May 16, 200917 yr :cry:So...no What If after all, `eh? damn. @ CHAD IN GRESHAM OREGON......PDX GIRL HERE ! SAY HI TO HOME FOR ME!:DHey! Definitely will! Good to see some PDX people. Don't seem to have that much around here. :\ Anyways, yeah shame that What If wasn't played. But, overall seems like a longer setlist than usual. They just need to play a tiny bit more X&Y and Parachutes material, and it'll be perfect. One song (and not even the best from that album) on Parachutes being played isn't enough. But, I guess I see why they don't play stuff from it anymore.

May 16, 200917 yr About the same setlist.But Im guessing they want to get back into the swing of things and starting this leg of the tour off with an order they are comfortable with.Im sure we will see changes in the near future. That's exactly what I was thinking as well ... :) Give them a little time! They need to get into routine again and will probably try new things out pretty soon :)

May 16, 200917 yr (Holy stinking crap, it is 6 in the morning. I drove 2.5 hours to get home, was intially super tired, but now I'm in reflection mode...) South Florida at the start of the summer is hot. And humid too. So there's no doubt that you're going to sweat, but even with the most uncomfortable of heats (hot, sunny and humid) tonight's Coldplay gig was amazing. The set seemed longer and there were songs Florida didn't get to hear live during last year's tour. Maybe it's because it's the first date of a tour, and they're fresh and energized because the tour isn't a routine yet. Maybe it's because they love Florida. But they were all so giddy, especially Chris! The "Violet Hill" ending got a Florida twist from Chris, who actually sung: "...If you're attending the first night of the last leg of the VLV tour in Florida...and if you're prepared to have an extremely good night on that Friday evening in Florida...and if you wanna make a loud nooooise... won't you let me know." That got the crowd going right away, although I did notice the front was a little inactive. This venue had some seats near the front (slightly before the pit) that were actually bar tables, complete with a wait staff. I thought this was a rock show, not a night at the jazz club? That crowd was kind of boring, and I wish they'd been more excited. Same with some people around me. During "42" Chris was playing dead/pyscho eyes while on the piano, and I wondered if that was a shout-out to the posh crowd who were too cool to sing or move. He did it for a while though, and it was the most quirkiest I've ever seen him, doing those crazy eyes like he had just seen a ghost or something. In section 6, a few of us were very excited, even if some people behind were sitting, talking or texting. Our singing just drowned it out ;) I did notice that the aisle near section 6 turned into a mini-nightclub during the "God Put a Smile.."/"Talk" mix from the second stage. People not only wanted to see the band, but lots of them just started breaking it down because the music was so good. Jonny's whammy bar action is the best thing about that mix. I could write a thesis about how awesome that effect is! As he began "Postcards..," Chris messed up, and he didn't let it go. He said something along the lines of "Hold on, let's try that again. You can a get a 50 cent refund off your ticket." He started over and played it perfectly. His face looks so focused when he plays this, even with the sweat dripping off of it every few seconds. During the show, Chris talked a lot. It's what he does. Some of what he said: -He's not liking his hairstyle at the moment: "What looks good at your house on a Thursday, doesn't look so good on a Friday in West Palm Beach." -He wanted the West Palm crowd to audition for next's year's American Idol, and maybe do a better job than Susan Boyle (whose name he actually couldn't remember, so just laughed out loud) -Also, if you showed up hoping to see TheBeeGees, you're out of luck. "That's tomorrow, and you have the wrong night, and you're gonna be dissapointed. It's only my job to warn you. If you came to see Coldplay, you're in the right place." Then they kicked into "Yellow," with the big balloons and all. For the third stage, the band made its way to the lawn, which was ten times better than the move to the high seats during last year's tour. It was just so much more grander here. They said no act has ever gone and played up there. Lots of people in section 6 stood up on their chairs to see the set, and a lady next to me was in tears when she saw the band go up there. It was like she couldn't believe such a big band would even bother going up there. I was like ,"Oh yes ma'am, they love EVERYONE." While at the lawn, Chris started a "Mexican" cell-phone wave (I think that's what he called it). He told everyone in the venue to do the wave with their cell phones. He made us do it about three times ("Well that was shit, we gotta do that again"). Chris said the Mexican cell-phone wave had never been attempted before, unless Joe Satriani had already done it!! Sense of humor: intact and perfect. The lawn set had "Green Eyes," too, the first time I've heard it live! The band also covered "I'm a Believer" during the lawn set, and Chris went on a super love-fest. Normally, after "am I in love," the lyric is "ooooh, I'm a believer," but Chris stopped it several times to ask "Are you in love:" -Will, strange (?) looking, but nevertheless drummer of Coldplay? -Guy, the one who sells all our posters? -Johnny, who would never sing in front of anyone much less 16,000 people? -Really good looking people in front of us? And all the way where the Viva ballon is? Toward the end, "Politik" had a lyric change to get the crowd going crazy. "Give me heart and give me soul...Give me love give us a kiss, give me a great, big Floridian scream just like this...open up your eyes.." After the show officially ended, people made a dash for the new album. This probably got way more dangerous than it should have, bless those volunteers who had to endure crazy people fighting for CD's. If you want one, just be gentle, don't bumrush the person with the box full of CD's :) This was my fourth time seeing Coldplay, and I've said this before about my other times- but it was my favorite. I don't know, though. I also volunteered for Oxfam tonight, and it was beyond fun to do that too. All I can think about is how great tonight was, and how August's closing show needs to be here right now. I loved it all. I hope all the fans who go this tour are just as amazed.
