bluexylophone Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 by the way, I KNEW that the rules were simply a scare tactic. the whole thing about them knowing "just by looking at the ticket" and someone's friend saying something about how MSG got people to check ID's. hahah. they simply scanned them and we were all in :) nothing but a manipulative scare tactic. but hey, that means that Tom's crew, including me, got in and enjoyed the show. that said, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Tom, sooooo much for giving me your extra ticket. You are generosity incarnate and a true gentlemen. May you fly back home safely. Goodnight everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icecoldplay Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 JUST GOT BACK! AMAZING show. Yes- the setlist was predictable, and Yes- there was no encore. But I have never heard Chris's voice sound so on point. The whole band was on top of their game tonight. They made it feel like a huge arena show but also like it was in your living room. Excellent and free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluexylophone Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 another thing i don't know about you guys but how awesome was Jon Hopkins? god he was like Jonny Greenwood's brother up there and the animation was dreamlike and oddly beautiful. that was a great way to lead into the show. i even liked a couple of The Blue Jackets songs. haha. but yeah, Jon Hopkins = genius.

bluexylophone Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 201, nice :) when i saw them come around to guys i was like, "wow.. this is something else" and then Will sang! hahah man oh man. too good. i can't wait for youtube videos, especially for Fix You. that was probably favorite sing along at any show i've ever been to in my life i got goosebumps. and when the jumbo screen came on behind them... i can die happy now. that was a beautiful experience. but yeah. i'm off to bed now. more tomorrow. haha. again, Thank You Tom :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halokiti Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I had a freak out when they went into the crowd during yellow, I was in section 128 aisle and ran down to try to get closer. It was almost as good as the last MSG when Chris was like 5 rows in front of me during "In My Place." The place was more packed than I thought it would be, security was super lax, we didn't even put on our wristbands. I took my friend to his first Coldplay concert and he loved it. He also liked that for once he was in MSG for someone that doesn't suck like the Knicks. I was so excited that I forgot what the set list was. My favorite songs live from this album is "Lost!" and "Viva La Vida." My pictures suck being in the section I was, but I'll put them up too so everyone can see the layout and stuff.

captnjeter Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Great show. Wasn't too impressed with Jon Hopkins, but once they took the stage, Coldplay proved why they are one of (if not the) top band on the planet. A lot of people were upset about the lack of an encore, but considering it was FREE, and I got to see one of my favorite bands, I didn't mind. PS. How awesome was Chris after he screwed up on Fix You? That was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prolifick Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 just got back like 10 mins ago. GREEEATT SHOW! Wwaaaay to short for any true coldplay fans taste though. I was bummed about no encore, espeically when bascially everyone was chanting there names for 3mins after they had left. I'm just so glad i got in. I felt the old stuff was really good but you could tell that they really havent all the kinks worked out of there new material. Overall best damn free show ive ever been to. Thanks Tom. I'll have pictures and videos up tomorrow or wedsnday along with my full review of my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
