busybeeburns Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Am I alone in saying that Coldplay's performance this year was poor by their standards - riddled with mistakes and off tune notes from Chris and Chris alone? (And I'm not talking only Warning Sign here) Just got round to listening to Glastonbury mp3s (after watching full gig on telly on Saturday) and I gave up after Low :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimixxx Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I never saw it and only heard the Lamacq broadcast of it, but it sounded good to me :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 Seemed pretty damn good on Saturday night, but i will watch the video again and then judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyaarene Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Me too, i have only heard the mp3s so far, but i will watch the performance to judge again later. It sounded good though, and i love how Chris changed some of the lyrics at the end of the songs... :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gentleparachute Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Well, I don't know about them being not up to mark overall as a band... But yeah, I agree Chris did have a lot of off-key / nearly off-key moments :P But performance-wise apart from his voice (seems to almost be near cracking point half the time :dozey: ), they were solid, especially the rest of the band... I've never seen them so note-perfect before... From what I've seen from the video, they've improved a lot (except Chris) since Live 2003. I can't decide why they weren't smiling much during the concert though... :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeIsOnYourSide Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 their mixed probably sucked really bad maybe thats why he was off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egghead Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 a mix doesnt equal missed notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimeIsOnYourSide Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 no...but if you can't hear what the tone is....its hard to reproduce it in your voice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazeboflossUK Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 I think it was a good performance. Yes, there was the odd note off here and there but it was WELL within the musical acceptability. I mean chris always sings out of tune notes at some point but I don't ever think of them as bad, they just happen and then they are gone. I have got the full thing on a DVD as video now and I watched it again yesterday & the only thing that irritated me was the sound of Will's floor tom. It obviously wasn't his fault it was the fault of whoever was responsible for the BBC's output mix - but it just sounded BAD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifi Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 I felt that the glasto performance was like watching the marley park gig again (apart from the kylie cover), because nearly everything was exactly the same, even the warning sign cock and the light spinning during yellow :dizzy: But all in all I think it was a good performance but not to their high standards :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JaK- Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 YES! Sorry but I thought it would be much much better. As a headlining band you would think they would of had the best show...But I enjoyed the killers, Royksopp and a load others way more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schnooker Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I think anyone who disses their Glasto performance, is blowing nothing out their arse. You guys must be pretty hard to please, as I thought their sound, attitude, and talent ripped through that Saturday night like nothing else. It was funny, as they played in Glasgow the night before Live8 and Mr. Martin blatantly asked the crowd to stop clapping as they were crap, and he kind of done the same thing at Glasto as well, by explaining that they are prone to making mistakes sometimes, albeit, due to nerves, rain or whatever else. I think people like that should be commended for their honesty, and let off because if nothing else, they are the ducks nuts !! Give them a break. I'd love to see all of you people out there headlining Glastonbury and pulling every single aspect of your performance off - to the tee ! Just a thought !

jonnybucklandhasnicehats Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 exactly! i was at the front too and it was utterly imense. when i watched the highlights on tv a few weeks ago it wasnt anything like as good. sound quality was crap. but for those who werent actually there it was an amazing gig and chris' voice sounded fantastic. live music on tv never reproduces the performance as highly. I've seen coldplay 9 times and glastonbury was maybe the best ive seen them. It was fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gareth brown Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I thought the sound was perfect. Whereabouts were you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnybucklandhasnicehats Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 pretty much centre on the barrier. nearly died having been pushed against the barrier for 12 hours tho! i absolutely loved it tho. the last glastonbury for two years, coldplay and loads of cool people! great combination!

gareth brown Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Haha! Exactly where I was, pretty much centre, though one person behind the barrier. I was stuck next to the most awful couple...sort of people who go round with fake tan in their fucking fifties and the wife was singing TERRIBLY in my ear for the whole bloody set...!!! :angry: Nearly ruined a good show...thank god I moved a bit halfway through. You in any photos on the internet? I managed to find a picture with my hat, eyebrow and right eye in it... :smug: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aakash Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 i was just sad they didnt play more , but they were def on form that night , i kinda wish they would do yellow with chris on acoustic instead of elecreic though , i had waited from 10 am that day to make sure i was at the very front , it was well worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess831 Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 I actually think it was one of their best performances I've seen with video. It was very high-energy and atmospheric, but vocal stuff-ups are just part of the package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
