Coldplay's Viva La Vida tour continued on the West Coast last night as they played at the magnificent Home Depot Center in Carson, CA, the fifth and final show in a series of five consecutive Californian appearances. No major changes to the normal arena setlist except that Billie Jean replaced I'm A Believer in the acoustic set again.

Were you at the KROQ party? I was, and I was very disappointed. Not blaming the band by any means, i think their management overscheduled them today, and the meet and greet was kind of disorganized. We waited for nearly 2 hours for less than 5 minutes with the band. Just enough time for a group shot, there were 4 groups of about 20, that the band just went from group to group from and posed. This was while Magnificent was playing, so it was really cutting it close. But when it comes down to it, I was right up against Will in the group picture, I kind of tailed him from one group shot to ours, and spoke to him for a few seconds- and he thanked me whenI told him that I thought Saturday's show at Home Depot Center was amazing, and hoped I would enjoy the show. I shook hands with Chris, and my husband says Chris put his arm around him in the picture - I was glued to Will, so I don't even know where anyone else was. I just transferred 250 pics from my camera to my computer - I brought in my Nikon dslr with my zoom lens, and they didn't search my purse closely enough. Our seats were good, and right on the aisle that they ran up to get to C stage, so they high fived us as they ran up. Amazing. Oh and we saw Gwyneth, she was sitting in the boxes in Sec. 6. The during Viva Remix, some people started leaving. Since we were in Orchestra and had wristbands (from the meet and greet), we just walked down the stairs about 10 rows for a song, then my husband cut across the section, and we got down to row 3 for LIT2. Amazing. But it's late, so I need to go to bed. But this show was better than last night, I thought. Chris was more talkative, and we had better seats, which probably added to it. I'm still on a Coldplay high, but am sad that after 5 months, it's over. And on the way out, I asked one of the computer/sound guys for a set list, so he gave me one from tonight. [thanks lfdianne]
I just got back from the show and it was the best night of my life! Me and my best friend were front row center and omg I still can't believe it! I made eye contact several times with the boys and Chris even smiled at me its just an amazing feeling to know that they knew I was there and noticed me you know! Oh and I also got a set list!thank you coldplay for the best night of my life, I will never forget it. Oh also posted a picture of the set list on my twitter. [thanks l0wxo2]
