7/10/2009: Coldplay concert

Melissa and I had been looking forward to the Coldplay concert since purchasing the tickets back in February. And the show was no disappointment. These guys really know how to put on a concert. We were in the rear of the “covered area” (lawn seating behind us), and had a decent view. But, after a few songs, the whole band made their way up to a mid-crowd stage right next to our section. So, we got to see them perform a few songs right in front of us. Later, they made their way all the way up to a small stage in the lawn area. It was really cool. While up there, as a tribute to Michael Jackson, they busted out their cover of “Billy Jean”. The show was a blast. Melissa and I have similar music tastes (well, okay, she’s not into some of the hip-hop, I’m not so in to the country and what not), so going to concerts for groups that we both like is a real treat. Every time we do it, I’m reminded that we really should go more often.
