comments:

This was when they were playing mostly music from their 1st release, "Parachutes", but starting to throw in a few from the second, "a rush of blood to the head". Avalon is a disco, and this was for most, the only chance for Americans to get up close and personal with Coldplay, since after this they became America's new favorite British darlings.

Chris remarks that they are not a new band, but that this was probably the first time Boston had seen Coldplay and they hoped they would be back.
They didn't know if they would be yet, but the answer came swiftly soon after, since they did come back to much larger venues all over the world and won several of music awards. Parachutes even got a Grammy award for best alternative album, and it's a nice one, but far too popular now to call it "alternative".

Coldplay released a DVD and CD set from Sydney, Australia's 2003 show, which is a good one. I don't listen to alot of pop bands, and whatever they're called, to me Coldplay is a pop band, with several pop hits. Some I like better than others, but it's not too hard to understand why this band got really big in not very long. Martin's vocals are some of the most distinctive of this decade, and it's romantic and sensitive, not silly or stupid pop. that music has its place in all our lives at some point. I still haven't found that place yet, but still holding out hope I find it someday. A very nice recent Coldplay post from Mountainview, Ca. in 2003 reminded me how good they sound live and inspired me to post this.
