there's 3 great mp3s on justspies ... but the one I really want (after trouble, of course :P ) is everything's not lost if anyone knows where it can be found, or has it, please, hook me up...

So tonight was the most amazing thing I've ever experienced... The show started off poorly for me, I (and apparently the crowd around me on the floor) absolutely hated The Music. It was made worse by the people around me who shouted obnoxious things at them as they played (I didnt like their music but I'm not the type to boo someone off stage =\ )... but once Coldplay got on stage the show quickly moved to an almost religious experience. I've never experienced anything like it, 7000 people (or however many can fit in the gwinnett center) singing for the last half of the show, especially on everything's not lost. It was a truly moving experience. The show had reached an incredible high before the lights all go out, chris walks back up to the mic with the spotlight on him, and he starts talking about how 2 years ago atlanta was the place where everything turned around for them on their last tour, and they felt like they really became a great band. (this over various cheers from the crowd to which he tells a few great jokes). Finally he says, "we have one more song to play for you before we go (awwwwws from the crowd)... well actually we have four songs, but this one is (crowd erupts again) this one is something we want to give back to atlanta for what they have given us" or something to that effect... and ELTON JOHN comes out to play piano for trouble.... elton john. it was incredible. the whole night... amazing. i seriously haven't felt that intense feeling of love and community since I went to a particularly good youth camp a few years ago... it was electric. if any bootlegs of this show pop up, or videos, i suggest you pay any price they are marked at, because it is worth it. to think i almost paid 200 bucks a seat for tickets to the nashville show @ the ryman (i live near nashville) and I got these atlanta tickets for 55 bucks each and I was standing less than 20 feet from center stage. Wow.
