It looked like a huge paparrazi swarm from where i was sitting lol was her mother with her?? i thought that was her sitting next to Gwen?
it's 1AM and i got up at 5 this morning, i am tired. AWESOME SHOW

we got to our seats right around the end of santogold's act (great timing!) and then we were just sitting around waiting as you do at any concert. so then the girls next to us start taking pictures of a lady behind us so i asked who it was and they said kate bosworth. so i'm like... that's cool because she's famous but i don't really know her. so then these people come out from behind the stage and again the girls next to me are pointing and one of them yells GWYNETH! and then the whole crowd in our section and everyone in that corner of the floor stood up and gave her an ovation and she just kept coming closer and closer to me until shes sitting directly behind me just two rows back. i was shaking that i was in awe so much and right when i thought about shaking her hand and talking to her... the lights went down and my focus was completely diverted to coldplay. life in technicolor had so much energy tonight and i could tell right off the bat the show was going to be incredible. the crowd went nuts during violet hill and at the end chris said 'now this is gunna be a REALLY GOOD ONE!' i got the biggest chills when he said that because i know he only says that if he means it. clocks seemed a lot better tonight because he did more with the vocals... went higher at some parts... it was great. the sold out crowd was IMMENSE during the chorus of in my place. viva la vida was better and i don't even know why. but i just enjoyed it a lot more. yes was the same. a little bit of low energy but the jam sesh at the end is just SO INCREDIBLE. i could watch that over and over there is just so much energy in it. 42 was great. i looked at gwyneth during it and she was singing all the words! fix you was like... hartford times 20 (2732 aka nick... you would have died). the crowd LOVED it and chris did his hopping on stage and sang the end of it SO BEAUTIFULLY!! chinese sleep chant was dull again. i know some people out there like this song but i just don't get it! really i dont get how they play this live and not cemeteries!! but GPASUYF was cool again and he added in some lyric about 'playing down in massachusetts' (anyone remember it exactly??). the one area of the show that was worse than hartford was that they replaced square one/hardest part with speed of sound. it was nice to have at least one change but i was really looking forward to hearing square one again!! Lost! was great... crowd knew it really well. chris put a great ending on it. i think it was before this song that he talked about all the monday night TV we were missing and he mentioned home improvement and SEINFELD and everyone in my section looked back at him and laughed and i swear we made eye contact!! scientist was beautiful... bigger crowd = more amazing NOBODY SAID IT WAS EASYYYYY. before death will never convquer chris wouldn't stop talking about how amazing will was and then he said 'ok now i'll shut the fuck up' it was hilarious. back on stage politik was INCREDIBLEEEEEE. like FUCKING INSANE!!!!! i like came close to getting emotional during OPEN UP YOUR EYYYYYES. the piano solo as usual was stunning. lovers in japan was just as good but a tad less for me than hartford because i was on the floor at hartford so i got the confetti. but at one point he came down the ramp in front of us and pointed to gwyneth!! after LiJ gwyneth and her crew left. then chris dedicated death and all his friends to tom brady!!! haha at the beginning he messed up the lyrics and said ah fuck. crowd went nuts and he started again. it was BEAUTIFUL. he added so much to the vocals and the instrumental build up was crazy yet again. i couldn't even breath during the NO I DONT WANNA BATTLE... becaue i was jumping up and down so much. chris said a long goodbye and then they left. the lights stayed down for awhile and i was really hopeful for another encore but it never came! i'm really not that disappointed and i thought i would be but that shows how amazing the show was!

other thing i can remember:
chris said the boston fans were better than all the other shows combined!!
after the scientist he talked about how his harmonica playing was pointless and didn't sound good.
chris said before the scientist that he wrote the song after spending a steamy night with condeliza rice!! it was hilarious!

ahhh that's it for now! i'm sad its all over but i'm still in such a buzz from the show. amazing amazing amazing and that's all i can say!

on the left side of the stage, 6 rows back from the ramp on the left side. not floor but like 6 rows back in loge. really great seats. every time they came out on that ramp i could see like every detail in their faces. i could tell a few times that chris was scanning our section for gwyneth. another thing that was weird was everytime i looked down at the people on the floor i could see at least 10 people looking up in our direction just staring at gwyneth. i felt kind of bad for her. it must be hard to really enjoy the show when about 30 people are staring at you at ALL times!

cool thanks.... i know that must be hard but from whay youve said it looked like she enjoyed the show haha......i cant wait to see the pics!

Hahaha, that Condeleezza Rice bit was perfect.

"Physically we were alright, but politically we just didn't match up."

I pretty much died.

For all the Facebookers out there, here (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...2910307&ref=mf) is the best of the best of my photos.

I also got videos of Clocks (partially), Viva La Vida, 42, Strawberry Swing (absolutely HAD to get these two), Fix You from the guitar solo to the end, the techno God Put A Smile Upon Your Face, Death Will Never Conquer (including the banter beforehand where he said fuck several times and then added "Don't put this on the Internet!"), Lovers In Japan (which I'll admit kind of sucks because I had floor seats and was very distracted by the confetti), and Death And All His Friends (including the "Aw, fuck!" bit).

I'm a little embarassed because I didn't realize how much of my own singing it would pick up, so there are some instances where you can barely hear Chris because myself, my friend, and all the people around us just overpower him, but regardless, I'll try to get those on YouTube soon.

Not only was gwyenth and her mom there, jerry seinfeld was right next to them along with kate bosworth, Tom Brady and his girlfriend Jazelle. I was front row in section 13 and they were about 10th row in section 13, right before coldplay took the stage, everyone got on their feet when they all walked up together. Also stings wife was there along with spielbergs wife. The crowd was incredible also, best time ive seen them and it was my 6th.

Awesome! I'm so happy for you! Great review in your other post too! Were you on the left when looking from the crowd (Jonny's side)? Or left when onstage (Guy's side)?

[BostonSportsTD]

Jonnys side! haha i actually thought of you crazy girls when he walked down the ramp.

to 'abisirg': i was 6th row in 13! but brady and gisele weren't in the same row as the rest of them. they were all in row 8.

[cold_love23]

I can't wait for pics, there were so many celebs there, I hope people got pics of them as well

Question for you, while it's still so fresh in your mind.

Did JB go down Guy's ramp on his own during either the Hartford or Boston shows (especially during In My Place)? Or just down his own ramp with Chris like usual? Thanks!
