Coldplay Live at Crystal Palace, Diss Publishing and Molluscs, Diss and London - 28th June 2005

Suey has a spare ticket for Coldplay at Crystal Palace and eventually pesters Nosher in to going. It's an all-in-one trip, with coach travel included, so at least there's not the hassle of getting there and back, and the gig, despite the occasional torrential rain, is pretty good, with possibly the best lights since Genesis at Wembley Stadium.

next album: The BSCC Charity Bike Ride, Walberswick, Suffolk - 9th July 2005
previous album: A Combine Harvester and the Pig Roast, Thrandeston, Suffolk - 26th June 2005
