Coldplay concert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.azcentral.com/ent/music/articles/0826coldplay.html Here is an article int the AZ site about the concert.
I don't know where to start!!!! I was so fucking amped that day, it was like a dream!! We went to Macayo cause it was happy hour and my sister's co workers were there. But I just wanted to fucking go!!! I wanted to check out the merchandise and everything. Get a feel for everything, let it all sink in.
We got there and Black Moutain was playing. I didn't really listen I was just anxious to see Coldplay! But they weren't very good. They showed a clip of MTF with What If? playing in the background but they didn't perform it. :(
And then finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The lights go out and the background huge screen is counting down minutes and the band is there except for Chris Martin!!! They started with Square One, which I love, and when Chris finally appeared...... I cried. LOL I know so lame but I was just so excited and they're my favorite band they're music means so much to me! I didn't like full out cry, I had tears and then pushed them back cause I'm pretty sure I was the only one. LOL I just started screaming like crazy and literally yelling out the lyrics to the song!! Good thing I listened to EVERY song weeks before the concert. I went prepared. LOL I thought Yellow came too soon, and the ppl weren't too excited for it. But I sang my heart out anyway. Oh and when he sang Speed of Sound, he said, “This is for Gwyn”. Awww, *tear*.
One of the BEST parts of the night was when he said Phoenix was the best show so far since they started the N. American tour!!!!!!! I was so fucking happy when he said that. And I looked on the Coldplay boards, and apparently he hasn't said it to other cities yet!!!! HA!! Chris was funny and he didn't talk much but damn he sang his heart out like crazy!! Before another song, he went into a rant about how he was reading Women’s Monthly, and they had an article about the top bands that you can see from afar. He said that apparently, they were #1. “You dont want to sit up here, we’re getting fat and ugly”. heh, yeah right. They played the song “‘Til Kingdom Come”, which was written for Johnny Cash. I loved this part, it had a personal feel to it. It was all 4 of them in the front in the dark with like one spotlight playing this and Ring of Fire. Then, they played my favorite song in the entire universe!!!!!! Don't Panic!!!!!!!!!!!!! I of coursed freaked and by this time my voice was all scratchy from singing. But I loved it and I did get teary eyed, just a little. I can't help it, I LOVE that song.
OMG!! And then when In My Place was on, he ran down and right by my section!!!!!!!! I officially lost it here, I was screaming and jumped on my chair and I sang like my life depended on it. LOL And the crowd went insane too!! The crowd was just so into that song!! I tried to take a picture of him cause he was so close but I was just stoked that I said oh fuck it, I'm going to enjoy this moment. But he was so close!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Maria who freakin moved! He ran right past her seat, since she was the last person, he ran right thurr!!! and she had moved!! AGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the end of the concert, a song played over the speakers “Good night… sleep tight…”, and Chris Martin started singing it, right into one of the cameras so that his whole face filled the screen.
Tozi's camera sucked but I found some from ppl who were front row and hell yea I'm using them!! Hey they said I could so.... But it was the GREATEST concert EVER and the GREATEST thing to EVER happen to me. I still can't believe I was there.
Clocks was also an amazing performance and the crowd went insane too. LOL Chris is so weird though, but I love it! I'm glad they ended with Fix You, even if it's a slow song, but it's my favorite on this album and it sounded so good too. It was perfect!!
I love how they're not about big special effects and more about the music. The lights were cool but no one really cared, they cared about the music!!! When the took pictures of the audience that was creative. LOL I wonder if they got me!!! Yea so I bought 2 shirts and MTF bracelet and stickers. It was more expensive than their website but I HAD to buy something at the concert. But I do want to buy the shirt I wanted but they didn't have my size.:( That's okay cause I'm going online to buy it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But it's still sinking in. LOL It just doesn't seem real!!
