Must have been good by the sounds of things. They had the Etihad Manager on all the news radio stations here explaining how it all worked. I'm no big fan of Coldplay, but by the sounds of things I've missed out on something truly spectacular.

I'd like to hear what the band themselves have to say about it now.... sounds like they surpassed themselves.

As I'm going to see Coldplay on Saturday (not my choice, accompanying a friend), I'll be able to do a direct comparison, and as I've seen Floyd, who top my list for best show, I'll do that comparison as well.

Are they still there ?

My last memory of that place was an adjacent firework display, that we walked to in total pitch darkness. There was 100's of people sitting around n the pitch black with no apparent lighting anywhere. Bloody surreal it was.

I wonder how pissed I'd have to be, to get any semblance of enjoyment out of him.

Just an astonishing show - 60,000 glowing wrist bands, fireworks, lasers, balloons etc and a cracking performance as well.
