Coldplay

A couple of months ago, I won free tickets from Magic 96.5 to see Coldplay at the Verizon Wireless Music Center (AKA "Oak Mountain"). Nick and I both love them, so we were excited about our view from the nosebleeds. While we were 75.2 miles away from the stage, it was still awesome. This band rocks! They are one of the few I have seen that sounds JUST LIKE their album, but LIVE. Chris Martin's vocals were stellar; they even performed two mini-sets amongst the crowd: one on a small stage in the lower section, and one on the sidewalk between the upper and lower sections. The show started with Howling Bells at 7:30, then Pete Yorn at about 8:15. Coldplay came on around 9:00 and played for TWO HOURS! Yep, that's right. We didn't leave until 11:30. Best free concert I've ever been to, and one of the top five of ALL the concerts I've been to...and I've seen a lot!
