:) thanks for your sympathy. i looked for some last minute-train tickets, but the few that were left were all so expensive, and i don't have much money. And i don't have a driver's license (which i of course now curse myself for not getting during the summer, like i had planned), so there really was nothing to do.... :cry: i'm sad, but i seriously would have DIED if i didn't have the wembley concert in a month.

Coldplay concert in Stockholm, Sweden

 

A short review tonight (1am Sunday 23 August 2009) from the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet (in Swedish) followed by a translation hereof made by Nancy Boysen :)

 

Kort udgave af anmeldelse af Coldplay koncert 22.august 2009 i Stockholm, Sverige

(kilde: Nöjesbladet - LINK: http://www.aftonbladet/supersommar2009)

Snyggt och intimt, Coldplay

På ett fullsatt Stockholms Stadion levererade Coldplay en effektiv och snygg show. Samtidigt som de lyckades skapa en stark vi-känsla med publiken.

Aftonbladets Håkan Steen var på plats när 33 000 personer på lördagskvällen såg Coldplay inta scenen på Stockholms Stadion.

– Publiken var på bra humör och bandet kände av det – de smittade av sig på varandra. Med enkla medel gör Coldplay en effektiv och snygg show – med rätt mycket hjärta.

Trots den stora arenan lyckas bandet skapa en intim känsla med publiken.

– En del av setet gör Coldplay på en liten, liten scen långt ut i publikhavet – vilket skapar en stark vi-känlsa med publiken, säger Håkan Steen.

I morgon kan du läsa en recension av konserten både i tidningen och på Nojesbladet.se.

Karolina Strömbäck Horney

 

The picture didn't appear, but the text accompanying it the missing picture:

Coldplay gör en snygg show med känsla / Coldplay delivers an amazing show with feel.

 

NICE AND INTIMATE COLDPLAY

 

Coldplay delivered an efficient and amazing show at the sold-out Stockholm Stadium. At the same tid they managed to create a strong intimate feeling (a "WE / US" feeling) with the audience (meaning that Coldplay connected well with the audience).

 

Mr. Håkan Steen employed by the newspaper "Aftonbladet" was in place and ready when an attendance of 33,000 people Saturday evening saw Coldplay enter the stage at Stockholm Stadium.

– The spirits of the audience were high, and the band felt it – the high spirits were contagious. Using simple effects Coldplay delivers an efficient and amazing show – with very much feel.

In spite of the huge arena the band manages to create an intimate feeling and a good connection with the audience.

– Coldplay performs a part of the set on a very small stage among the audience – which creates a strong "we / us feeling" with the audience, so Mr. Håkan Steen.

Tomorrow you can read a review of the concert in both the newspaper and on the website " Nojesbladet.se ". Karolina Strömbäck Horney, who was sitting in the press (gallery / box) to the right of the stage.

 

When the concert was over I noticed that the newspaper "Nöjesbladet" on its website had minute-by-minute tweets from the concert and answered questions. One of the questions was about the audience. Reply: The audience was varied - most of the crowd was white middleclass "boys and girls" around 30 years old. They played U2 (probably the magnificent "Magnificent" (sorry, but "Magnificent" is magnificent :D)) before the dancing roadie did his act. They did not play U2 in Denmark before the dancing roadie did his act. Maybe U2 was again played as a gesture and tribute to U2. The U2 jet brought the band to Stockholm. It seems that Mr. Superhero needed BONO's assistance to be airborne!! :laugh3::lol:

 

I will be back later today Sunday with more (must go to sleep now - it is 1.30 Danish and Swedish time).

Coldplay concert at Stockholm Stadium Saturday 22 August 2009 in the evening

(by Mr. Anders Dahlbom, employed by the newspaper "Expressen". He rates each song played at the concert).

 

The SETLIST

[iMAGE ID=3]

Life in technicolor

A good start with the intro off the album “Viva la vida”.

 

[iMAGE ID=3]

Violet Hill

Weak on the album, but grows / is much better here ("live"). Martin is on the move and squeezes out the lyrics.

 

[iMAGE ID=2]

Clocks

Very, very nice with pulsating red light.

 

[iMAGE ID=3]

In my place

Martin dances around like a boxer! Magnificent.

 

[iMAGE ID=3]

Yellow

One of Coldplay's first and best songs. Vigorous and simple.

 

[iMAGE ID=2]

Glass of water

A glass of water? Gasp. Saved by an Aha chorus of good quality.

 

[iMAGE ID=2]

Cemeteries of London

Here it sounds very much like U2. But nice white balloons.

 

[iMAGE ID=2]

42

A song which wants to be bigger than it is.

 

[iMAGE ID=4]

Fix you

Arenas were built for such songs. Quite magnificent.

 

[iMAGE ID=1]

Strawberry Swing

… and then back to another weak card. Too anonymous.

 

[iMAGE ID=2]

God put a smile upon your face / Talk

For some reason played on a mini-stage in a sort of techno version.

 

[iMAGE ID=3]

The hardest part / Postcards from far away

Chris solo on piano. Very beautiful. He thinks that the audience is of Usain Bolt class.

 

[iMAGE ID=4]

Viva la vida

Cathedrals were built for such songs. The audience continues to sing along.

 

[iMAGE ID=3]

Lost!

Grows with the speed. Now the band has really got up steam.

 

[iMAGE ID=1]

Green eyes

Once again out to a new mini-stage far behind among the crowd. Acoustic, not very successful.

 

[iMAGE ID=1]

Til kingdom come

A triffle sung by drummer Will.

 

[iMAGE ID=3]

Billie Jean

Coldplay interprets Michael Jackson surprisingly well.

 

[iMAGE ID=1]

Viva la vida (remix)

Mostly an occasion for the band to get back to the stage again...

 

[iMAGE ID=3]

Politik

… a too leaden (heavy / slow) version. It feels like being punched in your belly repeatedly. !!

 

[iMAGE ID=3]

Lovers in japan

The nicest moment this evening. Confetti and Mr. Martin with a little umbrella.

 

[iMAGE ID=3]

Death and all his friends

Surprisingly strong. Majestic when the “Vida!” flags are covering the stage.

 

ENCORES :

 

[iMAGE ID=3]

The Scientist

The crowd is into this song. Magnificent sing-along. Confetti covers the big screen.

 

[iMAGE ID=3]

Life In Technicolor II

Magnificent ending with chorus sing-along and fireworks.

I know that I wrote that I went to bed, but I wanted to find the setlist and found it in the Swedish newspaper "Expressen" in combination with a rating of each song - here it is. And goodnight! :)

At the Roskilde festival in Denmark on 5 July 2009: U2s "Magnificent" was not played, but replaced by a piece of music that was more noisy than "Magnificent". Maybe it was that electronic track in your no. 1. It was followed by a Jay-Z song to which roadie Wayne was breakdancing (your song no. 3). Then the beautiful Danube Waltzt came and then Coldplay entered the stage with sparklers.

 

In Herning on Sunday 16 August 2009: No "Magnificent" by U2 :cry: , but again replaced by the electronic track in 1. followed by AHA's "The Sun always Shines on TV". Then the Jay-Z song to which roadie Wayne was breakdancing on the ramp on Jonny's side having a broom in his hand. Then the Danube Waltzt came followed by COLDPLAY.
