01 April 2009



'Only love, only love can leave such a mark...' It's the next single and at The Somerville Theatre in Boston last month 'Magnificent' sounded like the live favourite it's set to become.

Just as the title says,what a superb video

Magnificent Somerville Theatre
This should be the video for the single release. It's raw & intimate. How often do you see a live performance for a video these days? Especially one where such a big band are playing on such a small stage and make it look like it's in your living room. Do it!

Goosebumps on my goosebumps
I can't wait to see them perform that song live!

Magnificent says it all.
From the lyrics to the live performance, "Magnificent" says it all. I can't wait for this song to be released, so that the rest of the world can hear this "joyful noise."

Awesome!!!
This song gives me chills every time I hear it. I love it! It is very spiritual and from the heart.
Frederic2222 - 02 April, 2009

rocker1992 - 02 April, 2009

VANTAGE POINTS!
Magnificent vantage points on the video! This was very well done as always. I can't wait to see the tour in as many stops as I can possibly afford!

Joyful Noise!
Honest reaction - Hairs stand up on back of neck! Can't wait to hear this live for myself at Wembley. Roll on August!

This is U2 at is best!!!!!!
I love already this song, i t looks like this song will be a great song to perform in the coming concerts, i can't wait to see them live. Thanks U2 for all the Magnificent Music you 4 made, U2 is the Best band in the world!!!
mimatus - 02 April, 2009
Born to be with us!
Yes, Bono is absolutely right. The band members were born to be with us in this space and time. And the best part - we get to share this space and time with them. What a joy to be living in this moment with a group as great as U2. This is a rousing performance, but then what else can you expect from such a "magnificent" band.
djmartin - 02 April, 2009
Enjoy it!
That's, whyI love U2. Only them can heal such a scar...
globetrotters - 02 April, 2009
Greatest Band Ever
How can they seem so classic and so fresh at the same time? I can't wait to see them live...
CLFESC - 02 April, 2009
Toronto Next?
Divine voices, lyrics, sound and look. Lucky Boston, New York and L.A., and others that have had the privilege of intimate/"surprise" shows. Maybe something like this in Toronto next, especially for the U2.com fans!!!! (Not complaining....the videos are great too, thanks!) See you all soon! xox

Incredibly touching....
This song touches my soul, I can't begin to tell you how I feel everytime I listen to it. From Larry's drums to Adam's bass, Edge's incredible skills on the guitar, not to mention Bono's lyrics and singing. Magnificent indeed! I can't wait to hear it Live in Chicago!!
Moman - 02 April, 2009
They still got it
Whatever about the faults of 'No Line', they still kick ass live.
Chrischi69 - 02 April, 2009
Magnifico!
Wooohooo! The live version sounds great! Why filming a video for Magnificent in Fez? This video from the Somerville Theatre is absolutely amazing! (But of course I want to see the Fez video also...LOL)

U2 is Back!
I have to say, since the new album has been released I have been a little skeptical of U2's live performances. This live performance is amazing! Bono's voice is so good. He was definitely born to sing for us!
gabe123 - 02 April, 2009
Possibly
Their best song since Beautiful Day... what a great performance
