Ed and I had a busy Saturday. As soon as the Utah-BYU game ended, we changed our clothes and headed off to the ESA to see Coldplay in concert. We decided to make a full get-away with both events in one day and spent the night at the Little America hotel. Coldplay put on an amazing show. This was the opening ...
Chris Martin was an amiable and entertaining front man. Little did we know that as entertaining as the show had been to this point, something even bigger was about to happen.
We didn't have great seats - so we thought! They were in the back corner section of the arena. They weren't cheap by any means, but they weren't close to the stage either. Midway through the concert, we noticed our section was being roped off along the end of the rows. Then Ed pointed out a microphone stand being place a few rows above us. Sure enough, the entire band walked to the back of the arena floor, walked up the stairs, and performed 2 songs just feet away from us! It was amazing. Chris Martin sang a gorgeous acoustic rendition of "The Scientist" - one of my favorite Coldplay songs.
They finished off the concert with an encore of "Yellow". I could have listened to them play all night so I was sad to see it end, but not disappointed at all with the performance. They put on an incredible live show. Toward the end, thousands of tissue paper butterflies were released from the rafters - it was so thick, you couldn't see the musicians through them. They were made of all different colors and there were fans blowing so they looked real as they fluttered and hung in the air. I tried to get photos of it but none of them turned out well enough to do it justice.
