These are awesome pictures!!!! Did you get them from travisonline? That sight is awesome!!! :o There is so much to see! I havent' finished seeing over probably 3/4 of it. The videos are great! I just saw the pics of Fran. He actually looks pretty good with long hair! :) Does he really write all of the descriptions for the making of his videos? That is so awesome! The band is great. They seem like they would be so nice to meet! The "Why does it always rain on me?" video is great. He's wearing a kilt in that video! :lol: It's awesome. I have to finish seeing...They've got soo much on that site! "Today we all went to a swimming pool outside London where we were given a bullet training session in breathing compressed air in deep water.... Breathing underwater is the coolest. It's defying nature." -Fran Is this true? I've tried to do that before, but I didn't know you really could do that! :shock: I can't wait for their new album. And I want to see them in concert!!!

Nwahulwana- Orchestra Marrabenntta- It's a CD I just got from the library on African music. It's pretty good. :)

Like I said before, I saw them twice and thought that the 1st concert I ever saw them in was better. They are a great band performing live. Like I said before, not all bands play well live and sound even better than they do on their CD. I have only gotten that from Coldplay and U2. I don't like comparing them (as to which band is better), because their music is different and I am a bigger Coldplay fan. Their first concert got me into their second album. There were a lot of songs that they played that I had not heard before because I had not purchased their second album. But the music sounded sooooo good live, I loved the concert anyhow. After the concert, I bought their second album right away because of their performance at the concert! :-D I love Chris' voice, the piano, and the melody of the guitar in their songs! I think I was expecting too much when I went to the second concert, because I loved the 1st concert soooo much!

Yeah 5 votes! :lol: "luvly-jubly?" :roll: jk Hey where can I find avatars? How do I post them on my profile? I'm new to this. Sorry it's off the topic. Good sites guys!

Is that a picture of Fran? That's cool. Where did you get it?

Hey these videos are great! What kind of camera did you use? :shock:

Does anyone else like the band TRAVIS? I love their music. I hope they play in the states. I heard that they are working on their new album. Sing....sing...sing.... Gisela

Btw.... I also went to a U2 concert for the first time last year or the year before (I don't remeber exactly). We got floor tickets and were not able to get really close to the front. But, that didn't matter! It was one of the best concerts sound wise and performance wise that I have ever attended. And I am not even a huge fan. It was held in the united center and I was kind of scared that the concert would not sound to good since it is a huge place...but the crowd was great and the band sounded awesome. I love it when you can say that a band sounds better live then when you listen to them on their album. That's when you know they are really good musicians. Which I must say I did get that impression also when I saw coldplay the first time. (With better seats- much closer, there is too much bass when you are sitting on the balcony.) :D

Coldplay connecting with the audience I went to the concert at UIC last year. It was really different, I remember he did chat a lot more. Don't you remember that he even let a fan propose to his girlfriend? This year's concert was good, but he didn't say much to the audience. :( I do like it when musicians talk to the audience because it does make the concert more personal. Since it is a live concert you are expecting something different than hearing what you hear when you listen to the album. I am glad that they played some different songs that they have never played before, but last concert they did play a lot more songs and more from their first album. Like I said before, I had better seats the first time so the concert sounded a lot better the first time. The band did not play as many songs. I don't know if they were tired or what? I don't know if he thought the crowd was not with him or what. Not a whole lot of people were standing up for the concert either. Just until yellow was played did the audience stand up. I did hear the concert in Toronto over the radio and it sounded that he was more in touch with the crowd there. They had more encores. At chicago, the band played their last song with the lights on. Remember that Chris asked to turn the lights on? Afterwards I figured out that he probably did this so that they could end with that song. I still love coldplay. I love their songs and their music. This does not change my opinion of them. I wish I could have been there for the toronto concert! I wonder if the MSG concer will be great. Are coldplay going to be playing in England of London this summer? Are they playing in that one concert with all those other bands like REd Hot Chili Pepper? That should be a great concert. I listen to Virgin Radio over the net a lot. It's a good radio station. (off the topic) Oh well those are my thoughts on the concert. It doesn't sound like there are any other Chicago fans on this site though. So we may not get anymore feedback. :shrug: :cry:

The concert was great. I had bad seats, but got to watch some of the concert from the entrance of one of the side aisles. That was a great view. Did they play less songs this time than the last concert they played at UIC? I thought he talked much less to the crowd yesterday too. It was still a great concert, I just wish I would have gotten better seats. How was the floor if anyone saw it from there? Wish they would have played Green Eyes. Did anyone get to see any of the members after the concert? :o

Did you get to see them after the concert? Did anyone get to see Coldplay after the concert in Chicago? I tried to, but missed them. I was standing in the right right place at first, but moved towards their busses and missed them. Did they stay in Chicago for a while? :sad:
