Mooie ellbogen is a dutch song that Chris once sung at a gig in Ahoy, Rotterdam.

And I wasn't at the concert, so I can't tell you more about it :(

All I know is that the people who were at the gig were very happy afterwards and they all got t-shirts.

They couldn't record it, because security took away all mobile phones and stuff.

I just read that Chris Martin had signed some girls iPod :lol:

I can't tell: Unfortunately, the link you have clicked is not available. :/

Yeah...I don't know how to make it work...

I tried twice...

And the file is so small! BOOOHHHH

I let you all know, if I hear anything more about this secret gig and especially about X&Y, 'Till Kingdom come and Low.

It still doesn't work, but they sung mooie ellebogen right after Green Eyes.

There is also anoter dutch song called Dutch Song. But it's different from Mooie Ellebogen.

I've got also this other one!

He says something like: Ich bien an eisser....and he repeats this some times...

(I don't speak dutch so I don't know...)

I hope now it works!

 

:confused:

Envy me, I was there :wink3:

First off, I'll quote Chris: the concert was "f*cking great". I'm not even gonna try to describe how good it actually was. I'll never forget april 6th 2005.

The new songs (X&Y, Low, Til kingdom come) were amazing. Til kingdom come sounds like See You Seen meets Johny Cash. 100% acoustic. Chris f*cked up at one point, though, but it's a beautiful song. Personally I found X&Y the least impressive of the 3. But it's obviously a song which has to grow on you. Low was incredible. Very up-tempo, amazing riffs. Watch out for this one, it'll blow you over at first listen and will only get better every time you'll listen to it, no doubt in my mind about that.

If you want to know more, just ask, I'll do my best to answer.

 

btw there was about 5 of us waiting at the tourbus outside after the gig. They came in pairs, first it was Guy and Chris. Guy seemed a bit timid, believe it or not. And Chris was incredibly friendly. There were these bodyguards who kept urging him to step inside the van, but he took his time to sign everything we trust into his hands and to pose for pictures with all of us.

WOW......I envy you so much...

How many people do I have to envy? (how many people were there with you yesterday?)

X&Y? what's this song about?

DNA?

How does Low compare to your favorites on AROBTTH and Parachutes? Hard to judge by one listen i know, but just thought I would ask.

I found this on the official board:

 

Yesterday (wednesday 6th July) Coldplay played a secret gig in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

 

The setlist:

1. Square One

2. Politik

3. Speed Of Sound

4. God Put A Smile Upon Your Face

5. Warning Sign

6. X&Y

7. Yellow

8. Low

9. The Scientist

10. Til Kingdom Comes

11. Clocks

12. What If

*********************

13. In My Place

14. A Message

15. Amsterdam

 

Footnotes:

X&Y features Chris on piano. Very melodic. Beautiful piano outro.

Features the lyrics: "You and me surfing on tidal waves, you and me floating in outer space" (... or something like that)

 

Low is the loudest guitar track since Yellow. Guaranteed favourite for the new album, and possible single if you ask me

 

Til Kingdom Comes is lovely Chris/Jonny track. Is fully acoustic, much like 'Green Eyes'

 

Lovely evening. Magical.

 

P.s. They completely f*cked up 'Amsterdam'

 

Yup, that would've been my post :smug:

 

Strange though, I also posted this on the Coldplaying.com forum around the same time, but it seems to have disappeared? :embarrased:

man its already been played' date=' of course you cant go[/quote']

 

why does it say July 6 ? :/

 

Typo... ofcourse should be April 6.

Sorry.

is there a bootleg of this gig out there????

 

Nope, but it was recorded for Dutch TV and radio.

But they aren't allowed to air/show it before the album's released.

 

Will be aired on June 5th.

Not sooner :embarrased:

Some pics I found:
