Hello to everyone,
Last night was everything I expected Coldplay to be, plus a million times more.
I'll give you a little rundown of how yesterday (the greatest day of my life) went down.
The ride up to the cities was a fairly slow ride for it only being a 3 & 1/2. I think this was probably because I was so anxious to see Coldplay live!
Once we got into the cities, we had some extra time so Greg gave me a mini-tour of the university he attends.
This is the venue that the Coldplay concert was held. It was very nice outside so Greg and I waited outside for some of his friends that were also going to be at the concert.
These are two pictures I took of the opening band, Charli XCX. They were a decent band. You could tell they're new to performing and don't have much of their own material. The lead singer is quite the entertainer. I don't think the crowd overall was pleased by their performance (or at least I wouldn't think so considering all the laughter going on once they finished).
Here are two pictures that I took of the second opening band, Marina & The Diamonds. They were decent as well. I had heard a few of there songs before I had come to the concert: Primadonna, I Am Not A Robot, and How To Be A Heartbreaker. This band has one goofy drummer!

They were right when they said the wristbands are "a part of the show"! |
 |
| The shirt I bought before the concert! |
 |
| The stadium was super full. |
 |
| Getting the stage ready for Coldplay! |
So by this time, I was really anxious for them to come out and perform!
 |
| The preparation time is killing me! |
 |
| This place is alive! Show time! |
 |
| All the colorful lights down there are the wristbands like I had on. |
 |
| Beautiful picture of the crowd. "We'll run wild, we'll be glowing in the dark." |
Here is the set list in the order the songs were played. Yes, I kept track.
1. Mylo Xyloto
2. Hurts Like Heaven
3. In My Place
4. Major Minus
5. The Scientist
6. Yellow
7. Don't Let It Break Your Heart
8. Violet Hill
9. God Put A Smile On Your Face
10. Lovers In Japan
11. Princess Of China
12. Up In Flames
13. Warning Sign
14. Viva La Vida
15. Charlie Brown
16. Paradise
(encores)
17. Us Against The World
18. Speed Of Sound
19. Clocks
20. Fix You
21. Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall
The concert was absolute madness. We had great seats to see both the stage and the crowd. I want to go back to a Coldplay concert if I ever get the chance. It was so great. Cloud 9.

| So I guess this post does have something to do with my exchange. As a Rotary Youth Exchange Student, I have to both collect and give out pins to others I meet. This is a pin of Coldplay's new album, Mylo Xyloto, which is definitely going on my blazer. 20 days. |
I'm going to post a video that I took last night of the song "The Scientist" which is my favorite.
Thanks for reading my blog. Until next time, ciao.
