aside from the crappy online radio2 stream - will any of you have a decent method of capturing the concert when it airs? I just read on the BBC site that the week following the broadcast they will be showing video of the concert as well. Hopefully someone can at least grab a good quality cap of the audio whether it be on DAB or FM or even TV broadcast ;)

BBC Radio Theatre gig to be broadcast live

Good morning. On Saturday, Coldplay will play a special concert for the BBC, which will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 2. The show will take place from 7-8pm, with build-up on both Radio 2 and Radio 6. Click here for full details and to listen live online, wherever you are. The BBC will also be showing video of the gig on the site afterwards.

 

The concert will take place in London's BBC Radio Theatre, a venue which was opened in 1932 and visited shortly afterwards by King George V and Queen Mary. "Their Majesties were greatly struck by the hall, which is among London's finest, with an audience capacity of 700," reported the Daily Telegraph at the time. It is not clear whether any royalty will be attending Saturday night's show.

Jonny's beard has gone the same way as Chris' hair :P Maybe it was a bet.

A comment on the Radio Two site by someone who was there:

Hi I was one lucky person to be at the gig, It was awsome! such an exceptional experience. Made even more so for me as chris martin included me in describing what he saw to the listening public "theres a gentleman with the more streamlined look" refering to me personally and my lack of hair! The sound and atmosphere, were one I will never never forget. Well done coldplay! ! !
