'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.
I had the privilege to be in Somerville for the Secret Show. what a night it was - a true fan's dream come true! Kudos to U2.com for having video footage of this performance of "Magnificent." It brought back those same goosebumps that I had when I first heard the song off NLOTH.

Amazing
Love it. The Filming made it seem so out of control, too. (No Pun intended) I'd love to see this be the video for the single like City of Blinding Lights had. Or even release the entire show as an EP.I can't wait for the tour!

What a great video from the best song on the album! I was at that show in Somerville and after seeing U2 live 5 previous times, this was the best U2 show I have seen. This video really brings out the energy that was in the theater that night!!!!

Magnificent!
This song is just awesome! Thanks U2.com for posting it since it is a really great, intimate potrayal of the band. I love how this song has an old U2 feel but a more modern U2 feel also. I hope there are plans to release this whole show in someway since it represented Somerville and the band very well.

Magnificent Opener?
Just as "City of Blinding Lights" was a great opener on the last tour, I think "Magnificent" would be awesome as the opening song this time around. Dimlighting that pulsate on the beat during the crescendo - thenboom - house lightsgoonin sync with Edge's guitar part leading to the opening vocal. "Unknown Caller" has good opening potential too.

What an experience
I could not have imagined in my wildest dreams seeing U2 in that type of intimate setting. I could have been run over by a bus after that show, and died a happy, happy man. What a superb vid!

Whoever shot and edited that video should be given a permanent job by U2. That was one of the best live pieces I've ever seen.

Simplement Magnifique ! Magnificent! No bands can sound and perform like U2 on stage! Best song of the album, best record since Achtung Baby! Hope they 'book' the show in Montreal asap!
