Portion of a review. "Coldplay proved to be an even better choice for a second-night headliner in practice than on paper. It's true that MIA draws a mixed crowd - it's one of the festival's most appealing attributes. Made in America truly looks like America - only drunker. But most years, that winning Philly mix of black and white has dissipated toward closing time when the last rock act comes on and plays to a mostly white audience. That didn't happen Sunday, because the Chris Martin band makes eminently agreeable, buoyantly melodic music that crosses racial lines. Fireworks went boom at the start of the band's 90-minute set with the mildly psychedelic "A Head Full Of Dreams," and glow sticks that were handed out at the entrance lit up during "Yellow," and pretty much everybody stuck around and sang along. Coldplay is an easy target if there ever was one. They're soft rockers who can tend toward the soporific. They're shameless panderers - "It's the last night of the summer in one of the coolest cities in the world" - like U2 without the edge or hubris. The band's bright and breezy music and genial attitude surely were suited to the task of closing out the grueling two-day forced march of Made in America. The band's predictably sturdy songs are built for open spaces, and that goes for both the high-energy numbers and quieter moments like "Evergold," a Hallmark card that Martin sent out to those suffering in Syria, Louisiana, and Italy, and which ended with a film clip of Muhammad Ali advocating for compassion for his fellow man. (It also began with birthday wishes to Beyoncé, of whom Martin said, "She's 107 years old, I can't quite believe it.")" link
Evergold?

I'll just come out & say how pleased I was to see so many black & brown people rocking to Coldplay. It made me extremely happy. Hopefully the band gained a few more fans last night. Everyone should experience the delight that is Coldplay.

I love how diverse their audience is as well. I don't think there are too many bands that are able to grab the attention of fans from across sex, cultural, racial or age lines and keep hold like they can. I think a lot of credit goes to Chris, Jay Z and Beyonce and their relationship and who all seem to be very open-minded, decent people who see others as they are, just people, and who are also accepting of different types of music, and it's paid off for all of us.

I have to agree, when Leann and I were in LA, there was every race, every color, every kind of person you can imagine.

"Made in America truly looks like America - only drunker." Uh yeah that's exactly why I was originally worried LOL BUT, obviously there was no need to worry! Our boys rocked the house and every single person in the crowd, brown, white, drunk or sober, and everything in between! Thanks Sharon for recording, I managed to catch part of it last night via my phone but I definitely want to watch it again and see the whole thing.
