In a telescope lens Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 it was AMAZING!!! :D:D:D:D:D Yeah it was so weird, I'm not used to seeing that at coldplay shows. Chris kept saying things to get everyone to scream. Like before he introduced will he sings a little song off the top of his head, which was a long song this time by the way :D he said something like "i hear saratoga can make a fuck of a lot of noise" and during fix you he sang "when you're sitting in the back at a coldplay show, if you don't make any noise then how will we know?" :heart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dfit00 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I am glad that you all who had waited for so long had a wonderful time! :nice: I am kind of upset that they did not schedule a show in New York City for the whole tour. Except for the June 23, 2008 free show, and the two East Rutherford, NJ nights... :disappointed: It would have been nice to see them once again in Madison Square Garden...

Mimixxx Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yeah, I can't believe the only NYC show they played was the free MSG one that was a completely random allocation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dfit00 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Yeah, I can't believe the only NYC show they played was the free MSG one that was a completely random allocation. Yeah, when I saw the whole tour schedule it made me very upset. They love New York as much as I do, and every band should play in MSG more than once. And the worst part of that free show back in 2008 at MSG, was that the ticket scalpers were selling the FREE tickets in scalp sites... :veryangry2: And to be honest, the setlist of that show wasn't that great... take a look at it. http://wiki.coldplaying.com/index.php/23_June_2008:_Free_Show%2C_Madison_Square_Garden%2C_NY%2C_USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serenade-of-sound Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Thanks Marisa for the full review! I was there too and reading your review reminded me of stuff I forgot! :) I agree with you about the crowd. This was my first Coldplay concert so I had nothing to compare it to really, but I did notice that the crowd seemed lackluster at certain points. I felt like I was the only one singing around me as well. And I couldn't believe that it took two tries to get people to sing part of Yellow to Will, and even the second attempt wasn't so great. I mean, come on, I thought everyone knew that one! It was just so strange to me. I was also disappointed that people weren't more into Glass of Water or Cemeteries of London. Those are two of my favorite songs. Oh well, I was singing the crap out of them so :P to those who don't know them haha. I traveled 4 hrs by bus from NYC to see them. The bus actually broke down and we had to wait for a new one to rescue us. I was terrified I wasn't going to make it even though I'd left super-early in case of incident like this. I was almost crying at the possibility of not seeing them. When we got picked up by another bus I was so happy. There was no way I'd go to that concert and not enjoy the HELL out of myself by singing and jumping up and down. I'm glad there are other people willing to do the same. :) I enjoyed myself regardless of the crowd. And I love Kitty, Daisy and Lewis so I was happy they opened the show. I hadn't heard of Elbow before this but I thought they were great too! This is the first time I've gone to a show and enjoyed the opening acts so this was really an amazing experience for me all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

masterkraig Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 What a great show! I was Oxfam's team leader for Saratoga Springs and our team brought the HEAT! Getting pit seats was a fantastic surprise from the band/Oxfam! That's my green hat :laugh3: I touched that umbrella! Such a great show, and the lawn crowd was very excited about signing Oxfam's petition and getting involved! Thanks again fantastic volunteers!

FluMTonks Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 More Pictures! I drove up from NYC on Sunday for the concert. That same day I went into SPAC and checked out where my cousin and I would be sitting, I brought my lil baby cousin to her first concert =D The first act was Kitty, Daisy and Lewis(?) - IMO, Kitty should go solo. I had never really listened to Elbow before hand, but after seeing their performance, I am definitely going to go pick up a CD. Their music was melodic, and everyone on stage, although their music doesn't entail rocking out, drew your attention. Their music flowed smoothly through you, evoking a calm and amazed reaction. I hope their studio albums provide the same feeling. As for the lackluster crowd, I'm not sure if it's because of the area, or the fact that Coldplay in general attracts an older crowd here in the states. Most the people at the venue, within the seating area, seemed to be older couples, or older parents that brought their kids. I was sitting in section 12 in the aisle seats and I can tell everyone that the only people letting their hearts out were myself and these two guys that seemed to be around my age (18). This is my fifth Coldplay concert, my 4th of the Viva La Vida Tour. Compared to the other shows, Chris's singing was has perfect as possible. However, besides the two different sections, the band-fan interaction was horrible. If you weren't a fan of coldplay, or didn't know some of the songs, I could see how it would be a bit hard for you to get into the concert. I was standing two people away from them while they played on Stage B, they acted like people weren't even surrounding them. Story telling is the only way Coldplay truly interacts with their fans. There is the singing during fix you and VLV, and also the clapping duriing VLV, but with such amazing songs and a charismatic singer, I hope as time progresses they will become even looser with their interaction and playing. I also managed to obtain a setlists from the soundbooth for my cousin and I - so that made my night...besides my LRLR CD!! =D I'm currently uploading my Billie Jean recording and the pictures, I'll post them shortly.

cold12play Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Recordings from the SPAC show...Anyone? Hey there... Loved the show, but I was wondering if there was a way to get a recording of the show like I can for the Dave Matthews Band SPAC shows? If anyone knows I would appreciate it. Thanks! CHEERS!
