Small Vancouver comments

I wasn't in Vancouver, didn't follow the tweeting or stream, and am just catching up now, so am totally unqualified to comment. But: thrilled at what looks like a much more cohesive, intentional process to the show. Obligated to make the usual trite comment about how astounding Willie Williams is and being unable to wait to witness his brilliance live. Also: Psalms confetti and Dante confetti during UTEOTW? Is someone in the entourage reading Rod Dreher?

It's harder for me to discern, just looking at a setlist, the logic in the second half versus the seamless-looking progression of the first half, but I do have to say I am struck by the first three songs after the intermission...
Invisible, Even Better than the Real Thing, Mysterious Ways: Father, Son, Holy Spirit?

Rock101 & U2 - The Edge And The Band

1:38

Bono: "... and the people that we were listening to didn't see that actually rock n' roll is how people are truthful and honest, and God above all else values that in us, and that's the most important thing is to be honest about where you're at in your life."

David, I wonder if you have considered starting a Tumblr or something where you could post links like all the above?
