Stevie_P Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Bolton gig I was there too with 3 friends, 5 rows back, font left. Fantastic view, couldn't beleive how close we were. Was a really good atmosphere, thankfully not like the glasgow gigs. No trouble at all. the doves were an excellent warm up - sorry, I'm still not sure who the first band were..!?? The set was amazing, lighting incredible, highlights for me were fix you, swallowed by the sea, warning sign and clocks was a stand-out number! Was however shocked when the guy tried to charge me £15 for a programme!!! All in all an awesome evening, and my friends now realise why I like coldplay so much! Set list:- correct me if I'm wrong, but I dont think they played "what if" Square One’ ‘Politik’ ‘Yellow’ ‘God Put A Smile Upon Your Face’ ‘Speed Of Sound’ ‘Low’ ‘Warning Sign’ ‘Everything’s Not Lost’ ‘White Shadows’ ‘The Scientist’ ‘Till Kingdom Come’ ‘Don’t Panic’ ‘Clocks’ ‘Talk’ ‘swallowed by the sea’ ‘In My Place’ ‘Fix You’ ‘Fix You’ (repeat) (with fireworks and some crazy "lights guiding", swinging lantern trick) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lara_(me) Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 Man, they were great last night. The audience didnt really get into it though until "Clocks", at least in the stadium seats. Stupid old people and their assigned seating and their unwillingness to be excited about Coldplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 'I want to write a review, however I do reckon the page could end up being blank..... for a fan to try, and possibly describe, "2 nights of Coldplay"....2 nights of coldplay Heaven' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bart Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 went to see Oasis on Saturday.... all I can say about that. The Music are a fantastic band, that I want to hear about more. She bangs the drums, by the stone roses played by the PA before they come on seemed to get the biggest cheer of the night. After that Oasis pretty much came on, played for 2 minutes, something fucked up at the front and they went away for 40 mins or so then come back on to what seemed at some moments they just wacked in a CD. Oh it was pretty easy to get a pint, that was slightly other good thing about the night apart from Stone Roses tune.... Some places could take a tip on how, 'The city of Manchester Stadium' orgainise things. Espically when it comes to getting a drink. DATE 4TH JULY 2005 !!! Thank you coldplay for making a fantastic moment in my life..... THANK YOU SO MUCH... !! DATE 5th JULY 2005!!! COLDPLAY HEAVEN IS A MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenjie Posted July 6, 2005 Share Posted July 6, 2005 going crazy in the stadium seats? chance would have been a fine thing. the Rock Steady fella near us was really mean. told one woman off early on for standing up in case she fell over the railing. would like to see how many people fall off when they jump up for goals at the footie if its that bad!!

You should have been at the front during Politik! :D Yeah, assigned seating is for squares! It was weird cause every other time i've seen them everyone around me was just as excited as i was, but this time Coldplay were at a great distance, so maybe thats why people werent into it. But I would get excited and dance and jump up and down and people around me just stared at me as though i was crazy. You know what I think? I think THEY'RE the crazy ones.

RA-D Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 hey up, i was on the rail at front centre-right, had been at the stadium since 10:30am. Was a great concert, one of the best experiences of my life, even without Coldplay. A day I'll never forget for sure. I was the most 'blue' person at the front apparently. I was glad the band were on top of their game as I'd seen U2 twice at Manchester last month but the qualities of their performances over the two nights were quite different - I hadn't seen the first night here, but they were superb on the second. Morning Runner were great, I thought, although I was a bit disappointed with Doves. Can't wait to hear Morning Runner's album when they get round to making one. The audience was great where I was, obviously, and the ladies I was with seemed flattered by Chris' attention to our area. I spent most of my time watching Mr Buckland and Mr Berryman as I hadn't previously seen much flair in their playing, but this night both seemed to be quite into it and even the screens weren't entirely focused on Mr Martin. Get my photos back on CD tomorrow, though am not too hopeful about quality so don't expect any here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
