Hey guys. Don`t get me wrong about Interpol. Before i went to see Coldplay several people thought that seeing Interpol was more of a highlight. I wasn't complete;y blown away by them so i just felt that they were a bit of a letdown. I listen to shitloads of different styles of music and have something stupid like 500 albums. I`m always up for hearing new music but obviously i`m not gonna like everything i hear. Music is all opinion. Will give them another try though. Might sound better on CD. Hope everyone is all cool!!!! :cool:

Best gig ever Hi everyone, I`ve just joined and this is my first forum. Went to see Coldplay on Tuesday at Crystal Palace and for the last few days have just wanted to tell everyone how amazing the gig was!! Best place to do it is here so here it is. Went with a couple of mates from University and arrived at CP at about 11.45 to joina very small queue at the entrance. After baking in the sun for 3 hours the doors finally opened and we were allowed in. As we were at the front of the queue we ended up being two rows from the front of the stage so i knew this was gonna be a special gig. After the usual standing around watching the satge being put together Morning Runner came on and played some very good songs. I have never heard of them so it was a pleasant surprise to hear a good band i had never heard of. I wish i could say the same for Interpol. I had heard of them but i just found them to be a bit repetative and to be quite honest, not that good. I did like the drummer though. To be fair, i don`t really care about support bands. I had paid to see Coldplay so for all I care Mr Blobby could have supported them and i stilll would have gone. Once the supports were over Coldplay came on to the sounds of Square One and a rush came over me that i have never felt at a gig before. After a few songs it was like i was listening to their music for the first time. Just gave me a sense of europhia like nothing else ever has. Even though Johnny had a few problems with his guitar and Chris messed up a song (although if he hadn't of stopped, i never would have noticed) everything was just superb from start to finish. I like it when the band gets you involved in the gig and Coldplay did exactly that. He even mentioned the rain in one of the songs which i thought was a nice touch. They also took a bow which again i thought was an excellent thing to do. Fix You was easily the highlight and the perfect way to end the show. I`m 25 and will quite happily admit that Fix You moved me to tears and has done wth each listen from the CD, making it my fave from X&Y and my alltime fave song by anyone. To consistently stir up my emotions with each listen is a sign of exceptional song writing. The gig will live with me for a long time and i urge all people to see Coldplay if you can. An unforgettable experience.
