November 10, 200817 yr I guess third time's a charm with Coldplay and me! This was definitely my favorite of all the three times. Maybe because I was close, and the music was just louder and the atmosphere was just very excited. Also, the people next to me left the show after the acoustic set! Did they think the show was over?! You paid all that money, and then you leave halfway through the show? Did anyone else see people leaving after that? Highlights for me: -Chris changing the words to Politik (I love when he does that) and saying "15,000 Floridians on a Sunday night...Open up your eyes.." He said something before that, does anyone remember? He also said a few people in the crowd were up way past their bedtime! -I guess when they go up to the 'cheap' seats it really shocks everyone, because once again the biggest noise of the night came when they went up there. Chris said something like, "For all of those in the front, you can take a break from looking at us. For those of you back here...This is what we look like up close." Chris said "The Scientist" was written by Will after his football team ("that's soccer, by the way," Chris said) lost to Jonny's favorite football team. -Seeing this new version of "God Put A Smile..." up close! The runway stage wasn't too far from me, and man, Jonny really goes off on his whammy bar! Maybe 'cos I'm a guitar nerd, but it was so awesome to see his hands actually play the guitar and do that effect. You can't see that from the cheap seats. I've never wanted a Telecaster, but Jonny makes me want to go out and buy one, lol. -Chris just talking, talking, talking: During the start of the show he noticed a series of electronic Hooters advertisements that go around the arena, and I think he said he'd never seen so many Hooters signs in one place. He said that Coldplay doesn't endorse Hooters, because they're not the type of band that endorses Hooters. He said they WISH they were that kind of band, but they're not, lol. -When he was making his way up to the cheap sets, Chris said something like, "is it just me, or is every woman in Florida beautiful?" or something like that. Overall, one of my best weekends ever with Coldplay Friday and Sunday. Now I have to get back to work, but how am I supposed to get back to work after a Coldplay weekend? Someone help me! The Jonny sign looked great too, and your pictures are all so damn good! I have some video clips too, if you guys want me to put them up, I can. It looks like everyone who was there had a great time. The setlist stayed the same, so I guess those changes will be coming a little later. I was hoping, after reading Roadie #42's entry that it would be last night, but I guess not. (Sorry this was long. I just want to re-live it one more time!)

November 10, 200817 yr Coldplay's high energy show a hit with Sunrise fans It was obvious that Coldplay -- on tour in support of its enigmatic fourth album, Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends, would focus on its new material. What was unexpected was how dynamic the British band could make the show, and how well the more recent songs would mesh with the classics. Frontman Chris Martin -- equally charismatic sitting at the piano, strumming a guitar or roaming about with just a microphone -- has never been a wallflower. But the singer has truly evolved into a master showman. Sunday night at the sold-out BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Martin and the rest of the band -- lead guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion -- offered 90 minutes of pure emotion and adrenaline, mesmerizing and uniting the crowd with its shout-out-loud anthemic rock. Throughout the show, Martin was an unstoppable marvel of energy and precision. Over the first four songs, he jumped from playing guitar on Violet Hill, the first single from Viva La Vida, to rocking the piano on Clocks (and he literally rocked it, almost falling off his chair), to hopping around the stage's side catwalks on In My Place before returning to the piano for Speed of Sound. Wherever he wandered -- sometimes skipping, sometimes jerking around like a marionette, sometimes writhing on the floor -- Martin's voice rarely faltered or hit a sour note, whether howling Viva La Vida's chorus or finessing the tender falsetto of 42. The visuals were as impressive as the band. Two high-definition screens flashed a mash-up of video from the stage, and other images were projected from inside six giant floating balls that were suspended from above. Before the new Cemeteries of London, during which videos of the band's faces flashed on the floating balls, Martin looked up at the ads around the arena and cracked, ``Let me point out that we didn't pay for all those Hooters signs. Coldplay has nothing to do with Hooters, although we'd like to.'' All of Coldplay's albums were well-represented except for its first. The band waited till the one-song encore to play Yellow from 2000's Parachutes. Microphone feedback -- the one chink in an otherwise flawless performance, temporarily flustered Martin, but he recovered quickly. Highlights were abundant: Martin crooned the hymn-like Fix You while the crowd sang along bathed in soothing blue light. The new Strawberry Swing felt like a friendly, front-porch jam, with the line ''It's such a perfect day'' summing up the evening's mood. The forceful Politik and Lost! were even more powerful live. The band didn't confine itself to the stage, either. Coldplay set up on the right catwalk for a medley of God Put a Smile Upon Your Face, Talk and The Hardest Part, and later thrilled fans in the cheap seats (if you can call $97.50 cheap) by venturing up into the back corner for an acoustic, bluegrass-style performance of The Scientist, with Martin adding capable harmonica solos. No one seemed to mind that the concert was fairly short. As the crowd poured toward the exits, many sang Viva La Vida's ''Whoa-oh-ohh!'' at the top of their lungs in celebration. Like rowdy British football fans, only without the violence and vandalism. http://www.miamiherald.com/living/story/764888.html
