Boys will be on in 10 minutes or so.

Last show of the Aussie Leg :(

I'm sure they'll go out with a bang!

Fingers crossed everyone for a farewell surprise in the setlist!!!

hey guys,

 

first time poster, but just got back from the show. i went thurs night as well, and it was pretty much the same set. only differences i noticed were they played "speed of sound" and "green eyes" during the acoustic set (then "i'm a believer" - "death will never conquer" got left off). apparently chris had promised will's brother he would let will sing a song, but will didn't seem too fussed.

 

and just after the scientist chris played a tribute to the wiggles (two of whom i'd seen walking to their seats at the start of the night - they got a pretty big cheer from the crowd around them) with a bit of "fruit salad, yummy yummy"!

 

all in all a very similar show, but still fantastic. chris battled on despite having his eyebrow taped up due to an incident with a drum stick. i guess that happened last night?

 

must also say how great decoder ring and mercury rev were tonight, i think mercury rev were definitely a lot tighter than at thursday's show.

OK folks I'm finally back online.

 

I woke up @ 5.30am for 2 days straight to queue up for the gigs on the 14th and 15th :dozey: Surviving on 2 hours' sleep today, I reached the place @ 7am, with 2 other people in front of me.

 

Skip the 12 hours of waiting in queue... I managed to be front row centre :D This was probably the craziest, most energetic show I've gone to so far. Being the last show in Sydney and Australia, I would presume it would be so since it would be long time till Coldplay visit Down Under again.

 

Personally it was a treat hearing BOTH Speed of Sound AND Green Eyes being played on the C-stage. So far it has been either/or at the gigs. Although for the 2nd night running, Will did not sing DWNC :sad:

Wonder why he isn't singing :thinking:

Wonder why he isn't singing :thinking:

Problems with his voice maybe? :thinking:

Maybe, he was okay singing when Chris was doing his little run around the field the day before though.

 

Hmmm. Weird.

 

Sudden onset stage fright? Maybe he's embarrassed singing in front of his brother.

Or he did smoke too much :wink3:

Chris did say something about Ed being in the crowd and that he would kill Chris if he didn't let Will sing again today, but apparently Will decided not to sing.

 

That's if I understood what Chris said correctly :P

Ahh, well maybe he was embarrassed then. Awww. :D

 

Did Chris hurt his eyebrow the night before? Someone said when he bounced the drumstick during Lost it hit him in the eye. :idea2:

Yeah!!! That's exactly what happened :rolleyes::P

*tries not to laugh*.... :laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3:

 

Ahem... I'm sorry, it must be very painful :(

:lol:

 

Hilarious. The boy runs through a crowd of thousands of excited fans, mauling at him and chasing him around a cricket ground and makes it back completely scratch free. Then manages to hurt himself later on by throwing a drumstick too hard :laugh4:

:lol:

He's inSANE.

 

Awesome though :D

Typical :rolleyes:

edit: Min, do you have some pics of him with the tape on his eyebrow?

I do :D

 

But I have to wait till I get home tomorrow night before I can upload them :P

Yay, I'm excited! :wacky:

 

And I've been very jealous of all of your front-row tales... I somehow manage to go to the only concerts without any standing/general admission tickets :veryangry2: The closest I've been was at SNL, which was pretty damn close, but still not the same as front row at a concert!

I've been to 3 front rows out of 5 concerts... Basically if I've bought a standing ticket I've been at the front, otherwise I'm seated. Are the US gigs all seated? I have the impression that they are :thinking:

Yeah. And all UK ones (with the exception of War Child and the stadium gigs)

Yeah, but it looks like a lot of the ones this summer have some standing in the front... Just not the two I'm going to! :dozey: I still have a really good seat for the second one (tickets aren't on sale for the first one yet), but still :\

 

I'll be close to Jonny, though :wink3: :P

The Singapore show is too :thinking:

 

Guess that the European and the Australian gigs are different :inquisitive:

:D Jonny :heart:

 

How crappy is that though... not having an option to stand :sad:

Yeah, I know, and I'd give them all the money I had just to be in the front! Although with the way tickets are sold these days, I doubt I'd be able to get a standing ticket even if they sold them, what with the presales, and the businesspeople getting the good seats, etc...
