June 17, 200818 yr they shouldn't have wasted tickets on critics....there's so many fans missed out on tickets to allow these cynical bastards to go.....:rolleyes:
June 17, 200818 yr Mirror review: Gavin & Stacey star James Corden, Robbie Williams' songwriter Guy Chambers and assorted Radio One stars pitched up to see Coldplay's first live gig proper debuting their new album Viva La Vida last night. The free gig at London's Brixton Academy was packed out with fans and celebs who'd won a ballot to be one of the 4,000 people in the audience - and Mirror.co.uk is convinced we saw a tall, thin blonde woman and two young children on the upstairs balcony, but we can't be sure. Regardless of whether frontman Chris Martin's wife Gwyneth Paltrow and kids Apple and Moses was there or not however, the singer put 100% effort into his performance, despite rumours of an injury to his knee. Mirror.co.uk of course were there to see Steve Lamacq introduce the gig, which was broadcast live on Radio One. We also witnessed singer Chris throw his guitar into the crowd for a fan to take home half way through the gig, to gasps of delight from the crowd - as well as cover Girls Aloud's hit single Call The Shots. Naturally, Coldplay debuted tracks from their new album like Viva La Vida, Strawberry Swing, Chinese Sleep Chant, Lovers In Japan, Lost and 42 - but they also played old favourites like Yellow, In My Place, God Put A Smile On Your Face, Trouble and a fantastic encore of Fix You, complete with glitter cannons that showered the happy fans with confetti. Dancing frenetically around the stage in his new military-style outfit, Martin worked the stage as the band made an assured performance which saw the packed crowd holding mobile phone cameras aloft throughout. Even though current number one album Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends has only been on sale since last Thursday, the audience sang along every word of new tracks, including new single Violet Hill. Chris also had a wry aside about the fact that gig was free to those lucky enough to win a ticket by joking that Coldplay were "money-grabbing whores!" as well as making a gag about the fact England hadn't qualified for the current Euro 2008 football tournament. However, if you want to see the band in the UK soon, bad luck. According to their website, their next UK gig is not until December 1 at the Birmingham NIA. Until then, share last night with us via a live photo blog from last night's Brixton gig, by clicking here: http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=36
June 17, 200818 yr Aye, the Daily Mail review is just full of people who were there. Who cares? Plus they could get in free to any gig they wanted, just by being famous, why did they pick this one? They took my ticket :dozey: :P
June 17, 200818 yr they always want to write about Chris's wife but it cannot always be true. And that too Mirror. But what BBC said is kelly osbourne and some other stars can't remember properly because i don't care that much. i always care about music so i don't want to think who attended the show or something. but i am 100% sure that Chris's wife is not there!
June 17, 200818 yr Some more articles: http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/music/newsid_7458000/7458559.stm http://music.guardian.co.uk/pop/livereviews/story/0,,2286012,00.html?gusrc=rss&feed=networkfront (I'm sure we've had a guardian one already but it's different to the one I read, apologies if it's already been posted)
June 17, 200818 yr some people say that they saw some people and some people say that they don't. woah confusing! but i don't want to even think of it that's where i want to differ from people who care.
June 17, 200818 yr It doesn't really matter who was there though. All that matters is that they put on an amazing show ;)
June 17, 200818 yr This is what I say to all the shit reviews: LALALALALAALLALALALALALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!! LALALLALALALALALALALALALALALALALA :)
June 17, 200818 yr http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1027069/Coldplay-make-triumphant-return-British-stage-year-absence.html here's the daily mail review they say that Gwyneth isn't there!
June 17, 200818 yr The BBC news site says she was. Daily Mail would probably prefer to report she wasn't as it makes a jucier story, fueling speculation they are on the verge of divorce (yawn). From what I've read she was there.
June 17, 200818 yr yesterday steve lamacq himself said on BBC radio 1 that kelly osbourne and some other star is there. but he hadn't mentioned Chris's wife.
June 17, 200818 yr Gwyneth will definitely have been there, is a gig in London, where she lives. Daily Mail would have been trying to stir up break up rumours, other articles will have decided it wasn't relevant. The ones that saw her, saw her. But it really, really doesn't matter.
June 17, 200818 yr some say they have seen and some say they've not seen! but i never mind whatever the truth is! but i know that she was not there! and i stick to it.that's all! whoever say whatever!
June 17, 200818 yr http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1027069/Coldplay-make-triumphant-return-British-stage-year-absence.html here's the daily mail review they say that Gwyneth isn't there! She was hanging around the back of the queue for a while, apparently she hadn't won a ticket. I'm not sure if she managed to blag her way in in the end or not :D
June 17, 200818 yr its really not that good to discuss in this site. the people always irritate with truth specific matters whether there is proof to say or not. And those UK tabloids oh hell in the world! nothing than just to make people suffer!
June 17, 200818 yr Hi everyone. Do we know the actual name of the song that Will performed? Radio One lists it as "The Goldrush / Death Will Never Conquer"... Also, for those who were asking, the song that Chris sung a bit of at the end of In My Place - "one glass of champagne for you, two glasses of champagne for you" - is called Rolex Sweep and is by UK rapper Wiley!
June 17, 200818 yr some say they have seen and some say they've not seen! but i never mind whatever the truth is! but i know that she was not there! and i stick to it.that's all! whoever say whatever! I don't get why you're so insistent about this. You don't know that at all :thinking: But lets just drop it :)
June 17, 200818 yr was a very good radio show last night :D....i only wish i coudl have been there....... i remember listening to it when chris said "here to sing is will champion" and thinking "the board is going to crash now!" :laugh3: ....and im pretty sure it did :D
