My brief review - an excellent show, Coldplay really brings the goods. Not too tech'd out, I thought the screen and the balls were just right. Chris and the boys are amazing, music was great. I thought the Viva songs are better live than on CD, part of what makes them better is that the songs aren't as familar as the hits off the past albums. I wish the crowd wouldn't be so loud and sing along to each song, I'm sure like any great artist, Chris would want to evolve and find greater depth; reveal a different side or add more texture to a given song, but the crowd's participation doesn't seem to allow for that. I'm sure Yellow is beat to death in Chris' mind, certainly Scientist or Clocks could be modified to be better than the recording, but the crowd won't allow it to happen. I mean, it was a great terrific show, despite the lack of an encore, I do think if the crowd backed off a little, it could be even better. Thoughts?
