September 3, 200817 yr create an account on youtube :) or if you dont want to bother, just upload them on rapidshare.com, or sendspace.com, or megaupload.com .. we'll just have to download them. Glad to know you had a great time btw ! I'd love to read a full review :nice: Thank you, Chavi! Okay,I`ll try to upload it, but it could take some time... (the quality could be better, but the audio is quite good) And I´ll write a review (that will take a lot of time, because my English sucks:\)
September 3, 200817 yr Thanks for your correction! Did you get this via your videos you recorded? I'm still unsure about Speed of Sound being played before Chinese Sleep Chant but apart from that I support this upgraded setlist! (42 must have been played after Yellow as the video above proves... my bad ;-) )

(42 must have been played after Yellow as the video above proves... my bad ;-) ) I recorded the beginning of every song they played :) But now I have more than 30 videos :stunned: And I`m quite sure that Sos was played before Chinese Sleep Chant :)
September 3, 200817 yr OMG...I love this version of talk....:blush: yes, talk was great... I never liked the song but this version was :o )
September 3, 200817 yr Author It would be best if you'd just upload your videos on rapidshare or megaupload. It's easy for you and above all I think youtube decreases the quality of the video you upload! you can't then view them in the threads or use them for Wiki if you use filesharing though
September 3, 200817 yr I've updated my statistics ;) http://coldplay-vivalavida-tour-stats.blogspot.com/ Don't hesitate to comment them or suggest something :)
September 3, 200817 yr "Chinese sleep chant"!!!! OMG! you just reminded me that he kissed Guy during "chinese sleep chant". i went completely insane when he did that. :laugh3: not sure if he kissed jonny too. i was too busy being looney. and no, they did not play any new songs. OMFG I wanna see that!!
September 3, 200817 yr How do I have to post links so that YouTube vids are showing up?? Here's "42": I wished there were vids with Chris speaking german *wants* Where did you guys stand? How was it with queuing?? When I look at the crowd I can't imagine that you're seeing something so far at the back :o
September 3, 200817 yr Okay, here is my review, I hope you get what I`m saying because I´m a just 15-year old German girl that can`t speak real English ;) I went to this concert with my cousin and we arrived at 7.00h in Mannheim. There were really many people standing outside, but the arena was quite empty as we took our seats. We had seats on the right side of the stage (the perfect seats for a Jonny fan <3) and a quite good view. The band playing before Coldplay was Albert Hammond Jr. (at least I think so, I`m not sure ;) ). They were quite good but nothing special. After they left the stage, more people came in to the sold out arena and the crowd began to clap and scream and I was excited as hell :) And then they came. Because I stood right to the stage I could see them even if they were standing behind the curtainJ. Unluckily the people next to me were boring, and so I was the only one standing and dancing the whole time. Life in Technicolor was great, the band was full of energy and they rocked instantly after they appeared on stage! The next song was Violet Hill. The huge album cover was displayed behind them and everything was lighted in blue when the curtain was lift up. Clocks was great as usual, at first with red light, later with green spotlights. The following song was In my place and Chris was jumping all over the stage. Jonny walked to the small stage on the left. Chris said something like: “ Everybody okay? Thank you for coming out to the Coldplay concert on Tuesday evening, this is my best friend Jonny Buckland” and he…well…touched Jonny ;) Then he lay on the ground while Jonny was playing above him :D <3 The next song was Cemeteries of London. I really hoped they would play it, because it`s one of my favourite song of VLV. J They used the magic balls the first time ( the big one in the middle was shining like a mirror ball), and everything was lighted in blue. I don`t understand why they didn`t play the song at the beginning of the tour, it´s amazing in the live version. Yellow was following, and Chris was again jumping around. The big screen behind them showed Chris singing now and the end he asked the crowd:” Are you okay over there? Are you okay over there? Are okay down here?” again and again in every direction and said “Dankeschön” (Thank you). The next song was 42, my favourite song of the album <3. Now not only the big screen but also the magic balls showed Chris singing at the slow part of the song. Then the stage was lighted in red and the screen showed all four band members in turn. Speed of Sound followed and the whole crowed clapped. The magic balls shined in all colours and looked like they would spin. Chinese Sleep Chant is amazing live, too. The lights were all yellow and Chris stood near Guy while playing acoustic guitar (unfortunately I couldn`t see Chris kissing him, like some people said L ). The next song was God put a smile upon your face with a crazy but cool guitar riff from Jonny. I`ve never heard the song in this version, but it`s great! Yes followed, as good as I expected it to be. Then Chris went to the small stage on the left side of the main stage and played a wonderful acoustic version of Talk. I`d say it was better than the original version. He changed into Hardest Part, also acoustic and really beautiful. At the end he played a melody I´ve never heard before, it sounded like classical music and now I`ve got told that it was Postcards from far away (thanks to Lauve), but the song didn´t have lyrics :( Chris stood up and began to sing Lost! And ask the crowd to get up, clap, sing and dance with him. Viva la vida wasthe next song, amazing (with a dancing Chris) as usual. The crowd loved the song and everybody sang the chorus as loud as they could. And they didn´t stop to sing while the band went to the back of the arena to play an acoustic version of the Scientist ( the band had to wait until the crowd stopped singing). Unluckily I couldn`t see them anymore L. Death will never conquer followed and I have to admit that Will is a great singer, he has a lovely voice! The band came back to the main stage in the dark and we could hear an incredible version of Talk that sounded a bit like techno to me. Politik was the next song. The big magic ball in the middle looked like the earth while everything around was dark – beautiful. Lovers in Japan started in violet light and with this strange film on the screen behind the stage. Everyone went crazy when the butterflies came down the first time, the second kind of butterflies shone in the dark. :flutterby: The next song was Death an all his friends with a big“Viva”on the screen. Chris said:” Thank you for this Tuesday evening” and the rest can`t be described with words ;) . The band took a bow, went behind the stage and came back with Fix you. Chris jumped and ran around like he was crazy and the crowd was blown away. At the end Chris said: ” Bis bald!” (See you soon). The escapist was the final song and while Chris was singing, the magic ball showed the Oxfam logo. Everybody got out the arena quickly, some people where still singing Viva la Vida, and I went down to the floor to get me a few butterflies. Outside the arena many people stood in front of the merchandising shop (me too) and bought t-shirts. I got a Shirt for 30 € (everything was extremely expensive L), a poster and the wonderful Tourbook with amazing pictures J. When we got back to our car, the people were still singing!
September 3, 200817 yr I started to upload the end of IN MY PLACE. I you want me to upload another one, just ask me because I can`t upload them all, it didn`t work :(

You`re welcome :) They played Postcards from far away in Strasbourg :shocked2: !? I didn`t know that! Wait, I´ll check if they played it in Mannheim too!
September 3, 200817 yr Yes, you`re right! I didn`t know that it was Postcards from far away! Wonderful song :flutterby: I`ll change my review! But there were no lyrics :( Maybe it`s a acoustic version like Life in Technicolor:thinking: Chris didn`t say a word about it!
September 3, 200817 yr yes Becky's and Grace's reviews are even great to me, though i've been there too. most funny part of the show was when chris asked us a couple of times if we were ok over there during yellow. i wish i could upload this, i got a clip of it. and though i got an account at youtube, the upload didn't work.

I have this part of Yellow too, but I can`t upload it either :( It would take 4 hours :veryangry2: But I can try it with pictures!
September 3, 200817 yr I`m uploading! 20% right now :/ it will still take some time but I won`t give up:)
September 3, 200817 yr i'm also trying to upload a video while they were playing "in my place". but it took over 130 MB (with a resolution of 640x480) so with youtube or zshare it's very difficult and the upload is still in process :/
