ColdPlay in Toronto was simply amazing

July 23, 2012

ColdPlay played their first of two show in Toronto and it was simply the most awesome stage performances I have even though I have not gone too many concerts in my lifetime i.e. 4 in like the twenty years. Chris Martin knows how to involve all the fans even the fans behind the stage that had to probably look at the screens all around the arena to see the guys faces but still he took time and sung a couple of songs to the crowd behind the stage who loved it. The presentation like what looks to be a staple for the band had its leasers going and it was an awesome display and they even gave everyone coming in a wristband that I had no club how it work until they came out and did their first song and had a certain pattern of light on the screen behind the band and it set off all kinds of different colors which was cool. They had an amazing entrance onto the stage with smoke flying into the air with Star Wars music to go with it and they played a mixture of songs off the new album along with the songs that everybody knows from the past CDs. They had a cannon shooting paper into the air and it was something to watch and the smart guy that Chris Martin and the rest of the band is they dedicated yellow to the people in Colorado and anyone is going through a tough time. The show was a 90 minute sing-a-long with coldplay including a 20 minute encore that started with the speed of light and Chris almost immediately had to stop the band as he had missed up the lyrics I do not know if it was planned or not but he did make fun of it by saying please do not put it on youtube which shows he has a great understanding of the fans and knows they are going to put parts of the youtube.

The act that was brought in from Australia had a tough job as nobody was there to see them and knew everybody was there to see ColdPlay but their instruments were ear busting loud and it was hard to hear what the lady was singing which ColdPlay did not have a problem with as the instruments were not as loud even though they do have a lot of upbeat songs.

If U are going to see ColdPlay anywhere enjoy they do put on a great show
