Coldplay in SLC

Brandon came in from Montana and had this bright idea to get last minute tickets to Coldplay. Yep, top row. It was an interesting night. We spotted 7th row seats from up above and sat in them for an hour before the band came out. Coldplay arrived and we saw the first song from the 7th row.....then the true owners of the tickets showed up barely able to see straight with a Bud Light in each hand. We were forced to leave regretfully. Who shows up 2 hours late with $200 tickets???? We were peeved to say the least. So instead of our nosebleed seats we searched for another half hour before we found a decent view. They put on a mighty good show. More confetti than I've ever seen in my life, playing 2 songs from the stands, a Bono-ish platform where Chris Martin could frolic around burning hundreds of calories, and a truly amazing live sound. Sorry, the iPhone pictures didn't turn out so great. Cheers boys!!

The Black Keys

Sadly it was just a couple of months ago that I was first introduced to the Black Keys. Since then I have been wondering where they have been my entire life. How was it that I went this long without hearing them? It boggles my mind. I don't know how it slipped through. Attack & Release is the new album and it's great. Just two guys, a drummer and guitarist/singer. They make an incredible sound for just the two of them. I listened recently to a live recording and it is a totally different experience than the album. His voice is much much better on the disc, but his guitar definitely is in its prime in a live show. So listen to them both if you can. I'm including two songs so you can get a taste of their different styles. Enjoy! If you haven't heard them yet also, hopefully I helped in the process.
