Made a quick trip over to London over last weekend to see my daughter there one last time before she moves away for grad school. While we were there, Coldplay was playing. At Wembley. Dude. So yeah, I spent some money for three tickets. I’m not the world’s biggest Coldplay fan. But….holy f’n shit, their show at Wembley may have been the best concert I’ve ever seen. We’ve always wanted to see a show at Wembley (Live Aid was 40 years ago this summer….yeesh). It helped that I was there with people I loved, but we were also at one of the most storied stadiums on the planet…with 90,000 people from (literally) all over the world, all together in one of the world’s great cities. Humanity. In simultaneous joyful celebration. The band had the crowd in the palm of their hands, and that crowd was happy to go wherever Coldplay took them. I just typed a bunch of words, but words really don’t do the experience justice. The most-attended concert tour in history, at one of the world’s greatest venues, with a band that didn’t have a single miss. Fantastic.
