:/ As a rock music fan of over 20 years standing and not being familiar at all with Coldplay's music, I thought I'd sit myself down the other night and watch the Sydney gig on TV just to see exactly what all the fuss was about.
Well after doing that, I just felt I had to take the time and trouble to register.
It was interesting. So Coldplay are at the forefront of modern rock and winning awards all over the globe, eh? Whoa folks - that is DEAD SCARY!
There used to be a phrase aired a while back to the effect that 'Would the last person to leave, please turn out the lights'.
Jeez, by the look of it the lights on the rock world have well and truly been switched off already.
God, how can I put this? OK - Rush in Rio is out now on CD and the double DVD is released next Monday. If you want to see a band truly uplift an audience and play with both passion AND compassion, THIS is where lessons can begin to be learnt!
