NIGHT ONE.
I went to the very first night of their Viva La Vida tour. It was at the Great Western FORUM in Inglewood,CA. I have to say, it was AMAZING. It was my very first time seeing Coldplay and it was everything I thought it would be and more. It was sold out so upon entering, the vibes were amazing. The crowd seemed very anxious for them to come out. I didnt catch the openers, I actually got into the Forum about 10 minutes before Coldplay came on. The lighting was unbelievable :thumbup:, the lasers went very well with the music. They had so much energy and I think they were definitely feeding off the energy from the crowd. The lighting, sounds and energy just made everything so much more enjoyable. Their visual effects were great as well. I loved how they didnt play only on the main stage. They set up a another stage somewhere in the middle of the crowd on the floor which was cool. And when Chris Martin got bored of playing on stage they ran all the way into the crowd and played Yellow Acoustically from what Chris called, the "cheap seats." I was a bit far as well but he was on the other side of the forum but I thought it was so cool that people had the chance to see them up close despite the fact that they were up in the "cheap seats." This has definitely been one of the highlights of my summer. They were amazing and even though it felt like they didn't play that long I was satisfied with the setlist. I also thought that the different pieces of confetti falling down during Lovers in japan made the song beautiful :]. They also have different scenes going on in the screen behind them. I know this is very vague but I'm tired but this was a great way to start their tour. :excited:
I'm pretty sure I got everything.
