If You Blog It, They Will Come: Coldplay.

This past summer Micah, Julie, Amanda, and I had tickets to see Coldplay in Cleveland, OH. Out of nowhere they decided to cancel their summer tour and we were all pretty bummed that we were going to miss out. A couple months later Micah and Julie got to see them in Toronto and said the performance was phenomenal. Toward the end of August I was talking to Micah on the phone and he mentioned they were touring again and were planning on coming to a couple cities near me. I decided to get tickets for the Philly show on November 1 knowing that we'd most likely be in the area for Halloween. We have been looking forward to the show for a couple months now and knew that it was going to be an awesome round 2 the night after a great halloween Friday (by the way, don't miss that blog when you get to the end of this one).

Somehow I ended up with some pretty cool tickets and we got to sit in a club box. We had our own little "private" area (with about 30 other people in our section) with a waitresses, a bar, and our own bathrooms. So our seats were pretty cool, but the evening was all about Coldplay.

All I can say is WOW. This was easily one of the greatest concerts I have ever been to. I didn't really know what to expect out of the performance, but I didn't necessarily anticipate that Chris Martin would have as much energy on stage as he did. He jumped, danced, played guitar, piano, and harmonica, and sang his heart out on just about every song. He is certainly one talented dude. It's actually kind of difficult to put into words how great this show was. The combination of the incredible music, the light show, and the crowd's energy amounted to a truly amazing experience. During "Fix You," my favorite Coldplay song, I literally had goosebumps from beginning to end.

As I said, it's kind of tough to describe how great the show was, so let's go to the pics...
