There wasn't anything that incredibly different about this show from the previous ones. Chris made some Vegas references. Said Lost! wasn't supposed to be gambling advice. Sang Green Eyes better than the album, I thought. Wonderful performance that. Viva La Vida was way better live than I was lead to believe on television. Uhm, the Bill O'Reilly thing was funny. Guy was on the casino floor taking pictures during the day. No one really seems to notice him all that much. Chinese Sleep Chant was pretty cool with the lasers and stuff.

 

What I was most impressed with was that they were able to fire up a (mostly) Vegas crowd. Crowds here are usually pretty shit.

shoot, you guys got Green Eyes. we got the Hardest Part last night!

I know, I wish we got Green Eyes instead of the Hardest Part. :\

I think the other person you can hear singing is whoever was recording the video, singing along. :P

 

haha i wish but if u listen closely it chris

^^ but it was an amazing show right?

 

Oh yeah, definitely. I'm just tired. It was 117 here today and I was out on the strip for most of it. I think Will's drums sounded better when I saw them back in Dallas during the X&Y tour, but I'm just nitpicking. Oh, how has no one mentioned Guy's robot vocoder voice during Chinese Sleep Chant? That was awesome.

I swear, if any of the next cities get Warning Sign... I will not be pleased. LOL

:laugh3: I totally agree, though. I'll be freaking mad. :veryangry:

OMG, ditto. I will be very very very very jealous if the next city were to get that! But hearing Green Eyes was so lovely.

 

I think the crowd at this show was better than the Forum show I went to (the one on the 15th). I was on the floor this time around, and kinda further back but the crowd seemed like they were really into everything, including the new stuff too. The crowd singing "whoooa ohhhh ohhh ohhh" after Viva La Vida was done was awesome to hear and be a part of.

 

I hope I don't have to wait too long to see the band again! I saw that Anaheim date on that tour t-shirt and I'm so curious about when that's supposed to be.

solarboy......... guys what?

 

During Chinese Sleep Chant, Chris sings, obviously. At certain points Guy does as well. Guy's voice is processed through what sounds like a vocoder to make it sound more robotic. It sounds fantastic. It was just a real subtle but brillant addition. That whole song impressed me, actually.

Coldplay is kicking a** in Vegas

The crowd at the Forum on the first night was alot better than San Jose- for me anyway. The level of energy was much higher in Los Angeles.

 

There was this one couple in particular who sat behind us and they just didn't want to be there. He even grabbed my sister's arm after complaining about her taking pictures with her camera phone (apparently it blocked his view). Those people really wasted good floor seats... Give it to the real fans who'll enjoy it....

I would say it was a 6.5 out of 10. The band seem very tired and Chris seems more angsty.

Only a 6.5? Wow. :thinking:

 

And of course the band was tired... they've been up late and playing nonstop for the past week. Especially Chris... I feel bad for him, with all the jumping around and intense piano playing he's been doing, I'm not sure how he can do it for like, 4 more months. :(

Hehe, that's awesome. :) He did a similar thing on Friday with us... but it was in Lost! and of course, he said "San Jose", not Las Vegas. :wacko:

i love when he dances but i think he should slow it down abit so that hes voice sounds better
