Just got back. Insanely beautiful show. My first Codlplay gig, and so happy I was able to go. Got a seat in Section 11, seat 11 (next to section 12) and I couldn't have asked for a better seat. Unbelievably close to the stage at the comfort of my own seat. As to the show, my only real gripe is they opted for a techno-ish pre-recorded version of Talk as opposed to the real thing. But aside from that, it was aces across the board. Viva La Vida, In My Place, Lovers in Japan, Strawberry Swing and a ton more...and closing with Death and All His Friends was just heavenly. Chris screwed up a couple of times (Speed of Sound, and The Scientist, I'm pretty sure) but he's so damn charismatic all you do is laugh along with him. The happy foursome awesomely ran up to the nosebleeds mid-show to play Yellow and Death Will Never Conquer, which I can only imagine was crazy cool for those people up there. Also, he compared our crowd with Monday's in Starbucks-speak. He said we were a Venti, while Monday's crowd was a Grande. The best compliment....Cracked me up! :D Awesome show all around!
