Totally unexpected since I was volunteering for Oxfam and was told that we get the seats that no one bothered to purchase..or something like that. I almost cried when I saw how close to the stage I was. Everything about the show was amazing...from Chris reading the Philadelphia Inquirer on stage to some amazing drumming courtesy of Will Champion. Chris was careful not to mention Obama, claiming that the band was non-partisan, but he made up for it by saying Democrats are intelligent. I'm not completely certain but I think I shared a moment with Guy during In My Place . My section had tons of energy, which made the experience even better. The crowd went crazy for Viva La Vida, and it was indeed a lovely performance. The butterflies during LiJ were incredible! Yellow was a great way to end the show and I couldn't have asked for more! Oh, A BIG SHOUT OUT to the sign gang, I saw you guys with your signs in the air....good job.

Aww, thanks Angie. It was nice to see you again. I enjoyed listening, trust me!!!! No worries. I would have spazzed out a bit more, too but I was so tired.
I told Wilson he ought to feel honored you were in our car since you are a legend.

GAH! Angie, they came so close!

there is no way i will ever miss a coldplay concert if its in my area. not that i ever have since 2005 when i'm in the country, but jeez. they're just too fucking amazing. they make my academic career go down the tubes and my bank account bone-dry, but i don't care.

seats this time were...slightly different than what i had last time . i wasn't able to scout out any nice roadies, but hey, i got lucky once. these seats were pretty good too, thanks to the lovely jenn annie (starlight) . the photos i took are pretty much all shite, and the few videos i took, i mostly took for audio purposes because my camera has a surprisingly good microphone. i'll post those later, if people are interested.

i thought the crowd was a bit of a strange one--you could tell that at least in my section, there weren't a lot of diehards there. people seemed to get more excited when chris mentioned the phillies or when jonny came out with his shirt than when they started up a well-known song or something. i guess the phillies fever is still strong.

i loved chris's political comment this time; it was particularly scathing in the exact right way, in my opinion. i have to youtube to see if i can find the exact quote, but it was something like "just because we're intelligent, thinking people doesn't mean we're democrats necessarily, right?" i bet he pissed off a lot of people in that crowd, but i thought it was brilliant.

i realized that on sunday, being so close, i missed a hell of a lot. it was nice to be able to see the guys on the ramp and on the C stage, and the monitors...the quality of those things! i've never been to a concert with HD-quality video on the monitors, and it blew me away. they could just record whatever they put up on those screens and release it as a DVD and it would be fabulous.

the one thing i would say that is sort of negative is that i wish the guys trusted themselves enough to shake up the setlists a bit. i think they're capable of it, definitely, and sometimes i wish they would pull out an old, well-loved song that no one's expecting. i also think they could play for longer, but i can cut them some slack on that . they do this every night and need their rest, plus they all have families etc.

i was thinking a lot about how awesome these guys are on my long drive home last night. i won't go too cheesy on you, but they really mean a lot to me. becoming a coldplay fan and joining up to this site has changed a hell of a lot in my life, and it's most certainly one of the best things i've ever done

i'm in serious concert withdrawal now, though. it's going to be painful. and from now on, i'm going to try my damndest to get floor seats as close as i can. that first night of mine in NJ was the most epic thing i've ever been to. if angie can do it, so can i

oh! and there was bat confetti at the DC concert on halloween, but there were a few left over pieces in philly last night, because i somehow managed to scoop up two purple shiny bats! i didn't even notice until i was flattening out and de-crinkling my butterflies this morning, but i got two bats and a shiny red heart!

You know, I was just re-watching that video of the band coming offstage, and realized you caught me on camera! I'm the idiot on the far side of the ramp jumping like a loon, right next to the two (really taller than me) security guys in maroon shirts
