Coldplay in Glastonbury 2011

If you're a constant visitor on this blog, you would deduce that the author is a big (if there's an adjective for bigger than monstrous, then consider that) fan of Coldplay. Their latest album is shaping up to be as beautiful as the previous ones. But what i'm posting now are some excerpt of their live act from the recently concluded Glastonbury Music Festival 2011.

Imagine a multitude of music lovers and hitchers  packed together with a number ranging from 150,000 - 200,000, i couldn't measure how the euphoria would be and the elation seems unthinkable or too true to feel. The Glastonbury Festival is a British Music Festival originated back in the 1970s where the live acts are performed at Worthy Farm in Glastonbury Southwest England.

Coldplay is by far the ultimate best band alive surpassing U2s fame and successes. Being a headline on a Glastonbury Musicfest is indeed a great achievement and laurel on the cap of Coldplay. They have performed three times (back in 2002, 2005) and this year-2011 of which all  were headlines. They've led the opening in the infamous Pyramid stage last Saturday, June 25 2011 with MX/Hurts Like Heaven from their new album.


MX/Hurts Like Heaven



While i was glued on my screen watching these shared videos on Youtube, i can't help both being wistful and inspired. It's still one of my goals and one of my un-executed plans to be in a Coldplay's concert, yet.  i'm running out of time already. I'd truly enjoy seeing one of their acts while i'm still in the early adulthood, screaming out loud and singing with them their songs that were epitomized as an epic.


In My Place





This was their first single that I've seen on MTV back in the days. It has captivated me ever since. The magic is still there, whenever i play it on the iPod or just simply watching like this:
Yellow





Chris M. here never faltered to entertain, while Jonny Buckland is still the simple and profound lead guy on the guitars. Will Champion is so into it that the drutms are have no disconnect to the rhythm, & Guy Berryman, the bassist is unmatched.
Lost






Major Minus





I was thinking that this song was their encore, but as you can feel and see (esp if you've known this song for ages), it was almost heartbreaking. What more if you're watching it live and you're a part of the throng singing these magical lyrics. The audience seem can't get enough of it. I couldn't just imagine once again the high-spiritedness gathering slowly through the heart and mind as you indulge deeper in the meaning of this song.
