Viva La Vida

Yup, it was pretty awesome. I would say better than the U2 show we saw last year, but I think Lach disagrees.

The opening band (Howling Bells?) was a little interesting - I think if they'd used Coldplay's sound guy it would've been a million times better (took a while to even figure out what the band was called...)

Then...Snow Patrol! They were GREAT. And I didn't know I liked Snow Patrol that much, but they were really cool and got the crowd going. And somehow I knew more of their songs than I thought I did. lol

Coldplay. Wow. Seriously, best concert I've been to...so far. So entertaining - staging, musically, everything. They had giant yellow balloons bouncing around during 'Yellow'. When they burst, butterfly cutouts fell from them. They also had a huge globey thing that they beamed images of the concert onto. It was way cool. Our friends Kirsten and Nicole had choreographed dances to some of the songs earlier in the day, in order to learn the words - well, they got the chance to bust them out (for 'Lost')! They had tickets at the floor level and I can only imagine it was totally awesome down there! At one point the band came up to the back end of the arena and played a few songs including 'Green Eyes' and 'I'm a Believer' cover. We could SEE them! It was so fun. They laughed and had a good time, so we all had a good time! I just loved how they DIDN'T just play their songs how we hear them on the radio/cd, they added bits, took away bits, played them faster, sang words about sitting at the back of a Coldplay concert/Vancouver.

When we left, we got to go on radio (Fox i think) to say how cool the concert was! Such a fantastic night...I think I like Coldplay more than I did before! haha
