January 31, 200620 yr Here a link to my pics I got some good ones. I change them after a while and put pics from Oakland tonight. Yea going to two in a row :-) The show started fairly tame the crowd was fucking asleep I have never been in as lame coldplay show crowd wise but that changed. While playing the acoustic portion Chris broke a sting during “+” and Called it "a horrible tragedy" had a new guitar brought out started to play again. After about 3 chords he stopped and said. Paraphrasing here He said “I know you guys think it’s easy being a Napoleon Dynamite hair having rock star but when your playing in front of 15,000 people in a city you’ve never played and you break a sting it’s a I cant remember what he said but something like a bummer and then he asked for a bit of encouragement to continue and the crowd finally came alive. So he never finished playing “+” and just went into Ring of Fire. After that it was going to be a short acoustic portion since they never played the acoustic song from X and Y. I was in the third row and I yelled out “PLAY GREEN EYES” AND THEY DID. I have not seen green eyes on any set lists and I think we got a treat so that was too cool. Check out the picture of Chris in the crowd he almost got tore to pieces right after that I got a little worried but he made it out. http://photobucket.com/albums/b192/leftfield66/
January 31, 200620 yr thanks, the pics are brilliant! :) [i guess it's time I start to support that haircut idea, though... :lol: ]
January 31, 200620 yr BEAUTIFUL. I wish Chris would have run down my aisle!!! DAMN these are good. edit: OMFG YOU TOLD THEM TO PLAY GREEN EYES?!?!?!?! OMG!!! AND YOU'RE GOING TO OAKLAND TONIGHT?! SORRY FOR THE CAPS! AHHHH!!! Take more beautiful pics!!!
January 31, 200620 yr Author I was not keeping track of the setlist. There was no "trouble" which i was expecting and we got "Green Eyes" which I wan not expecting. "Swallowed by the Sea" was the first encore and I can't remember everything else. He made jokes about his hair all night. He said. "I know it's a bummer when you show up at a concert and the lead singer has a different hair cut than the one that he had on the album and I suppose some of you will want your money back and that's OK we are going to make it all back on the sequel to Napoleon Dynamite"
January 31, 200620 yr i love how you refer to it as "+" lol. I'm happy they are changing the setlist up a bit even if it was forced. Green Eyes would have been great!
January 31, 200620 yr Author Yea i noticed I did not know the name of the song and I looked it up on my Muiscmatch software and the song is listed as "+" so LOL thats what I put down.
January 31, 200620 yr I was there and I agree about the crowd.... I was the only one hopping around near me... I was front row! I was further to your right and I got one of his tossed finger bands!!!! I am going to oakland tonight and san jose... but will be further back. it will be interesting to see how they change the set list. I am very excited!!! :)
January 31, 200620 yr Author Yea most of the crowd in the front were made up of rich fuckers that were just there because they could afford it or just to say they were there. I saw you catch the finger band. I'll be in sec 101 row 3 tonight have fun. The Oakland crowd will ROCK
January 31, 200620 yr http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=27383 Coldplay Live at ARCO Arena, Sacramento 2006-01-30 From the Official Coldplay Messageboard: Fantastic show!!! It's my first time seeing Coldplay and I was very impressed. Set list was pretty standard, but we did get "Green Eyes" tonight which was a nice treat. Chris did a nice job interacting with the crowd and made some funny improvisations during a few song bits. Only lowlight of the night occured during "Til Kingdom Come" when Chris broke a guitar string and had to cut the song short. Anyway, here's what they played tonight: Square One Politik Yellow Speed Of Sound God Put A Smile Upon Your Face X & Y How You See The World Don't Panic White Shadows The Scientist Til Kingdom Come (partial) Ring Of Fire Green Eyes Clocks Talk Swallowed In The Sea In My Place Fix You I thought the show couldnt get any better except I wish they would have played trouble. That was pretty funny to when chris had the new kids on the block joke and compared himself to napoleon dynomite.
February 1, 200620 yr Yeah, great pictures! Thank you for posting. That's beyond awesome you guys got to hear Green Eyes. :o
