Coldplay

Friday Kyle and I headed down to Des Moines to see one of Kyle’s favorite bands live!! I got the tickets for him for his birthday and well….let’s just say he was quite surprised! ;)

We stopped and had an early supper before the show at Outback Steakhouse, one of our favorite restaurants!!

Then we headed downtown to the Marriott to check in to our room to freshen up before the show. We took our time and took the sky walks to the arena where the show was. Thank goodness for those!! It was raining!! :)

There were two opening bands before Coldplay. We missed the first one, but the 2nd band was Snow Patrol (another one of Kyle’s favorites!). We really enjoyed Snow Patrol!

Then it was time for the main event!! We had heard that Coldplay put on a good show, but WOW!! We never expected it would be that good!! Here are just a few pictures from the night!

Opening Song

 

When they played “Yellow” they sent out all these giant yellow balloons and if you popped them confetti came out! Very cool!!

 

 They had some pretty cool lights and “extras” throughout the whole show!

      

In the middle of the show, Coldplay walked through the crowd to the other side of the arena to perform!   

We even went to outer space…lol!! :)

 

It was an AMAZING show and both Kyle and I were so glad that we were able to go!! Oh and at the end they passed out a copy of their CD to everyone!! Sweetness!!! :)

After the concert…we were quite hot from rocking/dancing the night away!! :)
