I'm going to do my best to do this night justice, even though it occured 3 months ago. This past May; Jason, Bethany, Chad, Matt, and I attended the Coldplay show at Lakewood Amphitheater. Although it rained heavily, and was quite chilly, it still proved to be the best concert I had ever been too! We began the evening on trashbags and picnic blankets while we listened to Pete Yorn and shortly moved our way in front of one of the mini-stages that Coldplay retreats to halfway through the show. Here is me and Bethany waiting in high anticipation!
As the concert progressed, I began to enjoy the cold and rain. It seemed to mesh better with their music and style, kind of mellow and dramatic. We had our backs against the fence of the small stage, so when the band ran out to preform there, we simply turned around and magically our lawn seats became front row access for about 3 or 4 songs. It was incredible! Here's Chris Martin and Will Champion up close.
Then, my favorite part, Lovers in Japan! Only experiencing this could explain how unbelievably emotional this felt. It's difficult to tell what was going on, but at the climax of the song confetti canons shot out millions of paper and plastic butterflies that flittered down at different speeds. It felt like you were completely surrounded by the real thing!
Here's a grisly Matt and a soaking wet Katie with the stage in the background.
Bethany laughed and laughed at this picture, because she felt it explained her life like no words could (aka-Chad's timely entry). I can sum up my experience in 10 words. The company-unbeatable. The music-phenominal. And the night-unforgettable.
