I love some of Guy's expressions. He looks really composed and slightly ??? in some shots. Greatness. :D

Yeah those are some interesting perspective photographers. Definitely unique. I admire a photographer when they can branch out into different genres and still stay true to their style. And that Kevin photo of the many photographers- I love it so because it sets Kevin apart from the usual photographer pack while also setting Chris apart and above the crowd. Gotta love the colors too! As for the U2/Coldplay goes, I don't think I've seen enough photographers of the two bands to say which comes first. Chicken or the egg....

Here's the original. ;) <img src=http://elitegroup.blogs.sapo.pt/arquivo/02-1.JPG> And talking more about photography, here's a classic example of why I admire Kevin's photographic prowess so much. Just check out the difference between these two similar photos: <img src=http://www.rtl.nl/programma/yorinentertainment/components/cd/images/coldplay-282x162.jpg> <img src=http://www.the-raft.com/assets/artists/coldplay/pix/COLDPLAY1.jpg> (Kevin's photo) Maybe it's just me being sensitive to the moods portrayed in photos, but the 2nd shot totally blows the first one out of the water. It's so much more Coldplay and it seems more true to the guys themselves. I love it how great photography can do things like that.

Ohh that video clip is on his site! There's a video section where you can watch that MTV clip and another clip about a Asian model that he photographed. It's hilarious.

I remember at the Atlanta Coldplay concert, some girls made a sign that read "Guy Put A Smile Upon My Face" and held it up. Chris saw it and told them to bring it up to the stage. Then Chris started on how Guy was "a 27y/o sex god", and all the while Guy was blushing like a little school boy. He told Guy to start off God Put A Smile Upon Your Face because of the sign's honor award. After formally introducing Guy, Chris mentioned that he wouldn't introduce the rest of the band "because that would be cheesy as fuck." hahaha Only Chris could make that sound absolutely classic. :lol: That's really awesome about the letter though! Go you!!!

Pssha how lucky! All we got was "Here's To The Night" by Eve6. I would have LOVED to have Speed of Sound or Fix You. Maybe using I Ran Away would be a stretch. :lol:

After the short intro, there's a Coldplay link on the right side. There's also a classic photo of them in the Classics2 section.

This fantastic photographer deserves a major nod and applause. I don't think I've ever seen a photographer that has better defined a band and helped them to achieve the image that they were aiming towards. If you don't know who Kevin is, definitely check his site out. To understand his perspective in imagery is to better understand multiple facets of Coldplay. Kevin, I salute you. http://www.kevinwestenberg.com

And sorry greeneyes1207, I didn't see you jumping around. Sounds like you had a blast too! :lol:

This concert was my VERY first concert ever. What an amazing event!!! My friend and I had seats in the middle of the floor, on the aisleway of section 6. I remember thinking, "Oh wow, I wish we had front row seats!" But then part way through the concert, I look over to my right and Gwyneth Paltrow is sitting about 5 ft away from me in front of the fenced-in sound booth. It was awesome to be able to glance over at her during any point in the concert and see her singing and nodding along to the music. Michael Stipe was sitting next to her. Then during In My Place, Chris ran to the back of the floor. I could have reached out and touched him he was so close! He's absolutely beautiful up close. I could really feel the love and soul that he put into his music. It was simply incredible.

I noticed the same thing at the Atlanta show with the balloons. That was slightly weird with the mass movement and disappearance of the balloons towards the front of the stage.
