September 14, 200916 yr I have over 600 photos to upload! :o Where will these pics be? I wanna have a browse
September 14, 200916 yr My views on the sweating is they have so many more bright lights on the new stage, and we all know Chris sweats alot anyway's. Thanks Deb for your thought's and views on the boy's!!!!! Debs Wild:Great to read all the reviews and stories. I got in at 4 and watched everyone running to the front so must have seen a few of you. Hope you were wearing sunscreen? Saw Jonny first who was miming, mouthing words and gesturing as it was he who was in fact the poorliest member but he didn't seem ill, just resting his voice; usual happy smiley Jonny in good spirits. Saw Will watching White Lies, sporting a scarf so they must all be protecting their exposed necks... also in fine fettle. Chris didn't appear ill to me when I saw him beforehand and he watched Jay Z from a balcony - went unnoticed, quite funny that no-one seemed to be looking at him! Didn't seem ill during show to me either.... Saw Guy warming up and he too was in good mood, so all round, think the next few shows will be amazing!! x
September 14, 200916 yr I don't know who asked, but Jay-Z performed at the VMAs yesterday, so he had to leave in time.
September 14, 200916 yr I don't know who asked, but Jay-Z performed at the VMAs yesterday, so he had to leave in time. It's less than an 8 hour flight to NYC - and NY is 5 hours earlier than the UK, so it wasn't a huge rush for him to make it to the VMAs.

That is really nice to hear the thoughts of someone who's 'inside' the concert! I think we are all a little bit more relieved now. :) I'm sure they'll have a great last week of shows, starting tonight in Dublin! And then, a well-earned rest. :) And it's nice of you to worry about the sunscreen! ;) But I think some Coldplayers (Ian? I don't remember) didn't have any and got burned...! :confused:
September 14, 200916 yr I know its abit late but though I would put my view of the gig on saturday across to you. I was stood next to the walkway (or whatever you want to call it), about half way down it, and the curse of the vertically challenged was in full force! White Lies were good, although I am not so keen on their music, can you like a performance without liking the music? I wasn't so looking forward to Jay-Z, I'm not all that into rap, but I loved him! He was so good. Hes a great performer. No doubt about that. I was in alot of pain whilst watching them as I had hurt my back early in the week and hoped it would get better, but standing up for such along time, I kept trying to hold on to the rail to take abit of the wait off my feet, but a woman beside me kept giving me a dirty look like I was trying to pinch her place! I didn't want to cause any trouble but it didn't help with people barging past! Strange, but the pain disappeared whilst Coldplay were on and then came back with a vengance the next day! Wow, the power of Coldplay!!!! They were amazing, I shed a tear when I first saw them, couldn't get my camera (on my phone) to work proper when jonny came down the walkway (darn cameraphones!), I got yet another pic of his back! I was so happy to hear 'cemetries of london' and 'glass of water' live, wow!!!! But what really made my night was getting butterflies!!!! I was so disappointed when I didn't get any back in december 08 at the MEN, so the butterflies are my pride and joy, I even got one of the live cds, which I thought would be long gone by the time I got out. I was well nervous about this gig, being on my own at such a large venue scared the hell out of me and I was making myself ill with worry about it, but now I think why did I waste so much energy? It was great being on my own, noone I knew to judge me and my scary moves, cos I will never see anyone I was stood near again! Thanks Coldplay for a great night, I'm scared from the experience, but it was worth it, every ache and bruise!!!
September 14, 200916 yr http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2009/sep/13/coldplay-jayz-review That was a really nice review until she spoilt it with the last line: "How about that? Coldplay in "surprisingly good" shock." Why can't the press just accept that they're great at what they do? :angry:

It's really boring to hear that stuff every time (well, not every time, but often)!
September 14, 200916 yr I love this one, so funny!!! What is he doing with his right hand?? Asking you to come on stage with him? :lol:
September 14, 200916 yr I totally agree... It's really boring to hear that stuff every time (well, not every time, but often)! It's especially disappointing from a British journalist - you'd think they'd be pleased to see a UK band have their kind of success
September 14, 200916 yr It's especially disappointing from a British journalist - you'd think they'd be pleased to see a UK band have their kind of success Well, she seems kinda pleased, but also very surprised. She clearly didn't believe in Coldplay, nor in their music (which she doesn't seem to like that much), nor in their success. And.....she was wrong!!! :sneaky:
September 14, 200916 yr Thank you MartinFan for posting Debs Wild's comments concerning each of the boys' health and mood on 12 September - it was nice to have her opinion as it is coming from an insider. :) Ad Noémie: I think some Coldplayers (Ian? I don't remember) didn't have any (sunshade) and got burned...! Maybee Ian should then change busybeeburns to busybeeburnED :laugh3:

Thanks Coldplay for a great night, I'm scared from the experience, but it was worth it, every ache and bruise!!! Hi bellynelly! Thanks for sharing your experience on Saturday night with us. Of course, it is not too late to post your review of the Coldplay concert and your comments. - I'm glad that Coldplay's "magic touch" made your pain disappear so you were able to enjoy the show. :) and that you got some lovely butterflies and a free live cd. I hope that your back problems will soon be gone! I'm sure that your back problems will soon be history. :)
September 14, 200916 yr Here's a nice review from The Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/live-music-reviews/6186858/Coldplay-and-Jay-Z-at-Old-Trafford-review.html
September 14, 200916 yr I'm really enjoying reading everyone views on the concert. I had an amazing time. I was standing on Guy's side of the stage with about 7 or 8 people in front of me maybe which was far closer than I dreamed I would get. My absolute favourite part was when they sang Politik:D So much energy at the chorus! My voice is still really bad from singing along at the top of my lungs to every song. I thought JayZ was fantastic he really got the crowd involved and was clearly enjoying himself. We were really going wild in the front but I've been watching some videos taken further back and people look almost bored lol. Oh yeah, at one point I was the only person doing the diamond thing with my hands and JayZ looked at me and did it himself causing everyone to do it :D That was ace.
September 14, 200916 yr Here's a nice review from The Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/live-music-reviews/6186858/Coldplay-and-Jay-Z-at-Old-Trafford-review.html Nice review, thanks! :) What does 'geeky and gregarious' mean (talking about Chris)? I couldn't find any good translation...
September 14, 200916 yr geeky literally means foolish,inept or clumsy but also means clever, scientific, single-minded..can see what the review means but don't agree..except that Chris is very clever! Gregarious-outgoing, sociable, likeable..I agree with that!
September 14, 200916 yr Here's a nice review from The Telegraph: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/live-music-reviews/6186858/Coldplay-and-Jay-Z-at-Old-Trafford-review.html Much better review. No silly prejudices or resurrected myths!
September 14, 200916 yr Author Great to read all the reviews and stories. I got in at 4 and watched everyone running to the front so must have seen a few of you. Hope you were wearing sunscreen? Saw Jonny first who was miming, mouthing words and gesturing as it was he who was in fact the poorliest member but he didn't seem ill, just resting his voice; usual happy smiley Jonny in good spirits. Saw Will watching White Lies, sporting a scarf so they must all be protecting their exposed necks... also in fine fettle. Chris didn't appear ill to me when I saw him beforehand and he watched Jay Z from a balcony - went unnoticed, quite funny that no-one seemed to be looking at him! Didn't seem ill during show to me either.... Saw Guy warming up and he too was in good mood, so all round, think the next few shows will be amazing!! x thanks for the update, Debs :D :kiss:
