Coldplay- An Amazing Concert Experience

Coldplay sets the bar high in terms of the degree of concert awesomeness.

Coldplay- An Amazing Concert Experience
Courtney Stedman

If there is one concert I would highly recommend going to when they're touring, it's Coldplay. Their concerts never let you sit down. You are constantly entertained by Chris Martin's (the lead singer) theatrics and interactions with the crowd. The best part is is that they are friendly and fun for all ages.

A British rock/alternative band, Coldplay became famous worldwide because of songs like "Clocks," "Yellow," "Viva La Vida," and a more recent one as part of their 2016 album "A Head Full of Dreams," "Adventure of a Lifetime." Headed by Martin, the band has been together since 1996 (the year of my birth- but this band is timeless), and every album since then has gotten better and better.

Coldplay's most recent album, "A Head Full of Dreams," is absolutely amazing by my standards. Songs such as "Hymn for the Weekend" (with a cameo by Beyonce), "Adventure of a Lifetime," and "Up&Up," highlight the colorful album that almost takes you to an alternative world. The sounds are unique, and don't let you get tired of the songs.

They announced another world tour for this album, and fortunately I was able to go to their Denver stop with a friend and my parents this past August. Before this concert, I had always loved reading about and watching people get their tickets upgraded to amazing seats on concert documentaries. Little did my friend and I know that we would be having the experience of a lifetime that night.

We had seats in the nosebleed section of the Pepsi Center, but they weren't bad at all. I liked our view; we could see everything going on and it was amazing to soak it all in before Coldplay even came on.

My friend and I were standing up, finding and waving to my parents on the side of the first level. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a man with a Coldplay shirt walking towards us up the stairs. I thought nothing of it; he was just an attendee who already had a Coldplay shirt on.

Next thing we knew, he walked up to us and told us he worked for Coldplay. He was looking for "superfans" of the band. He asked us a few questions about Coldplay. After we answered them to the best of our abilities, he asked us if we would like for our parents to be waving at us from the second row. We freaked out and were so excited to be two rows away from the stage.

We ran like 12 year old girls at a Jonas Brothers (rip) concert down to our new seats on the floor. We still could not believe what had just happened to us. The feeling was surreal. To be so close to a well-known band that I had liked for a long time was amazing.

The experience overall was once-in-a-lifetime. I could not have asked for a better night. So again, if there is one concert you should definitely try to go to when they are touring, it's Coldplay.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
