Anyone see Coldplay lately?

I was wondering how the concert was. How Fiona Apple was like and what the track lists were for both artists. I'm going next weekend.

I saw them this Wednesday. If you went to their last US Tour this past fall, they pretty much did the same thing for this one but for me I enjoyed it all the same.

They opened with Square One, then Politik, I dont remember the middle songs in order but they were: The Scientist, God put a Smile on your Face, Yellow, Trouble, Clocks,Speed of Sound, White Shadows, X & Y,Dont Panic, A Message, An unreleased or new song (something about the world?), Kingdom Come, Ring of Fire (Johnny Cash cover), and ended with Talk. I dont remember if they played Swallowed at the Sea and Low or not but they might have. Their encore was In My Place, and Fix You

As for my experience:
First, I thought I ended up with awful seats because the tickets said I would be behind the stage. Come to find out I had the best seats Ive ever had for any concert and Ive been front row before. I was eye level with the stage, about 4 rows back and to the right of the stage. I could see them entering, leaving etc. and it was a surreal experience overall. Chris seemed a little tired this time and more energetic last fall but all in all it was a great show.

Saw them in Omaha Monday night. 18 songs. Seats were not the best, concert was very good. Definitely worth seeing them live.

Wow, The Hardest Thing is supposed to be their new single and they're not even playing it? I was surprised when I heard it was supposed to be a single, because I think it's one of the worst songs on the album. How You See the World should have been on the album instead for sure. It's funny that the song that mentions X&Y (The World Turned Upside Down) wasn't even on the album either and they renamed the song now known as X&Y on the album to tie it together or something. I'm not entirely sure what the original name for that track was. They're amazing in concert though. I saw them in Columbus last summer with a slightly different set that included Low, Amsterdam, A Rush of Blood to the Head, and Green Eyes (not Trouble, X&Y, Don't Panic, or How You See the World). I think Trouble, Don't Panic, and Amsterdam should be played at every show, but that's just me. =p

I saw them in Omaha this past Monday also. First time seeing Coldplay live and I thought they were amazing. Chris Martin had a lot of energy moving around the entire stage and interacted with the crowd quite a bit. Fiona was just ok for me. I am not real familiar with her music, but I know she played Shadowboxer, Criminal, and Fast As You Can. But, Coldplay is definitely worth the price of admission.

Went to the concert with gmal, one of the best concerts ever (mainly because of the seats).

As mentioned, Chris seemed a little more tired than the last time we saw them (in August). But he really pays close attention to the audience, he's asked several times if we were OK and he sounded very sincere. At one point the band takes out these disposable cameras and starts taking pictures, then they threw the cameras out in the audience. It was an overall great time.

The Hardest Part is the next single..am I the only one who loves that song? That would have been the icing on the cake if they sang that one
