Truth: Coldplay Concert
Well I saw Coldplay in concert last night. What a great show. Hesitant to admit I was going, getting jabbed by the guys. As you know I like them, but I've always had to make sure it was cool. Not that I care if it's cool or not from an image standpoint, coz I am cool...but knowing if their music is good and worth listening too. Just because I like something, doesnt mean its good or cool. I like some Jackson Browne songs for instance, and he blows.
Well I was taken aback. They are excellent musicians, and are very entertaining. There's alot of soul in their stuff, and it's just pure and clean. I'm not sure if there is another band out there quite like them - they sure do seem to have it. I was thinking this is THE BAND of the Century easily. Who comes close? Every song was just great, and I'll defintely see them again.
Here's a couple of pics from my camera phone. The quality is horrible, but you get the idea. I'll post a view soon as I can convert it
