and what does it say on the wall?

 

WARPAINT - 9:25 PM

Kind of irrelevant but can anyone make out the intro song they are using here? It sounds very UFO/Sci-Fi-ish

they are using normal clothes there...

 

and what does it say on the wall?

 

I think they were wearing the new theme clothes :uhoh: (at least Will's got a MX patch on his T-shirt and Jonny's outfit seems to match the clothing style we've seen on pics so far) However, the clothes indeed looked more normal and less colourful, or maybe it was just the light that made them look less bright :thinking:

 

The video was very nice, it made me more excited about Friday, it's nice seeing them a little nervous before their first new era show (well not in front of a fan audience, but anyways). I've always liked it when the do that huddle thing :)

Haven't posted for years but I might have found something interesting about LP5 title, which according to this guy (haven't found another source about it...) would be "We're Not Even Going To Try To Hide It Anymore". Looks strange :inquisitive:

very interesting, although I don't think so. Very long title.

#42 reports back from the first show of the festival run

 

We all meet up around noon to head over to the first festival show. Co-incidentally, it's the exact time that the new single breaks cover and hits the radio waves for the first time.

 

Everyone wanders into the lounge with different news: "They gave it a rewind - so good they played it again straight away"; "Twitter has gone absolutely berserk"; "I can't even get on the fansites they're so busy - one of them is completely down".

 

It's a bit of a Team Coldplay gathering, with various management folks, some EMIs - even producer Markus Dravs is here to visit his homeland for a couple days.

 

The band, of course - the eye of this very hurricane - float in looking oblivious to anything going on at all. They are focused on the job in hand, namely playing a blinder of a festival show to get us off the blocks.

 

It's kind of a strange thing going back to doing huge shows after such a long gap. You know that this once felt very comfortable and familiar, but you feel one step removed from it, as if perhaps you shouldn't really be here. It's a little like revisiting your old school classroom several years after you took off the tie for the last time.

 

I imagine that the "slightly unfamiliar" vibe wasn't just limited to us folks. There was a fair chunk of new material tonight - a whole six songs of it - only one tune of which anyone in the audience stood any chance of having heard before.

 

The new stuff, though, is well received and people are clearly very excited to be hearing fresh work. It’s inevitable that brand new tunes receive an “attentive listen”, whereas the familiar chiming chords of the Viva intro ignite the place like a firework. It’s a brave and necessary move, though. Festivals particularly, could easily be a time to load the bomb bay with hit after crowd-pleasing hit to ensure rapturous applause throughout - putting yourself in the best light in front of the maximum number of people.

 

There would be an underlying weakness in that, though - like you’re admitting that all your best stuff is behind you and it’s those songs from years past that people are really here for. But this band is not a greatest-hits act yet. They are still striving to produce their finest and most potent work.

 

Given the way Jonny lets rip in HLH, I’d say that’s just what they’re doing.

 

 

Another point of note comes during UATW. Chris begins alone on acoustic guitar. Will joins him at the tiny pump organ and chimes in on backing vocal - earning him quite the hugest cheer I’ve ever heard for a simple harmony. The fact that it’s a tune nobody in the field has ever heard before seems somehow to make the response more genuine. Definite moment...

 

 

Obviously, all the favourites are present, correct and kicking plenty of the proverbial. The most glorious production moment is a completely unplanned one in Fix You. As the mobile phones get held aloft, Chris asks for all of the stage lights to be killed. Suddenly it’s just the sea of little blue lights and the song. Nothing else - and really, what else do you need?

 

The set closes with Every Teardrop… and it’s completely evident that it’s a great festival tune. It’ll be interesting actually, to see how the audience response changes as this song drills its way into the public conscience. I’m expecting each show to see it greeted more and more rapturously until it gets the same treatment as the Clocks piano riff or the Viva strings.

 

Overall, you couldn’t ask for a more solid first night. There are a million tweaks to make, a whole load of things that’ll slip into place, but for now it feels a little less like we’re visiting an old haunt and a lot more like we’re back where we belong…

Well, apparently the title really is Us against the world, and not Against the Wall...

so the DO visit here? (well not the band obviously, but their entourage)

well, Debs has an account here and she was actually posting quite a lot yesterday.

Howcome they played SIX NEW SONGS?! I dont think that makes sense, i thought they would release ETIAW and then leave it til LP5 until we hear anymore. Is there any news on these 6 tracks?

 

And what is UATW?

I feel like they are really testing some of the new songs during the fesitvals.Phil said on twitter that Chris just wrote a new song last night.So maybe of these songs wont even make the album.

#42 and the rocking in the rain

 

 

The human race, really, is pretty amazing.

 

If a wildlife documentary showed you a species gathering together in tens of thousands to sing and dance together, it would be gripping, unmissable television. If it showed this happening in torrential storm conditions with all of the assembled creatures showing no signs whatsoever of losing enthusiasm, you would sit and shake your head incredulously at the utter wonder of nature.

 

I looked out from the side of the stage on Saturday and saw the Rock Am Ring crowd going pleasingly berserk to Charlie Brown and couldn’t help but be astonished. Now, I’m not generally one for gazing in wonderment at humanity. The fact is, I tend to prefer keeping the majority of it at arms length if at all possible. How could you see this though and not let your stony heart be just a little warmed?

I can’t work out whether Saturday was great because it was a superb crowd, because the band had really hit a stride, because the setlist changes had hit on the magical flow or just because I’d made it through the stress and finally felt like I could look up and take in my surroundings.

 

I suspect as ever, that it’s a combination of factors. Whichever way though, it was a bona fide blinder. I’m also not sure if the new stuff has made it around the internet after the first show, or whether folks were genuinely greeting it rapturously on very first listen.

 

Whatever is going on here though, feels pretty bloody good to me.

When I went to the site to read this blog, for a second my timeline on the site was missing, and when I clicked on it, it took me to 2011! But it wouldn't show me the months, only stars (signifying new things). When I refreshed it, it went back to 2010 :( - but maybe new things are happening with the timeline?
