Coldplay: Gods Doesn't Even Begin to Cover It


I saw Coldplay last night and it was the one (if not) the greatest experience of my life. I had like a cosmic mind meld with the band and I was on such a sensory overload I could have done that forever. They have been my favorite band since I was in like the 4th grade and the last time I saw them was nothing short of horrible( for me- the band was still amazing). So when my mom sprung surprise tickets on me and my friend I was STOKED. I jumped up and down started screaming and everything. Several outfit changes and 24 hours later I was walking into the Home Depot Center for one epic Evening.

The Concert it’s self was amazing. I felt like I was one with them and the concert and I achieved like Zen while I was there. I am still in shock and at a loss for words a day later. They played all my favorite songs (save 2, which they came back on for an encore and did) and I was singing (shamelessly) at the top of my lungs to every song. (They had a random moment where they sang Billy Jean, an improvised love letter to LA,and the drummer (who is quite good) sang, in the audience.) Our seats were great (aside from the pot heads behind us) and I was in awe when they walked right by us. My faveorite moment is hard to pin point because the whole thing was a life time faveorite moment, but it has to be when they shot confetti into the audience during Lovers in Japan (i have a whole bag full of saved confetti), when the ran right by us, or when they sang The Scientist (my personal faveorite song). My least faveorite moment had to be sitting in the three hour gridlock to get their but IT WAS ALL WORTH IT. Being so close to Chris Martin didn't help my Hero-worship/crush but I suppose that comes with the territory. AHHHHHHOMGITWASSOMINDBLOWING. I uploaded all my videos and pictures so you can vicariously live through me. I will not-cannot- write a review for this concert because that would be doing it a disservice saying it can in fact be reviewed. It was just too amazing. 10 bazillion golden feathers out of 5.
