title Coldplay Live at Crystal Palace, Diss Publishing and Molluscs, Diss and London - 28th June 2005 intro 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. img_1798 The gang at Bury St Edmund's bus station img_1799 Suey and Phil queue up for merchandise gouging img_1800 Support act The National are on stage img_1811 The crowds in the footbal stadium img_1812 Jen and Simon in the crowd img_1818 Umbrellas are out as it starts lashing rain img_1820 The crowd deals with several deluges img_1823 The rain lashes down img_1844 Possibly Coldplay, it's hard to tell img_1863 It's like wartime searchlights img_1865 The crowd in the fading light img_1873 Chris Martin on piano img_1883 An umbrella hat img_1902 More striking searchlights img_1916 An impressive light show img_1920 A spooky photo of Phil and Suey img_1921 The stage explodes with light img_1947 The rain dumps on the crowd after the gig finishes imgp7298a The bad weather continues with lightning at home imgp7351 Diss Publishing's new extension in progress imgp7352 The new extension and a bit of the old building imgp7365 Snails are on the loose in the back garden imgp7366 A snail scales a wall imgp7370 More mollusc action imgp7384 Eyes on stalks imgp7396 More eyes on stalks imgp7401 The greenhouse is going well
