Hey people,
So last night I went to my first Coldplay Concert. I totally dig the way Chris Martin bounces around the stage. I was so excited and pumped to hear each song that I didn't let the fact that cheap owners of the Forum couldn't find the extra cash to actually turn up the air conditioning. Cheese and rice, that was literally the hottest concert I have ever been to. Ah well, Mana and I still had a blast.
Other than the temp issue, here's my other observation. Half the people were so worried about getting clips on their cell phones that I don't even think they really saw the show. Come on people!, Chris Martin was sliding down the catwalk on his back and you missed it just to have bragging rights. In this current technologically enhanced world in which we live, one has to wonder if we are missing out on really experiencing things because we are hidden behind our cameras and cell phones. Like the guys of Switchfoot, I have vowed to limit the amount of pics I take at each event. I try to store all my wonderful experiences in my memory, and even a few here on my blog. :)
As for the show itself, it gets two Leah Thumbs Up for sure. Toward the end of the show, they proved that the crazed fans were no match for the security guards and played two songs from a tiny little stage set up by the cheap seats! Nice for those in that section.
Here was the playlist. All my favs included :)
