I spent five minutes looking for a clip from 40 Year Old Virgin on YouTube:
"You know how I know you're gay? Because you listen to Coldplay."
In all seriousness, Coldplay is an alright band. I have seen them live a few times and over the years their performances have gotten to be more about the show itself rather than the music. Parachutes was an entertaining album when it came out and I remember thinking, "I really hope these guys don't pull a Radiohead."
Well, they did. To me, each album has gotten progressively worse and their songs sound forumlaic now. But I'm glad you enjoyed the show. I hope it was similar to a Coldplay show from six or so years ago.
This would be a nice segue into best and worst concert you have ever attended. As for best, I have seen Andrew Bird several times live, and each time he is fantastic. Bela Fleck and the Flecktones are a really fun show (I also met bass virtuoso Victor Wooten after one show, also one of the nicest guys ever). Talib Kweli puts on a pretty fine performance even though he was wasted when he performed (pretty fun time though. I was too).
One of the most disappointing shows ever was when I saw Bob Dylan. It was three years ago and he didn't play guitar at all. He just tapped on a synthesizer. I know he's old and his voice was never good. I had fun because I was seeing Bob Dylan and he's a legend, but you know what I mean. Either way, when he played "Forever Young," that was just awesome.
