Violet Hill

Clocks

Yellow

Cemeteries of London

Fix You

God Put A Smile Upon Your Face

Talk

The Hardest Part

Viva La Vida

Strawberry Swing

Lost!

Um...I'm not too good at writing reviews. Actually I'm no good :lol: but I'll try my best.

So our seats were at section 110, a little far off to the side, but still pretty close. The opening acts (Kitty, Daisy, & Lewis and Amadou & Mariam) had very fun and energetic music, it just made you want to get up and dance! :D

So after 2-3 hours of the opening acts, a lot of people around me started to get sick of them...:P

What was really funny and cheered everyone up was one of the roadies/staff (I was a little far away, couldn't tell!) started sweeping the runway and dancing to the background music. Then he dropped his mop-thing :P and started breakdancing! It was hilarious. He was getting down on the floor and spinning and he even started doing the worm. :lol: It really put a smile on everyone's face.

Then around 9PM Coldplay got on stage and swung around sparklers into the night sky. I think we all know that they did an amazing performance. Coldplay even went to the very back of the stadium and Will got to perform his song and they covered 'Billie Jean' and instructed everyone to do the 'Coldwave'. :)

The lights and effects were amazing, and the crowd was great. Definetly an unforgettable night.

 

I'll try to post some pics and videos when I can. Thank you Coldplay!

After having some fun late-night adventures in Carson attempting to find 405-Northbound, I'm back home from the concert. I'll keep it short since I'm quite tired, but this was such an unbelievable experience. Once again when I see Coldplay, it feels so surreal to me since I can't believe my favorite band is right there. The majority of the folks in my area hardly sang or danced, but that didn't stop me from having a total blast and being a glowstick-raving loon that distracted everyone. Chris's remarks were funny as always, and they even sang a small ditty on the C-stage about LA. At the previous concert, I made the mistake of not filling my bag to the brim with paper butterflies, but fortunately, I did not make that mistake again. Also, what remains of my voice gives thanks to the few fellow Coldplayers who gave me a shout-out for the sign! Many kudos, boys. It may not be until the LP5 tour that I see you again, but the memories will shine brightly.

 

More tomorrow. I need some shut-eye desperately.

here is my review. well i attempted to tweet. but it got delayed in the venue. got into the venue at 6:30pm. walked around a bit. and i guess i had a bit of coldplay karma the other oxfam coordinator bob saw my shirt and said nice shirt. fyi it was a MTF shirt. many ppl took pics with us because of our awesome jackets "i love diehard fans" as one woman said. sang the whole time! and i mean the whole time. i wasted more energy at today's show and i wasn't even front row lol! coldwave was awesome. i recorded most of the scientist and lovers in japan. no luck at getting a setlist for today's show. tomorrow will be great.

Just got back! Awesome show tonight! :D I can't believe that I finally heard Green Eyes live! :o I sort of still can't believe it! :lol: The boys sounded great as always! ;) I hope someone got video of Chris's song when he was improvising in the stands! That was soooo awesome! :D I sang my heart out tonight as who knows when Coldplay will come back to Cali so I can see them again! :D I would write more but I'm tired! So tired! :( Yet still on a Coldplay high from the concert! :lol:
