U2 - Magnificent - Madison Square Garden, NYC - 2009/10/29&30

[felled]

only OUTSTANDING.

[dmacirish321]

Why wasn't this song a huge hit!???

[fredblair88]

quite different to the original, bono voice is deeper, drums are heavier, I wouldnt say improvments on the original but it keeps the song fresh, Edge really nails the guitar solo better than ever though, no one else on the planet could have played that.

[dosbottom]

SENSATIONAL PERFORMANCE

[flylers93]

this performance is superb.

[SallyCinnamon1982]

Edge is too sexy!!!!

[KangoTV]

I think I know what was going on. Adam's partner is pregnant at this point (we only found out Adam became a father in early 2010 last year). Maybe he'd recently told the rest of the band? See the baby/birth related lyrics of Magnificent and Bono cradling at 2:55.

[daixtrtube]

Bono should sing this song for Manny Pacquiao's next fight this 2012. Manny Pacquiao is just your ordinary guy you can see on the street and play chess, but just happen to be the GREATEST fighter of the world. It will take a force of nature to defeat him..

[tshukit69]

i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee bonoooo

[wheelman1324]

What does he say at the very beginning? Sounds like something about Rock 'n' Roll High School or I may be hearing it wrong. I listen to this video regularly so I have has no idea any time. Anybody know?

[Mrsjack43]

there's something going on between them for sure they keep on looking to each other and smiling and eye signaling ^^ and i've never seen edge this excited and happy before I just love him... he's rocking the hell out of the song at 3:27. and larry with his beautiful smile at the end

[digenovafilm]

Sounds like he has a cold or something. Pretty sure Adam cracks up at 2:30 or so because Bono sang that lyric kinda lamely

[fredblair88]

@digenovafilm I like that note, I think its arabic style singing which bono picked up listening to local singers when recording in north africa

[docchuck11]

I get the chills every time I see The Edge play. He is such a god

[docchuck11]

Couldn't agree more. By far the best song on the album, and such as asskicker.

[contactafc10]

Should have been NLOTH first single, its a such a masterpiece song!!!

What were U2 thinking??

[HitchHikersBlues]

THIS IS A HARD SONG TO SING...

[rodfromcranston]

I love how, after all the years, these guys obviously enjoy each other while performing. The Edge is awesome.

[thejosetree]

possibly the best live version of this song

[BezerkoTheCow]

@thejosetree I agree. I'm a huge U2 fan and I've seen this song performed live many times. This is the best version of it I've heard so far.

[12sabado2]

O Edge parece o Harry Potter.

[007msahmed]

magnificent!



[Susuca03]

This song is simply wonderful! I love u, guys! Thank God for having created them!

[andygamila]

Bono....nota, que fue antes de su operacion de espalda.

pero aun así, super padre !!!

me encanta

[se77oo]

He cracks up when Bono voice cracks a bit.

Best friends first best band in the world second

[smurfu2]

What is Adam laughing at? I love this band so much.

[xcualquiera]

@smurfu2 And Larry thanks.

[smurfu2]

@xcualquiera Why are they laughing?

[ayajedi]

I love how Adam and The Edge perform together with Bono at the front of the stage. Shows equality and togetherness

[rdanielson0607]

thats a lie not only love leaves a scar on you but so does the prison life

[lp32862]

I have said this before, this is the greatest version of Magnificent of all time. It captured the true the essence of the great song. Much underrated at the time.

[bentandgyan]

@lp32862 best song on what was a fairly dull album in my view. This is a belter song though!

[evelynnjoo]

this song is magnificent!!!! 

[gearjamor]

At the 2:08 mark. Adam Clayton starts to laugh, then catches himself...but then keeps breaking out laughing.

Any thoughts as to what made him break up?  A comment made to him in his earpiece...a funny sign in the audience....someone flash him... Bono messing up the lyrics?

[andygamila]

@gearjamor , claro, Bono se mofa de si mismo... es un genio y super profesional...

la presentacio fue antes de la operacion de espalda de MAY 2010, quiza por ello no estaba al 100%

[911cuca]

@gearjamor I think it's because Bono sings"Only love can leave such a scar" ...So funny!

[filahohi]

I dare you to name a better band. You just can't

[Timmonsec]

Thums up if you think this 4 are the coolest people on earth...

[filahohi]

What a show. What a performance. Truly top notch stuff

[laboloche]

Epic

[scrapplecheesesteak]

Epic!

[lm035]

Love that guitar riff!!.. one of the best U2 songs ever in my opinion.. still kings of rock and roll.. long may it continue!!!

[CateKusti]

I far, far prefer this song in an arena as opposed to a stadium. There's something far more intimate about it & its No Line companions that makes small spaces more suited, strangely enough.

[slyvester117]

And to think that, that was a free concert......

[B0N0FAN]

u2 rock

[4U2byU2]

5:27 ahahaha

[4U2byU2]

5:28 hahaha!!! Larry!

[4U2byU2]

5:28 hahaha

[theempire00]

[oldrockmanCURCIO]

this is such a great song the Edge is awesome on this video

[andrexlima]

Cara... o Adam ta arrebentando com essa linha de baixo

[valgo07]

super chanson. Magnifique qualité tant sonore que visuelle. Que du bonheur!

[ajaxrulzz]

Edge solo here is even better than on the Album

[espinozafn]

Simply the greatest Live Fucken Band Ever!!! I am so Glad I caught the Rose Bowl Show. U2= Best Live Band!

[cbono69]

Since 1984 u2 has saved my life..They gave me a soul to fight and a heart to love life....Ever since the friday night live on tv u2 red rocks Concert i was lost..Then i heard the words of u2 and i was driven...Since 1984 i have seen 34 shows and been able to tell bono how he has saved my soul from grey...Without them i would be lost and yes i have found what i was looking for!!!!Blessings to the ones who read this...Make a joyful noise...Magnifcent!!!!!

[edge18]

[Archangel9000]

Este concierto no pertenece al Tour 360º... pero da igual! U2 siempre suena MAGNIFICENT !!
