JUST GOT BACK!

AMAZING show. Yes- the setlist was predictable, and Yes- there was no encore.
But I have never heard Chris's voice sound so on point. The whole band was on top of their game tonight. They made it feel like a huge arena show but also like it was in your living room. Excellent and free.

bluexylophone · 24-06-2008, 06:11 AM

another thing
i don't know about you guys
but how awesome was Jon Hopkins?
god he was like Jonny Greenwood's brother up there
and the animation was dreamlike and oddly beautiful.

that was a great way to lead into the show.

i even liked a couple of The Blue Jackets songs. haha.

but yeah, Jon Hopkins = genius.

yeah i was in 201, the section right behind them ^_^

but my God... words cant explain how grateful i am to Tom. seriously, this was one of the best nights ever and i owe it all to him! THANK YOU TOM!!!!!!!

bluexylophone · 24-06-2008, 06:26 AM

201, nice

when i saw them come around to guys i was like, "wow.. this is something else"
and then Will sang! hahah man oh man. too good.

i can't wait for youtube videos, especially for Fix You.
that was probably favorite sing along at any show i've ever been to in my life
i got goosebumps.
and when the jumbo screen came on behind them...
i can die happy now. that was a beautiful experience.

but yeah. i'm off to bed now.
more tomorrow. haha.

again, Thank You Tom

Ebs757 · 24-06-2008, 06:30 AM

no videos.... hardly any decent pics and all this talk of an amazing show!

feylanks · 24-06-2008, 06:32 AM

i was nearby in 102, the path they took brought them within arms reach of us

the only photo i got of them was from my crappy cell phone though- i think you can kind of make out will's bald head but that's about it

i'll try uploading some of my videos in a bit

halokiti · 24-06-2008, 06:33 AM

I had a freak out when they went into the crowd during yellow, I was in section 128 aisle and ran down to try to get closer. It was almost as good as the last MSG when Chris was like 5 rows in front of me during "In My Place."

The place was more packed than I thought it would be, security was super lax, we didn't even put on our wristbands. I took my friend to his first Coldplay concert and he loved it. He also liked that for once he was in MSG for someone that doesn't suck like the Knicks.

I was so excited that I forgot what the set list was. My favorite songs live from this album is "Lost!" and "Viva La Vida." My pictures suck being in the section I was, but I'll put them up too so everyone can see the layout and stuff.

captnjeter · 24-06-2008, 06:35 AM

Great show. Wasn't too impressed with Jon Hopkins, but once they took the stage, Coldplay proved why they are one of (if not the) top band on the planet.

A lot of people were upset about the lack of an encore, but considering it was FREE, and I got to see one of my favorite bands, I didn't mind.

PS. How awesome was Chris after he screwed up on Fix You? That was great!
