I didn't enjoy the Jay-Z set, just not my thing but the guys were fantastic. It's the first time I have seen them in concert and I was blown away

thanks for all the pics, my camera gave up and I didn't get any :-(

I was there last night, and it was bloody awesome! I met so many awesome people - cookie crew, This girl and her mum with the coolest multicolour hat ever. Me and my friend were armed with sharpies (i had coldplay on my forehead and guy (and a heart) on my cheek!) and lent them to everyone around us near the stage (we were about 3rd row guy side!). It was such an awesome day!

 

here are some of my photos (these were taken from my phone - my digital camera and the rest of these are yet to come)

Thats them all :) Sorry my camera's not that good quality and the pictures aren't great but I just had to share the most amazing night of my life with you!

Wow, there are many pages here!

 

Just wanted to say I had a great night again, my final Viva la Vida show. I arrived at Wembley at about 11am and made it FRONT ROW with a bit of luck!

Review and pics follow later. :)

 

Highlights were the appearances of Simon Pegg and Jay-Z!

 

By the way, Glass of Water preceded Yellow this time.

:)!thank you very much for the photos of the concert! They are really great,especially chris's photos!!

Thanks for the pictures! :)

My Review:

My friend, my mum and I arrived ast the venue at around half past 1 and joined the queue. We met some awesome people who gave us advice and laughed with us when my friend decorated my face with sharpie pen! The organisation of the queue was excellent and I loved the radio wembley sort of thing that was playing.

 

We ran as fast as we could and couldn't believe our luck when we were situated quite central ( more to Guy's side) about 3/4 rows back from the barrier. White Lies were awesome - it was a shame they had such a short set, would have loved to here taxidermy and from the stars live but oh well. Girls aloud were rubbishy, but were bearable and my friend kinda likes them so it wasn't too horrific.

 

Then Jay-z. Well he isn't usually my cup of tea but man he owned that stage! I thought "Empire State of mind" when Bridget Kelly came on stage was pretty awesome, 99 problems was also great!

 

Then Coldplay, wow! Mr Martin was in top form leaping around everywhere, and the crowd were great! I thought IMP was great and Lost+ with Jay-z was bloody fantastic. I absalutely love the Talk/GPASUYF techno remix thing, its so good! Chris doing The Hardest Part was just beautiful - "I offered this song to take that but they rejected it" lol and postcards was plain brilliant!

 

When the buuterflies came down during LIJ it was just a magical moment, as you all know! What a concert... I'm still reeling from it. After the gig finished I managed to get part of the yellow balloon that Chris popped onstage and stuffed my bag full of butterflies. Going to the tube was also magical, walking down wembley walk with all those fans sing ooowaaahoowohoo was incredible.

 

Best. Night. Ever.

here is a recording of politik, this was recorded from my private box, and rite next door to me was ashley cole, he obviously disappeared when girls aloud finished

sorry for my english xD

i saw a lot of camaras, but maybe it was just for the big screens i dont know.

The video of Politik is awesome, Frenchie0101. You were far from the stage though but the sound is great compared with the sound I heard in PdP from my seat.

Review

 

My promised review and (mostly) pictures! :)

 

Waiting, waiting, waiting...

After seeing Coldplay 5 times (Rotterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Nijmegen, Nijmegen) the first Wembley show was the big finale of this tour for me. I wanted to get there as early as possible and I managed to get there at about 11.00. By then, there were ~25 people and the wait began.

The weather was good, there were toilets and food nearby, so the wait wasn't even so hard! There were a couple of Coldplayers with Coldplaying t-shirts in the queue, but not much and I had no idea who they were. :P

At 15.30 everybody suddenly stood up and lots of people who were sitting behind me suddenly now stood before me. When the gates opened and we walked/runned towards the far right gates, I was one of the first to get through (don't know what happened to the people who were going to the left, as I was one of the first to enter the field). We started running down the stairs, were told to slow down, slowed down, but when we saw people coming from the other side, we started running again and all three of us made it first row (again!)! :lol:

Everyone was pushing, alot more than in Nijmegen. I didn't really care as I had food and drinks with me and didn't have to use the toilet. :p A funny moment during the wait was when my friend asked to throw away his banana peel in the garbage can. So, I threw it away, being surprised by the reaction of the security people who were taking it out of the garbage can, because it was actually a water supply for the crowd. Oops! :lol: So, if anyone though there water tasted like bananas, they were right!

 

White Lies

White Lies were great again, just as in Nijmegen. The singer seemed much more into it and looked really happy (and nervous) to play such a big stadium. Their set was a little shorter though.

 

My White Lies pictures (with comments), spoiler-tagged because of the size:

The Girls Aloud dressing room was right next to the stage, so they were distracted all the time, quite annoying if I might say.

 

Vakantie09LondeninclColdplayWemb-124.jpg

This is actually a video of the moment he forgot his lines.

 

Vakantie09LondeninclColdplayWemb-123.jpg

Bassists... :rolleyes:

 

 

 

Girls Aloud

Not much to say about, so let's go to the pictures directly! :wink3:

 

 

 

Vakantie09LondeninclColdplayWemb-122.jpg

Yeah baby!

 

Vakantie09LondeninclColdplayWemb-118.jpg

Thumbs up!

 

Vakantie09LondeninclColdplayWemb-109.jpg

Yeah baby!

 

Vakantie09LondeninclColdplayWemb-103.jpg

Yeah ba... ooh.

 

 

 

Jay-Z

Girls Aloud were ok (although the Girls Aloud fans were annoying - they even had the best spots and remained there during the Coldplay show :dozey:), but Jay-Z was really brilliant. It was almost like everybody came for him! I didn't know most of his songs, but that didn't matter at all. The downside of standing front row is the sound, which was quite... loud. Jay-Z's show was great and I managed to take some nice pics.

Coldplay

I'd like to begin with something negative this time. It's because, during the Coldplay concert I didn't have the wow-feeling as I had the week before in Nijmegen. It probably has something to do with the show being almost the same as last year and me being a little tired of Viva. That being said, I still enjoyed myself, especially during songs as In My Place, Yellow, Glass of Water, Politik and Lovers in Japan. Other highlights were the appearances of Simon Pegg and Jay-Z coming back to sing Lost+.

The guys also seemed much more into it than in Nijmegen, more laughing, more enthusiasm (especially Jonny, I have a video of him going 'wild' during 42), more jokes. I hoped for a little more front row interaction, but for the third time: there was none. I'll might make a banner next time, to improve my chances. :)

Let's go to the pictures

 

 

 

Vakantie09LondeninclColdplayWemb-75.jpg

Yes, my 'make Chris fuzzy' spell has worked!

 

Vakantie09LondeninclColdplayWemb-74.jpg

The nuclear explosion of Chris' guitar was the biggest surprise of the evening.

 

Vakantie09LondeninclColdplayWemb-72.jpg

Everyone was shocked when Chris was hit by a bullet, but it appeared to be a blank.

Vakantie09LondeninclColdplayWemb-45.jpg

Chris, we're on this side!

 

Vakantie09LondeninclColdplayWemb-43.jpg

Damn, I forgot to tape The Simpsons!

(and laughing Jonny for the Jonny lovers)

OMG HE'S SO HAWT! (I actually like this picture though)

Vakantie09LondeninclColdplayWemb-35.jpg

Mommy, can I please go home, that guy in the front is teasing me :(

Vakantie09LondeninclColdplayWemb-33.jpg

My favorite picture of the evening, Will can be so scary. :D

Vakantie09LondeninclColdplayWemb-14.jpg

Suddenly some black guy invaded the stage, he was shot and transported out in a helicopter. Sadly enough, I didn't manage to capture that moment.

Vakantie09LondeninclColdplayWemb-2.jpg

Almost over.....

Vakantie09LondeninclColdplayWembley.jpg

Over.

That's about it, we got out pretty quickly afterwards, got a LRLRL cd and walked back to our (very cheap and shitty) hotel. The Viva tour is over.

I hope anybody will actually read this, though it was fun posting anyways.

^Thanks for the review and photos Stefan.

I love the captions :D

stefan, I think you were in a similar place to me! I was standing just behind this women in a multicoloured hat...

I remember the woman! :lol:

 

She's here, are you on this too?:
