U2 live: the spectacle really is unbelievable

If there were any doubt that U2 are the masters of stadium rock, check out this AMAZING video for their new single "I'll Go Crazy if I Don't Go Crazy Tonight," a song with subtle theological implications related to the praise Psalms (a theme on this album) and related to Bono's recent comment that what distinguishes U2 is that they aim for joy in their concerts.

You helped me (via e-mail) with some comments on my MA on U2 and Newbigin- thanks- I (more than) passed.

I went to the show in Sheffield, GB a few days back. Got in, 10 yards from the walkway. I have never been so moved at a concert (it helped that Elbow were the support)- it is just fantastic.....the youtube stuff I saw just does not do it justice. Buy a ticket, get to the front, enjoy the crush and worship!

Thanks- I visit your blog from time to time- love it!
