It was awesome seeing you too! And tell Kevin thank you for me. That was really sweet of him! I look forward to seeing you again during their next time in the US!

That review is impossible to follow considering how close I sat to this guy (only 2 rows apart) but Imma review it anyways. Unlike Tuesday night, I consciously decided not to take a lot of pictures and just enjoy the concert, and that I did. Wednesday was 10x better than Tuesday and that is solely due to the crowd and how the boys fed off of it. At times, the sound was deafening. Since the review above me covered everything, I just have to say OMFG to finally getting to hear Amsterdam in its entirety. I distinctly remember seeing Chris lean in to whisper something to Will, then Jonny, then Guy. Inside, I was freaking out because I knew he was up to something. Then it happened. I'll admit it took me a few moments to recognize what was happening then I lost it. AMSTERDAM. I sang every word as loud as I could if only to keep myself from crying (I actually did when he played the first minute of it on Tuesday). I know it's likely that I will never hear it again which is why I have forever engrained it on my heart. Warning Sign AND Amsterdam. My top two favorite Coldplay songs and I got to hear them both live! AH! I'm smiling just thinking about it. I was gutted we didn't get to meet them either night but it was awesome hanging out with everyone. I stayed til almost 1:30 with Angie and Mike all to no avail. And the roadie, Andy, was awesome even if he did flat out lie to us about the supposed runner. I don't think he counted on us knowing so much about the Coldplay world :wink:. This was only reinforced when Guy tweeted this: Coldplay ‏@coldplay We are in Chicago - only 2 shows left to play in the USA for the Mylo tour. It's been a great journey. GB Can't fool us, Andy! I can't wait to see you all again on the next tour, whenever that may be! I'll leave you with my C-stage video of Speed of Sound with a smile from Jonny at 1:53 mark...

Welp. There is not much to be said that hasn't already been said. I will add that I was one of the lucky ones to get upgraded (front row on Jonny's side) but I have no proof. I found out yesterday when I went to upload my pictures that my sd card for my camera was corrupted and saved NONE of my pictures. It was one of the greatest nights of my life (AND I got so many good crotch pictures!) and I have nothing to show for it. I was not in the panorama picture because I had to go the bathroom before the boys went on and I cannot find my ticket. I'm praying it shows up. The show itself literally took my breath away. Seeing the bracelets light up was mind blowing and the boys were on top form. I got Jonny's attention quite a few times and the reward for my efforts was a large heartfelt smile :dance: Highlights were Warning Sign (finally!!!) and the snippet of Amsterdam. I was the only one in the front row throwing around the likes of 'Holy shit!' and 'Oh my God.' Basically, freaking out. With all that depressing shit aside, I had a lovely time meeting all you Coldplayers after the show. It was so nice seeing Mike, Lori, Angie, and Kelli again, and lovely meeting all those new faces (I'm sorry I cannot remember your names. I horrible at that kind of thing).

This is probably wrong but... Copenhagen 10/30/05?

Ahhh so awesome! I almost cried again just listening to it! So brilliant that we got to experience it first-hand!

I. Am. Front. Row. Holy shit! :stunned:

I've been trying so hard not to freak out all week! I cannot wait for these two shows! Hope to see some fellow Coldplayers again!

Those are amazing! You captured everything perfectly! Sorry bout the ticket, that seems to be going around...but 13th row on guys side is what most of the people in the arena would have killed to have :laugh3: ...at least I would have...

I'm section 102 by some kind of miracle. Right in between the stages!

Based on a certain picture from @Jayreg1969 I saw in the Edmonton thread, I'm super stoked on my seat now! 113 days!

Since I felt the urge to look up the seating chart, have fun to everyone in section 108 and 106! :sneaky::shocked2::wink3:

[/url]Hell yes!:shocked2:

Hey Kelly! I hope to see you there! We had such a blast on the Viva tour!

Section 102 was the best I could get. That was horrible!
