Tonight was the night.
It was a pretty incredible concert. The band Sleeper Car opened for them from 7:30 - 8:05.
Then at 8:45, Chris, Jonny, Will, and Guy took the stage...and the audience by storm.
There were lights, lasers, big inflatable balls full of video, rock ballads, pianos, butterflies, guitars, scarves, love ballads, giant video screens and everything in between.
They are entertainers...and they lived up to that. They used the entire stage...they even came out and did a few songs on an extended stage right in front of our seats (Section 4, Row 3). Before the night was through, they even did a song back in the back of the arena. I loved it.
On one of the songs, blowers right above us shot paper butterflies all over the crowd.
They really did captivate the audience from start to finish. It was a constant barrage of music that you couldn't help but sing along with...Viva la Vida, Fix You, The Scientist, Clocks, Speed of Sound, Cemeteries of London, Lost...I could go on. Before I know it, I look down and it is 10 till 10 and I know our time is coming to a close.
When they were through, the proverbial cheer for the encore began. It started with clapping and slowly developed into a concise, "Yell-O, Yell-O, Yell-O"...
They came back out...and the encore...Yellow, was performed.
We had an incredible night. We got to hang out with Brad and Cat and rock out to Coldplay.
PS. We also got to eat Buffalo because we went to Ted's Montana Grill and I had Bison Meatloaf.
I was there! Section 6 on the floor! They definitely lived up to the task of entertainment. TIGHT!
