    Yeah, that price was exactly why I passed. I'm sure it'll be worth it though...and definitely cheaper than flying somewhere to see PJ. Enjoy man!

    Show was pretty ok. I can understand why the tickets were priced like they were - the band used so many props to keep the crowd involved in the show - confetti flying everywhere, large blow up images strewn around the arena, an influx of ballons at one point, and then the glowing wristbands that would like up in sync to certain songs... all of which were pretty entertaining; however they took the focus away from the music for sure.

    The guitarist was having trouble with his tunings and pedals all night (despite the fact that none of their music is very complex) - mind you that's not his fault, it was clearly a tech problem; however you should never be caught on stage tuning your guitar in front of 22,000 people... the drummer was solid when needed, but most of his beats were simple at the best of times... and the bassist went relatively unnoticed. Of course the spectacle was Chris Martin, and yes, he was incredibly entertaining, running and jumping around like Ed in his younger days... he was very into the show and clearly giving it his all....

    What I found crazy is that the venue was sold out almost 360 degrees (for the second night in a row in Houston)... I've never seen the Toyota center with that many people in it... It was sold out when I went to Radiohead back in March, but they didn't have 6 or 8 sections behind the stage open like coldplay did....

    All the while I'm thinking to myself: man, PJ would be so much better.... don't know why I made that comparison... but anyway... when CP's intro music came on, the lights went down... and all I could think was, "I'd rather be hearing Phillip Glass right now...."

    It sucks that PJ could not fill up the stadium like that anymore. I know it's been a concious decision on behalf of the band to be where they are right now, but it would be so awesome if they consistently toured, became relevant again and could fill up satdiums like that in every city... (not just NYC, Philly, Chicago, Toronto, Boston...) the atmosphere in that plaec last night was incredible....
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    Here's a picture of a real sailing ship. It's from the US fleet. It's called the Eagle. :)

    I liked that Isle of WIght poster so much I wanted to find a real one.
