mrman78 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 They were so lucky to get such nice weather up there for yesterday's and today's shows. I swear, when the weather is nice, there is no where else on Earth I'd rather be than the Pacific Northwest... just breathtaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcin Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 They were so lucky to get such nice weather up there for yesterday's and today's shows. I swear, when the weather is nice, there is no where else on Earth I'd rather be than the Pacific Northwest... just breathtaking. Here here! Only Coldplay can make a location as beautiful as the Gorge even more gorgeous:). And i can tell they have officially left the Pacific Northwest. It is now cloudy, cold and rainy, and for the two days they graced us with their presence, it was beautiful, warm and sunny:sunny: Same setlist as yesterday, but where I was seated I spotted a few famous backstage players, Franksy, Hoppy, Jackie, of course Kelly, the girl from Oxfam Soha Yassine, Vicky Taylor and Dan the Trainer, oh is that man gorgeous! The place was PACKED! I have never seen this many people before in my life, i was blown away. This pic is just ONE section, multiply this by FIVE! Chris agreed as well, at the beginning of In My Place he said, "That's a lot of people!":D Again, great crowd, everyone dancing and singing along, even the Event Staff:stunned:. This getting old I know, but the boys ran past me again, but no touchy this time, except i tried when Chris ran back to start VLV, but he zipped past by everyone, that boy should try out for the Olympics. During Yellow, Chris mentioned something about an early birthday gift for Will, and embarrassed the hell out of him. Will had the cutest smile up on the jumbotron. I thought I was recording it, but didn't:bigcry: Poor Guy looked emaciated to me, I hope I'm just over reacting, but I'm getting kind of concerned, did anyone else notice? :\ It's very windy at the Gorge and the Viva curtain that drops during DAAHF started blowing in the wind instead of just hanging, the boys got a big kick out if and they were all laughing:laugh3: I drove over 250 miles for over 4.5 hours, got blisters on my feet from walking over an hour in the grassy parking lot looking for my car, my muscles and joints are stiff from SLEEPING in my car, because I was too exhausted to drive back 4.5 hours. But you know what? I'd do it all again in a heartbeat just to see them again.:smug: Life in Technicolor [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDPb368hYI4]YouTube - Coldplay live Life in Technicolor George, WA 07/11/09[/ame] In My Place [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYJI6DUSut8]YouTube - Coldplay live In My Place George, WA 07/11/09[/ame] more vids coming soon, youtube is constipated at the mo':dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceana Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Howdy gang ^^ I was there too last night, took a bunch of videos and pictures, but I haven't loaded them yet or seen if any of them are good (had reserved seats, but was pretty far back and my camera isn't that great :P). But, I'll look through them and post what is worthy! But it's worth noting chris said the Gorge was the most beautiful outdoor amphitheater in the world, and maybe he says that often, but I have to agree. Everyone needs to see a show here!

Mimixxx Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Concert review | Coldplay leaves fans walking on air THE GORGE, Grant County — Most bands wouldn't show much enthusiasm 130 shows into a worldwide tour that started over a year ago. They wouldn't be pleased to sweat through long-sleeved shirts and jackets while playing an evening show in desert-like temperatures. And they wouldn't make it seem novel and fun. But most bands aren't Coldplay. The Brit rock superstars pulled out all the stops Saturday night for a sold-out crowd of 24,000 fans at the Gorge Amphitheatre in Eastern Washington. Led by the adorably endearing Chris Martin, who was decked out in patchwork military-esque jackets throughout the night, the band mostly treated fans to tunes from the 2008 release "Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends." Martin is a treat to watch, not only because he is a gifted musician, but also because he appears genuinely fresh-faced and awed by the power of song. Two screens on either side of the stage showed close ups of the lead singer and three bandmates (Jonny Buckland, guitar, Guy Berryman, bass, and Will Champion on drums) throughout the night. The quick cutaways that offered glimpses of each musician during a song added to the upbeat energy of the evening. "Viva" was the top-selling album of 2008, and it the live show made it easy to see and hear all that is appealing about this album. Coldplay kicked off the night with "Life in Technicolor," a catchy instrumental track. Other highlights from "Viva" include the title track, "Lost?" and "Lovers in Japan," with a tack piano intro that is both hard-charging and playful. Five large sphere-shaped screens hung from the ceiling of the stage, displaying live feeds of the band or multicolored words, paint splotches or just cool colors. The spheres turned yellow for, of course, the big hit "Yellow," during which audience members got to bat yellow balloons around, too. Martin and mates played tribute to Michael Jackson with an acoustic "Billie Jean," and fans also got to hear favorites "Clocks" and "Fix You," a sweet ballad with a rock anthem-y ending. In a nod to the band's diverse interests, opening acts had included a rockabilly troupe and Amadou & Mariam, a blind musical duo from Mali. A roadie also performed some break-dancing moves and the Blue Danube Waltz rang through the Gorge right before the band took the stage. Coldplay closed out the night with "Life in Technicolor ii," and as Chris Martin sang, "now my feet won't touch the ground," it seemed fitting. Coldplay fans would, after all, be leaving the amphitheater that night with the same sort of feeling. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/musicnightlife/2009458697_coldplay13.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
