Here are my observations and impressions of last nights show. Hands down....very entertaining. Hard to imagine any other show that would be as good. The effort that is put out by Coldplay is truly appreciated. Other points to make are:

-contrary to other posts, chris martin sings very well live

-last night chris wore all white leather adidas HIGH tops (ok, maybe I pay too close attention)

-last night between songs during the acoustic set, chris martin took a quick swig of guy berryman's beck beer. This is really no big deal, but there has been some strange scrutiny over whether he drinks/smokes, etc. Trust me, I saw it from 20-30 feet away.

-though I am not from omaha, I was proud that the band seemed guenuinely pleased with the turnout (sold out) and response from those in attendance. For some reason I was afraid to be there with a half filled arena and bored concergoers. As it was, omaha did better than minneapolis.

-There was a new screen prop added to the show from the first leg of the tour. A very large sheer screen came down mid show that was used to project video etc. This was about 10 feet in front of the smaller LED screen.

-and finally, fiona apple was WELL received and although unusual in her performance style, still very talented and entertaining.

-and also, the qwest center in omaha is a very impressive venue. I would be very surprised if coldplay does not make a return visit... I know I will.

Setlist? Thanks for the impression...

The setlist was pretty standard, nothing unusual. see http://www.desmoinesregister.com for the setlist.
