Coldplay Live

coldplay-2006

My brother had seen Coldplay perform live twice already, so I made sure I wasn’t going to miss their third “Twisted Logic” tour of Australia. I jumped on a plane landed in Melbourne and we both headed straight for Rod Laver Arena. As with previous tours they opened with the title track ‘Square One’ from their latest album at the time ‘X & Y’. It was a fantastic opener and it just got better. Brother, brother … by the time they hit ‘Talk’ we bounced together for the whole song and that was before the encore !

It’s not the best quality footage, but certainly gives you a sense of what it was like for us being there.
