I’ve seen them 4 times, and this show in Dallas was the best I’ve seen. When they started to play Billie Jean, I thought that I’d died and gone to heaven. It was in-freaking-credible.

Couldn’t agree more. Saw them in San Diego on 7/16 and it changed my whole life. If you want to read a funny review of the show, check out this article:

Glad to hear you’re a huge Coldplay fan again! My first Coldplay concert was Nov 08 in Kansas City, MO.(although I’ve been a fan for a few years) Loved it so much had to travel from Wichita, KS to Texas for this one. Loved the butterflies! Also really enjoy the stages in the audience. We were pleasantly surprised to be seated near the first auxillary stage, and got some nice close-up shots of the band, and video of Billie Jean. I read that their stadium shows in Europe are more spectacular than the US stadium shows, so my next adventure will be to a European location. But that will have to wait until their next tour. :) I also think it’s great that all ages enjoy this band, not just the younger set. We’re in our 50s and loved every minute!

Hey there. I bought my girlfriend and I front row tickets to the Coldplay concert in Charlotte in Aug. for her birthday. When I bought them I was “kinda” excited I knew I like songs that you mentioned, Yellow, trouble, ect. So when I surprised her with the gift I decided to throw in the new album. I never gave her the album because its sitting in my car right now. I’m pumped for the show and so is she. I use to be a live music hound so have seen over 300 “jamband” (I hate that term) shows so getting excited again has been great. Thanks for the post and I’ll try and remember to let you know how it goes.

@adam, you are correct. My memory was a little fuzzy on the order. Here is the complete setlist from the Dallas show:

Last night was my fifth Coldplay show, and I am continually amazed by the band’s progress as musicians. The average Coldplay fan does not realize that they don’t record anything that the four of them can’t play live together. Did you notice any additional musicians on the stage? Anything you hear on their album seamlessly translates on stage between the four of them. No overlapping vocals from Martin, no choir harmonizing in the background; just four, raw, unbelievably talented men. Martin was wonderfully charasmatic, as always. Coldplay always pay homage to other musicians at their live shows. At AAC in the Fall it was Guns-n-Roses, and on the X and Y tour it was Johnny Cash, but with the recent passing of Michael Jackson, none were as moving as Billie Jean.

Yellow was actually the 4th song they played last night after Violet Hill, Clocks, and In My Place (5th if you include the instrument only opener of Life in Technicolor, the opening song of their Viva la Vida CD). This was my 3rd time to see them in a year. First time was last summer in chicago, then again in boston in october, and last night home in dallas. Each time I left the concert left me wanting to see them again. After seeing them 3 times in one year, every show they have played has been amazing and a lot of energy shown from the band. Can’t wait to see them again!

@jec2823,
Traveled from Denver just to see Coldplay at superpages.com venue. Couldn’t get a tkt in Denver, and I so wanted to see them. Huge fan! A Dallas friend joined me… didn’t know Coldplay before but she’s now a fan. The talent and energy on the stage were incredible. The attention to the audience (yellow balls, butterfly confetti, leaving stage to sing inside audience, inviting audience to join in singing, free CD at end) proved electric. What a pianist Chris is (guitar, harmonica, piano); his entire band was terrific! I go to many concerts — this is one I’ll never ever forget. Best ever! Pls send me the full MJ clip. Thank you! CO from Denver
