How is the Lawn sounding this tour?
I was on the Lawn for the Riverbend show, and everything sounded great. I could hear all the instruments and Chris. So there's no need to worry. :)

The Muse Thread - Hate This & I'll Hate You
I really hope they hit Cincinnati or somewhere nearby. I'm already missing U2 because it looks like they're coming nowhere near here. I can't miss Muse, too.

Latest on Satriani Stupidity
I don't even know who this guy is. I had never heard of him before he started saying that Coldplay copied his song. I think he's just trying to make headlines by saying Coldplay copied it. He's an unknown.

Why is this place so dead lately
I haven't noticed it's been dead, but that could be because I haven't posted much until recently.

4-Jun-2009: Riverbend Music Center, Cincinnati, OH, USA
Here's my review: What an amazing night! I got there around 6:30, but was extremely frustrated to learn that the lawn chairs had to be a certain height (I had lawn seats.) Me and my friend had to walk back to our car, and get something to put on the ground. That was the only negative thing about the night, though; we got inside around 6:45, and I bought drinks and a t-shirt. I was really impressed with the Howling Bells. I had never heard their music before (or Pete Yorn), but I've since bought both their albums. They remind me a little of Radiohead, although with a female vocalist. Pete Yorn...yawn. Sorry Pete Yorn fans, I was completely unimpressed with this act. I didn't like it at all, and I was waiting for it to be over so Coldplay could go on. Coldplay started around 9, and at first I didn't realize they were starting, until the crowd started to cheer. Life in Technicolor was a fantastic opener, and I was completely blown away by Violet Hill and Glass Of Water. I really loved the version of God Put A Smile On Your Face that they did, I've never heard it done that way before, and I thought the strobe lights effects were really cool. The best part of the night was when the band came out on the lawn, and did a short acoustic set. I was having trouble seeing them before, but when they came up it was like I was sitting in the regular seats. The boyband and 'are you in love' parts cracked me up, and I loved it when Chris started the cell phone wave (that I participated in, too.) I was really grateful that Chris acknowledged Cincinnati at the end, plus he dropped so many parts into songs about Cincinnati. I was just expecting one or two, but he did it quite a few times (like someone else said, I'm not sure if that was intentional or not.) The high note he held at the end of one of the songs was incredible! For a second, he seemed out of breath, and then he belted that note out. I also thought the other people in the crowd were great. There was a bit too much drinking (I saw this older woman, in her 50s, falling down drunk a few feet up from me), but overall everyone participated and was enthusiastic. I sort of wish I had been up in the front, though, when they dropped all those butterflies. Last night just proved to me how nice all of the band members are (even my friend, who didn't know much about Coldplay before last night, said that they seemed like a bunch of nice guys), and reaffirmed why Coldplay is the best band in the world right now. Last night was my first concert, but I can't wait to see them live again.
