Magnificent: Behind The Scenes in Morocco

A few weeks back the band headed out to Fes, Morocco, to shoot a video for the new single Magnificent.

Setting up a performance space inside a local riad, director Alex Courtez also took band and camera crew out on the streets of this mediaeval city - amongst the traders in the market, on the ancient walls and playing with local kids.

This behind-the-scenes special is cut to the album version of Magnificent, not the single edit. Stay tuned for the new video itself... coming soon.

IzzledaSizzle - 01 May, 2009 Best song in the world! Even my friends love this song! And believe me, it's not easy convincing people of these things where I live. I can barely get them to listen to the songs at all, let alone like them. At least there are enough U2 fans in my state to get them to come. I can't wait until the music video comes out, and, more imoprtantly, I cant wait until October 3rd! Rank:
