I am sorry. I am long-winded.

 

 

Wasn't so smart and decided to ride with a friend who was also going. We were late. I missed all of Fiona's set except for one song. It was good too. I wish I had known her song so I could appreciate it better.

 

My seat was on the end on the far left in the 3rd row. I wore a yellow shirt so look for me in pics. lol . right in front of the huge speaker/subwoofer thing. It was massive and loud.

 

I right away noticed how far away the seats were from the rail. I wanted to get to that rail. :sneaky: and the stage was super high and set back.

2 seats were empty in the front row for a looooonnng time before it started, but of course the ppl finally showed up. WITH NACHOS. I was like o my freaking lord. you have got to be kidding me. and then sat down and chomped down on them. :rolleyes:

 

Coldplay came out and the ppl in the front moved to the rail. THANK GOD. So the ppl in row 2 moved to the right toward the half circle part of the stage. I kindly asked If I could then stand in their spot. "well what if they come back" " uh well then I can move back!" duh. and why the hell would you move back when you could be on the rail.

 

Square one=AHHHHH, Politik= loud harsh and god I loved it.

Yellow= I actually touched a balloon this time! But they mostly were stuck near the stage. like I said those around me were statues.

Speed of Sound= nifty! I tried to take a pic while Chris came to this side of the stage but no the mean security guard man handled me back into my row. Sorry bud, I didnt know stepping out into the 6 foot wide space was illegal. pshhh.

 

GPASUYF= pure bliss was at max during this moment. I danced like no other. LIVE this song is like a drug. I need to hear it over and over again. This was also where I made some friends. A couple was also aware that COLDPLAY does indeed rock and were also dancing. We were tearing it up. After I said " Isn't it funny how no one else is dancing?" and they replied " YEAH. WTF those ppl in the front row are assholes, look at those mother fuckers, they aren't even moving" and then the guy screamed

" YOU DONY DESERVE TO BE THERE!" ha.

right on bro.

 

X&Y=hotness. more psychadelic dancing and waving of my arms. I adored it since I had never heard it live before.

HYSTW= beautifully done. no one knew the words around me. I smirked.

Don't Panic=ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh JONNY SINGING. flipping out.

White Shadows/The Scientist= superbly done.

Acoustic set of TKC, ROF, and Trouble= A++. I screamed bloody murder right when Trouble began. recieved some harsh looks. just jealous they didn't know the song.

Clocks= I think a couple of chairs were hurt from my crazy legs and dancing. finally some of the nursing home folks woke up. sorry if that offends anyone. Nacho ppl were sitting at this point. with arms crossed. I was thisclose to grabbing their chairs and tossing them aside. but I refrained.

Talk= I know Chris does his thing but I was watching Jonny tear up the guitar.

 

TURNING POINT: Ppl to my right whose seats I were in, LEFT . :wink3:

now I was right behind the ppl on the rail against the half circle.

They started to move away. I yelled " ARE YOU LEAVING?" she said " yes but we are coming back" " oh ok well I will just stand here until you do" well they didn't!

 

SIS= I was on the brink of tears. I had made it to the rail!!!! not swallowed in the seas of statues!

 

IMP= I knew Chris would jump stage soon. got a good pic of it. If I had been in my original seat I could have touched him. IT's ok. I was upset but not. I loved being squared up with Jonny instead. :D

Fix You= AMAZING! I let it all out. jumping and screaming.

 

 

Then I was shooed off the floor, had to get it cleared cuz the pistons are playing tonight against the pacers. whoopdedoo. jk I love bball but I couldn't get a setlist. I asked like 5 ppl. I enjoyed it and I won't even talk about my camera complications.

 

But I couldn't see Will at all during the regular set. :( :( :(

And I so wanted to be closer to Guy.

I guess you can't have it all.

:) :) :) :) :) :)

Amazing!!! Haha, I would've loved to hear that guy tell 'em... :lol:

 

YOU GUYS GOT TROUBLE!!! I AM SOOOO GRINCH-GREEN RIGHT NOW!

personally i thought trouble was the weakest performance of the set, probably because they only played half of it. :(

Nice summary Marisa. Heh..I still got your name wrong from a message from before. :rolleyes: But got it right this time. Your name on these boards simplify it!!

 

I hope everyone had a great time. I was dancing my little tail off and having a great time!!

 

Anyway I can get hooked up with an avatar like yours???

Amazing story...

 

I swear...I now worship that confetti I managed to save...It makes up for not being able to buy a 30 dollar shirt.

 

Thanks for the pictures too!

Was at the concert last night. Just unreal, that all i gotta say. Best show I've ever seen. Now the important question is, does anyone have or know of a bootleg that might be floating around out there. I would love a chance to try and re-create the show again :)

He was like' date=' "I know you're probably all wondering why Coldplay has their hair like the Bee-Gees, but when you go on tour for a while, you get scared of getting your hair cut because you can't trust anyone to do it. Well, tomorrow I'm getting my hair cut in Michigan. The message of this next song is one that I will think of tomorrow." And then he went right in to "Don't Panic." :lol: [/quote']

 

Yess finally :juggle: :rolleyes:

 

After I said " Isn't it funny how no one else is dancing?" and they replied " YEAH. WTF those ppl in the front row are assholes, look at those mother fuckers, they aren't even moving" and then the guy screamed

" YOU DONY DESERVE TO BE THERE!" ha.

right on bro.

 

Clocks= I think a couple of chairs were hurt from my crazy legs and dancing. finally some of the nursing home folks woke up. sorry if that offends anyone. Nacho ppl were sitting at this point. with arms crossed. I was thisclose to grabbing their chairs and tossing them aside. but I refrained.

 

WTF..I hate when people who don't like too much a band (and I believe this is the case as you can't sit armed crossed during Clocks) are in the first rows :angry: stealing the seats to real fans...you should have really done what you felt to do ;) and maybe also break the chairs against their heads :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

nice piccies Marisa :cool:

This was my first Coldplay show, and i loved it. I was wondering if there's any possibility of getting a copy of the show itself? My boyfriend and I go to Dave Matthews alot and the band allows people to record his shows and I was wondering if Coldplay does the same. It would be greatly appericated.

 

 

 

2 seats were empty in the front row for a looooonnng time before it started, but of course the ppl finally showed up. WITH NACHOS. I was like o my freaking lord. you have got to be kidding me. and then sat down and chomped down on them. :rolleyes:

 

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

Lets just laugh at those effing idiots. :rolleyes: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

AMAZING! where were you seated?

YAY I LOVE THE PICS

 

that guitar sure looks good on him hehe

AMAZING! where were you seated?

Thanks! We were sitting fourth row center!

 

Glad everyone enjoyed the pics! I have some good video as well, but the file size is just too huge! I'll try to compress them and put them up as well.

 

I think I'm going to Cleveland in March. They're just amazing live and the whole crowd was behind them 100%!

Awesome! you had the perfect view then!

yeah that would be great if you posted the videos.

yes, definitely go to Cleveland! I would but I have an exam that day and would never make it in time.

 

I look forward to more goodies from ya!
