Where oh where to begin. Perhaps most U2 fans are currently buzzing about U2's latest new song debut tonight; titled "Boy Falls From the Sky", it is U2's recent new song for the upcoming and infamous Spider Man musical. A video from it's debut show in the second concert in Coimbra, Portugal can be seen below. It seems to be a very good song, though I look forward to a higher quality video to give it justice.
Also can be seen below is U2's performance of Magnificent. Notice how Bono is not vocalizing his signature phrases and motivational "oh oh oh!" he normally does. Around 1:40 into the video, Bono also stops singing. Many fans are posting like mad their theories and suggestions. Although from a few facebook posts, I have heard indirectly that Bono appeared to be in pain at tonight's showing. This has many fans, including myself, in an uproar concerning Bono's health. Many are concerned that he is over-doing his performance at shows and is on a road for more physical harm if he continues. I guess right now we just need to have some faith that the band and Bono alike will continue in good health. It is hard to identify what is going on in the (seemingly) only video online so far of Magnificent from U2's second Coimbra show. Naturally, the camera crew will cut to shots of Adam and Edge to keep the majority of the crowd from knowing what's going on--and unfortunately the video was shot from a great distance.
If there is one interesting thing that has come from this, it is probably hearing Magnificent without Bono's lyrical additions in the beginning. It doesn't sound normal!
In other past news, U2 debuted Spanish Eyes for only the 16 time ever, and the first time since Barcelona's Elevation concert back in August 8, 2001. Spanish Eyes was released as a B-Side for I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For back in May of 1987, and is a fan favorite and ideal for Spanish concerts in this case. A video can also be seen below.
Let's pray good health and luck for Bono!
