Anna do you have Microsoft Silverlight installed? I'm sure it can be seen even if you're not in Italy..otherwise you can go here, click on 13.30 over the top of the video window, then under the window go on the last title, it's "UN'OVAZIONE AD UDINE PER L'ATTESO CONCERTO DEI COLDPLAY : 30MILA PALLONCINI E 40MILA FANS AD ACCOGLIERE LA BAND BRITANNICA" and click on "apri nel player", then you should be able to see it in the window on the top :)

Is this it?

Hello, I'm back :) after few hours riding back and forth I still have energy for few more concerts :)

 

first of all, did you guys notice that on setlist is song "till kingdom come" but they played green eyes? o.O I'm glad that they changed it cuz green eyes is my fav song!

 

OK, let's go with review, it wont be great as yours, but i'll try.

 

months in advance I knew that I wanted to go back to their concert, especially when I enjoyed last year in Budapest. I secured agreement with the Agency (ticket + transport) and expecting for 31th july. Unfortunately, as soon as we boarded the bus, we got a notice that we have tickets for the bleachers (i dont know right word). all the way, we discussed how to get down there, but there was no option. We arrived in Udine at 2pm and 4 hours are used for sightseeing, lunch and after all shopping in the front of stadium where I had no luck. T-shirt is very much the wrong date which irritated me (did you notice for 2008 and earlier dates). I bought a shirt with long sleeves, but the male model that I will not wear often, but I have a memory, and a bag from official merchandise. We entered the stadium just as white lies finished with last two song and i was disappointed when we saw our position. even though we were on the right panel of the stage (and in the middle), imagine heart pain when you see all those fans who are already down, especially in the fan pit area. I didnt want to look on the internet for recordings or photos for full surprise. you have no idea how much I enjoyed when I heard Magnificent introduction to the concert. I really like U2 and that song is very much affected! as soon as they come out with mini fireworks (i dont know right word either), balloons have come to the fore and violet hill began. I was thrilled! so I wanted to jump but I was on the scale because I didnt want to sit like 90% of the audience around me. That terribly depressed me because I wanted to be down with you and with you singing and jumping. They were pretty quite and I didnt want to sing out loud cuz I just do not sing well) green eyes is one of my favorite songs and I was totally thrilled when I heard it live! then butterflies on lovers in japan, even I saw it, this is great to see from another perspective (we took them to the road on the return). I did not expect fireworks and it is totally complete the entire concert. I eventually managed to get the free CD, we have raised hands in the air, we looked like zombies :)

 

 

sorry for english, i used google translate (for less mistakes)... pics later

I know one of his sisters was there because he mentioned Lovers in Japan being dedicated to his sister and his cousin, could have been them. :idea2:

 

I was so enthusiastic when they started playing it that I didn't even hear Chris talking :rolleyes:

 

...

 

I have one more photo to show;)

 

 

And I envy those of you who got the CD, when I got out they had already run out of them:cry:

Petra I didn't get the cd either, we went around the stadium trying each exit, they were all gone, bad organisation on the part of those giving them away, I've heard of people who got plenty of copies and someone even stole entire boxes :dozey:

 

Anyway I've started to look through the pics

 

and this is a video of the "Udine song" and Billie Jean, you can't see the band as being in front rows it's impossible to understand where the c-stage is, but the audio is pretty good :)

I got two. But gave one to this guy who was with me in bus. I think that they should give CD when you enter the stadium. one by one. I almost got run over my some idiot. He yelled on that poor girl who was dealing the CD's. She looked really scared!!!!!!!

Entire boxes ... hhhhh?!!:veryangry2:

Yes, one CD per person and there would be no sad people! :\

And I agree that they should be given at the entrance.

 

However I should be happy that I at least have it on my PC :\
