I'm really glad they've gone back to playing The Scientist on piano. Even when Chris came back out to tell everyone about LeftRightLeftRightLeft, they kept walking. It's disrespectful to walk out when the band has two songs left to play. I couldn't help giving them the finger as they walked by. A lot of people started leaving after they finished Death And All His Friends. (They were talking about me of course, not Chris). I managed to get about ten feet away from the band in a big sweaty mob of teenagers screaming "OMG HE'S SO HOT!". When Coldplay started moving towards the c stage, there was a huge rush to get over there. They were mostly newer fans whose first Coldplay song was Viva la Vida. This really disappointed me, but it explained why the crowd was so weak. When Viva la Vida started playing, the crowd was at it's loudest. After the song was over Jonny pointed out to him that it was a Thursday. The look on Chris's face was priceless he had no idea what we were saying. I laughed pretty hard at that, but maybe you just had to be there to find it funny.Īt one point, Chris asked if everyone was ready to be louder than they'd ever been on a Friday. One highlight was during a song (can't remember which one), Chris introduced Jonny as "the nicest man in the world.Mr Jonathan Buckland.he's 15 years old!". Coldplay came on just in time, right at 9 o'clock, and that was when they finally shut up. When The Blue Danube came on, the crowd was still yapping and not even paying attention or clapping or anything. I didn't mind really though, because despite the fact that they were a third the price of my Verizon Center tickets for the past two shows, the front row of the lawn had a hell of a lot better view than those seats. It ended up being the one with the tent over it, but I had assumed that area was for something else.I know, I'm an idiot. I gave it my best guess and ended up picking the wrong blue tarp. When I first got a view of the lawn I saw 4 or 5 blue tarps with security guards around them, not 1 like I was told. I was one of the first 10 or so people in and we all sprinted to get our front row spots on the lawn. They ended up not opening the gates until around 5:45. We were pretty close to the front of the line, and it really started to get packed once we got there. We got there around 4:30, then headed over to the venue immediately. Oh and the hardest part really showed how great chris and will are in harmony! The band walked right past me on the way to the back stage!! As an aside wtf is with people getting super drunk at a coldplay concert?! There were 50 year old women jumping up and down dancing during every single song!! above me - I think he was talking about the little thing chris sang while will was tuning his guitar, not will's song Favorite song would have to have been green eyes, lovers in japan, or the scientist. They seemed kind of out of it but it barely showed at all, though I was thinking there would be two true encores - didn't really consider the first bit an encore lol. First coldplay concert and it was amazing! Everything, the band, the venue, the setlist, the crowd, was all great. Billie Jean was cool, as well as a little improv harmonica song Chris did while they were out on the lawn playing the acoustic set. They made off like bandits.No real changes from the typical setlist. Then, when he was throwing the tympani stick, it bounced into the same guy's hand! And at the end Jonny walked up to my other friend and GAVE him his pick, straight up handed it off to him. Two of my friends were in the pit - Chris Martin high-fived one of them. Postcards From Far Away (piano instrumental)ĭeath Will Never Conquer (Acoustic, sung by Will) God Put A Smile Upon Your Face (techno version) In the meatime here's one right in front of tonight's C-Stage (about 6 hours too early). A problem with Twitpic prevents us from posting any decent live pictures (due to Twitter's outage yesterday), so we'll have much better pictures later on Friday. No major changes to the arena/amphitheater setlist as Billie Jean replaced I'm A Believer in the acoustic set again. The Coldplay-shaped puppets were last seen enjoying themselves on the Coney Island rides - see those pictures after the jump. Coldplay's Viva La Vida tour is closing in on its conclusion to the third North American leg as they played at the Time Warner Cable Music Pavilion in Raleigh, NC last night.
