Coldplay Concert Munich 8/29/2009

When Coldplay tickets went on sale here in Munich they sold out really fast. I got an email from someone that is in a new friends group that I belong to saying that she had an extra pair of tickets because the friends that they bought them for weren't able to come to Munich-so, their concert miss was our gain! I snatched them up and then one of Robert's associates found that they needed to be out of town and couldn't use their tickets-so we grabbed those for our friends C&P. The concert was last night and it was a fantastic! We had "Steht" tickets, which means that you are on the ground level standing...along with about 10,000 of your closest friends. We arrived and started to scope out a spot..hemming and hawing about whether or not to go over to the other side of the stage, when all of a sudden the security guard in front of us opens up a gate and we get to go into a closer ring-excellent! The picture above is taken while they are playing "Yellow"...and they brought out these huge yellow beach balls for the audience to swat about. Fantastische. It was our first concert here and actually the first concert for Robert and I to go to together. We all had a terrific time. We came home humming songs and with multi-colored thin paper butterflies that they shot into the air covering the crowd during "Lovers in Japan". It was so cool!
