While I had heard about their great live shows, it still surpassed my expectations. They were so so good. It was basically the definition of "stadium status", and Kanye puts it. Every song they have seemed to fill the Garden and really show why they are arguably the biggest band in the world right now. Chris Martin puts so much into every show and you can tell. He dances and goes nuts when he's not playing piano, had great crowd interaction, and was a really funny, down to earth guy. Right before they go offstage for the first time, the band runs into the back of a loge section to do 2 acoustic songs out in the crowd. Somehow, it was our lucky night, because it was our section. We were in the second row of the loge, but right on the aisle, so the band literally walked right past us. Kayla reached out and actually touched Chris Martin's hand, sending her into a frenzy, haha. It was awesome. The lighting rig was one of the best I've seen, and the glowing balls that hung from the ceiling and the screen in the background were so cool. The endless butterfly-shaped confetti that fell from the ceiling during Lovers in Japan was beautiful. Also, I don't know why it seems like Chris Martin's voice sounds a little off on TV, because he was perfect lastnight. Every step of the show was so well put together and well planned, and it went off without a hitch. They played for 2 hours in total, and it was 2 hours I'll always remember as being one of the best shows I've ever seen.Thursday, October 30, 2008
Coldplay Concert
Two huge shows at the Garden in one week?! Damn. So I saw Coldplay last night at the TD Banknorth Garden, where I was just 5 nights earlier for The Who. It was amazing, needless to say.
