So the floor seats weren't worth it? I originally wanted floor seats but ended up getting lower level, which was great in the end. I've never had floor seats so I was wondering.

She was just AWFUL

And the floor seats are only good if you are very tall. Otherwize you cant see a damned thing. I ended up wishing I had lower level seats.

Woah woah woah, back up. A girl jumped out and KISSED CHRIS? I need full details here man! Come on! Where did she kiss him? Did he try to stop it? What was the reaction of Chris, the guys, the crowd?

I may need to pull this on JB.

But probably not because I'm too shy.

But DETAILS MAN! And video would be nice too!

Thanks.

All right, it all happened very quickly.
The guys were running thru the crowd and as they got up a couple of steps some girl jumped at Chris from his side. She reached out and grabbed his face and just gave him a peck. He didnt even miss a step. The crowd didnt care, they were all too shocked that they could reach out and touch the band. But it happened quickly, but yeah, someone got a kiss

Sorry, no pics or video from me

That's funny.

ailene90 · 03-08-2008, 06:41 AM

WOW I didn't notice that a girl got a kiss. Damn her lol. I was too busy drooling over the band's closeness in general. I wanted a touch!

Comments on Openers and "no encores"

On Openers:

"That Santogold chick or whatever her name was...yes she was VERY annoying. I was bopping my head to the music, but I think it was honestly because i am very sleep deprieved and if I didn't otherwise, I would have fell asleep."

I think the perceived lack of quality of Coldplay's opener's is due to two factors:

1. They tend to pick acts which differ a great deal in style from their own music, are considerably less mainstream then them, or who are in general not well known. This creates a situation wherwe said opener is not to the taste of a great deal of Coldplay's live audience.

2. Related to the above, most of these acts don't have a sound that works well in arenas. Personally, I like Santogold, but that music is better played in a smaller space.

ON "no encores"

I've been puzzling over this since it first popped up on the 2nd night Toronto thread. This morning however, I was finally able to contact some friends who were at that show and after hearing a detailed description of the set, I think I get it now.

The band is playing virtually the same 20 song set (notwithstanding the changes) that it has since the beggining of this tour leg. Even if they are not leaving the stage, the show was always structured as 19 songs with DAAHF as the lone encore. The addition of green eyes and the new song were an added 2nd encore for some shows which has now seemingly been dropped. Mind you, I'm not saying you don't have the right to be mad at Coldplay for suspending the 2nd encore if you feel that way, but I do think it's important to note that they're not playing less songs now than they did the first night of the tour in L.A.

CRYSTAL · 03-08-2008, 06:48 AM

even i don't want to care whether that girl kissed Chris or not because i don't want to do anything to him forcefully because he himself looked at me straight at the 2 shows i went though.

and that's enough to me.

and congrats to her for kissing him.

i think the fact he wouldn't mind because he knows that a lot of girls in this world loves him and he knows who he saw at the shows,because if he doesn't have anything in his mind why he looks at me for some couple of seconds then?

Well that girl playing would have been awful no matter what. It was cheap, pointless pop/rap and I was suffering thru about 6 or 7 songs of it.

As for the encore, I understand about all that, I just dont get why they couldnt have just run off stage of Lovers in Japan and back on for DAAHF. It would have been the same number of songs, but it would have been more fun. I just wish theyd humored us.

I saw Coldplay on Wednesday in Toronto... Santogold was beyond awful... I had to leave during her set! However, they don't always have bad openers... ie: Last time I saw them in '06 they had Richard Ashcroft and that was effing beyond amazing, imo. There's been a few other good ones in the past, aswell. It's cool that they seem to try and give lesser known people a chance, but yes, it would be nice if they atleast compared in style...
