As many of you may know, the band is in Germany for a couple of shows after having fortunately been in Paris last Friday!!
Tonite's setllist included several songs in reaction to the events there, including It's so Heavy, The Sky is Crying, and Fire and Rain. See the list here:

Nice!
Haven't those songs been in their regular rotation for a while? Do you know if they did any dedications?
I think "It's So Heavy" isn't played very much at all, but the others have been in set lists on and off all year.
They played It's So Heavy here in St. Louis back in the spring. They didn't dedicate it specifically to anyone or anything but Susan said something about how we're living in difficult times and how we can make it through. Felt good. I hope it felt good for the people at the show in Germany.
Susan explicitly dedicated "It's so heavy" in their gig in Bochum on Saturday for the the people in Paris. The mood in the audience changed as you can imagine. For me, it was a moving moment, I had been in the Friday gig in Stuttgart as well, at the time when the cruel things happened in Paris.
I have just learned from the German TV that the soccer game Netherlands-Germany has been cancelled 20 minutes ago and 1 hour before the official start.
Let's pray for peace.
