intervention Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 woo got home from the long coldplay weekend earlier today! hartford was sick. got in friday night rested up , ate a gross dinner at hot tomatos downtown (we dont recommend) , and got to the venue around 10am sat morn. saw no one was there and were told the lot didnt open til 530 so we went back to the hotel and came back around 1. they then told us the "vip" lot opened at 3 so we just stayed at the venue waiting. while waiting the wind blew a huge confetti-filled "yellow" balloon out of the stadium and we snagged it! wooo! the time waiting went by quickly and soon they were on stage and it rocked our world of course. still cant get over it. is there anything better?! it was over way too quick. got a setlist after the show! our friend we made in line next to us was lucky enough to get one of the drumsticks. sweet here are some of our pics from that night... also we went to hershey last night and were front row again but i must say the atmosphere was nothing, nothing compared to the energy in the pit sat night. hartford was the greatest night ever!! thank you coldplay for making my life awesome.. cannot wait for our next show!

Christa42 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 ok where was I? so the venue was great, our positioning was perfect and of course we were the last to leave getting handfuls of butterflies, the security there was very nice and and kindly asked us to move it out of the building. and that's when we saw Jackie again. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Sarah got a balloon and we went out to the parking lot to do some tailgating, we popped open a few drinks and ate the butterfly cupcakes I got for Erica's Bday (which i l forgot to take a pic of dammit.) i put the live 2003 cd in and cranked up the sound with all the doors open and started dancing to One I Love. it was a wonderful evening and so glad i got to be with my buds and to have Pris there made it so special. the drive home was hell but worth every minute and now about this Jones beach gig hmmmmmmmmmmmmm............ that would be heaven but dont want to be greeedy more pics to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kspillers2 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Thank you for the birthday wishes. This is the first part of my recap of the day, it's not very brief. I got to Christa's house around 1130am and thus began this excellent Coldplay adventure. I met Christa, Steph, and Noelia for the first time. We figured out how to update her Twitter profile while we waited for Pris and Sarah. Yes, Christa literally jumped into the street when she saw them coming. The drive up was nice, hit a little bit of traffic but time flies when you are with good company and music. We got to the entrance to the parking lot around 250pm and had to wait 10 mins before they let us in. So we were the first to get inside, but I did notice the "drunk girls' butterflies & Coldplay emblazoned SUV near the entrance. So Christa parked the car and then we proceeded to figure out what was going on and the bathroom situation. So obviously we went to the line and cold_love23 and her sister introduced themselves to our group. And we also met Chelsea after we didn't know where the McDonald's was. We spent the time on the line eating, chatting, drinking, and we made 2 small posters with Christa's big bag of art supplies. Christa brought beautiful butterfly cookies for us too. As it got closer to gate opening time(6:30pm), everyone got antsy and looked ready to bolt. The ticket lady hesitated with the ticket scanner and slowed me down for a few seconds. I freaking sprinted like I was in the 100M race. The scene looked like the running of the bulls w/o the bulls, the obstacles were Hooters girls. I also think someone ran in my path, luckily no one fell down as the flooring was a little slippery. It got fairly heated once we got to the entrance to the GA area since it was so unorganized. People got loud with each other. Two women got way not cool, very unbecoming of a CP concert. Once they finally figured out what to do, they let us go in single file and it was another dash. We all ran to the center towards Guy's side and had to stay there until the end of the show. Howling Bells were a good opening act, they were complimentary to CP. I thought the bassist? with the facial hair was a hottie, the lead singer is very pretty lady. Pete Yorn & Co were great too and he covered one of my favorite songs of all time, New Order's Bizarre Love Triangle. I don't know if I was one of the only people singing along to that. I just got to the reviews/pics part of this thread and it sounds like you girls had such a fantastic time! I love it when coldplaying.com brings a bunch of crazy-go-nuts fans together! Yalls pics and signs were great too. I was feeling a little old when none of the 18-24 crowd around me in the pit recognized the New Order song in Atlanta,( but I have to admit it was the only song of his I enjoyed) eek! Howling Bells was pretty fab though. Did anyone else at other venues enjoy their set as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpow17 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I was there in Hartford, CT and during their "i'm a believer' cover, chris was playing some type of colored, mini-piano thing that made a whistle sound. What the heck was it??? it was amazing and i wanna know what instrument it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohmystarisfading Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 ^ it's a custom-made keyboard made by one of the roadies I believe. I'll try to find the R# 42 article Edit: here we go - Keyboard tech Neill Lambert has come up with a wonderfully bonkers invention to replace the Casio keyboard they were using for I'm A Believer also a vid of it being used in R#42's blog here: http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=343&page=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soxfan1023 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 this show was absolutely amazing, I was in the front row of the pit, it was so awesome. i actually have a question for everyone here. At the end of yellow, I hit a ballon at chris martin. i was wondering if anyone could find a video of that. I found one, but yo an't see anything as the quality is bad. Thank you in advance for any help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
