YouTube - Viva La Vida (with the Choirs of Wembley, London)

 

Here's our last Wembley video - my personal favourite - and now I'm off to get some sleep before I spend the evening enjoying everyone elses photos, recollections, reviews, and videos (with a glass or three of Fitou :cool:)

Was this show filmed too?

the hardest part was just such a beautiful part of the concert!

Fantastic videos!

waouh !!! great vidéo !! thank you

"At their 20 and 21 June 2009, shows in Vancouver, British Columbia, coldplay announced that they had chosen the Vancouver shows to film concert footage, the only shows on the tour that would be recorded to create a concert film"

 

just to reming you guys about that! DVD here we come!

:dance:

We were in the front row of the unreserved seating and close to the B-Stage - hope you like our videos... :)

 

Talk

 

Thanks for the videos!

 

Who are those people that we see walking in and out of the stadium exit (and leaving??) during God put a smile and Talk?!? :inquisitive:

 

Chris' biggest fear...

Ok. Amazing show. I was about 12 rows back and it was just simply incredible. The crowd was fantastic. Full review coming soon.

 

Anybody know if the concert was recorded by anybody? I'd love to have it in my iTunes.

Nice Viva!

 

I love the audience reaction when Chris scampers down the ramp shouting "Here comes the choir of London! The Choir! The Choir!" at 02:50

 

Viva done

I wouldn't go that far.

The atmosphere at the front (surrounded by fellow Coldplayers) was incredible, and the camaraderie both before, during and after the show was incredible.

The collective singing along to "Viva La Vida" and "Violet Hill" was amazing.

It was a bit like being at a football match where you are able to stand (unfortunately pretty much impossible in the UK now) but ten times better.:D

 

i dunno, if you follow charlton on the road this year you will be standing up a few times.

 

i know i will :d

True. That's one of the advantages of playing in League One (although it's still unlikely I'll get to see many games owing to my location). However, certainly in the Prem and Championship, I'm pretty sure "standing" is non-existent, which is a pity, as all-seater stadia kill the atmosphere (much the same as with rock concerts).;)

 

So no special comments from Chris yesterday?

 

As it happens, that's one thing I was pretty disappointed with yesterday. There was nothing particularly unique about any of Chris's comments. There was nothing that really made me smile, which wasn't the case in Duesseldorf, where he was on top form.

He also didn't appear to change the words to any of the songs, which was disappointing, as that's always very amusing too.:(

However, it's only a very minor criticism - you can't have everything.;)

Sorry about the long post :D I just couldn't stop writing..

 

OH and a lot of people were leaving after the C-stage set! My dad left then too, because he wanted to get to the tube fast :dozey: I told him he was an idiot and missed the best part of the concert :D

 

Thanks for your review!! :)

 

Being front row must have been amazing!!!

 

And I'm so glad the guys seemed happy and relaxed, they probably really enjoyed themselves for their last concert. :)

Thanks for all the reviews and pics! We all had a great time here while you were there thanks to the photoblogs, live tweets, etc. Of course, I would have rather been there, but it was a close second :)

That's a shame... I was also looking forward to seeing some videos where there might be something different, something new, something special!

 

But maybe Chris was just too concentrated on finishing the tour properly and perfectly?

To be honest, if I'm not at a particular concert, I prefer to know nothing about it (unless it's streamed live, of course) until it's finished, otherwise it can be pretty frustrating that you're not actually there.

thats not true, he did a whole saturday night special 'x factor' simon cowell thing

he also changed the words alot, he said in a couple songs 'saturday night/london on saturday night'

he also messed up 'hardest part' a bit, then changed the lyrics to 'forgot the words', he really gave off the impression it wasn't just another gig, but made it unique for a saturday night

 

i thought he was on excellent form....

feel free to add me n all

Did that only happen at the Saturday gig, or at Friday's too?

Even so, that came across as "scripted" and "pantomimey" IMO, and I would rather he had left out the Simon Cowell vid.;)

That might be the case, but I've heard him say much better than that.

I'm amazed he didn't refer to the rain, for example.;)

Well all I'm saying is, I've personally heard much better at other gigs on this tour.

Not the "be all and end all", of course, but just the impression I got.
