It’s a good noisy crowd that sing through the show at the Ahoy - none more so than when the band are on the B-Stage and the cheer for Will during Us Against The World is so huge that the song grinds to a halt amidst disbelieving giggles on stage.

Edit: Well I'm happy they're at least trying to do some setlist changes.

Just is so cool. The boys, especially Chris, lives for this kind of reaction. Perhaps they'll do this for all the gigs next summer as well. It'd be so cool.

^ Why especially Chris?

i would say because to him, it means his friends are getting the recognition they deserve. :wacko:

It's good that we showed them their Dutch crowds can be great :)

:wacky:

 

 

AWWWWW :')

Coldplay round off the year by working on a brand new song

 

I hadn’t thought about it until Chris mentioned it on the B-stage. He thanks the Frankfurt crowd and mentions that Germany is where this tour really started, back on Rock im Park all those months ago. Fitting then, that we bring the show back here just before we break for Christmas.

 

I don’t think there can be anyone not going home from this tour not feeling as though they’ve been hit by a truck (or indeed, by a dozen of them, or however many it is we’re up to now). It’s been an utterly bonkers six or seven months, but looking at the way the record has been taken to people’s hearts and how joyous the shows are, you can’t help but conclude it’s been worthwhile.

 

I’m going to keep this one brief. Primarily because in the rush to get out of the back door in the runner to the airport, I left my memory card in my camera, which means all my photographic evidence from the past few days is on a truck to Abu Dhabi. (I promise I’ll dig a few things out for you once we hit new year.)

 

I should probably tell you that we had a rather interesting soundcheck in Berlin today, with a bunch of files finding their way over the internet to me from the studio for the fellas to work on before doors. It’s not a song that’s likely to be in the set for a good while. I’d say that once they’ve finished writing and recording it though, it’s got a good chance…

 

Order of business today was mainly Will’s drums. There’s something about the sound of a drumkit exploding through an enormous PA in an empty arena that no amount of studio gimmickry is going to be able to beat. So the work in progress track is fed to Will’s ears and he slams into it, shaking the dust from the highest rafters.

 

I believe that some of the drum sound on Up In Flames came from the soundcheck in The Roundhouse when Chris first played the song to the rest of the band - so this afternoon may well end up - well, wherever this song finds itself…

 

I’ll leave you with a photo of one of the audience from the Frankfurt show. Looks kinda familiar, can’t quite put my finger on it, but I’m sure I’ve seen this fella before…

 

 

Merry Christmas folks,

They are working on a new song!

I wonder if it was the same song playing in Chris' head the other day on Geoff Lloyd's program?

It's one of the ones that will be on the EP. :lol::wink3::laugh3:

^ Why especially Chris?

 

B/c he's vocal about it? We don't get to hear from the others very much. I bet Will felt really good, but Chris is the mouth piece of the band.

I think that the new song will be a live special like The Dubliners and Don Quixotte

This is how rumors start :P

Just because Chris mentioned it doesn't mean the rest enjoys it less. I was there and saw the look on their faces and they were all equally amazed by our cheering :)

They are working on a new song!

 

This is the best bit of news of this month. It means that they boys are far from finished and it is likely that we will be able to hear an LP6.

^:nod: I was like "HALLELUJAH" when I read it, because it shows that they still have inspiration (and honestly I was concerned about that, I mean I know they're not finished yet, but my big worry was if they had enough inspiration or not...) :D :lol:

 

 

I CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR THIS NEW SONG

:dance::dance::dance::dance:

Well, I didn't have the benefit of being present. I'm glad you got to witness the moment.

A new song is great news. I was a little surprised to read that, to be honest. If R42 writes about it, it must be something special...

 

Even though it will be a long time before we hear it, if ever.

Who would say 2 months ago they were giving interviews saying they couldn't make another record

New song! :dance:

Merry Christmas
