!!!COLDPLAY!!!




WoW!!! I loved the Coldplay concert!!! Kyle gave me tickets for my birthday back in October and we went just a couple weeks ago and I still can't stop singing their songs and I still can't forget how amazing the concert was! I am a BIG fan of Coldplay, they are probably, yeah, my favorite band. Kyle loves them too and they are his favorite band too (or so he says). So when I found out they were coming to Salt Lake I hoped and wished that I would be able to go but never really thought it would happen. So when I opened the envelope with the tickets in it for my birthday, I was so shocked and excited I started to cry. =) He he, I know, cheesy, but I was SO excited! And man, tickets were expensive but it was SO worth it!!! We sat clear in the back tippy top of the Energy Solutions Arena (huge) but we still enjoyed the concert just as much from clear up there because they had an amazing set to look at- lazer lights, 2 huge screens that showed the concert close up, and 6 ball things hanging from the ceiling that projected the concert on them as well as cool designs like a kaleidescope, they also had some amazing camera work done by about 4 guys that were hanging from the ceiling as well- well, just see for yourself, there are only 2 guys pictured here, but there were more on the other side of the arena, I don't know if you can make out where they are, but they are sitting in those black just underneath that long beam:You have to tilt your computer to the left to see this one, but this is a video of some of their camera work they did, all of it is live! They are just jumping back and forth between cameras and it looks like they edited it with a computer but it was totally live!



And on top of all this coolness their music was even better than it is on the CD, even his singing. WOW. I loved it!!! Thanks Kyle for the coolest birthday present ever!!!! I had so much fun! Enjoy these videos and pics:

The ball things hanging from the ceiling:

A couple more videos of some of the songs they sung. The first one is their opening song they played. Sorry about all the screaming, I was so excited! I hope you can get a feel of how cool this concert was from watching these videos. =) The second video is of one of their more famous songs that you probably all recognize, it's called Clocks, and the last video is their newest song called Viva La Vida.
