(think it might have been when the stoopid man knocked into me and sent me sprawling over the Oxfam stall).

 

 

Aww, I'm sorry Jen!

 

 

 

 

too bad Pete didn't catch you!

 

 

 

 

:wink3:

 

 

 

 

They seemed to be showing their b*lls by playing so very LOUD

 

 

 

uh, huh huh, huh huh! :wink3:

 

 

I got a nice one of Yellow and all the balls bobbing down on the floor.

 

 

 

 

Balls! :D

 

I need to go to UK gigs! :dance:

 

Thanks for the pics/vids and reviews! :kiss:

 

 

.

Jees I thought we were MASSIVE Coldplay fans until I visited this forum !!

 

Hey -I wasn't trying to upset or wind anybody up with my comments - this IS a forum and as such I expected to be able to air/share my thoughts .

 

I still stand by my tcomments that the overall sound was DISTORTED .... maybe we have been spoilt by the crisp , clear , CD quality of Incubus gigs !!??

 

Anyways , no hard feelings onmy part anyways .

your opinions are worth the same as everyone elses :)

 

The gig on the 11th was too loud from where I was sitting (block next to stage), but I was a bit further back last night and didn't come out with ringing ears. I don't know if they altered the sound levels though

 

 

 

 

Time for my review. Well what can i say. Out of this world simply out of this. They were in on fire. Giving their all. Got back at 3am to bristol so i hade to wait to get online. CColdplay were quite simply out of this world. Highlights were In my place, Yellow Viva la vida, Green eyes (no a song i was fond of before tonight). it was amazing they gave their all and chris was up for it, it felt like that he was talking to u only. One funny moment was a girl who was plastered and had to be escorted out. Great times seriously It was the night of my life and life in technicolor ii was simply amazing. Every song was played with heart and soul. The ballons were back which was nice and even tho i was in the top tier it did not matter because they made sure u heard every little world. Thank you coldplay im in ur debt forever

there were some people next to my at the side bar on the concourse opposide the bar, candyfloss and indian stall, I overheard them saying they came from Bristol and set off at 2pm. You?

Great pics Ian :D have you ever met the guys? :D

SQQQQQQUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

 

THANK YOU Jen:kiss: (Glad you got to go 2nights in a row:wink3:) Hope you feel better after your Coldplay high wears off :\

 

Ian, I think you must be obsessed with the Yellow balls:lol: Grrrrreat pics! But I think I love Jen a teeny bit more, 'cause she got the good Will pics:P

(don't ban me! I'm sorry! I didn't mean it! You are both equally cool!!;) hahaha)

Don't thank me, thank the camera :D I was trying to get a variety of shots, but every time I pressed the button the big screen flipped to Will. And most of the Guy shots I have from the screen are very blurry. The camera was just feeling the Will love :lol:

Woooooooo! I'm late to the party but looks like you guys had a lot of fun :dance:

 

Great pictures :D

this was only my 2nd coldplay gig, the first being the previous night!!! I have to say I far enjoyed the 2nd, maybe because I was a bit overwhelmed to finally being seeing them live, and I couldn't quite believe it was them I was watching, and not a tv!!!!! On the 11th I was in block 104 and only 4 seats from the acoustic 'platform' as I call it, and everyone in the block was standing and really into it, the 2nd I was in block 106, further back and not so close to 'the platform', and most of the people near me spent most of the night sat

down, which made me feel quite sad, but I never sat down and never stopped clapping and singing!!

 

I have always had a huge dislike for 'fix you' and 'politik' but after those two shows, I can say that I still don't like them! But 'politik' had a very powerful effect on me. Highlights for me though were '42', 'lovers in Japan' and the beautiful rendition of 'the hardest part'. I took many photos with my phone and video clips, but they are rubbish, so only for my personal enjoyment as proof that I actually was there!!!!

 

I am worn out now, only had 5 hours sleep in the last 2 days due to not getting home till 1.30am one night and last night 2am and then having to be up at 5.30am for work, and of course my head was still spinning, my hands almost bleeding and the voice has gone away and deserted me. I also spent rather too much on the merch! But was well worth it, I wouldn't change a thing!!!! I'm on top of the world now, thanks Coldplay!!!!!

much better than Thursday's, I wasn't deafened last night, I didn't have beer spilt all over my coat and jen didn't get barged by drunks. And the performance was flawless :D

Hey bellynelly you were sooo lucky to be up by the acoustic bit :) I thought Politik was fab last night too - really powerful (do love that song anyway, so I'm prob biased)

 

What did you get Merch wise? I wasn't going to get a programme but my brother got me one as a pressie on the way out. Now, I'm gonna frame it. I wanted some butterflies but I didn't get any :( :( :(

but I did nearly die on the tram on the way home instead :\ think I prefer being barged by drunks

we have 1 butterfly. we weren't in a position to pick any up but as we were leaving the arena one appeared in front of Ian

Awwww one lonely butterfly ...

 

btw thanks for putting my waffle of a reveiw up on the main blog - that's so cool :D

I got loads without trying when I went. I had been to Primarni and had a big bag and when I got home I found hundreds of them in there :lol:

 

I keep finding them in random places now, like my bed, they've taken over my room :uhoh:
