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.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
