Coldplay at White River Ampitheatre

Coldplay at White River Ampitheatre, Auburn, WA

I don’t typically like shows at large venues, but ended up seeing Coldplay at the White River Ampitheatre thanks to a free box seat (thanks Shar and Dan!).

Perhaps I should re-think my stance on large venues. The sound quality was surprisingly good, the light show well done, crowd energy was high (probably due to the fact that every woman there [and some men] were hoping they could sleep with the lead singer), and the seats were nice (admittedly, that’s an exception).

As part of our VIP treatment, tacos were served.
