Last night's MSG show was agreeably enthralling. As a huge coldplay fan myself though, I was dissappointed in several things. First I don't understand how a megaband such as coldplay that hold 4 full albums worth of well-recieved material can only pick up their instruments for 70 minutes and think they served their audience. I understand it was a free concert but people came far and wide to hear them and I know many left feeling like there was something more. Most importantly, there was not enough clarity between the set and the encore. After rejoining on stage after YELLOW, they went on to play fix you & lovers in japan as their closer. This was not evident though due to Martin not saying anything other than goodnight and walking off stage. In all the shows i've been to I have never seen what I witnessed last night. 10,000 insane coldplay fans continuing to scream and clap in unison for 8-10 minutes after the band left the stage. We wanted one more song so bad and many didn't even realize the show was over until the set began to get stripped. I love coldplay but at such a monumentous show like msg, I don't know how they could go backstage, listen to the deafing begs for an encore, and call it a night. Anything would have done,spare the lightshow and play an acoutic anything. I think they really blew a big chance to connect with energy, intensity, and loyalty of their fans.
