February 19, 200917 yr Dunno if it's been mentioned but did anyone notice that Bono didn't know the words to the song? :p "I've got soul, but I am a soldier..." Edit: Who's the blonde in the first of those celeb pics on the previous page?
February 19, 200917 yr Dunno if it's been mentioned but did anyone notice that Bono didn't know the words to the song? :p "I've got soul, but I am a soldier..." Yeah I noticed! I think it was absolutely pointless him being there. He was just basically posing :rolleyes:

February 19, 200917 yr Jen's Enormous Review Part 1 Ian and I arrive in London at approx 12:30pm. We checked in, and I texted Mich to let them know we had arrived. The reply came back to say they were at the venue, and the Victims had already started the queue (allegedly at 6am :shocked2: ). A fter a quick, 2 second, consultation, we decided to hot foot it over there and join them. We got the tube to Shepherds Bush, came out of the station, and couldn't work out which way we were going. Luckily, the nice lady handing out Specsavers leaflets gave us directions! We joined the Coldplaying contingent near the front of the queue. By this point, I think we were upto Mich, Kara, Kelly, Lori, Kirsten, Carol and the lovely couple from Birmingham (its so lame, my tired brain cells refuse to produce their names from the depths of last night). I have never queued for so long in my life, for anything (about 7 hours for Ian & I :\ ). Mid-way through, I doubted my sanity, as it started spitting with rain, and the temperature fell, but I tried positive thinking that if we could get front row it would all be worth it (and I could never have imagined in my wildest dreams how very worth it those 7 hours were!! but more to follow on that later :D ). Bits of it were boring, but the time passed suprisingly quickly in the end. Shepherds Bush Common is a busy area so there was plenty to keep us occupied (good conversation; the blue carpet layers; the sparkies sorting the film premiere style lights;emergency services whizzing past; and trips to the shops/pub for warmth/food/drink/toilet breaks). fire engine action shot!!!!! film premiere light thingy It got dark surprisingly quickly, and up popped 3 guys with guitars. chatting to one of them we discovered that the o2 Empire had employed them to keep the queue amused. I don't think they could have imagined how well Coldplaying would take to this, and the Coldplaying Backing Choir was born!! Allegedly, according to one of the guitar men, we were the best part of the queue and the guys near the back weren't anywhere near as enthusiastic (not sure if this was due to the fact we'd been there so long that we even found the Empire switching on its outisde lights exciting!!) Shortly after 21:00, they opened the doors. Due to them checking tickets, ID, and bags, the entry was relatively slow & civilised, so no running was required. We were in the front row on jonny's side of the stage. The Killers were due on at 23:10, so we settled in for more waiting. By this point, it should have felt like nothing, but it still felt like an eternity as we counted the minutes. Luckily, we were able to keep ourselves amused with on-stage roadie spotting, keeping up-to-date with Brits news via Twitter & Mel (good job we had Mel on texts because after 8 hours my phone battery died! ty hun :kiss:), and watching the people in the balconies. Some cool Architecture inside Stage set up ready for the Killers That's Miller behind those drums, that is!! Around the time Anchorman (or was it Phil or #42, I forget) twittered to say that U2's roadies had helped ours to load up at Earls Court, we saw our first peek of them on stage, moving in the big cases with Coldplay on the side. At one point, Franksy came out and was talking to some guys near the back of the stage. Ian tried to get a piccie of him, but the flash settings were playing up. Once Ian finally got a clear shot, Franksy had noticed what he was doing and flashed him a v-sign. That's part 1 done for now :D
February 19, 200917 yr very good! ...but there is at least one more in that picture... Niel Tennant and I'm sure Natalie Imbruglia is in the 2nd last one
February 19, 200917 yr Last night... Last night was amazing. Best gig Ive ever been too. All performances from all performers were just amazing. I felt so lucky to be so close to front although was jealous of those RIGHT at the front but they deserve it for waiting outside for so long =O haha I have a few images and some videos to upload, but here is one of in my place just for now. Sorry about the sound quality, not great, but, makes me smile every time i watch it... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piG6JU9mvnk]YouTube - Coldplay - In My Place - War Child Gig[/ame]
