This is the band on the main stage, and some laser action there across the middle:
This is the band on a little side stage. The floor was lit up disco style and they had a piano there... can you see it? The little box on the light box - lower right:
And near the end of the show they all ran off stage & reappeared at the back of the stadium. They ran up into the stands where there were 4 empty seats, a few instruments and a microphone. The spotlight followed them up into the stands and they played 3 songs there near the back. Chris said it was the part where they all played instruments they didn't know how to play (all but one guy who he said can play anything). He said it would sound terrible but be full of passion & soul. It was fun.
It was a really good time. I've seen 4 other shows at Energy Solutions arena: The Cure, Def Leopard, Oingo Boingo & Pearl Jam. I'm not a huge fan of the venue since typically the sound quality sucks, but it was a damn good show. I had a damn good time.
Here's me & Anthony in the stands in the dark. I know, I should really sell these photos to a magazine huh?
That was an awesome show! Worth every penny. I could have done without the second opening act, but other than that it was incredible. They really did a great job! I can't wait to see them in concert again.
ReplyDeleteCOLDPLAY ROCKS!! One of my favorite bands-just downloded their new EP (Amazon 99c if ur ogin legal). I missed them live when they came to KC-looks like u had a blast!
ReplyDeleteDid Chris Martin hump the guitar player from behind like he did when I saw them perform a few years ago? I was a little weirded out by that, I have to admit.
