Bolován was the opening band, they played 5 songs and after aprox. 30 mins Coldplay went out to stage! Remarks on Yellow where big balloons bounced from the top of the National Auditorium to the bottom, lasers at Speed Of Sound, madness at God Put A Smile Upon Your Face, acoustic performances of Til Kingdom Comes and Love Me Tender, awesome performance of Clocks, Chris Martin running from the stage to the middle of the National Auditorium where the consoles were located at In My Place and the little lamp at Fix You!
This time I was after the band all day so I arrived late at the show... I just missed Bolován but catched all the Coldplay GIG
Remarks through all the show! Daylight was changed for A Rush Of Blood To The Head where all the stage went red, absolutely deep! After the encore, Chris Martin introduced Jay-Z for a big surprise! We all were very exited to hear Beach Chair!!! In Fix You he mentioned this will be the last show in a lot of time, what a night!!!
Also, as something to mention! Before Coldplay began playing, the WHOLE National Auditorium began looking at the middle of the venue and pointing someone, after a couple of minutes the word spread and Gael Garcia was there, in the "LUNETA" section, next to the console, the audience went mad and after that people began running, we were very near the stage so we thought they wanted a pic from him, we were far from that place to see what happened, this morning I heard in the news that after he appeared Gwyneth Palttrow was sitting a few seats next to him... (And I never noticed it...) Now I understand why people went crazy!
After the show ended, the band went with Gwyneth, Ja-Z and... ¿Michael Stipe from R.E.M. ? to a private party somewhere in the city!
I was never able to catch the band close enough for a descent pic or an autograph, they were always at 3 vans and 2 police motorcycles (1 in the front and 1 in the back)
Seems that Coldplay left Brazil on March 1st very early and went directly to Nayarit, Nuevo Vallarta to celebrate Chris Martin's 30th Birthday!
After that they arrived to Mexico City on Saturday March 3rd to the Toluca's Airport with a lot of security, fans at the Mexico City's airport were notified by Coldplay's staff that the band was not gonna arrive through there. After arriving to Toluca, they went straight forward to the soundcheck at the National Auditorium, after 30 mins aprox (Or less) the band left in 3 vans and 2 police motorcycles and went to Four Seasons hotel, where they stayed until 7:30 PM aprox.
A lot of fans were there (Including me) and Jeff (Their manager) told us to make rows so the band can come out and take some pics and autographs... Then we just saw the band, we stayed quiet just as Jeff said but they just went directly into the vans and left right in front of us ...
On Sunday, Chris left the hotel to visit a Museum, in his return he signed some CD's for a couple of fans and went into the hotel again, at 4:00 PM the Press Conference took place inside the hotel, lasted for 30 mins aprox and around 5:00 PM the band left the hotel and went to the National Auditorium and they stood there because the show was an hour earlier that the previous one
Hehe, at Yellow Chris always punches the balloons so the little papers inside fly all around, in this show he tried to punch several balloons but he couldn't so he got mad and threw his guitar to the stage.... once again, the audience got crazy! Hehe

I don’t know how to start, but it was just too much, I don’t know if I want to shout Surprised , laugh Laughing , cry Crying or Very sad or every think at the same time. I think I really have an overdose and I’m shock. Shocked
I was trying to see them since Friday, although I after knew that they didn’t arrive to DF until Saturday midday. I didn’t saw too much that day, just the big black Chevrolet’s escorted by motorcycles of the police after the concert. Like I didn’t have tickets to the 3rd I went to the hotel to wait and try to get autographs. I couldn’t go to the concert, and besides some friends got meet and greet for that day, so I feel terrible sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad (My friends tell me that Guy didn’t appear because he was ill). Although this, we wait and later Jonny and Will went out after the concert. Like we found out where they went we try to follow them and although it was a bar they where in a private party so we left because we were really tired. I feel so sad and tired. I’d wish some day I’ll get a meet and greet, but a special one to take a bear with them. That would be really cool, don’t you think, jajaja!!! ohhh could you imagine to be in a sound check, that would be a freaking amazing meet and greet!!! Cool Razz
But the 4th arrive and here comes the good part. Around 1pm I went to the hotel there was just 8 people and ohhhhh my God!!!!!! I don’t remember well but I think it was near 1:30 pm Chris go out and give us autographs, I was so happy and shock, I was not able to ask for a pic or anything Shocked , nobody did in fact, at least I was able to give him a birthday card and something more that I wrote. Then he went to the car and left and we all start to laugh, and I also cry!!! I was so nervous that my legs were trembling. Finally the concert time arrive and OHHH JESUS!!!! It was fucking amazing. Chris tells us he had had a fucking amazing birthday in Mexico and he said thanks to us, and he try to speak Spanish several times, quite good in fact, and I even understood his English!!!. It was the best concert of my life (since I will go to another Coldplay concert of course). I just sing and shout and sing and shout and jump and cry and jump, Will was amazing I couldn’t stop jump with the drummers and I remember everything was amazing, the big balloons of colors in Yellow, the red stage for Talk, the big crescendo in Clocks, and Chris dragging in the floor and jumping and dancing all the time, and Jonny played the piano and Guy with the harmonica, they played Love Me Tender, and the lights and then the big big surprise Jay Z!!!!!!!!!!!! Could you believe it, Jay Z singing with Coldplay!!!! It was freaking awesome!!!! and I still can’t believe I was there, I saw it. It was still more amazing when some friends told me that Gwyneth, Michael Stipe and Beyonce were between the public, also Gael Garcia Bernal but I know that.
Well I just want to finish with a big big thank you to Chris, Jonny, Guy and Will, for the awesome concert, the astonishing surprise and for all that amazing music. I LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH!!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST. Exclamation Exclamation Exclamation
I have needed a whole day to recover me for all that emotion and overdose of Coldplay. I was shock with happiness Laughing and also with sadness Crying or Very sad because now it’s over for a while. I wish… I don’t know…too many things. Rolling Eyes
Coldplay forever, Coldplay touch my heart, Coldplay is running through my veins. There is nothing better than Coldplay.
Someone else has felt like that?
