I heard Magnificent last night....

[zoopop]

At a "Coldplay" concert. Not trying to pick a fight here, just letting everyone know they played it loud right before the band took stage (sort of like Wake Up). Show was in San Antonio so only a few people were dancing. When it came on me & my wife were getting excited for the 360 tour.

As for the show. Coldplay were very good. Great set with a bunch of new(er) material and a few classics thrown in. You can tell the band was very comfortable with their setlist as every song had A+ production. Only 1 song from Parchutes was played, "Yellow".

I hope...nevermind.

I hope...nevermind.

I'm sure Bono is not okay with this.

 

[alanah]

Coldplay loves U2...

 

[Peterrrrr]

If you can't beat them, join(play) them...

 

[believer75]

At least Coldplay recognizes brilliance...glad they are one of the few bands that gives props to where they came from, who inspired them and who and what they aspire to be as a band. U2 is the silent model for many bands. Playing Magnificent is a great shout out to U2.

I would also like to add the mobile device/camera usage at concerts is going to be at a all-time high during the 360 Tour.

Based on all the phones that were out during Coldplay I can only imagine the amount of people texting/talking/capturing throughout the concert. Why can't people enjoy the moment anymore?

 

[RedRocksU2]

Coldplay loves U2...

This has been confirmed.

So that's why U2 played Arcade Fire before their shows on the Vertigo tour!

 

[alanah]

This has been confirmed.

The jury's still out as to whether it's reciprocated, however.

it's just the new way of enjoying the moment.

 

[Danny Boy]

it's just the new way of enjoying the moment.

No, it's the new concert t-shirt. "Dude, I wuz there. Here, check it out on my phone."

People look pretty silly when there's a live band playing in front of them and they're actually watching on their tiny cell phone screen as it's being captured.

Like anyone is ever going to watch such a crap quality video.

I heard Magnificent last night at the same Coldplay concert. I loved hearing but, but Coldplay were incredible as well.

What did you think of that cellphone "wave" through the arena?

 

[intedomine]

yeah they played it just prior to their second Melbourne gig as well. Was great to hear.

There is no plausible way that was a good concert. That band is Disney. That band is a mini van. Chris Martin is to rock n roll what paintings are to motel rooms: cheap, safe imitations that are facades of expression. "Coldplay concert" is an oxymoron.

But, Walt Disney was brilliant. So, I wouldn't knock his name.....

I love Disney, so that's not an issue for me.

DOn't know that the jury is out. Bono has said positive things about Chris Martin and Coldplay in the past.

 

[Catman]

Fixed to better illustrate your point (not that I agree completely, but whatever).

 

[LyricalDrug]

Coldplay seems like such a nice band, that you can't really fault them for much. Which makes them 10 times more annoying...lol

 

[MadForIt]

Coldplay concert?
