Coldplay was, in a word, awesome. If you EVER and I mean EVER...even if you're a remote fan, get the chance to see them live for less than 60 or 70 dollars TAKE IT. I've not been to many concerts in my time but regardless of that fact I can't imagine any concert being much better than what my sisters Melissa and Elizabeth, girlfriend Caroline, roommate Devin, friend from the dorm Merri, and I, all saw together Saturday night. It's really easy, even as a fan of Coldplay, to forget they they are the creators of some of the best rock songs out there now. Going to one of their concerts stands as a sobering reminder, something along the lines of "Hey, these guys are dang good! I need to listen to all their stuff again!"
I was expecting to sing along with some of their bigger hits like "Yellow" and "Clocks", then enjoy all the other mess they played in-between. What I found was that almost every song played, I knew the words too, and reason being that I really enjoyed them. That's right...ALL of them. If you have only heard the singles off the albums and the popular ones from the radio, I suggest you do yourself a big favor and pick up one of their albums. If you’re having trouble deciding, go with A Rush of Blood to the Head.
From their awesome entrance to the stage with "Square One" and a huge white countdown screen behind them to the friendly yellow balloons of "Yellow", to the hilarious screw up of "The Scientist" (he coughed and restarted near the beginning) and the sad goodbye with "Fix You", the experience made itself well worth the $20 for our tickets and indeed, called for lights to guide us home...because if they hadn't left the stage, we wouldn't have budged.
For more detail and different perspectives on the concert visit my sister, Melissa's blog and my roommate, Devin's. I also must note that all the pictures from the concert in my flickr page were taken by Devin, that sneaky bastage snuck his camera in behind enemy lines for all of us. ENJOY!
Stay tuned as my next review will be of the Death Cab concert in October!

You know what's better than Coldplay? The virtual equivalent of Coldplay in World of Warcraft.
All things are better when they're virtual.
