The opening band, Shearwater, was not my cup of tea. That's putting it mildly. I clapped furiously after their last song because I was so happy they were done.
It got later and later, and we wondered when Coldplay would take the stage.

Then the band bid us farewell and ran off the stage.
Very good show.
I enjoyed the picture of your phone the most. =)
ReplyDeleteDitto what Jane said. When are The Monkeys going on tour? Oh wait. . . I guess we first have to think up a band name that hasn't already been taken.
ReplyDeletestill.jealous.
ReplyDeleteahh! love them live. i only have my laziness to blame for not getting tix.
ReplyDeletelove the phone picture, too. mine is an e pic. so uncreative.
Oh, The Scientist, how it kills me so. I think it's more my memory of the video than the actual song though. Glad you had a good time.
ReplyDeleteAw, your phone pic was super cute! I really like how crisp the b&w looks...
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the video of "Trouble," my favorite Coldplay song ever. :)
If I didn't know you - I sure would want to!
ReplyDeletei saw this creepy thing in us weekly about how chris martin looks exactly like gwyneth paltrow's brother. try to put it out of my head when I hear coldplay. such lyrics. did i tell you i want to write music? another one of my pipe dreams. hilarious cuz I'm not into music at all ;)
