razors_girl23 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Oh no!! I wanted to wait around, but my friend needed to go home. Can't be greedy though. I was lucky enough to meet them last time. P.S I stink!!! Too much singing and dancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
but a dream Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 :laugh3: My friend who I took said I was the only one she could see singing GOW. It's in my top 3 Coldplay songs atm, along with Politik and Death and All His Friends, so I'm a happy girl. I really wanted some merch, but the line was too long. I may as well just get it off the website. I too, like the butterfly shirt. I at least know what it means though haha! I got the tour tee, which still isn't on their website yet :thinking: And the tote since it's much cheaper @ the show than online (but that's because I can only buy from the UK site, the US site fails on me :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirhc Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 And we met Will and Chris :dead: We were waiting outside the loading bay trying our luck. Will came out in a van and was very patient and gracious :heart: He told us both Guy and Jonny had left before him, but Chris was still around. So we waited... and waited... Then this van with tinted windows came out. It didn't stop, although the person inside was waving at us. Some of us thought it was Chris, but the others weren't convinced, so we continued waiting until this nice security guard informed us that Chris was INDEED coming out, although we were to wait quietly and not mob his car. So we stood at a respectful distance before Kelly came out and opened the door for Chris. He signed everything we threw at him :laugh3:, and took a couple of pictures. My hands are still shaking. OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH!!!! That must have been sooo amazing! You've met Will and Chris!! Did you make some pictures? What did he say? What an experience!!!! :dance: (I am soooo jealous :D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an experience :dance: (I am soooo jealous :D) I was so nervous... my hands still cannot stop shaking although I try not to. Will was really nice :dead: I didn't manage to say much to both because there were just too many people and everyone was trying to get a few words in themselves. Although one of the other persons waiting for Coldplay told Chris that I came from Singapore to Sydney to watch them, and Chris said 'Wow thanks.' :nice: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razors_girl23 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Oh. I couldn't believe it when the guys came right near our seats on a mini stage. So lucky!!!

razors_girl23 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 I'm just looking at my sig. I can't believe it's been almost 3 years since they were last here. Also, is it just me, or did this show go much longer than on their last tour?? I feel like they played practically every big song plus more.

razors_girl23 Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 All good stuff too. I think their last album is my favourite, so I really enjoyed tonight. I was on the verge of tears for their first 3 songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miumiu Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Viva La Vida with a bit of sparkle COLDPLAY Acer Arena, Olympic Park, March 11 YOU probably saw it coming: Coldplay hitting the stage with all guns, or at least sparklers, blazing. Not just because they are one of the world's biggest rock bands; more because of their faintly ridiculous home-made garb. It's all military jackets and multicoloured frayed sashes, which, along with current fourth album Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends, appears to take at least some influence from the Spanish Civil War. The Brit four-piece's self-confidence knows no bounds in terms of song choice as well as their look. They follow the opening pair, both defining songs from the new album - including an explosive Violet Hill - with a run of signature epic rock ballads you would have expected to hear in the encore. In Your Place is stadium pop par excellence and the ever sublime Yellow even comes with an amusing, impromptu couple of lines from Farnsy's You're The Voice. It doesn't hurt that Coldplay have such an affably charismatic frontman in Chris Martin - he of the easy self-deprecating wit and ability to get thousands chanting and clapping almost on a whim - but the band itself has a strong, effective chemistry too. Add the gimmicks such as giant yellow balloons that spray confetti when they pop and you have spectacle to match the music. Most of all, though, it's the songs, made for arenas such as this, that see them through. Yes, they can be ludicrously bombastic, often formulaic and maybe a little middle-of-the-road. But when the four leaders of the Coldplay army lead, it's easy to understand why so many follow. Coldplay play Acer Arena tonight, Saturday and Sunday, and open Sound Relief at the Sydney Cricket Ground on March 14 at 12pm sharp. http://www.smh.com.au/news/entertainment/music/viva-la-vida-with-a-bit-of-sparkle/2009/03/11/1236447311766.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pris Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 A-fucking-mazing. They played Glasses Of Water and I almost had a heart attack. They played every single song I wanted them to. Now to do it all again tomorrow. Had to plan my attack for GA. I'm going to get there around 4:30 to line up and then if I can't get to the very front before other people when we're let in, I will head to the right of the stage where they play a few songs on the little runway type thing. My hope is many people won't have been tonight and won't realise to stand there. Glad you had a great time and good luck with the next gig!!! :dance: And we met Will and Chris :dead: We were waiting outside the loading bay trying our luck.
