Coldplay join the fans up in the "cheap seats"

The opening night of Coldplay's new tour was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. A definite highlight came with one of the simplest moments as the band jumped from the stage and ran the length of the Forum floor and up a back stairway to an aisle in "the cheap seats." Just a few feet away from me and the wife they performed a rearranged, gentle acoustic version of "Yellow" (see below). Then Chris handed the microphone over to drummer Will Champion who sang lead vocals on the brand new song, "Death Will Never Conquer". The two songs brought the group and audience together more than all the light and video trappings earlier in the evening. What an amazing show!
