busybeeburns Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Alright. So that was pretty awesome huh?! I got to the United Center and got in at about 5 with Oxfam, and I heard Coldplay doing their soundcheck, and I wanted to run out to the stage and yell, "I love you," but that was against the rules. Oxfam was great, all the people were amazing. Oh and btw, I talked to someone on the tour with Coldplay and he said that Coldplay will stay in the city that tthey are playing in until like the night before the next show or something, so they won't leave chicago right after. I will put up my pics, we were row 1 for the GPASUYF and Sleep chant!was row 1 the tickets you had or the ones oxfam gave you? :stunned: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenjie Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 My question...do the band members play the violin parts on the actual record or did they hire someone else to do that? Who plays? Question for the Coldplay Oracle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK peeps, who has the butt grab shot? Fork it over now damnit! She was telling us about a section near where she's staying where men all go to hit on women. They call it the Viagra triangle. I forgot to ask her if that's where she saw Guy. :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolyn Marie Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Oh, the Viagra triangle. Ha! My best friend lives right around the block from there. It's a nice area with a lot of great restaurants, but it is really expensive. The joke amongst city residents is that the older men with money go down there to pick up on the young girls in the party scene...hence the term Viagra triangle.

ZapShazam Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 God, that concert sounds like it was AMAZING last night! I hope tonight's goes just as well! But I've got a question... can anyone tell me, and I don't mind if it's just a rough estimate, how far back the catwalks go? Where Jonny goes up to play the solo for In My Place, where Chris jumps around, those things. How far into the floor seats, I mean. I just want to have a nice visual of where I might be ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faith Akiyama Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 ^Here's one of my pre-show pictures for you to see and check: The other (Farther) ramp is the one with the stage. And yay for 1076 signatures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
