Seriously people, if you ever get the chance to see these guys in concert...it's worth every penny. I loved this show! I am not one to go goo-goo, gaa-gaa over any singer or band, but this concert seriously ROCKED! The highlights from Saturday night:
- We had most excellent seats! Row 13 in the lower bowl, right next to the stage. They had walkways set up so the band could walk out into the crowd on the floor and the one right by our section had a piano at the end. Chris Martin sat and played a few songs and he was literally straight in front of us. I was kicking myself the whole time because I forgot my camera. I could have taken a close up of his face, and posted it here...But since I didn't, this will have to do:
- Later the band disappeared off stage and reappeared at the back of the arena where they ran up into the lower bowl to around row 20 and sang a few songs in the middle of the crowd. Very cool. How awesome it would have been to be sitting there?!
- Very cool props and such. They had big screens set up so every seat had a good view. They dropped these paper leaves during "Lovers in Japan" that glowed in the dark with black lights...like confetti...you can tell a lot of money goes into the show.
- They totally love their fans. This makes them a great band in my eyes. I know they have a bad rap as being arrogant, but I really think they just treat the media this way because the media is so obnoxious! Who wouldn't? These guys are truly talented...especially Chris Martin. I love me a man that plays the piano...and has a rockin' voice...and a British accent...

Oh, the jealousy! You're really making me regret that I didn't just man up and buy tickets to this. But ... I just couldn't face Aaron and request this night out when I had just blown 50 bucks on New Kids on the Block. Yes, you heard me NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK ... 20 years from the last time I saw them. Ah, wasting money for "old times sake!"
So glad you had a good time! I think of you whenever I hear these guys.
I am seriously jealous!!! come on now, this has to be one of the best concerts ever!
i can't believe they came and sat w/the crowd. that makes them even more amazing in my book.
