Re: Coldplay at Etihad, Melbourne last night
Coldplay - admittedly not my thing musically. The stage show was big, but verging on gimmicky. The wristbands that lit up at certain points were clever, and looked good from above I should think, but......???? Came away from it non-plussed really. Not in a hurry to go and buy their music or see them again. Took 2 hours to get out the EQ car park as well...longer than the gig!
Radiohead - very clever show. The video screens almost added a "documentary" feel to it as they showed each band member at work so to speak. Their newer music is very challenging, but can be thrilling because of that. The older stuff from The Bends and OK Computer were the best received. Vocal mix was bit down though.
Pink Floyd - saw them at Earls Court in '94, and Roger Waters performing The Wall in London and Sydney. In both cases far ahead in matching visuals to the music. I saw Roger solo in Sydney in '07 as well which again was very well produced.
Next stop Roger Hodgson, then Rush for Clockwork Angels tour in the UK......and maybe Neil Young & Crazy Horse down here.
