Steve Jobs Makes Appearance at Coldplay Concert

[MacRumors]

One of Coldplay's roadies reports that Steve Jobs attended the band's concert at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California on Monday night and made a backstage visit to chat with some of the band members and other VIPs.

I'll be honest with you folks, the only thing that mattered to me tonight was the presence of one Steve Jobs. I'm a confirmed Apple devotee and I really cannot imagine doing the job I do now (or even having got into this line of work) without my Macbook Pro (and all the Powerbooks that went before it). Creating these tools and putting them into the hands of folks like me was the vision of this man.

I spot Steve chatting with Dave Holmes outside the dressing room and suddenly feel like a star-struck teenager. In order to get the gall up to speak to the guy, I down a double espresso. The mixture of caffeine buzz and feeling like a cheesy little fanboy means that all I can manage to say to him is "Thank you so much". I realise that I'm quite simply making a tit of myself and so excuse myself as fast as I appeared.

With that, I suddenly have sympathy for every nervous and excitable kid that shakes hands with the band at a meet and greet.

As many Apple fans know, Coldplay's music has frequently been featured as part of Apple's keynotes and media events, suggesting a certain affection for the band on Jobs' part.

The concert is one of the first confirmed public sightings of Jobs since his return from a six-month medical leave of absence that included a liver transplant earlier this year. While Jobs has been quoted in several Apple press releases since his return, he has not yet made a public appearance in his resumed role as Apple CEO.

Sweet. I wonder how their meet and greet went?

"Hi, i'm Steve Jobs. Nice to meet you!"

 

[markfc]

He saw Steve, and "he was all yellow"

 

[dbonesyl]

So did he look healthy? I can't believe this story didn't mention if he looked well or not.

How does someone who claims themselves as a fanboy not report on how well steve looked thats what we all really care about...

 

[Peace]

I'd say going to a show at Shoreline. Something I've done many times, is enough to tell me he's in better shape. That place is very hard to get around in.

I wonder if meeting Steve sent a "Shiver" down his spine?

(I've hit a new low - making bad coldplay puns)

Hopefully we will see Jobs giving the keynote at the September iPod event on September 8th! 😀

(Seems like September 8th is a good date!)

Oh, you beat me to it!

My daughter, Performa 6400, is still waiting to meet Mr. Jobs.

You're lucky, you can actually make a Coldplay pun; I've never listened to it before, though I HAVE heard of Coldplay before. Just that they exist nothing more.

I would love to meet Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak in my lifetime! 😀

He didn't say he was a douche bag, he said he was a fan. Maybe he believes in Steve having some privacy?

Because he has respect for the guy. Medical issues are Steve's personal issues.

In other news, I bet we can count on Steve making a small appearance in September for the iPod event, if any event occurs.

It will be AFTER the promotion is over... 🙄

Nice. Poor taste but nice 🙂.

Same here. I've been trying for weeks to find something brief to say to either of them with no real results.

cold play.. yucko

This "article" without a photo, is worthless.

Or he could have had a strange "Rush of Blood to the Head". 😀

I did get to meet Steve Wozniak. It was very cool, but he is very normal. It's something to meet someone who is so accomplished yet is still so down to earth. (If I had done what he has, I'd probably be a arrogant schmuck.)

 

[Burnsey]

Regardless of what many think, Coldplay is an exceptional band. Steve obviously has good taste.

 

[dejo]

Makes sense. Coldplay is the new U2. And U2 is now busy whoring themselves out to Crackberry.

And Coldplay isn't busy whoring themselves out to Crapple?
