Coldplay concert - 29th of August

AWESOME!!! We had purchased tickets for Coldplay waaay back before Christmas and FINALLY we were able to go!! :-) The open air concert turned out to be artistic, bright, colorful and with the perfect clear sky, cool air and even the moon sheepishly gazing down at all the thousands of people. It couldn't have been better. From giant yellow balloons "dancing" over the crowd, millions of paper butterflies shot out of confetti canons, and free CD's being handed out at the end of the concert it really was an unforgettable show!!!!

The best of the night was a tribute played to Michael Jackson:"Billy Jean". We just found out that it would have been his birthday yesterday...

The guy next to us took this youtube video of them playing the song on one of the two small stages in the crowd. We were quite far from the main stage, but they played on this little stage right behind us, which put us right next to them. (If you listen closely you can hear me scream in the crowd!...:-)
