.html15.html16.html17.html18.html19.html20.html21.html22.html23.html
