Coldplay live - San Jose July 18

Last night we went to see Coldplay live at the HP Pavilion.  It was amazing, such a treat to finally see them do their thing.  I still think they're a ways off from perfecting their arena presence (no need for U2 to get worried yet...), as I felt that the show lost a little bit of steam in the middle.  But when they come out and do their anthems and hits, they are simply on fire.  What a treat.  Below are some photos and video.  More pictures at http://rianvdm.smugmug.com/gallery/5473984_tKYX4

 

First Song - Violet Hill:

 

Viva La Vida:

 

 

Some "Speed of Sound":

 

Any guesses which songs this was?  Hint - it's a color...

At one point Chris Martin said, hey, we don't like playing at this side of the building any more...  They then ran up and did a couple of songs right next to us!

Fix You:

 

Fantastic ending:
