Coldplay's Viva La Vida tour continued on last night as they played at the Nissan Pavillion in Washington DC. Coldplay once again (Guy) posted some tweets before and after the show, which you can view in the recent posts here at the official Twitter, including a revelation that with the live album giveaway at the shows there are always 20 randomly signed copies in the boxes. The setlist was the same as the previous nights.

Just back from the show and downloading pictures now. Got a couple of money shots but the rest are crap - Mr. Martin just a big blur in different poses. However I was standing in front of Guy so I do have some excellent pictures of him to post! Was great to meet some Coldplayer there, what a blast! More tomorrow, I'm wrecked - night all [thanks romanglass]
two feet from Chris- CHECK hundreds of pictures- CHECK Videos of Chris singing two feet away from me- CHECK LeftRightLeftRightLeft- CHECK Butterflies that Chris touched- CHECK SETLIST!!!- CHECK. BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!!!!!!! During IMP Jonny and Guy walked onto our ramp, so close that we could've touched them! And then Chris ran onto it, and he was so close that I had to zoom out and turn my camera sideways (I took video of the whole thing ). I was screaming my head off... Chris was in a very cheery mood, he was talking to us a lot, made us sing the end of Yellow to Will, he made up a little song when they played the lawn... We were right in front of Guy, and he kept looking at us and smiling! They were all incredibly energetic, and it was amazing to be so close to them. During Lost, Chris put on the dragon head again and came onto our ramp! I video taped it, but he was dancing RIGHT THERE, and then he dropped the dragon head and it fell at my feet! AWESOME Guy's bass broke during VLV, he was PISSED. LIJ was amazingly incredibly beautiful, I have about 1.5 minutes of video of Chris dancing 2 feet away from me as the butterflies fell, and then he looked right at us! We screamed so loudly during the bows (they all came onto our ramp) that Guy, Chris, and Jonny all looked at us Our buddy Glen gave us some of the butterflies that they'd stepped on during their bows [thanks notlost92]
I was there, front row of pit right in front of Guy. The back of my head will probably end up in somebodies pictures. Concert was amazing. To me better than the 2 Verizon center shows...not sure if it was the addition of a couple new songs or being right up front. Either way awesome. Also getting out of the parking lot in under 15 minutes...uhhh...awesome! [thanks jensgt]
