Mari is at this show so we'll hopefully get something :D

 

I'm soooooorry I didn't come here earlier but my bus back from Birmingham was at 3am, so i got home at nearly 6 and NEEDED to sleep...

 

The concert was absolutely brilliant.

My seat was right in front of Jonny's ramp so I got to see a lot of Chris+Jonny action.

The crowd was absolutely fantastic. A guy in the stands, before the concert started doing a 'ola' and it took a while to catch up, but when it did... boy it was beautiful to see the whole arena doing the 'ola' three times in a row (I got it filmed).

 

The concert was brilliant and I was a bit afraid the band would be tired after 2 concerts in a row in the same venue but they were amazing!!! And the crowd singing was beautiful!! I think Chris and the band were quite impressed!!

 

They sang Green Eyes. Omg! And LiT ii live is just too good (I got a video!!)

 

And I managed to get a bagfull of butterflies (Ok, I looked stupid throwing myself on the floor after the concert ended, but i don't really care...)

 

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

in the first birmingham show they got lit 2 so why didnt anyone going tonight get a good video of lit2 cause they mustve known it was gonna be played

 

sorry for the double post. but just to let you know i have a video of lit ii from last night.

i'll post it here as soon as i upload it.

:nice:

Yay! :D :kiss:

Great photos, the butterflies one is now my desktop background :)

Went to my first Coldplay concert last night (NIA, 3rd December), being a fan ever since Parachutes.

 

Concert was great, sound was fantastic, band was really energetic. They played 'Life In Technicolor II' to end the show, my favourite track off the new EP. Will sang 'Death Will Never Conquer', I thought he was really good. They also tried 'Speed of Sound' acoustic.... it didn't work. But everything else was brilliant. Chris was joking around with the crowd and they just looked genuinely happy to be out there. It was nice hearing 'Green Eyes' again, too. Brings back memories. 'Viva La Vida' and 'Lovers in Japan' were orgasmic.

 

Only complaint I could make were the people around me... I was the only one dancing and singing along! Everybody else was sitting down, stony faced. I was on the upper tier, left side when looking from the stage. I've definitely gotta go floor level next time!

 

Oh, as for support, there was a band called 'The Juniors', they were average, not bad but nothing special either. The abstract/trance/psychedelic dance guy was absolute rubbish. Especially the videos he was showing, absolutely awful. I was laughing at them with a girl in the seat next to me, who I'd never met before.

Does this make me slightly famous lol. Note the first and third pics are actually videos, you'll need to go to Flickr to view them. I've got a couple more that I'll upload to YouTube ASAP.

 

Was a great gig. My first Coldplay one but I shall be getting up early to try and get tickets for Wembley :)

First concert for me. Wow! What an experience.

 

Highlights: Acoustic Green Eyes, Politiks, Life in Technicolour 2 and Yellow. Junior were pretty decent too.

 

Low points: Jon Hopkins (music was OK, but in the wrong context), some rotter making my tickets disappear in the post!

 

Had a great night, thankful in the knowledge that the loony fortysomething women with flailing arms was four seats away so I was safe!!! She made me feel old!!

 

Maybe I am being a bit trainspotterish, but does anyone know who the artist(s) was for the incidental music they played before the support acts? Some of it was good too.

I recognised Bloc Party amongst some of that stuff. I think it was a mixture of loads of different tracks.

 

As for tickets disappearing, my parents also went to the concert last night, although sitting in a different part of the arena. But they got scammed, and the tickets never arrived. Fortunately more tickets were made available on Tuesday, and they managed to get seats slap bang next to the B stage.
