~Melissa~ Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I am still getting over the high from last night. I swear I had butterflies in my stomach right before the concert started. You would think I was going to perform with my anxiety. We played some roulette right before the concert started and some of the crew were playing at the same table. Some of the guys were hott! Everyone around the casino was talking about the band and the casino played their music all night. I didn't really care for the opening bands much. Right before Coldplay came out I saw Deryck from Sum 41 walking around the arena floor looking for where his seats were going to be. I didn't realize who he was until Coldplay came on and I saw him with Avril. Avril was trying to be incognito with a black hoodie on....they are both soooooo skinny and little. Avril looked bored during the gig but Deryck was into it a little while he wasn't on his phone. The entire venue was booked and the crowd around me were ok but didn't really know all the new songs. Life In Technicolor (intro)-I think its a fabulous opener and really got the crowd going but to me their is nothing like politik as an opener. Violet Hill-This song isn't one of my faves from the album and their are soooo many lyrics but I still loved it live. Clocks-Amazing In My Place-Chris was singing this right in front of us and this girl on the arena floor wasn't looking at him so he reached down and touched her hair. Viva La Vida-I honestly think Chris has never sounded better on this track. I had goosebumps from the opening lyrics. The crowd was really into and continued to sing even after it was over. Yes-My fav song off the album and it sounded amazing live. 42-My other fav off the album. The Scientist-This song was amazing and everyone sang along. Strawberry Swing-A lot of people didn't know this one but it sounded soooo great live and Chris was really into it and I can tell he loves this song. Chinese Sleep Chant-It was great to hear Guy! God Put A Smile Upon Your Face-At first I didn't know what song it was but when I realized it I was stunned. This song has always been amazing to me and it sounds like a totally different song no. Speed Of Sound-great Yellow-Chris always reminds us that this song made them famous. Lost!-loved it Green Eyes-Chris sang it with such a beautiful softness and it was funny because when they were trying to all get together and play this old lady was right next to them and it looked she didn't want to move. Death Will Never Conquer-Chris said will had a voice like an angel and talked about the Killers being so great. ----- Politik-Chris was banging the hell out of the piano and his voice was amazing. He incorporated Avrils name and Derycks into the lyrics. Lovers In Japan-loved every minute of it Fix You-This song has sentimental value for me and always makes me cry like a baby. --- Death And All His Friends-amazing The Escapist (outro)-amazing This being the ninth time I have seem them live I am always shocked with how much they always surprise me. The first time I saw them back in 2000 or 2001 doesn't even compare to where they are now. I love the band and where they are taking their music but I think that the setlist should be longer and they need to play more b-sides. Chris dances around a lot and sometimes I think he looks insane. Something was wrong with the beginnings of th first three or four songs I think. They only played one song from the first album? and one song from x and y? Of course I want to hear the new songs but really I feel that the fans want to hear a lot of the old ones. I would love to hear Shiver, Spies, Life is for living, Amsterdam, What if, White Shadows, Warning sign, We Never change, and all the b-sides. I loved the butterflies during the gig and I look forward to seeing them again in November in Dallas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasluvsjonny Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I leave Tuesday morning for Chicago and I'm so excited. Usually when I see back to back shows I always get the same set list but I now have hope for at least a couple of different songs. :D I will see you in Dallas. Hey Mel don't know if you remember the girl that was sitting with us in line for the Dallas Smirnoff show, the one from Tyler, her name is Shannon. She sent me an email, saw me in the crowd on the Today Show and was freaking out. She's gonna be at Dallas and Houston shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
