What a night

Well... the boys from overseas put on quite a performance last night. I attended the Coldplay concert at the AAC last night, and it was quite an experience.
I'll admit, I came into the show ready to proclaim Coldplay overrated, because I do believe that. I feel like a lot of their act is manufactured emotion, they can't really grab ahold of me like U2 can and make me believe everything they are saying. But wouldn't you know, I got swept up in their show last night and they had me hooked the entire way. Well done. Chris Martin has evidedntly been studying tapes of Bono and Mick Jagger, because he moves around on stage like a seasoned pro. He had the audience in the plam of his hand last night. Its pretty obvious that Coldplay wants nothing more than to be the next U2, and every song from their new cd it seems like was crafted for the big arena sound. And I suppose if you are picking a band to emulate, theres no one better than the boys from Dublin. I loved that they only were on for 90 minutes, as this meant the entire show was super tight and not a moment was wasted. The tempo was good, songs were perfectly spaced out, and they couldn't have ended it better. Here's the setlist, as far as I can remember. (Not in exactly the correct order)

Square One
Politik
Yellow
Speed of Sound
X & Y
God Put a SMile Upon Your Face
The Scientist
Trouble
White Shadows
Kingdom Come
Ring of Fire
Don't Panic
Talk
Encore:
Swallowed in the Sea
In My Place
Fix You

I am going to have pictures posted on here probably tomorrow. Gotta go study for a big test right now though.
