Coldplay Concert 7.14.08




It's a monday and my wife and I are getting ready to go to the Coldplay concert at the Forum and we were excited to go see them live after a long time of waiting. Chely on a previous blog wrote that she was going to drag me to the Coldplay concert just like I dragged her to the Pearl Jam concert. Personally I was stocked about it. So we get the forum and buy our food and drinks anxiously waiting for Coldplay to hit the stage. The concert is kicked off with a D.J playing techno/jungle/beats with a large screen displaying animations that were skinned to the music. I guess it was alright. The second act was pretty cool, they kinda sounded like R.E.M with the voice of Pink Floyd's David Gilmore; they were done around 8:20pm. Finally after a long 1 hour wait which by the way felt like the longest 1 hour ever; the lights turn off and the crowd goes nuts over the back round music that's slowing getting louder and louder and you start to see the band members on stage playing the first song of the night. Here's a brief video of Chely rocking out to Viva La Vida...



We're really looking forward to another Coldplay concert; next up is Jack Johnson in San Diego. Maybe this one might be the concert Chely is dragging me too... haha... I mean, I do like some of his songs but I just can't see myself jumping up the boogie to Jack Johnson. Here's another video. I found these links on you tube of the concert (not taken by us , but it was the same concert we attended)boo! http://youtube.com/watch?v=X3ad_ZvM2to & http://youtube.com/watch?v=1HzA-B_9stA
