the tuesday that rocked.

The sun was shining, my assignment had just been submitted and I had some sweet tunes cranked in the house in preparation for the night I had been looking forward to for months - Coldplay live in the city. My Tuesday afternoon was rocking.

We made it to the city at golden hour, my favourite time in Melbourne. As a pre-concert treat we headed to Beer Deluxe in Federation Square for our boutique beer and cider fix, relaxed in the sun and talked about our day that had been and the night before us. Things have been so busy in our lives the last few weeks that we haven't really had much time to sit in each others presence, it was a welcomed opportunity.

The concert was incredible. The light show, fireworks and lit arm bands contributed to an electric atmosphere with a touch of magic. The classic Coldplay ballads got the whole stadium to their feet and had thousands and thousands of fans screaming out lyrics at the top of their lungs. We were sandwiched between two great guys in our reserved seating section. Col, the gentleman next to me, was in a merry state upon arrival which only heightened throughout the concert. Apart from his overenthusiastic fan expressions that resulted in copious amounts of beer being spilt around me (and, ahem, on me), he was good quality. His goldfish memory kept me entertained that's for sure.

I didn't want to be on my phone taking photos the whole night in case I missed out on just "being", but I am glad I took  a few shots and recorded a few snippets from some of my favourite tunes. Even now, listening to the 20 second segment of "Fix You" I recorded gives me goosebumps. a m a z i n g.

the wristbands in their full glory

Any other Coldplay fans out there? Anyone else make it to the Melbourne gig?
