hi everyone!I'm a newby here but I've been following coldplay since 2002...I am italian and attended Barcelona's concert last friday, and I have to say that I only partially agree with some comments I've read on the press....the show wasn't as bad as it's been pictured. There were sounds problems, for sure, but I wouldn't say it was a crappy performance from the guys....I enjoyed myself so much!Maybe because it was only my 2nd concert, and since 2003 I was desperately craving to see them live again...but I enjoyed every second of the show. The fact I was in the front row may have helped me to listen better, I didn't perceive seriouss sounds problems-just a couple coming from Chris' guitar on life in technicolor I and Violet Hill, and half of strawberry swing sounded like "drowned"- a pity because I love this song so much!
but overall, I loved the way Chris interacted with the crowd, his cute spanish (though when explaining the ola and nobody followed him, he said "my spanish is fucking terrible, man!":laugh3::laugh3:), the setlist...everything. It wasn't the perfect concert, but to me, after such a long time, it was ok!
though,I do understand the disappointment of other people in the stadium who couldn't follow properly the concert....
