Coldplay is AMAZING!
So after weeks of anticipation, we finally got to Coldplay's concert and it was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Thanks also to the attendees: Beronica, Anaid, Aida and Alex!! It was also Alex's first concert so it was probably the best concert that he's ever going to have!
The day didn't start exactly as planned, had a few mishaps during the day and then the worst happened..... I left my phone at home. It was horrible, I went through all 5 stages of Grief. I was in denial for the longest time. I only got to acceptance when the concert started.
We didn't get to see the band that won that contest DC101 held. I think they played exactly at 7:30 but we weren't able to get there at that time because of the bomb threat...... Yes, bomb threat, I was going to be uspet if some Coldplay hater was trying to ruin my evening. The real opening act was this chick named Santogold who I thought was British till I wikipedia'd her, she's straight up American! Born and raised in Philly. (Fresh Prince's native land as well) She was pretty good, I heard some stuff from her before just because I knew she was the opening act. She did a song with Mark Ronson "Pretty Green" that I didn't know until today so now that I heard the song over, I could totally hear her singing that song. She's a cross between MIA, Nelly Furtado and No Doubt.
Then Coldplay started......It was such a good show, let me tell you, I want to become a drummer now more than ever after I saw this show. Will Champion is a beast!
Here's the set list:
Life in Technicolor
Violet Hill
CLOCKS
In My Place
Viva la Vida
Yes
42
Fix You
Strawberry Swing
then the second half of Yes
God Put a Smile on your Face
Square One
The beginning of the hardest part
Yellow
Lost!
The Scientist
Politik
Lovers in Japan
Death and all his Friends
We had pretty good seats and was really enjoying the show and then all of a sudden out of the corner of my eye I see someone start setting up a mic right next to us and then I'm like noooooo maybe they'll have the audience sing and they need mics set up but then other instruments came and I'm like noooooooooooooooooooooooo can't be. Then we heard a lot of rumbling and people asking and so I had some hope that they were coming to where we were sitting. All of sudden, they finished playing a song and they came running down the stage into the crowd, up some stairs and then in our section!!!!!!!!!! aww man, the magnitude of the screams were INSANE!
Yea, they were RIGHT THERE!!!!!!!!!
