Coldplay was supreme. So supreme I am actually blogging about it. Generally speaking, when asked to list my top 5 bands, I never put Coldplay in there but when push came to shove (i.e. at the concert) – I knew all the words to their songs – who knew.
I almost fainted when they performed Fix You, which is my ultimate favourite Coldplay song – I have to really give props to the audience who sang along, most enthusiastically, to every song. With the first encore song being The Scientist, I think I was ready to slide out of my chair (though I technically only sat during the brilliantly performed The Hardest Part – cos he asked everyone to. If only they performed the Lost? version but did Lost! instead but equally as good). Had they had performed Warning Sign or Don’t Panic, I would have pissed myself – overall, the number 2 concert I have ever attended. The band was wonderfully warm and respectful of their audience, constantly thanking everyone for their Monday night. It was completely crazy when they had an acoustic set, standing in the middle of the audience, on the chairs. It was wonderful to feel that you weren’t just another stop on their tour. An amazing band live – I am so glad I went for this. Brill, brill, brilliant.
