oasisjennie: What an amazing show!! It was so worth it to freeze
my ass off (actually my toes) waiting in line. I met some great people
(thanks to this message board)! (Shawn and Robin got to go to the soundcheck
and meet the band, Jennifer caught Chris' jacket, and Audrey got her Safety
EP signed by the band at the end!) We were right up front...ahh just where
I belong. Chris imitated Justin Timberlake. He sang 'cry me a river' at
one point and then danced like Justin - i can't remember which song that
was during...oh and Chris sang 'When George Bush gets re-elected...there
will be trouble for all of us' (or something) in Everything's Not Lost...ha
ha!
Audball34: Well Booradley and I just got back from hanging out
at a diner after an amazing show! I came here alone and left with some
new friends. It was definitely great meeting the other board members!
what a great community..thanks for the cd and getting my cd signed at
the soundcheck Chris's Nuts I'll leave a better review later but I am
sitting here at Kinkos still on a high and am trying to book my car rental
and hotel for Utah...leaving for the airport in about 2 1/2 hours....well
CP's tour manager let jen and i head backstage with all the other vip
people and talk to the guys using my special cd as a barter tool Chris
even grabbed my cd during In My Place and had all the guys sign it, and
Will is working on getting me to the Monday night Star Lounge thing...this
night could not have been any better!!! I wanted to add too that after
having gone to denver, salt lake and pheonix in one weekend, our show
in Denver was definitely the best, even after waiting 6 hours in the snow
and cold (which i'm definitly NOT used to)...the guys seemed at their
best and most energetic and the people i met were great.
swank79:Wow, just rolling into work early from a late night of
Coldplay. The night couldn't of gone any better. Everything fell into
place as I got the call from 93.3 telling me who to meet at the venue
to get in for a soundcheck / "garage session". Before we were let in I
met a bunch of really cool die hard local Coldplay fans. It was great
meeting everyone and sharing stories from previous shows. Chris's Nuts
even hooked me up with a show from Ireland, thanks man! So we got in and
it felt like a dream. There were maybe 10-15 people at the most who were
let in this thing and it was just crazy not having to fight any crowds.
Chris was very talkative with all of us and took requests for songs to
perform for us. A guy requested A Whisper and the band was a little hesitant
but Chris talked them into it and its sounded excellent. After the songs
were over Chris suggested that they all come down to the floor to sign
AND take pictures ! I'm not going to lie, I was getting nervous at this
point - somebody wake me up from this dream! Everyone was really cool,
I got an individual picture with each band member and a group shot with
everyone. I also got my cd covers signed by each member. After the soundcheck/garage
session we were kicked back out into the cold for about another hour before
the doors actually opened to the public. To be honest I was so happy from
what had just happened, I barely noticed the bitter cold temperatures
while waiting in line. The actual concert was great, the set list was
a perfect balance and all the band members were in a great mood. I really
dug the projection screens, that was a nice touch.
Shawn (the Scientist, Chris's Nuts): Yeah I requested the Cure's
a Forest during the soundcheck since it is one of Chris's favorites and
WOULD sound awesome. But they only perform songs they've rehearsed (not
a bad idea) so it was a no go. Yeah it was really cool seeing a Whisper
being doen as it has never been recorded or done live before (except they
said they did a half ass job one rehearsasl sometime before). They said
they love the song and were proud of it but quickly became aware that
everone hates it. It took them several minutes of fumbling (hearing a
recording of the song, each practicing their parts by themselves, practicing
the chorus first together before they did a killer job of the final song).
If its any consolation when we started the soundcheck Chris wasn't in
the best of moods. BUT because we were friendly, knowledgable, and most
of all FANS they ended it in a very good mood.
Noelmani: I arrived at the venue around 2 and waited by the tour
buses until the doors opened. After the show, I went back to the buses
again, along with about 15 people. Chris came out and signed soome things
and I got to talk with him briefly. After he left, most of the fans left
and there were only about 3 people still there including me. I waited
a bit longer, and then Jonny came out. He saw only us 3, so he came signed
our stuff, and chatted with us for about 10 minutes! I talked to him about
guitar, music, Oasis, Liam Gallagher, and then he left. I also told him
to remember the name of my band, ACQUIESCE, because we would be huge like
them somoeday. All in all, it was a perfect night. When I was talking
to Jonny after the show, I asked why they didn't play "A Whisper", and
he said that they could never get the song down right, but that they did
it during soundcheck, and are looking to put it in the upcoming shows.
Robin (voice of reason): I just want to send many big thank you's
to all the fantastic Coldplay fans I met last night. It was great meeting
people from the board!! So happy for Jen and Audrey! Awesome to finally
meet OasisJennie!! Many thanks to Nico!! And above all else THANK YOU
Chris, Jonny, Will, and Guy; I am eternally grateful for finally getting
to meet and talk to all of you at soundcheck. Having missed you guys by
just 10 minutes at the Boulder show and faithfully following your career
since October 2000 and talking to so many great people on this board all
this time; I have attained the dream. What more can I say without getting
all misty.
Aracelis: Hey everyone!! I've been away from the computer for
a bit but I'm here to state that The Fillmore Show ROCKED!!! I know I
waited in the outside freezing weather for 6 hours with two wonderful
girls that I met (we'll call them the Chris duo) From the start it was
great just to share the experience with everyone there on line waiting
to get in. I met some of you guy's and it was a pleasure to share this
concert with you.
Let's see, Chris Martin tossed his guitar pick at me. I keep it in the
"Rush of Blood to the Head" cd case. Then when the night was over and
I waited for my ride I went to the back where the tour buses were at.
I pulled out my chair and crossed me legs and told the guy's whom where
hanging outside waiting for the band that "if they wanted charachter,
they'd get character" and I planted my butt down next to the bus. Then
I whipped out my CD and waved it so as to get Chris Martin's attention
which it did. I motioned for him to please come out and sign my cd, he
grined (he was eating) and signaled to me he'd be right out. He came out
and signed my "Rush of Blood to the Head" cd. All I could say was "thank
you sweetie" LOL. I was just blown away honestly. The entire experience
is one to share with the grandkids someday.
