The first of Coldplay's three concerts at Eden Park is a night many concert-goers will never forget. 

Over 50 thousand people braved the bad weather last night, the rain unable to dampen the electric energy of the performance. 

Newstalk ZB's Matt Heath told Mike Hosking he arrived a critic and left a fan. 

He says he always found frontman Chris Martin to be a talented man, but one with a sort of punchable vibe around him – but after that concert, he’d follow him into battle. 

‘He’s one of the greatest men I’ve ever seen – he's up there with Freddie Mercury and Mick Jagger.”
