15-May-2009: Cruzan Amphitheatre, West Palm Beach, FL, USA


Recommended Posts

I wish I would of went Friday. I didn't have anybody to go with and I wasn't feeling good and I was thinking do I really want to drive to WPB? But, I should of just gone anyway. Please tell me it was a lousy concert...it rained the whole night, Chris Martin had laryngitis and looked awful, Will had his arm in a sling and could only play the drums with one hand, and the butterfly machine didn't work. It would make me feel better to know I didn't miss out on a good time.

 

Look at the videos I posted. Sorry, it was a great concert. Don't miss Tampa!

Cool pics. Can I steal the idea of getting a plastic sack to collect all the butterfly confetti? I'm going to the show in Portland, Oregon (Ridgefield, Washington technically) on July 10th, and I'll be pretty close up (102 section) and it should be RAINING butterflies. :D

We usually bring a big ziplock baggie to all the shows. :P

Oh my God, there were no words to describe it man. I almost passed out when I entered the pit and got that spot. :laugh1:

 

I really hope to be this close soon in their next tour for their next album. Honestly, a dream became true.

Thank you Ana for those pics of the new programme! :thumbsup:

 

I ordered one on coldplay.com a few days ago without even knowing what was in it. Glad to see it's very different to the 2008 version (the one sold at the 2009 Australian shows), my two programmes will go very well together.

Coldplay Kick Off New “Viva la Vida” Tour With Grand Gestures

 

28278988-28278993-slarge.jpg

 

Confetti paper butterflies. Giant yellow beach balls (dropped during “Yellow” — get it?). Super high-definition live video. Friday’s opening night of the last leg of Coldplay’s Viva La Vida tour in West Palm Beach was an Olympics-esque spectacle, complete with five orbs dangling over the band’s heads that served as screens for more state-of-the-art camera work.

 

Coldplay are playing big sheds for this summer stretch — about 16,000 fans filled the Cruzan Amphitheater — and, despite their sad songs, grand gestures suit them. The quartet, dressed in their Sgt. Pepperesque jackets, want nothing more than to please. That’s why they twice made excursions to small ancillary stages in the middle of the venue, to show their “respect for the lawn,” as Chris Martin said in one of his many shiny, hammy comments (someone hire him a script doctor). He then choreographed the audience to hold up their lighted cell phones and perform what he called “the first ever Mexican phone wave,” before leading the band into an acoustic cover of the Monkees’ “I’m a Believer.” Believe.

 

One doesn’t go to a Coldplay show expecting shock rock or even anything more mildly challenging than having to commiserate with Martin over his bad haircut. With Martin’s piano riffs and falsetto croon, the band stops just shy of being alt-rock’s answer to smooth jazz. Their music is almost unnervingly tight; Jon Buckland’s Edge-walking leads rang out in the kind of perfect stage mix you rarely get at shed shows. They played long — almost two hours — and they played well, hitting all the bright spots of their catalog (though changing the song selection little from their earlier U.S. leg). “The Scientist” has been moved to an encore position, Will Champion’s high-hat fillip creating just the right dramatic tension. The butterflies rained down during “Lovers in Japan.” Gwyneth Paltrow was standing center front (not out in the lawn), singing along with hubby Martin.

 

Given how eager Coldplay are to please, they made a serious misstep with the distribution of free CDs that they touted would be available after the show. A few people handed out woefully insufficient quantities of LeftRightLeftRightLeft at only one of Cruzan’s exits, causing Coldplay’s heretofore-happy, polite fans to get ugly. (A more raucous crowd would have rioted or at least trampled someone for good measure.) Presumably, the band will have this sorted out at future dates — or they’ll just decide everyone who cares will have downloaded LRLRL already and give up on the idea (which Martin claimed as the band’s own original concept, even though Prince did it years ago).

 

Pete Yorn played before Coldplay, performing angsty ballads from his recent CD Back and Fourth. While Coldplay are practiced entertainers who know how to play to every corner, Yorn and his five-piece band with their earnest, indie songs sounded dwarfed by the venue. It’s nothing that a million or so bucks in audio and video technology and a movie-star wife couldn’t cure.
