In a telescope lens Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Still no change in the setlist :disappointed: but seems like a GREAT show otherwise :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Good morning Coldplayers! Last nights show was really fine. Twitter just sucked though. Everyone I asked up in the front of the pit was having a bitch of a time getting anything phone related to work at all. Very frustrating. As for the show ...the setlist was indeed virtually the same- but Glass of Water sounded great. In fact the sound in general was really, really good. Chris's voice in fine form and good volume from the rest on harmonies. People went nuts for 'Georgia On My Mind' and it was really well sung. I thought Chris seemed a little more 'in the moment' than some shows that have seemed like autopilot performances ... (Very chatty, a good bit of giggling, lots of grinning at Jonny, and LOTS of thanking the audience for coming out on such a rainy night.)...so I really enjoyed this one. ....and holy shit the rain. They came on and the skies opened up and it just poured for most of the show....& got cold. I was so proud of the crowd because they gave a ton of energy in the seats and lawn as well. At least it seemed that way from the pit. I was a little worried that the boys might be a little road weary or uninspired but I think they really were focusedand having a good time. Finally, on a personal note Chris grabbed my banner and propped it up on the piano..yay! I'll post some inevitably mediocre pics / video shortly and in the meantime already excited for everyone going to the next show...I think y'all are going to have a great one. :dance: Weeee. Thanks Kelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimixxx Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Really great show tonight. Had tons of fun right in the front of the pit. Georgia On My Mind during the B stage set was really nice. I got a lot of great pics which I'll post probably tomorrow, right now i'm exhausted. B-stage or C-stage? After/instead of which song?

gmalool Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 The show was amazing. My girlfriend and I were front row in the PIT next to kspiller i believe. We were actually in the long line prior to the concert when some representative from BestBuy was going down the line asking if anybody was a best buy reward zone member, luckily I had signed up for the that before the last Atlanta concerts so we got upgraded to VIP entrance! We were one of the first people in the whole ampitheater! We got right in front of jonny which is where i wanted to be. The setlist was similar, but i enjoyed it nevertheless!!:D It was the best Coldplay concert I have ever been too! It twas truely amazing. My girlfriend will put up all of her pics/videos when we get home. We managed to get a setlist, but neither of us came across any copies of LRLRL! Whatever. Stay tuned for some amazing shots of the band! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librahi Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 i haven't read many of the reviews yet, but i'll post a brief one now and longer one later. the show was brilliant in my eyes. the set was very similar to the last time in atlanta but the guys were in top notch form and being 10 feet from the stage sure does help. here it goes: getting into the show: drove in the pouring rain for 2 hours and it finally slowed to a drizzle by the time we parked. paid $20 to park and walked through the free parking lot on the way to the show (LOL). turns out we got out really fast after, well worth the $20. then came the chore of selling the tickets. my god, this was a royal pain in the ass. i had three extra tickets, all covered seats, and no one would buy them. i finally found two people who did not have seats and wanted to buy them. the guy wanted to pay me $60 each. face value was $97.50, more like $135 with fees. i told him $75 each and i'd do it. his gf or wife actually asked if i would take $200 total for 2. uh, sure? the guy looked as confused as me but she paid it and i walked away. so then i was about to give away my third after ruining my shoes in the mud and getting all wet from the drizzle. i was walking back in and some guy wanted a lawn ticket. i asked him how much he would pay for a lawn ticket. he said $40, so i sold it to him. $240 after an hour of trying to sell covered seats, IN THE RAIN! i lost $160 on the deal and was pissed, but oh well. i have 4 extra sets of 2 for charlotte. my god, i'm going to get killed on the losses. show: sorry, had to vent about that. we missed the howling bells due to the above issues. pete yorn was very good but i couldn't understand him at all from the pit. the pit was unreal, so close, so NOT crowded. i turned around quite a few times to see just how lucky i was to have those seats. well worth any money paid in my mind. i honestly felt like i was in a club with 200 people watching the show, it was just an amazing experience. the setlist was similar to the past shows, but it didn't bother me too much. glass of water was awesome. i did notice that chris didn't have the extended "arms" on the stage which i really like, but it kept him closer to us :). his voice was really nice too, he was on for sure. i won't do a song by song, but mention a few things i thought were worth it... the balls during yellow were killer. i caught one and flung it up on stage and chris kicked it out into the crowd again, i felt cool :). that guy is my hero... lovers in japan was freaking great. the butterflies above were great once again. i looked up when they came down and spread my arms and felt like i was dreaming. i compare it to andy dufrain on the shawshank redemption when he crawls out the sewer pipe in the rain. great moment, great movie too... :) let's see, what else... georgia on my mind was cool, but so many people do that when they play in atlanta. put swallowed in the sea in it's place..... hardest part on piano was great, i'm a believer was neat also, did some great interaction with the band members which was funny as hell. all the other songs were great as usual. getting tired of the b stage techno songs, but still cool to see them. can't believe they went into the rain on the c stage, pretty crazy. that's about it guys... after the show: we left the pit right when it ended to get on the road for a long drive home. contrary to greeneyes statement, there were two big gates on the sides to exit where you could leave and not wait in line to get the cd. we were out and got a cd each, it's good. some of the things he does on the cd were pretty much exactly the same as he did in the show, which makes me think he doesn't improv too much, just does the same things at each show since they get a good reaction. no big deal, like a comic doing the same acts over and over, you only have so much material. the cd is good though and we made it home safely. work is a drag today but at least i can type this and try to post pictures. as soon as someone tells me how to, i have a few.... turns out this was the long one, nothing brief about it! later.

thrashsoul Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Man I can't believe you paid 20 dollars for parking, the free parking was extremely fast getting out. The set list was good, I especially like how they do scientist on stage and not acoustic anymore. I personally hate Lakewood though, acoustics were horrible compared to Phillips Arena in November, the vibe was better there too. Of course it was 60 and rainy out. Whoever said about the weather, Atlanta weather is amazing, just extremely bad luck, its been beautiful out for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
