What a night!!

 

Wow! What a great concert and evening!! I'm exhausted and still on cloud 9 all at the same time. It's tough to get back home (near the Woodlands) at 12:30am and have to get up with my daughter to get her ready for school at 6:05am!! Yikes, but WELL worth it!!!

 

Any chance any of you guys saw me frantically waving my sign in Section B last night??? :laugh3:I tried to be really polite about when I put it up so I didn't block others view behind me. However, I had it up after Clocks (i think) and was jumping up and down with it and Chris actually looked right at me and said....

"We hope you have a good time tonight and KEEP WAVING THOSE BANNERS!!" I could have died right then and there! That made it worth lugging that thing around all night even if they didn't play Moses as my sign asked them to! :rolleyes:

 

I wish I had been able to meet Angie or Pris, but I never got over to their section. Maybe next time!

 

Well, back to reality and the countdown to the EP release next week.

Wish I could be in Dallas for the show tonight, too....

Concert Review: Coldplay at Toyota Center

 

Before last night, Houstonist may have told you, "Eh...they're OK live, but we haven't been blown away" if you'd asked whether or not you should go see the show. But, that was before last night. Although we weren't blown away (think David Bowie at The Woodlands in 2006), we gained a much better appreciation for Coldplay as live entertainers.

 

The crowd was immediately engaged as the band took the stage playing Life in Technicolor. The energy continued to mount sending a tingle through the arena as Clocks followed shortly after. The music may be a bit mellow at times, but frontman Chris Martin could energize a rock with his dancing and flailing around the stage.

 

Martin and guitarist Jonny Buckland mugged for the photographers on the stage right set extension early in the show. Later, the pair were joined by drummer Will Champion and bassist Guy Berryman on the stage left extension for God Put a Smile on Your Face that evoked images of the group playing Rock Band as Champion banged an electronic drum kit and Martin played a small upright piano with Buckland and Berryman crammed in between like teenagers trying to fit between the TV, coffee table and recliner.

 

The highlight performance of the show was Lovers in Japan. The energetic piano riffs and snare propelled the crowd as Japanese imagery filled the screen. Brightly colored paper butterflies fluttered by the audience in the floor seats.

 

Coldplay concluded the hour forty five minute show with a one song encore - Yellow. We left the building with our ears ringing and the chorus to Viva La Vida playing on a loop through our head.

HOLY CRAP! even the Coldplay CREW have Coldplay Karma!!

I had once told Christa, jokingly, that I registered the term Coldplay Karma. 'cause I added the ®. But now I'm thinking I should do it for real, 'cause I'd be making a ton of money!!! Or would it be a ©?? Just from the times it's used around here I could quit my job :lol:
