sarahduffus Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 open61, thanks for putting your videos up. Can you put Fix You back up, because YouTube is stating it's unavailable. Also, if anyone else got video of the two numbers in the stands where you can actually see the band, can they put it up? I was in a box that night and had a pretty good view. There was a guy in a green shirt who was practically peeing his pants, he was so excited. lol a bunch of people in my row were talking about the 'guy in the green shirt' he looked so happy, definately would've loved to be him i recorded it from section 105, so it was a section over. it's a side view though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephBerryman Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Thanks :)... Which Canon do you have? The settings you use usually tend to make a big difference. If you have a manual mode on your camera, experiment with that a bit... if you haven't already. You'll like the results! i have the canon powershot SD1100 IS. I do have the manual mode, but haven't used it. I'm going to play around with it...hopefully, better results will come. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busybeeburns Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 A critic confesses: Chris Martin melted me Whenever I have a conversation with someone about this strange job I do, the question always comes up: "How do you keep an open mind?" It actually gets easier with time. I've been at this music-critic thing for 10 years and if going to shows every other night has taught me anything, it's that I should allow myself to be surprised. Sometimes you know what awaits. I'll be attending my seventh Backstreet Boys show next week, for instance and I can say right now that I will loathe every minute of it. Sometimes, though, you find the evening's dreaded assignment morphing into an altogether pleasant night out. Which is exactly what happened this past Wednesday when I grudgingly stepped out to catch Coldplay at the Air Canada Centre. I don't hate the band or anything and actually dig a few of their tunes, but I'd seen them before a couple of years ago and found them very nothing-special live. "Better take some stimulants," counselled a friend. Still others mocked me for being a nancy boy in love with Chris Martin. I was cynical. Martin's sensitive soul and cracked falsetto has certainly won him his share of admirers. The sold-out crowd at the ACC was stacked with young women travelling in packs, all dolled up for their boyfriend and giddy in anticipation of being personally serenaded with "Fix You." There was good energy in the stands, then, and a hyperactive Martin returned it in kind, dashing about the stage like a gawky madman and clearly taking his job as entertainer very seriously. Damn it, I did kinda like him, and I was taken aback at how many indelible hits the band had unleashed on the planet in just a few years. I decided to splurge on a $9 can of Canadian and cave in to the moment. I had fun. I admitted to myself that "Fix You" was a pretty lovely tune, and that anyone who can dust off a song like that for a wife who's just lost her father – as Martin did for Gwyneth Paltrow – is soooo laid. It's not all there yet, mind. Coldplay's live show still doesn't quite hit those periods of transcendence that I've experienced watching, say, Radiohead or the Notwist or Black Rebel Motorcycle Club – instances when the music just veers off somewhere I never expected and I'm totally taken out of myself for a few minutes. They almost hit it on the latter half of "42," which started quietly and then turned into an ominous, spastic psych-out, but they're too stiff as players to cut loose like that very often. And they should. Coldplay needs to loosen up. Until then, they won't have their Joshua Tree or OK Computer moment. I'm not giving up on them, though. I think they might just hit it. http://www.thestar.com/News/article/471557 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cpfan50 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 does anyone know which camera the bald guy is using? its the one chris mentioned during yellow. i swear when he mentioned the camera, for a second i thought that he was talking to me haha I think it's a mini video camera, rather than a photo camera. It looks like this newish thing called a 'Flip' Video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is weird. Sorry it's a little grainy when it's bigger... Had to use a high ISO setting for the show. http://flickr.com/photos/27404719@N03/2725806427/sizes/l/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green_eyes11 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 i have the canon powershot SD1100 IS. I do have the manual mode, but haven't used it. I'm going to play around with it...hopefully, better results will come. Thanks! I've heard that's a great camera! Ya, the best thing you can do is teach yourself more about the manual mode. Have fun experimenting with new settings! Feel free to PM me if you ever have questions :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
