March 12, 200917 yr I'm there baby! 2 hours from my house.... I will be able to use my Coldplay-senses to detect when they are in the general vicinity of my house... *awkward silence*
March 20, 200917 yr This will be my first Coldplay show. Can't wait for June 13th!! Any things I should be aware of as a "first timer"? This is going to be so awesome.
March 21, 200917 yr Whoo!! I've bought the tickets! TO manatee78: It doesn't matter what seat you get at a Coldplay concert. It's going to be awesome anyway.
March 22, 200917 yr Whoo!! I've bought the tickets! TO manatee78: It doesn't matter what seat you get at a Coldplay concert. It's going to be awesome anyway. Just what I needed to hear! :D I'm in the lower bowl and was hoping it'd be a great view of the whole stage. I'll be pretty close to one of the side catwalks, so that sounds exciting! Where are you going to be at yamfox?
March 23, 200917 yr manatee I am so excited for you! This will be my third time seeing Coldplay. They had originally scheduled a show in Omaha last summer but it was canceled, so I saw them in KC already. So, I have already seen the Viva La Vida tour and it's amazing!! This is the first time that I've actually got really good seats too! But it doesn't matter, any seat is good at a Coldplay show. They're amazing live performers... any word on who is opening for them?

Not sure who the opening act is, but I found this link on the other site: http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=300&page=40

June 11, 200917 yr Coldplay is a musical giant. But selling millions of albums and winning a pile of Grammys hasn't turned members of the band into egomaniac rock stars. While on tour, they spend their time doing things like any average Joe. “Often we have our families with us and that keeps us very busy. We play soccer. We read. We do all the things that everyone else does,” said Coldplay drummer Will Champion. The group's “Viva La Vida” tour stops in Omaha on Saturday. “Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends” was released in 2008, selling millions of albums and garnering the group three Grammys, including awards for song of the year and best rock album. Their cloud nine has been darkened, though, by several musicians (Joe Satriani and Cat Stevens among them) who claim Coldplay stole their songs. On the phone from Coldplay's studio in London, Champion answered questions about his band's music (creating it, performing it and giving it away) before the band embarked on its tour: Q. Cat Stevens said you ripped off his song “Foreigner Suite” to make your song “Viva La Vida.” A. I have nothing to say other than we wrote the song. It's strange that people don't accuse of us stealing songs that aren't successful. It's baffling to me. People always try and pull the wool over people's eyes. We know exactly — to the minute — where and when that song was written and so on and so forth. We're not worried about it. Q. Do you guys think it's getting ridiculous? A. Well, a little bit, you know. It goes with the territory, unfortunately. Q. Have you been working on any new material? A. We have actually been in the studio working with Brian (Eno) again and doing some interesting writing. We're definitely back in writing mode, although we're just about to leave to come back on tour again. Right now, it's just a bit of fun in the studio. We'll see what materializes. Q. What's it like working with Brian Eno? A. He is fascinating. He's a mixture of like a professor, a musician, an artist, a mathematician. He's a very interesting man and very inspiring to be in the studio with. He's always full of new and innovative techniques to get us to approach music in a new and interesting way. Q. You're billed as the multi-instrumentalist in the band. What instruments do you play? A. Anything that's lying around in the studio, really. I tend to shift around a bit and play piano here and there or play a guitar or play some kind of percussion or drums or drum machine. Just anything, really. We all play different things, Certainly in the last recording session — for “Viva La Vida” — we were all switching around quite a lot, which was a lot of fun. We all just play whatever's there. Q. What can people expect to see on the live show? A. It's a mix of the four records. The focus of our live show is to make big venues feel like small venues. Everything that we do is an attempt to try and create intimacy that is not normally there in the big arenas. Trying to get people to feel involved as possible. We try to reach as many people as possible. I don't want to give too much away, but we have varying techniques of getting around and seeing people. Q. You're giving away a live CD (“Left Right Left Right Left”) at your concerts this summer. (It can also be downloaded for free at www.coldplay.com/lrlrl/lr.html) Why give it away instead of sell it? A. Times are tough, and we feel like it's a way of repaying the people that have basically allowed us to be where we are. http://omaha.com/article/20090611/EN...NT04/706119982
June 12, 200917 yr I can't believe I'm doing it - but I just bought tickets for the Omaha show - and I'm in Minneapolis!!! (Couldn't get Des Moines to come together) Had to pull out all the stops (and a lot of cash) to make it work - but I'll be in the 6th row!! Saw them twice on the last tour from the 9th row (Minneapolis & Chicago). Are there fun places to go out after the show in the area??
