The people packed it in for this sold out show at the Promowest Pavilion on a chilly day in Columbus, Ohio. People were anxiously wondering what Coldplay would be like in their first time ever in this city.

Coldplay started off with a little help from the opening act, The Music, which got the crowd ready and energized for the night. When Coldplay came out, they started out with the banging music of "Politik" and flashing lights of the Pavilion. The music was amazing and the crowd was singing along. While watching the band go crazy, you knew you were in for a great night of music.

Another crowd pleaser was a more upbeat "Spies" which was on their previous album Parachutes. After the few first songs, the lead singer Chris Martin, after much grinning, finally said "I know I haven't said much but I just wanted to make sure that you knew we weren't shit." He definitely had the crowd for his own that night. Coldplay then launched into a brilliant version of "Trouble" which had close-ups of "Make Trade Fair" written on the piano and Chris' hand to let you know that this band really cares about society and causes. Next was the most well-known opening chords of any Coldplay song, "Yellow," and then the haunting "The Scientist." After those songs, they thanked the crowd and headed off the stage only to come back to play "Clocks" and "In My Place" which excited the crowd further. Soon, Chris came back to do a solo acoustic song "Proof" which he said was about his girlfriend but he would never admit it to anyone except to who was in the crowd that night in Columbus. Then it was over with no one wanting the great experience to end.

Coldplay is one of the best bands around today and they only seem to be getting better. It's great to see a band become this popular in only a few short years. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us in the future. I suggest hitting up this concert if they come to your area!
