Open Up Your Eyes

Coldplay was amazing last night! They opened their set with "Life in Technicolor" an instrumental intro to their latest album Viva la Vida, and there was an instant boom of energy in the room! That energy defiantly lasted all night. The best part of the whole show however was during the middle of their set they all start to run off the stage and head our way. I look to my left and see there is another stage with 4 acoustic guitars sitting no more than 10 feet away! I flipped out! (I swear to God I'm such a girl.) From there they played the scientist and they're drummer sang a cover song. It was seriously the most amazing show I've ever been to.

Chris Martin is one the best showmen I've ever seen perform and he had great add-libbing skills. For instance is the song Politic, he says "Give me us, don't give me them, Give me Kid Rock and Eminem" or in God Put a Smile on Your Face, he says "I've gotta say, I'm on my way, to mo-town" hahaha. It was great.

For those who are not too fond of Coldplay, that's alright, it's your loss ;) But the coolest thing about their live performance is that they really do they're best to make everyone feel a part of something, and that's pretty hard to do when there's 1500+ people, but they accomplish it. I suggest you open up your eyes, and your mind and take a good listen. I think you'll come around.
