Coldplay: Viva La Vida!

Last Wednesday night, Anthony and I had such an awesome time! We had an opportunity to drive to Houston Wednesday afternoon in time for a Coldplay concert at the Woodlands Pavilion (which, btw, is an awesome venue)! Coldplay is one of my favorite bands and although I haven't been to that many concerts, I can honestly say that was one of the best, if not THE best, concerts I have ever been to. It was more than a concert, it was entertainment, it was a program, a spectacle, an all round amazing show. It surely didn't hurt that we were a few rows from the front!

During Yellow, they released huge yellow balloon type balls filled with confetti into the audience for us to hit around and play with.

Mid-show, they ran to do a set in the middle of the ampitheater. This is them coming right by where our seats were from the stage and heading to the middle of the ampitheater. Chris Martin (lead singer) is in the purple. My dumb camera (although it takes great pictures), takes a few seconds to process the picture, so that was the best I could get of them. By the time it processed, and I was ready to take another snapshot, they had already passed by. They were walking so fast! It would've been nice if they would've stopped to chat a while, right?! (Yes, that's sweat on his pants! We thought it was a design or something..)

At one point, they even made tribute to Michael Jackson by singing Billie Jean. Lovers in Japan ended with rainbow butterfly confetti being shot into the audience, as Chris Martin performed with a red Japanese umbrella.

After the concert, they also had free CDs of LIVE recordings of their top hits. If you're a Coldplay fan and ever are in an area where they have a concert, I would highly recommend going! Even if you aren't a fan! You'll become one after the show! Although the price is steep, it IS worth it. You could make a date out of it!
