Just before singing "So Beautiful Or So What," Paul made one reference to bin Laden: "Just a brief word as someone who comes from New York, as an American.... I feel a ten year wait for a sense of justice..." and what could have been "has been resolved" but I´m not sure because the crowd was yelling so loudly at that point.

Thanks for the timely report and the MN newspaper links Roy! Much appreciated. So nice to see "Questions for the Angels" in the setlist. I believe one of the articles at the links you posted said "Getting Ready for Christmas Day" was performed. Is that true? I look forward to seeing your thoughts on how tonight´s MN club show compared to last night´s theater show. You must be having a great time in MN! Enjoy. :)
