Tash Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 I found some tweets about technical difficulties, does anyone know what went wrong? ----------------- Alison Struve I guess there were tech difficulties, so Coldplay's 1st opener started 30 min late. Looks like opener 2 is bumped... #coldplayfilm link Charley.✌ Technical difficulties. #typical #coldplayfilm link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MX&Yellow Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 After Charlie XCX, this young person approached me. As this person got closer, I realized they were a Coldplay roadie! The roadie asked, “Are you Sara?” And I was immediately in shock! I said yes, and the roadie said that the crew had looked at my blog! My heart was pounding at this moment. This young roadie said that the photos I took from the concert last night were great! They also said that they really enjoyed my posts. At this point, I am completely honored. I can’t even talk. Then the roadie says, “Well, I have something for you!” They pull from their jacket…A SIGNED PHOTO FROM COLDPLAY! It says, “To Sara, Enjoy the Show!” I start to cry. I cannot say anything at all! The roadie goes on to say, “That is how you spell your name, right? I wanted to get this for you. Your blog is just really really amazing. The boys were worried that I wouldn’t be able to find you! I was too, but then I looked on your blog.” The roadie held up their phone which was open to my blog! I cannot thank the young roadie enough for the beautiful gift. We chat a bit more, take a photo, and then the roadie was off. The sweetest thing is, this roadie comes back several times to check on me during the show. Coldplay and their crew really do treat their fans with the upmost respect. I am so grateful to be apart of this amazing fan base. Thank you for sharing your story : ) You're so lucky :awesome: Keep it preciously ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterflygirl Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 The shows were both amazing, but last night was insane! We were lucky to get upgraded to 3rd row Jonny's side!!! My 12 year old daughter couldn't believe it when the roadie asked her to read the seat numbers! He was so nice! He works on special effects so we chatted about that for quite a while. He did confirm they were playing the Olympics....I was offline for a few days so I hadn't heard that was happening for sure. The band were in fine form, but Chris sounded like he was having a hard time with some of the high notes. He struggled a bit with some of Yellow. Those who don't see them a lot probably wouldn't notice, but this was my 4th concert in a month and his voice is usually so strong. He still sounded great, but I hope he does well tonight. That is a lot of vocal strain over 3 days. I miss them already. :( If anyone here was on Jonny's side, way to rock out!! I have never had so much fun at a concert. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenjie Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 We attended the second of two back-to-back nights for Coldplay in St. Paul, and if they were bored in any way with the lack of change in venue, it did not show. The concert was simply outstanding. Notes from the evening: Chris Martin is a front man in every sense of the word. Showman, band leader, crowd pleaser, and lunch pail mentality all rolled into one. While he's no Springsteen, he's Springsteen-like in approach to his work and his audience. He flew around the stage, working his butt off, and had the crowd eating out of his hands. Simply a great lead singer. The show was a visual spectacle. Confetti cannons, laser lights, balloons, and these lighted bracelets made the event one for the eyes a much as the ears. Really impressive. As they had done the last time we saw them, the band came off the main stage and set up an impromptu stage in the crowd. And, just like the last time, we were really close to them. 15 feet close. The set list was fairly standard, with the only big miss for me was Talk was not performed. It is a personal favorite for me and holds a lot of meaning, so I missed it a lot. That being said, the rest of the set was very sold and quite enjoyable. The opening acts were absolutely brutal. Charlie XCX and Marianna & the Diamonds were both horrible in stage presence, way too pop oriented, limited in vocal ability, and just not very good. Both were the worst musical acts I've seen in many years. However, both had strong percussion, which salvaged their respective sets. Avoid these guys at all costs. Coldplay is a really great band. Their musicianship, work ethic, and joy were on display in full force tonight. It resulted in a great band delivering a great show.
