Fan Reviews
All fan reviews have been submitted to us by the members of Coldplaying.com[1], unless stated otherwise.
My husband and I agreed to go the AAC early yesterday to see if we could run into the band before they entered the arena. We honestly had no idea what we were doing or where we were going...but we were determined to try! We parked and walked over to the arena around 2:00. It didn't look good at first; there was no obvious entry point for the band. We continued to circle around the arena and we ended up seeing a sign for the Best Buy Reward Zone meeting area. We actually bought our tickets through the Best Buy thing, although we were pretty sure that we weren't invited to any sound check party.
Since we were already there, we just made the decision to stay and see if we could get in. They were starting to check people in around 3, so my husband ran to the car to drop off our stuff (we had brought a backpack full of books to read because we thought we'd be sitting around for hours!). Once he came back, we went up to the tent. We weren't on the list, but we begged the guy who was in charge to let us in. Unfortunately, he said he wasn't going to be able to let us in. We started to walk away dejected. I stopped and turned, we saw a women walking quickly toward us. She asked if we were big fans of the band, which was probably obvious considering I was wearing a homemade "V" shirt and carrying a copy of VLV on vinyl, and then I noticed she had two passes in her hand! She was letting us in! I couldn't believe it and we were both so excited. She told us we were going to watch the sound check and then get to meet and take pictures with the band...we were sooo extremely lucky and she was sooo nice to let us in. So, we had to wait about 30 minutes, get our security lecture from Jackie (who was awesome!), and finally, we all got marched into the arena and sat down.
Once we got in, the whole thing was a little weird because the Best Buy people were very strict with us. We didn't get to sit in front of the band, as you'll see from the pics of the sound check, but we were sitting on Jonny's side of the stage a couple of levels up. I guess it’s understandable, and regardless, it was still really amazing that we got to be there in the first place! The band came out about 15 minutes later; Chris said hi and made some jokes (which you can see in the sound check videos someone already posted). They checked Life in Technicolor II, Prospekt's March, played Green Eyes by request, and practiced Violet Hill. Their run-throughs of the new songs were great. Even so, Chris apologized several times for the sound check; it was really funny. When they were done rehearsing, they walked to the middle of the floor for the pictures. The Best Buy folks called us down one row at a time, and we were in the second row.
When it was our turn to walk up, I got very, very nervous. I never thought for a second that we'd actually meet them that day! I walked up to Will and shook his hand, and said, "Hi Will". He smiled and said, "Hi, nice to meet you" and it seemed that he liked the fact that I knew who he was. Next was Chris, and having a huge crush on the man, I shook his hand and said, "Hi Chris" and kind of stopped cold from shyness right in front of him. He smiled at me, and then I saw him do a double-take at my shirt. He said, "You have a V on your shirt", and I smiled and said, "Yes, I do!” Then he said, "I like that" and I said, "Thank you!” He was very sweet to me. I was far too embarrassed to say anything else and by then it was time to take the pictures. I was just kind of standing there lost in my own world, and then I felt these hands on my arms, and I was like, "WTF?” Then I heard Will's voice! He was positioning me for the picture! He told me, "You can move up into this little spot" and guided me there. Realizing that Will had just man-handled me in the absolute nicest way possible and then having the first picture taken; I had a feeling I had this weird look of disbelief on my face. And, you can absolutely see that in the first picture especially. Also, my husband hoped that at least one of his opinions would make it into this review, so here it is: "Will is the champion...the champion of kindness!”
While I was standing there in between pictures, I could turn my head and see Guy right over my left shoulder and Jonny standing just on the other side of him. One thing that surprised me about all of them, but especially Guy, was how thin they looked in person. Also, that Will and Jonny seem to always look the same (they looked the same in pictures as they do in person), Guy looks very handsome up close, and Chris looks so completely normal, just like a regular guy you might see out somewhere. At one point, I heard Chris and Guy talking about how "bizarre" the strictness of the event was, and in my opinion they seemed kind of put-off by how fast it was all moving. We took 3 pictures total, and in the last one I looked back at something (I don't even know what), but it looks like I'm looking at Chris, so it's very, very funny to us. My husband is the one standing to the left of Will in the back row. The whole thing happened so fast that when the pictures were over, I was so happy about talking to Chris and the thing with Will, that I completely forgot to shake hands with Guy and Jonny. We got back to our seats and a few minutes later, all the groups were done. The guys started to walk backstage, and Chris walked by the crowd and thanked us for meeting with them and said, "We like meeting people; we never get to meet anyone. It's very lonely!" or something to that affect. We left the stadium close to 5:30.
My husband and I went back to hotel to change and refresh ourselves from the day’s events, and got back to the arena just as Jon Hopkins took the stage. We were sitting on the floor right next to the sound booth. Jon's visual show was amazing! The illustrations were fascinating and the music was great. The boys took the stage around 9:12 or so, and as Life in Technicolor began, we saw a blond woman being ushered out right in front of our section toward the sound booth. It was Gwyneth! She was about 20 feet to our left and we could see her the whole time. We took a couple of blurry photos of her and a funny short video of her dancing at the end of "Viva la Vida". She sang along and bopped the entire time. The show itself was amazing...the band was on fire; Chris was charming and still making Joe the Plumber jokes, and talking about how bad the band smells. During The Scientist on the C-stage, he made the Guns N Roses - Dr. Pepper joke and ended the last line of the song with the beginning of GnR's Paradise City. The link to the video is at the end of this post.
Well, that's it...sorry it's so long! Here is the link to view my pictures. Oh yeah, on the way walking back to our car, we were walking by some fancy shops near the W hotel and we saw an art gallery called Christopher Martin's and had to take a picture of that too.

Ok, so Angie and I set off early for the long drive to Dallas. It didn’t take as long as we’d thought it would. The traffic had been kind to us. The weather was a tad warmer than in Houston, which was very nice and I didn’t need my jacket at all. I’d been whining about how cold it was in Houston [much to my host's annoyance. I know, us whinging poms never learn, eh?]. It was the wind made it chilly. I don’t know what I was complaining about because now I’m back home in England it is FA-REEZ-ING!
We met up with the lovely Lori [aka KissesBirds], who came down from Chicago to see the show. We got to the venue early with the hopes of maybe ‘bumping’ into someone, who could, maybe help us get tickets seated together. Angie had a good seat, but I was way at the back and Lori was up in the rafters. We located where Coldplay would be coming into the venue - all the lorries and buses were parked on the lower deck of the venue, near the train station. It didn’t take long for them to arrive in their convoy of black SUVs, looking all official and stuff. I didn’t know what to do with myself - I felt a bit dorky. I had a banner, which had ‘Glass of Water rocks!’ on it, but I didn’t get it out! I know, I’m a dodo [and, you guessed it, they never played it - yet again :(]. I’m praying that they bring it back into the set when they start the UK leg of their tour [please God!!]. The car with Chris and Jonny inside had blacked out windows. Apparently, Ms Paltrow was at the gig, so maybe she was in there with them. Will and Guy’s car had more lighter windows so you could see them. Franksy was riding in the car behind and was the only one who waved to us [geez, thanks!].
I went over to where the BestBuy stand was for those folks lucky enough to win tickets to Coldplay’s soundcheck party. There were two girls out there tending the stand and they said that people had already gone in. They were waiting for any stragglers, and there were still unaccounted slots on their list. There were also lots of laminates still available. Geez. I wanted one so bad, but they weren’t budging. Ok, I know when I’m not wanted….LOL! And by the looks of the photos floating about, there didn’t seem to be a lot of people there anyway, but seeing Coldplay rehearse ‘Life in Technicolor II’ and ‘Prospekt’s March’ would’ve been such a treat and worth the airfare alone. Thanks heavens for video…. To be honest, Coldplay have been more than generous to moi these past few months, so I really cannot complain…
The American Airlines arena looks like a train station from the outside - it is huge. On the south side of the building was a giant video screen, which was playing Coldplay’s 2003 DVD. At first there was sound, so I stood there and watched it for a bit. Then some numpty turned the sound off, so I left. There were small buses from two local radio stations, one of whom was 102.1 The Edge, I knew that one because of their Coldplay interviews so went over to say hi.They opened the doors earlier this time around. We went to check out where each of us were sitting. Where Lori was sitting was way way up the top, which gave me vertigo. I’m so glad I wasn’t sitting up there. We hung around Angie’s seat and were sitting together almost until Coldplay came on stage [one of the real owners of the seats who come along was built like a tank, so I wasn't going to mess with him]. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted…
Sleepercar were great. They were really rockin’. The front row near the stage was completely empty and then started to fill with all the lucky young girls and boys who got upgraded from the rafters. The squeals of delight were quite audible and really sweet. They were allowed to stand at the barrier, which they weren’t allowed to do at the Houston gig, which was also a result for them. I found my seat, which was on the end of a row towards the back. I had loads of room to get my dance on, which I did most vigorously. It was weird though because I was the only one. The people around me were standing still the whole time. And there were people behind me who sat through the whole show, motionless. It was as if they were sitting at home, watching it on TV - very bizarre. I hired a pair of binoculars because there was no way I would have been able to see anything - my eyesight is terrible. Coldplay were little blurry blobs on the stage. I did manage to get some decent pix/clips off the video screen though.
When the band came down to do their acoustic set. I got out my ‘Glass of Water Rocks’ banner, but there is no way they could’ve seen it, the writing wasn’t that big. Next time I’m taking a 20 foot banner with me! Oh yeah, Angie filmed the roadies dancing to the Jay-Z song before Coldplay came on stage - it’s a gem of a vid. One of them [I don't know his name] really has got some moves. They shine their lights around too, which I could see from where I was sitting. It’s nice to know that they are still enjoying themselves thus far into the tour. Angie also managed to score a setlist and the AAA passes chart [hmmmm....LOL!].
Another thing that happened was some idiot threw a glass of beer onto the computer consoles they use to operate the magic balls/lights. Gosh, some people are just so stupid. I would’ve loved it if they had been found and handed the bill….LOL! We went back to chat with Oxfam Pete, who’s been doing a sterling job managing the armies of Oxfam volunteers, as well as updating the Oxfam tour blog [thanks dude!]. There is one wise thing that Pete said in that, no matter where you sit at a Coldplay show, you will have a good time and he is absolutely right.
Coldplay Like God (Great Expectations)
As I was sitting at Coldplay, I realized that they were like God. Wait, before you question whether or not I’m pulling my golden calf out of the furnace, hear me out.
When I went to see Coldplay for the first time a few weeks ago, I was expectant but had no idea what those expectations looked like. I knew it would be good, but I didn’t know HOW good. My seats were perfect too. I had a perfect view of the stage, great acoustics, and they even came out from the stage to the tier right below me. I had paid 2nd tier prices for 8th row seats (well, for at least 2 songs) A-mazing…I almost cried at one point. I can’t even explain the emotion I felt because of my life situation at that moment. I was with one of my best friends, away from work (destressed), and in sunny Florida sharing space with Chris Martin. Does it get better??
Well, if one show is good, isn’t a 2nd show better? That was my mindset as I bought one lonely ticket to the Dallas show for that next week (that was all they had left, I might add). I fought traffic solo, parked, bundled up in the wind, and braced myself for the hike to my nosebleed seats that I swear were situated in the Himalayas. In fact, I was in what I call the “echo nook” of the AAC—it trapped all the echoes and bounced them back and forth like a game of “keep away.” Only, I was the sad little kid in the middle. Not good. I certainly enjoyed the performance, but I honestly felt a little slighted. At one point I thought, “I’m sure glad I had Orlando because I know they sound better than this (and for the record, it was still phenomenal). I kind of felt sorry for the folks who experienced Coldplay like that. I watched as some walked out early and others left to use the bathroom in the middle of ‘Fix You’ (what?!) Part of me wanted to stop them and start explaining how amazing it could be. What good would that do? It doesn’t change their experience…but it also doesn’t change the truth that Coldplay is much better than this. It was all a matter of distorted experience and circumstance.
THAT is when I realized how much this is like my feelings toward the LORD. How often do I come to Him with a plan already mapped out, expectantly waiting for Him to “recreate” His 1st performance by my standards. But, by the nature of location and emotional circumstance, it is never what I expect (even if it was the exact plan I’d had—it wouldn’t meet my precise expectations). Just as a music note travels a different path in a different venue, so God cannot be measured or calculated. We can never guess the mind and plan of the LORD.
Even when my experience with Him tells me that He “let me down” or failed my great expectations, it doesn’t change the Universal Truth of His promises or how magnificent He is. He makes no apology for where you are sitting—how close or far depends on you. If you put yourself in a nosebleed echo chamber, the fault is not His. That same dissonance you hear from there is a spine-tingling masterpiece to those in correct proximity. God designed you to sit on the front row of creation; Himself, center stage. That scenario is the best, but certainly not the only one. I often feel the need to “explain Jesus” to people (or really, stick up for Him), as if He needs ME as His PR person [insert belly laugh here].
I believe I need to keep myself in the front row and allow Him to blow my mind instead of trying to recreate 2nd rate, calculated experiences full of human expectation. I also feel I should start pulling people from the rafters and offer the front row ticket Jesus bought with His life. They need only to pick it up at ‘will call’…

Coldplay Is Frighteningly Good Live
Dear gentle readers: Welcome to my blog, where there is SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE. I saw Coldplay at the American Airlines Center last night (Nov. 19). Plenty 'o fun observations: miniskirts, boots and scarves seemed to be the popular items of the evening; my Viva La Vida (name of their album)T shirt was $35; i sat in the nosebleed seats but still had an OK view; the first two acts I didn't pay much attention to bc I was hungrily waiting for Coldplay; the first act was called Sleepercar, from El Paso; i had a hot dog and a Coke while I was waiting. Getting hungry so I'm going to make this post MUCH shorter than I wanted to (darn necessity for food). Coldplay played for about 1 hour, 45 minutes. During several songs Chris Martin skipped around the stage in a cute leather jacket and jeans (although my view was limited by being in Section 327). Coldplay did more new-album songs than older stuff. They played the two songs I wanted to hear the most, "42" and "Viva La Vida," off their new album. During one of the early songs, Martin gave a plug to "Medieval Times" (N. Stemmons Fwy) restaurant, saying it was near his hotel. OK, I'm there. You should buy Jimmy Dean's Breakfast Bowls, the pancakes and sausage one. They are delicious. Only takes a few minutes in the microwave. TARGET Tip of the day: I got some legwarmers there for $7.99. I got two pairs. I am going to write about my Writing Adventure soon. For you die-hard Coldplay fans, "you didn't get to heaven but you made it close," Peace, bbb

I Can Die Happy Now
There are moments in my life that I'm convinced that God looks over at the angels, grins and says "hey watch this".
Randy and I have had tickets to see Coldplay at American Airlines Center in Dallas since last June. The second they went on sale I bought them. Last night was the big night and we were so excited. However, I must have been due to be rear-ended in rush hour traffic because it had been a while since the last time. But of all nights for it to happen, this couldn't be worse. I was terrified I was going to miss the concert. Fortunately, the car drove fine after I exchanged information with the 19 year-old kid (who wasn't paying attention).
We made it in plenty of time to wish that the opening artist was on his last song and that Coldplay would take the stage. I sat there in my seat, wishing I was closer to the stage and being a little jealous of all the radio contest winners who were on the front row. It was as if God thunked me on the head and I realized I should really just be thankful that I was there in the first place.
The concert finally started and it was amazing. We kept reading reviews that if you were going to see a concert, this would be the one to see. And boy was it. They were amazing.
About half way through I turned around and noticed that about three rows behind us and a little to the left, there was a microphone and three guitar stands set up. I turned around to Randy and said "no way!" Sure enough after a couple more songs, they came down the ramp and up the stairs and this is what we got.
I pretty much wept. We couldn't believe it! Out of all the thousands and thousands of people there and all of the hundreds of places they could have gone in the stadium, they stood right behind us. Randy is convinced that Chris Martin was looking at him. They sang "The Scientist" and a couple of other songs. It was the most unbelievable thing and I barely slept all night.

Media Reviews
DALLAS — Coldplay’s ambitions are finally being matched by its sound. While the British quartet has always aimed to be among the top arena-dominating rock acts, its sensitive, occasionally maudlin and delicate ballads hadn’t made the strongest case.
That said, the group’s live shows have been raved about for years. Goopy tunes or not, Coldplay is nothing if not audience-pleasing. Yet Wednesday night at American Airlines Center, there was a different air about the Grammy-winning act, almost as if Chris Martin and his bandmates were making a thrilling declaration: If another band would like to wrest away their crown as one of the most vital acts in music, let’s have at it.
Emboldened by its new album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, with its rich, vivid and muscular songs, Coldplay raced through its set list, attacking staples such as In My Place and Clocks with as much verve as newer tracks Violet Hill or Viva la Vida’s staggering title cut. What was most impressive about the Viva la Vida tracks was their considerable punch — drummer Will Champion was tireless from first song to last — and Martin’s willingness to dispense with his trademark falsetto and sing with more authority. It helps give Coldplay a much needed dose of gravitas.
Not that the band has become dour. Several instances of goofiness included Martin’s encouraging the crowd to buy copies of the new Guns N’ Roses album so they could get free Dr Peppers. The packed arena greeted nearly every song and gesture with a lusty roar and near-constant flashbulbs. Martin was a reliable bundle of boundless energy, whirling from mike to guitar to piano. And it’s that energy that now feels properly channeled. For its first three albums, Martin and Coldplay made well-intended stabs at greatness, frequently coming close but not quite clinching it.
On record as in Wednesday’s performance, the British rockers, who still humbly thank their screaming fans for bothering to come out, have secured a place as an undeniably great band, one of heft, talent and substance.
http://www.star-telegram.com/performing_arts/story/1048853.html
In this age of media hype, when it seems as if any doofus willing to embarrass himself or herself on TV can get at least the beginnings of a music career, too many events elicit no reaction stronger than "muh." So it was great Wednesday night at American Airlines Center to actually go to an undeniably Important Rock Show.
The air at the sold-out show was charged with anticipation as fans of Coldplay, perhaps the biggest British band currently touring, milled about and texted each other excitedly.
The band didn't disappoint, tearing through a 90-minute set that featured spirited performances and high-tech stagecraft.
Frontman Chris Martin seemed both completely at ease – joking with the audience, grinning – and utterly in control. He bounded from one end of the stage to the other and onto the two wings projecting into the crowd.
Band members as a whole took pains to project themselves out into the audience as well, performing semi-acoustically not only at the edge of the stage for one song, but even journeying to the back of the AAC for another.
The band sampled its four albums fairly evenly, although their latest, Viva la Vida, may have gotten a bit more attention.
Although the band has been trending toward a more electric sound (witness the steam-hammer "Politik"), Mr. Martin spent plenty of time at his piano (the hit "Fix You," from Viva's predecessor, X&Y).
Large globes were suspended over the stage; in them were projected colors, patterns, and footage of the band members appearing in dizzying montages.
The high point was what seemed to be millions of multicolored paper butterflies fluttered down from above, a brilliant display of pixilated psychedelia that left the crowd's eyes as overwhelmed as its ears.
Denver and back to Dallas.
No. Not physically. That would be very silly. That’s a long old drive. Plus, let’s face it. There is not much to look at on the way. I spent much of the trip in the darkened cocoon of my bunk. The rest, faced with the slow realisation, as I peered out of the bus window, that this country is just vast. As soon as we headed out into that nothingness the day after the Dallas show.. the temperature dropped. We eventually hit the Colorado mountains on the way into Denver, and it fell again. Tumbled even. -6 last night (20 Farenheit I think.. crikey). Nothing like the heat of Dallas.
Back in Dallas, Texas, it was more like a summer’s night than a winter freeze. No scarfs required. No jackets even. I was sweltering when I donned the Oxfam jacket to go and meet the patiently waiting volunteers. It was another night of activity for them. Getting the word out there, meeting fans, explaining Oxfam’s work and getting excited about the show ahead. One of them came back afterwards, and described the concert simply as “life-changing”. There are a lot of happy fans leaving these venues once the confetti has fallen.
The same volunteer was telling me about how 1 in 3 children in her town in Texas, goes to bed hungry. It’s just two hours drive from the polished arena where the show was held. That is astonishing. I have learnt so much about this country on my trip with the tour. I am pleased to say that Oxfam also works to overcome poverty here in America too. It’s amazing how poverty can often go so unseen. This is not a poor country. But poverty exists here. It must not be ignored. Hopefully Oxfam’s presence on this tour, can help to improve awareness of poverty, and make it less invisible.
Denver is not a place I know much about. Not that I knew much about Dallas either.. I heard it’s a mile above sea level, which might explain part of that temperature tumble. I know it’s home of the Broncos too.. Today we sit in the warmth of another huge modern arena. It’s just a fairground away from that Broncos stadium, which sits under the watchful eye of those mountains. Today, this will be the home of Coldplay, and 20 Oxfam volunteers, of course.
Oh.. I just wanted to share this with you. I couldn’t help laughing earlier, when I saw the catering area being hoovered before lunch. The hoover (vacuum) was strapped to the back of a busy person, looking more like a proton pack out of Ghostbusters, than a cleaning device. I half expected Peter Venkman and Egon Spengler to appear and fight the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man..

Coldplay rocks American Airlines Center
DALLAS - The world-famous British band Coldplay rocked the American Airlines Center to a sold-out audience Wednesday.
The band is on a world tour promoting its latest chart-topping album, "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends."
Coldplay began the concert with the opening track on its recent album, "Life in Technicolor." As the members walked out toward the stage and grabbed their respective instruments, the music began to get louder, and the crowd went into a frenzy.
The band played all its hits, such as "Clocks," "In My Place" and "Speed of Sound."
Before lead singer Chris Martin began to perform "Cemeteries of London," he told the crowd, "If you are here to see the Jonas Brothers, then you are at the wrong show." The remark was met with laughter from the audience and Martin himself.
The show had many highlights that included the band walking to the back of the arena and up to the audience to perform "The Scientist." Martin told the crowd, "We can't come up to Dallas without visiting the back of the room."
Before performing the song, Martin mentioned that a Rolling Stone journalist had reminded him earlier that if he bought the new Gun N' Roses album "Chinese Democracy," he would receive a free Dr Pepper.
Martin then suggested that maybe the band perform "Paradise City" but laughed off the thought and stated that they should move on "to something more serious." However, at the end of performing "The Scientist" Martin sang, "Take me down to Paradise City, where the grass is green and the girls are pretty."
While still performing within the audience, Martin gave up the mic to drummer Will Champion to perform "Death Will Never Conquer Me." I was quite impressed because I had no idea that Champion could sing and sing well.
Even though the show was Coldplay at its best, I didn't like their somewhat techno version of "God Put A Smile On Your Face" and "Talk." The songs didn't sound like they should have and were hard to recognize until Martin began to sing. The beat was techno-based, and the guitar riffs were overshadowed by overuse of the whammy bar.
What surprised me the most about the concert was that Martin was more vocal with the audience than last time the band was in Dallas promoting "X&Y."
He was talkative and told many jokes. Before one song, while sitting at the piano, he told the audience, "I wish I were like Bruce Springsteen with stories for the songs, but I don't have any." Before performing "The Hardest Part," he joked that the song was written by Joe the Plumber before he became a plumber. Martin called him "Joe the Songwriter." All of his anecdotes were met with giggles from the audience and himself.
Since Coldplay's rise to fame, the ticket prices for the band's concerts have risen dramatically. However, I believe that the ticket was worth the price, and I plan on seeing the group again next time it comes back.
