Play list?

 

Without readin all 280+ previous postings, does anyone know if there is a playlist out there for the CWP show? :)

I am in hopes they will slip in a few different songs from past albums. In my opinion, 99% of all thier songs are great and since I've seen the current tour 2 times already, I'm hoping there will be something different added.

Like :

LOW

Proof

Shiver

spies

high speed

rush of blood

you get the idea.

This will be my 5th show to see this group and I'm already making plans to see number 6.......:D

Hi. This is my first post, so be nice :) I got lawn seats months ago b/c that's where I usually sit...just relaxing for me for the concerts I usually go to. BUT, after reading your posts and realizing that I want this experience to be ALL that I can get out of it, I think I want to upgrade my seats. I have found a few on different sites, but I know that some are better than others. If someone who knows the Woodlands would be so kind as to direct me as to which would be the best seats I would be SO very happy. This is my first Coldplay concert and I am practically peeing in my pants!

 

Section 102 EE aisle seats 1 and 2

 

Section 107 P

 

Section 102 C

 

I'll mention that money is not a big issue because these are a gift and the person buying them is in the doghouse and wants out, lol. I can't get totally outlandish, but I have some leeway. Thanks! (and thanks for answering a newbie if you do!)

 

edited to ask: what does VIP access to the club mean?

Hi and Welcome!! :)

Congrats on your first Coldplay concert and your decision to upgrade- you won't be disappointed!

 

It's been a while since I've been to a concert at the Woodlands, but just based on the options you have and looking at the seating chart, I think I personally would go for the Sec. 102 Row C tickets. That's VERY CLOSE and center. I don't remember how flat that bottom section is, so the only bad thing would be if you're short (like me), and if it's flat, it may be difficult to see. But other than that potential issue, those sound like great seats to me!

 

I think the VIP access to the club thing is just a lounge they have set up for those ticket holders... I think. don't quote me on it! ;)

 

EDIT: Now that I think about it, if you ARE short, the aisle seats may be better, just to give you the ability to move a bit into the aisle away from other heads :)

102 C is the best off that list. Center section, just behind the pit! VIP access to the club means you can go in through this bar and don't have to enter through the normal entrance gates and have to stand out in the heat with us peasants.

I had Section 102 Row EE aisle (the opposite side!) before they released new tickets and I upgraded to Section 102 Row H (two seats from right aisle) and sold the other. So I would go with any 102 over 107. The good thing about aisle is they will run by you on their way to the other stages. I'm hoping I can hop over the two next to me to get a high five!

 

So I'm guessing it will be B-Stage when they run up the 102-103 aisle, and C-Stage when they run up the 102-101 aisle?

They have been using the aisles on the far outside at all the shows I have been to.

I've never been to the Woodlands before..I know its outdoors though. Since I have a pit ticket, I really want to be in the front of the pit. What time should I get there. Like 3-4 hours before the show??

 

Probably really early. I've heard people getting there at noon and there are STILL 10 or so people already lined up :stunned:

 

For Dallas, I'm just going late, after the opening acts. It's just too hot. I don't need to be right up against the stage - plus too much body heat, ha. I'm planning on hanging out at the back in one corner, ha.

 

But if you are aiming for the front, be prepared to line up and wait in the sun!

Coldplay Rolls Into Town With A Grammy, Praise From Paul McCartney

 

Chris Martin is an extraordinarily talented and affable chap. Just don't ask the singer how Coldplay became the biggest band in the world.

 

“It makes my brain melt,” said Martin, who added that he really doesn't agree with the premise. Not to mention that a recent Bruce Springsteen concert blew him away and reminded him that pecking order is irrelevant.

 

“It really doesn't matter who's biggest today.”

 

OK, so maybe the Grammy-winning band didn't start out wanting to rule the world, but how does one handle it when it happens?

 

“I have a hard time believing it,” Martin said. “Maybe it's because I'm British or because I'm too religious. I feel lucky.”

 

But Martin's reasoning about why it happened is quite astute: “When Radiohead went less commercial.”

 

Coldplay, which makes a stop in The Woodlands on Wednesday, is known for epic-sounding albums and big hits Yellow, Clocks, The Hardest Part and Viva La Vida, as well as for Martin's marriage to Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow.

 

There was also that blip last year when rock guitarist Joe Satriani sued the band for copyright infringement, claiming that Viva La Vida was too close to his 2004 song If I Could Fly. Coldplay has denied the charge.

 

But Brian Eno's work on Viva La Vidaor Death and All His Friends — the Grammy's reigning album of the year — elevated an already award-winning band, which also includes guitarist Jon Buckland, drummer Will Champion and bassist Guy Berryman.

 

“It's like going back to school and tearing up all the rules,” Martin said. “He guides you down the path. He doesn't care about Yellow.”

 

Martin acknowledged Eno's ways took some getting used to.

 

“He doesn't treat you like you're famous,” he said.

 

On record, Coldplay is all about Martin's angelic voice, which he says he's kept in shape for the last 10 years with the help of “a funny lady in England named Mary.”

 

But onstage, the band brings “a spectacle,” he says, that depends on a huge crew.

 

“What worries me is that I don't know how to plug anything in anymore,” Martin says. “I'm powerless.”

 

But he'll take the entourage over the old days. “I can play piano at home any time,” he said.

 

One thing you can't do at home is getting to hang around with Jay-Z and Paul McCartney.

 

“Jay-Z is one of my musical heroes. He's a personal hero the way he conducts himself,” said Martin.

 

About their musical association: “It's part of my education.”

 

McCartney is another kettle of fish. The two crossed paths at the Grammy Awards, where Coldplay performed in colorful outfits reminiscent of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper-era uniforms.

 

“He's almost a saintly figure in England,” Martin said. “It's hard to not think of him as a mythical figure.”

 

He joked that Sir Paul is a little stingy when doling out praise.

 

“He'll give you a nod and doesn't leave,” Martin said. “He called us a ‘good little band.' ”

 

Hey, isn't that how McCartney describes the Beatles?

 

“Yeah, I know,” he said.

Nice report ^ ^ ^

Personally prefer if Coldplay would leave other artist out of their program- you can not better superiority, just let Coldplay do it's own thing. ;)

 

Does washing/waxing the Yukon today for Wednesday's trek count as being excited for this concert? :stunned:

 

Whatever, I'm knee deep in detergent and wax:\ and lovin it.:smug: The iPod is so loud I would make my grand daughter turn it down by 1/2 if it was hers !:lol:

 

Wednesday will be here in a blink

hope to c u all there. Look for me and my group of girls, I'll be the old man with a cane.......:P
