Wahey, last night I went to see Coldplay on the BBC! It was one of the most amazing concerts I have been to. As anyone who knows me will be aware, Coldplay are my favourite band and I have only seen them once (at Crystal Palace on 28th June 2006) and when we managed to get Guaranteed tickets for the small gig at the BBC I could not believe how lucky we were to get them.
As always I took plenty of pictures which can be found here: on my flickr photostream
The gig was fairly short (45 mins) but Coldplay exceeded my expectations, I have had the album on pretty much constantly since it was released and I was really looking forward to hearing some of the new material. My favourite song from the set has to be “Lost”, I loved this track on the CD, but to hear it live is something else.
The entire atmosphere was friendly but lively, with such a small audience it really felt personal and with people watching from outside (and from the building site) it made it something really special.
Chris Martin is quite an entertainer and his dancing always makes me smile, my favourite quote from Chris at this concert was “Hey, I can’t dance but at least I’m enthusiastic”*. I love dancing (I’m not necessarily a good dancer) but I think this proves – what does it matter??
I’m still excited about the concert and can’t wait to see them next time.. until then Viva La Vida!
*that quote is as I remember it, so I appologise if it is not the exact wording
