I heard different things about the Irvine shows...Coldplay had tuning problems etc. was the crowd bad?
Also, It's so cool that Chris played Green Eyes! I thought he didn' t play that one anymore...good to see that was a rumor!
La is very spread out though and has many different cozy neighborhoods to settle down in. It's not the cramped city of NY but comprised of several beachy or tree lined streets where you can have an actual house with a yard and a protective wall.
But I agree! X&Y sounds way too mainstream . :cry: My favorite is still Parachutes. :D
