ok soo earlier today i went looking to find the boys. I circled the stadium and found what a thog=ught to be the perfect spot for them to enter. The venue was beautiful. It turns out though that there was no souncheck today for whatever reason.I talked to a coldplay crew guy and he said be back at around 630. After i met jaysmine who was also "on the hunt". So i came back at the venue at around 610 just to find out that they had already come in. So my expierience started out with some lost hope. So today was my friends birthday and we went to the hotel he was staying at and suprised him by telling him we were going to coldplay. He thought he was in boston the geography wiz. So I return to hersheypark and enter my seats. OHHH MYY GODD the seats were amazing right next to Guy's ramp. Ahh. So 10 minutes in our seats and it begins to pour so the seats were evacuated and we stood under the side sections for a half an hour. Howling Bells eventually got cancelled and Pete Yorn's set was shortened. Pete Yorn was pretty good as i got that bass feeling in my chest. Once i heard magnificent i went crazy. Then Jayz. Then the classical piece. In regular order. Then omg Coldplay. The boys were so into it tonight even though Chris tripped in the begining of LIT and burnt himself. Many puns and lyric additions wee made in relation to the rain. The crowd was small but boy did they sing. Everyone was dancing to the majority of the songs. Same setlist though. The lighting was amazing outside and the air was nice after the rain. The boys were so into it. Jonny especially he was dancing all over the place. AND ALL THE GUYS NOTICED MY SIGN. we were right on the barracade so we had Great access to the catwalk and during Lovers In Japan, Chris touched my sign!!!! Like he grabbed it. And it wasnt on accident cause he was smiling right at me. I almost fainted!!! AMAZING NIGHT!!!! ill post the vids i have and the one with Chris and the sign. AMAZING!

im in a hotel right now and i dont have my usb ill search for one but hang tight with the vids guys.

im sorry guys but im beat i know you want vids and pics but all i can give you is my word that it was the best Coldplay concert ive been to. Have a great night guys!

thanks for the review!

AMAZING!! I got a yellow balloon! We went up at the end to try and get a setlist, but instead the one roadie..with orange hair, I think his name is Hoppy or something, he threw the balloon to us! My seats were amazing. 4 rows right in front of the B stage. I felt so bad that Chris fell during LIT and burnt himself! I have some pictures that i will try to upload ASAP. :)

Oh! and a friend of mine actually called the box office this morning and ordered 3 tickets and got section B, row 5. Seats 1, 2, and 3!!

Coldplay wows crowd in Hershey

 

Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin performs at Hersheypark Stadium Sunday night.

 

Coldplay may have been delayed by an errant, drenching thunderstorm in their first Hershey appearance Sunday at the Stadium. And singer Chris Martin said he was burned coming onstage and was thus in a less-than-charitable mood.

 

But no one showed their irritation on either end, and the band delivered a sparkling performance in support of their hugely-successful and Grammy-winning album "Viva La Vida."

 

Starting with the instrumental "Life in Technicolor," the quartet marching onstage with sparklers held aloft, they punched directly into "Violet Hill." Their sound was crisp and tight, Martin's voice strong even on the falsetto portions.

 

But it was on their smash hit "Clocks" that they really got cracking, the crowd going bonkers, Martin singing slightly ahead of the beat and emphasizing the downbeat with his powerful piano-playing.

 

Two sweet tracks followed, the sweeping "In My Place" and the song that got them on the radio, the ballad "Yellow." Light of the same shade bathed the stage and massive matching balloons were batted aloft.

 

The cheery "Glass of Water" featured an excellent mix on its bass line - oftentimes bass can be unbearable (you know that annoying booming you get in your sternum?) but this was perfectly done.

 

Drummer Will Champion shone on the dark "Cemeteries of London," with its rollicking groove, and the very Beatle-esque "42," which Martin kicked off on piano.

 

"Fix You," a fave with the ladies, was tender and heartfelt, while "Strawberry Swing" was set off by its weird, slightly Asian, slightly country (but altogether endearing) guitar melody.

 

The four hit the catwalk for a truncated "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face" merged into "Talk," then left Martin to his own devices on an elegant and lovely "The Hardest Part." Their tale of a failed leader "Viva La Vida" got the crowd up and singing again, Champion starring on tympani this time. And "Lost!" was punched up by a jaunty hip-hop tempo that belied its rather downbeat message.

 

Opener Pete Yorn was almost apologetic, knowing the crowd had been waiting for the headliner, but presented a strong set nonetheless, impressing with his dark, David Bowie-sounding voice and songs like 'For Us" and Don't Wanna Cry."

 

Hopefully a little rain and pre-show injuries won't keep Coldplay from making a return trip - the excitement they generated won't soon be forgotten.

I LOVE COLDPLAY MORE THAN ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm way to tired to write a review. But let me just say, FRONT ROW!!!! Guy saw me and my friend, smiled and nodded. Chris was really pissed at the start that he burnt himself. I saw him throwing things down. Pics/bids in the morn. Best night of my life!!!

Sounds like an amazing show! I'm sitting here getting stoked about seeing them three times this summer especially since I have PIT for two shows! I'm going to bring a sign that says "Without Coldplay I'm just miles away"...Strawberry Swing is one of my favorite songs and I think the boys will hopefully notice it and give me a smile or something. Glad you had fun and can't wait to see videos and pics!

Does anybody have any details about Chris's fall and burnt during Life In Tech? :sick:
