Went to my first Coldplay concert last night (NIA, 3rd December), being a fan ever since Parachutes.
Concert was great, sound was fantastic, band was really energetic. They played 'Life In Technicolor II' to end the show, my favourite track off the new EP. Will sang 'Death Will Never Conquer', I thought he was really good. They also tried 'Speed of Sound' acoustic.... it didn't work. But everything else was brilliant. Chris was joking around with the crowd and they just looked genuinely happy to be out there. It was nice hearing 'Green Eyes' again, too. Brings back memories. 'Viva La Vida' and 'Lovers in Japan' were orgasmic.
Only complaint I could make were the people around me... I was the only one dancing and singing along! Everybody else was sitting down, stony faced. I was on the upper tier, left side when looking from the stage. I've definitely gotta go floor level next time!
Oh, as for support, there was a band called 'The Juniors', they were average, not bad but nothing special either. The abstract/trance/psychedelic dance guy was absolute rubbish. Especially the videos he was showing, absolutely awful. I was laughing at them with a girl in the seat next to me, who I'd never met before.
