August 8, 200916 yr Holy cow. I mean... holy cow. I want to do this all over again tomorrow. My goodness, was this EVER worth the six-month wait. An absolute blast. I won't bother posting my few pictures/videos since you guys in the pit got incredible stuff, but I will say that I was pleased with where I was (for not being in the pit, I had pretty decent seats)... minus the annoying event staff constantly telling us to stay close to our seats. No problem, though... me and my friend still went insane like we wanted to. And I ended up getting a buttload of butterfly confetti like I wanted... it's sitting in a plastic bag right now, safely packaged to avoid harm. This was just so freaking awesome... I love this band! What a night... what a night.

August 8, 200916 yr Woah ... thanks so much for these fantastic pics (of course also from the other bandmembers :wink3: ), esp. the first one :heart: . You can see his long eye lashes there :) Seems like Guy's hair is growing again. Hopefully he won't have it cut again :(
August 8, 200916 yr Holy cow. I mean... holy cow. I want to do this all over again tomorrow. Those are my exact thoughts !!! Hey guys - Well, tonight was the first time I have seen Coldplay live, and I must admit that I was blown away!! Great show!!! Damn!!! The crowd was large and loud, and it was amazing seeing Coldplay from 10 feet away! I had a great time with you guys down in the pit - gmalool, pguild, holycatfish87, lostinreverie. I think we had a block of about 9-10 people and did a pretty good job of controlling that area and raising hell in there!!! It is so much more enjoyable when the crowd is into the concert and everyone is so enthusiastic!!! I would love to do it again with you guys the next time Coldplay tours!! To the two chicks from Winston-Salem who were behind me - I'm glad you got to see "Clocks" from up front and thanks for the big hug!! :D Here are a couple of my pics from tonight: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v604/cheetah595/DSC04082.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v604/cheetah595/DSC04091.jpg I will try to post some more tomorrow and would love to see everyone else's pics as well. Great night!! Thanks! Thunder

August 8, 200916 yr Intense, polished show from Coldplay On the eve of the final performance of its current US Tour (which ends tomorrow in Tampa), Grammy winning Brits Coldplay gave an intense polished show at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre Friday. The Chris Martin-led band chose its opening acts well, using its headlining status to introduce fans to countrymen that they might not hear otherwise. Dressed in fabulous `50s style dresses, coiffed hair and suits, the young retro throwback Kitty, Daisy & Lewis (ages 17 to 22) touched on traditional ska, swing, and Hawaiian styles with the occasional help of terrific trumpeter Tan Tan Thornton. It was refreshing to watch the Londoners trade instruments and groove through a breathless extended harmonica solo and reworked versions of Bill Monroe’s “Blue Moon of Kentucky” and Canned Heat’s “Going Up the Country.” The second act, Elbow, seemed at home on the large stage. The group mixed electronic instruments, horns, strings and a charming emotive vocalist who faithfully followed fellow Manchester bands like the Smiths and Stone Roses as well as Peter Gabriel. It’s no surprise that Elbow plays similar size venues at home. The headliners took the stage around nine beginning with “Life in Technicolor,” which opens its latest album “Viva La Vida,” followed by “Viva’s” “Violet Hill.” Although it dipped into its back catalog, it played almost every song from that recent album. The foursome hammered out hits one after the other early in the set with the bouncy piano of 2002’s “Clocks” and the sing along anthem “In My Place” followed by its earliest hit “Yellow.” At first it looked as if Coldplay might take the economic route using sparklers instead of pyro, an upright custom painted piano instead of a baby grand, and a level stage instead of a tiered version. But the playful theatrics began to unfold during “Yellow” as huge confetti filled balloons dropped on the crowd. Projections spun and flashed on fives globes suspended above the stage putting a new spin (literally) on the practice of standard projection at concerts. Coldplay may be best known for heart tugging ballads and mid-tempo pop, but their live show transformed softer moments into booming rock songs that are more intense than on record. “Cemeteries of London” played like a modern version of a traditional folk story that swelled to a rhythmic conclusion. “Fix You” created a church-like atmosphere that built to a climax during which Martin twirled like a ragdoll and shuttered as if shot with bullets. And as on the “Viva La Vida” album, “42” morphs from delicate piano intro into a spastic rhythmic romp. The band members weren’t static either. At the end of “Strawberry Swing” they boarded a platform in the walkway between the pavilion’s front and back seats for “God Put a Smile on My Face.” Martin sat alone in the middle of the amphitheater for “Hardest Part” as drummer Will Champion echoed his vocals from the stage. Champion proved an indispensable sideman (the Richards to Martin’s Jagger) hitting his kit like a determined wind-up toy and singing along throughout the night. He pounded the tympani and bass drum as Martin sprinted back to join in on “Viva La Vida” and “Lost!” They abandoned the stage again for the edge of the lawn where mandolin, resonator guitar, and harmonica set the pace for an acoustic break that included Champion on vocals and guitar and a sincere cover of “Billie Jean.” The group took the stage again flashing stark white light on its audience for “Politik” and firing cannons of multi-colored butterfly confetti into the crowd. “Death and All His Friends,” which closes “Viva La Vida,” fittingly finished the set. Yet the massive hit “The Scientist” was saved for an encore. The triple bill made for an incredibly consistent show capped with Coldplay’s tireless headlining set. http://www.charlotteobserver.com
August 8, 200916 yr Your pics are truly amazing Denise ! Your camera kicks ass :D I agree, great pics!!! Good to hear they saw your flag and you had a nice time! :hug:
August 8, 200916 yr Question for everyone Hey everyone. I thought last night's show was AMAZING. One of the best I've seen them do. My brother and I have been following them for the past year going to 4 different shows, including last night and Raleigh. I wondered if anyone could tell me who or what someone in the band said about brothers either right before or right after green eyes. I wasn't paying attention apparently, or just couldnt hear it with everyone screaming around me at the C-Stage. So ya, if someone was there and remembers what he said about some brothers I'd really apreciate it. (or if you have an audio recording that'd be even better)
