"Let us make a deal. You guys promise to me the best crowd and we will promise to give you the best concert in the history". I am not sure if we kept our end of the bargain, but when Mr Chris Martin promised; Coldplay delivered big time!
Entering the massive Allianz Stadium at 5:00PM, we had to wait till alomst 8:30PM for Coldplay to appear. However, 'Temper Trap' had already set a good rythm and the crowd had started to come alive. Some crazy drumming and great tunes by Temper Trap had set the tempo. As the evening grew older, the lead singer of 'Temper Trap' said "you have no idea what you are in for", referring to Coldplay. He was right, we had no inkling of an idea.
The brightly lit up stadium suddenly went dark. The wristbands given to the crowds began to glow. These wristbands were given to all the spectators and the bands were controlled remotely. The lights glow in a particular sequence. So the lights went out and the bands started to glow. It was like 60000 christmas lights and Santa Claus just gave us Chris Martin! Post that, it was all Coldplay!
Somebody pointed out that there were no stars in the sky. Well, they were in front of us! They were truly superstars and I cannot even describe how incredible it was. They played all the favorites including Fix You, Yellow, Violet Hill, The Scientist, Paradise, Viva la Vida and so on. Glowing baloons, huge glowing dolls, laser lights and amazing lighting. I read somewhere that this concert was the first concert to use top of the line technology and to witness that was nothing short of a previlege. Like Chris mentioned, in the list of amazing things, 50000 people singing the same tune ranks right up there.
Just when we though it was amazing, Coldplay took it to another level. Chris said, "You know, we have only 4 rooms for us in the hotel. The rest of the hotel is booked by this other celebrity. He is an absolute legend. He has been very kind to us. When we were growing up, we always looked upto him. He has always been a towering presence. We love you. As a mark of respect, I will play a small tune of his". He was referring to Sir Elton John and Coldplay played "Rocket Man". Your favorite band playing the tune of your favorite artist=mind blowing!

I cannot even describe a tiny bit of how amazing the concert was, but all I can say is Coldplay just gave me one of the greatest nights of my life!
Sydney just became a more awesome place!
