camooooooooon im sooo impatient about these vids :dance:

really???

camooooooooon im sooo impatient about this vids :dance:

 

I'm trying my best. I have LiT and two others ripped, but when I upload to Youtube there are problems for some reason (it cut the video short and put the audio out of sync).

 

The files are MPEG and 50 mb + per song.

 

I can also rip the whole concert as one file (which is much easier for me) but how to distribute it...? (The whole thing will be around 500mb).

 

I'm trying to upload the first vid to megaupload, but have no idea what I'm doing with this, so fingers crossed (or if anyone can help out please do...)

 

<edit> looks like something weird's happening with my new youtube account so am abandoning that ship in favour of uploads

hmmm i would tell you to better wait for a couple of minutes, as someone is already uploading here

 

but your videos seems to be better quality!!

i would love to help but i am not too good in editing videos and so.... :( even if would be soo cool to have the complete video together!!

Oh right, cool someone's got it already.

 

But my camera vids were better quality????

 

The ones I've just made are direct recordings from the screen, no camera involved, and as I say one uncompressed song is 50 mb+.

 

Perhaps I'll let the experts take over!?

Well here is the link (I think!) for LiT captured with WM Capture. It's an uncompressed mpeg.

Merged into existing Radio 2 thread :)

You can now watch Coldplay perform tracks during an intimate live gig for Radio 2 at the BBC Radio Theatre in London. The video of Coldplay's Radio 2 gig will be available until Monday 8 September, 2359. (hurry!)

 

Watch the full gig online (UK residents only... BBC rules not mine) at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/events/coldplay/

Thank you Kimchi, after all, your camera videos are the only ones I can watch ! :)

 

My old computer does not work well, the media player is f***ed, I can't update it, and there is way to little memory anyway, so until the new one is installed, its youtube or nothing.

 

So thanks a lot for your hard work ! :nice:

I had just put a new thread about it : http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00d6nh3

I'm currently listening to it. It's great !

Carefull Now!

:dozey:.......Don't make fun of us old people at the shows! I'm gonna get my feelings hurt...I'm 42, the biggest coldplay freak you could ever imagine. My even MORE ancient husband- (46 gasp) danced our a**es off at our Chicago shows....so much so that tour manager Frank kept looking at me like -you guys are nuts!see....here we are...:dance::dance:

 

Seriously though, I hope someone gets some youtube of your show up, I can't wait to see it and I'm glad you got such a great spot!

hey i am not making fun of old people!

when i say old i dont mean 42 (oh yeah even your age is freak! lol ;) ), but even older, and what was weird was not to see old people being fans, but a coldplay show almost full of only people of 50 years as average, usually it is full of young people, but this time wasnt even fifty fifty!

Maybe Radio 2 listeners like Coldplay for real ?

I don't doubt it for one second, their music is universal, and don't forget, us born in the 60's were the second generation already of the founders of rock !

I was too young to go to Woodstock or the Isle of White (I was 6 or 7 then) yet I have been a fan of Jimy Hendrix and Bob Dylan, amongst many others.

And no worries I went to thousands of gigs in the 80's and 90's.

 

I am 47 (yes) and Coldplay turn me upside down, I love Radiohead, Muse and Bloc Party, Arcade Fire and Sigur Ros, in my recent list. But Coldplay I would not miss for the WORLD.

 

Actually Colplaying is my first forum and this is more the youngest generation thing, the possibilities of internet.

 

But rock concerts, sorry, they were invented by people now in their 50's or 60"s :)

I actually DO know what your talking about-I was front row at the Albuquerque show and there was this 60 yr old couple just sitting behind us in row 2 - looking sort of bored and bewildered....it was weird cuz they had to have payed a good bit for the seats...strange, maybe they were loving the hell out of every second but just didn't show it? Anyway I'm glad I found people on this forum, of any age, who can relate to being obsessed with Coldplay...

 

....now.......... can some nice soul get us some video pleeeeeeze

but i still say - it is ok that people of all ages like coldplay, but it is not the real proportion of young and old people what was on that theatre. seemed too strange to find so few young girls and lads!

 

dont misunderstand camooon, my idol is paul mccartney and i've been to many gigs of him (i'm on the liverpool sound video too looool), so i wont be the one to say that 60's people dont rock lol

Shout To The Top (Steve Lamacq Blog)

 

So what we suspected - but weren't at liberty to confirm - turns out to be true. There will be another Coldplay album next year, currently set for release in December '09.

 

Chris Martin broke the news during a convivial chat with REM's Michael Stipe and yours truly on BBC 6 Music on Saturday afternoon. What's more surprising is that there will be a new EP, Prospects March, released around Christmas... ("hopefully December 26th, something like that").

 

 

All of which seems to confirm earlier suspicions that the sessions with Brian Eno for the current album Viva La Vida were so productive that they had songs to spare - although the band still claim the next album is far from finished. In the meantime, we got to hear a laid-back Coldplay democratically choosing the title for the EP, live on air, with the added bonus of Stipe having the casting vote.

 

Released from the uncomfortable routine of promoting a record Martin - and the rest of the band for that matter - chatted away as if we'd just met at a bus stop. There's even a point where I thought bassist Guy was about to get his holiday snaps out

 

To follow the interview, they went on to play a tiny gig in the BBC Radio Theatre in front of about 300 fans which was equally warm and relaxed. Martin, sporadically chatty and self-deprecating, was also back to his old cheeky self, introducing Trouble with the line "We wrote this song so long ago that some of you weren't even in your 40s."

 

Which is a subtle role reversal isn't it? Band heckle audience! I've heard groups berate their followers over sundry, silly matters before; or seen failing support bands try and shout and swear their way off a stage, but I don't think I've come across a band taking the micky out of us. But here lies some of Coldplay's charm.

 

 

And anyway, maybe it's about time that some bands sharpened up their act. We've given them enough stick down the years.

 

The grief bands get at gigs comes in many forms. There's the ironic cheer when a support band announce "This is our last song", or the more minimal, basic "get off you're rubbish (or colloquial words to that effect)". But I quite admire a clever heckle. Does anyone remember the new wave band 'These Animal Men' falling apart on stage at Reading Festival and in a gap in the shambles someone at the back of the tent, helpfully hollered "Taxi for These Animal Men!" Being chaps who could duly take a joke they used the line as the title of their next album!

 

I once saw a friend of mine - the guitarist in a band - stumble and nearly keel over during a particularly effusive guitar solo in the middle of one of their songs. He managed to regain his composure before toppling off the stage, looked round to see if anyone had noticed and casually raced to the end of the song. Sadly someone had noticed. After the applause had dribbled away a lone voice shouted: "Oi you! Fall over again!"

 

It didn't sound malicious, but as all good heckles do, it burst that bubble of cool. And that's enough for most people....until audiences go bad.

 

The most destroying heckle I've ever heard was saved for The Tears - the band formed by ex-Suede members Brett Anderson and Bernard Butler. Making their big London debut at the Astoria - which was all pomp and bluster for the opening five minutes - they finished their second song, only for a voice of doom to cut through the hall.

 

"Awful. (pause). Really awful."

 

 

Never have three words sounded so loud (they reverberated round the theatre for what seemed like hours) and so viciously damning. I wonder if they ever truly recovered from them. For a group of well respected, not to mention tactically aloof musicians to be cut down to size so easily must have been incredibly traumatic. It's like those nightmares you have about giving a speech at school, except you're naked on stage at the lectern and you've forgotten the words. And then the headmaster from the back of the class yells "Awful Lamacq! Really awful."

 

This is why I've revised my opinion about introducing football chants at gigs. Although don't let me stop you if you're faced with some talentless over-priced twerps getting too big for their boots. I'd suggest "Down with the Britpop, you're going down with the Britpop." Or maybe: "Hit band no fans, hit band no fans." Or even: "One song....you've only got one song." Although don't try that one out on Coldplay. They've apparently got bloody hundreds of songs.

Let's not have age-ism around here!:P Though I still consider myself on the "young" side of the Coldplay fan spectrum, I'm older than lots of people here, and I don't give a rat's ass! haha

 

I've been to Coldplay concerts with 2 very good friends, one my age who's not so big of a fan, and one who was 43ish at the time and a big fan, and guess who was crazier and louder and dancing the whole show??? Um yes, the "old lady." (She's also the one who snuck in some spiked lemonade for me!!!:D) So yea, age is just a stupid number, especially when it comes to enjoying music. [end of rant]

:lol: Great blog from Lamacq :D

you are? I had no idea! :lol:

 

I don't think anybody meant elder people can;t be fans, it just seemed odd that most people there were older than expected meaning there was not as much variaty as usual... I'm not sure how to put this... ahhh whatever!
