Oh and your 2 edited vids are awesome, the zoom is so great !

 

@Camille : I love your pics, esp. the one with Cha's glasses and you !

Hi!

 

Hope you saw my messages...

 

Yes, I have the audio and I have actually finished the videos as well, but I'm not happy with one part of VLV.

This reminds me actually that I could upload Lost! already :)

I didn't film a small part in the middle and at the end so I filled the gaps with the TV broadcast :)

Awesome vids Anna !

 

Does he say ''the old king est mort'' ? Shit I'm realising I missed lotsa changes in the lyrics cause I was singing way too loudly...

 

EDIT: by the way this person ( http://www.youtube.com/user/bibout182#play/uploads ) has great vids and wasn't far from us...

My shirt came today!!!!! :dance: :dance:

Thank you

Merci

Dankeschön!

 

And thanks for giving that channel link.

I just watched Violet Hill and Lovers in Japan again... Really good videos - mine are sooo shaky, you can't really watch them without getting seasick :laugh3:

Bonjour a tous,

Voici le Résumé de mon passage "eclair" a Arras pour voir mon groupe préféré!

On commence par le début avec l'arrivée a Arras en compagnie de Guillaume qui a "sauter" dans mon TGV a l'Aeroport CDG , de la le temps est passé a une vitesse PHENOMENALE pendant 1H

Nous sommes arriver au alentours de 11h50 en Gare D'Arras où il y avait peu de monde nous avons pris la navette pour le camping et c'est la que nous avons rencontrés pas mal de FAN de Coldplay ^^ enfin car dans mon lycée , Coldplay n'est pas très apprécié (Ils n'ont pas de goût).

Nous retournons sur la gare routière et nous nous mettons en route pour La Grand' place .

Nous avons rejoins la file d'attente (1H30 d'attente a partir de ce moment là)

Ouverture de la Place !

Tout le monde se pietinnent au début mais plusieurs barrage ont eu raison des "sprinteurs" en effet (la plupart du groupe que nous etions avaient a ma grande tristesse un pass 4 jours alors que moi j'avais un pass 1 Jour!)

J'ai pu passé directement sur la place alors que d'autres ont du re-faire la queue.

Enfin nous nous sommes installer au tout devant la scene (ce qui nous vaudras de passer au moins 4 fois a la TV sur Virgin 17 pendant In My Place) ^^

apres 2H d'attente peu supportable en raison de la chaleur (oui dans le nord il fait plus de 35°) ^^

M.Ward entre en scène , 50 min qui etait longue car le style de musique ne me correspond pas trop^^

Ensuite vien le tour d'Amy MacDonald qui a commencée a mettre le feu a la place ! Les titres s'enchaine avec Mr Rock And Roll et This is the life !

Puis après la Set List d'Amy viens The Ting Tings !

ENORME le soleil commence a redescendre mais la chaleur monte ^^

Disco My Name , We Walk , etc... les titres s'enchainent et ont voit que Katie Et Jules mettes leurs tallent en évidence!

Puis la plus longue attente commence (je connais Miller maintenant ^^) a 21h50 le Groupe entre en scene apres 3 titres (Magnificent , U2 Jay-Z puis André Rieu ^^

Enfin sur Life In Technicolor le groupe rentre en scène comme a Lyon!

A partir de ce moment la le temps passe trop vite !

Violet Hill , In My Place , Lost , les titres défilent et je sens que Guy reste réservé pendant se concert !

Pendant le retour du groupe apres le C-Stage , je reussi a touché la Main de Johnny et Will!!

Hommage a Michaël Jackson avec Billie Jeans

Sur la Fin du concert je me rend compte que Ni Glass Of Water et Cemeteries of London ne sont jouées , se serra le seul bémol de la soirée!

Fin du concert vers 23h45

Nous retournerons au Camping vers 2H du matin la tête rempli de souvenir , de là je me suis couché car le lendemain matin m'attendais un TGV a 6H50 et une marche de 40 Minutes ^^

Pleins de souvenir donc

Les Photos du Concert sont dispo sur ma Page FACEBOOK

Je remercie le groupe avec qui j'etais (je suis en vert dans la photo de groupe plus tot sur ce sujet) (Grande sympathie de la part de tout le monde) et j'envie Guillaume qui est aller au SDF pour voir U2 !!!!!!!!!!

@ Bientôt

In English of Course with google so sorry for the traduction :

Hello everybody,

Here is the summary of my way "eclair" Arras to see my favorite band!

We start from the beginning with the arrival in Arras in the company of Guillaume who "jump" in my TGV CDG airport, the time is spent at a phenomenal rate during 1H

We arrive at around 11:50 in the railway station where there were few people we took the shuttle to the campsite and that is that we have encountered quite a fan of Coldplay ^ ^ finally, because in my high school, Coldplay is not popular (They have no taste).

We return on the bus and we will head to the Grand 'Place.

We join the queue (1H30 waiting from the time)

Opening of the Place!

Everyone is pietinnent early barrage but many were right of the "sprinters" in effect (most of the group that we were had to my great sorrow a pass 4 days while I had a 1 day pass!)

 

have spent directly on the spot while others have re-do the tail.

Finally we install the very front of the scene (which we will be worth to spend at least 4 times a television on for 17 Virgin In My Place) ^ ^

2H after waiting just bearable because of the heat (yes in the north it is more than 35 °) ^ ^

Mr. Ward comes into play, which was 50 minutes long because the style of music do not me too ^ ^

Then come the turn of Amy MacDonald who has begun to set fire to the place! Titles s'enchaine with Mr Rock And Roll and This is the life!

Then after the Set List Amy come The Ting Tings!

ENORME the sun began to come down but the heat goes up ^ ^

My Name Disco, We Walk, etc ... Titles s'enchainent and see that Katie and Jules mettes highlight their tallent!

Then the long wait begins (Miller now I know ^ ^) at 21:50 between the Group in scene after 3 titles (Magnificent, U2 and Jay-Z Andre Rieu ^ ^

Finally on Life In Technicolor group returned to the scene as a Lyon!

From that moment the time is passing too fast!

Violet Hill, In My Place, Lost, titles parade and I feel that Guy is still reserved for concert!

During the return of the group after the C-Stage, I managed to hit Main Johnny and Will!

Tribute to Michael Jackson with Billie Jeans

At the end of the concert I realized that Ni Glass Of Water and Cemeteries of London are played, tightened the only flat of the evening!

End of the concert to 23h45

We return to the campsite to 2am head full of memories from there I went to bed because the next morning expecting a 6:50 a TGV and a walk of 40 minutes ^ ^

So full of memories

Concert Photos are available on my FACEBOOK Page

I thank the group with whom I was (I'm green in the group photo earlier on this subject) (Great sympathy from across the world) and Guillaume who envy the SDF is going to see U2! !!!!!!!!!

@ Soon

PERRINE'S REVIEW ! :P

 

First thought after waking up: No way I’m seeing Coldplay today ! :stunned:

 

Anna, my sister and I arrive in Arras at 11am, totally pumped after listening to Coldplay during 4 hours.

We see the girls – Chavi, Carla, Mounira, Cha, Camille, Marsu- inevitably the firsts in the queue, but too many people behind them for still hoping the front row… I see this little gap between the barriers, look at Anna… okay let’s try ! We sneak inside, we sit down –what a great feeling !- THANK YOU so much to all the Coldplayers who were there since 7 am ! :hug:

 

The wait is terrible, it’s so hot, without any shadow. But being with all these nice Coldplayers make it bearable :nice: We start singing, and people around us already moan … Well they aren’t done with us :P

Then they open the barriers, and we run like crazy! After the checking of the tickets, we run as fast as possible through the whole place, and we finally get front row!

A long wait begins, it was hot like hell, and many people fainted! Mounira almost did, but when the guard asked her if she wanted to be evacuated, she refused… Mounira, just think of what you’d have missed!

The place is really gorgeous and perfect for a concert ! There is this big screen on the left side, with always the same advertisings again and again… The best one : for Virgin Radio, with LiTii as background, haha each time we went crazy and sang :D And OMG… this one for the ice cream, while we were just dieing of heat and thirst BOOOOO ! :P

 

At 5pm, M Ward came on stage, it was quite cool! They started setting the mood.

Then Amy McDonald came, with her cute but hard to understand Scottish accent :P She really has a beautiful and strong voice !

Now, the Ting Tings! They’re awesome on stage ! Katie has such a boundless energy! She read us a little speech in French which was pretty funny “On va vous faire danser comme des oufs !” :lol: The crowd went crazy after hearing the first tunes of “Shut up and let me go”! Their show was really amazing! Actually Camille was super excited… but busy with someone else XD “MILLEEEER MARRY ME !” We saw all the boys backstage, listening to the Ting Tings ! Actually the cutest thing : when Katie asked the crowd to raise their arms, Chris did the same backstage DAWWW !

Then : who does walk just in front of us ? PHIL ! We all screamed his name, and people around us probably thought we were insane, but they still cheered him :P Gaah this smile and those pink cheeks ! We saw Kelly and Jackie too, we cheered them as well, and she looked at us like we were shit ^^

 

We’re getting more and more excited as people install the instruments, and a nice roadie *Brooooook* notice us… well… especially Mounira :P We see Miller taking a pic of the crowd, pretty sure he’s gonna tweet it… we guessed right !

Suddendly, Magnificent is played, we already knew the boys were coming ! Then Jay-Z… and The Blue Danube ! We dance and swing our arms… Finally… the first tunes of LiT ring out, I see the sparklers, I see them… I cry ! Really I couldn’t do any movement, I was just staring at them, not trusting my eyes… first time seeing them is so special !

 

 

Everything was so perfect, Chris was running everywhere, dancing, and his voice was really awesome this day. Guy seemed a bit sad and didn’t smile that much, our Jonnyboy was in great shape, but I almost didn’t see Will, hidden because of Chris’ piano :\

As soon as LiT started playing, we all went totally crazy!

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFEcBHAN3DM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFEcBHAN3DM[/ame]

 

During Violet Hill, Chris paid tribute to Michael Jackson “If you love Michael Jackson…” Everyone was screaming so loud! And he said “Bonsoir Billoute”, haha this still cracks me up! He spoke French a lot during the show, and he’s really really good at French now !

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrKIv5AiYnI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrKIv5AiYnI[/ame]

 

Clocks… wonderful song, especially live… Chris jumping on his piano like a mad man, the lasers :wacky: Aww and the way he imitated Michael Jackson’s shrieks :D

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk1fS3XVCCo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zk1fS3XVCCo[/ame]

 

Beginning of In My Place: it felt so good! I still have goosebumps thinking about it. I love so much when Jonnyboy walks alone on the catwalk, and then Chris runs to him *C&J love* :wacky:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1-BQq1VHh0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1-BQq1VHh0[/ame]

 

Yellow, magic moment, as it started raining (thanks god !), everyone trying to touch those yellow balloons… Actually we didn’t even feel the rain as we were too captivated by the boys, but I think we probably scared them as we were all soaked :P Chris apologized for the rain, and shortly after it stopped…

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKdZbuelnow]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKdZbuelnow[/ame]

 

42 : love the way Chris holds the last note ! Actually I did the same just at the same time, and kept singing while he was out of breath :P

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK310dhgzfo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK310dhgzfo[/ame]

 

Fix You still under the rain, made it even more magic :wacky:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cEvIuvidY0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cEvIuvidY0[/ame]

 

B-Stage : I love the dance version of Talk/GPASYYF !

Before The Hardest Part, Chris paid tribute to MJ, singing a lil part of Billie Jean… I don’t know if it was planned, it would be so cool he did that because of the banners!

This little speech in french was so lovely !

"Je suis désolé parce que mon français est... *we shout EST MERDE*... est incroyable ! (I'm sorry because my french is... unbelievable ! Thanks Chris :dozey:) C'est une plaisanterie... et DONC (...) et aussi, merci beaucoup de nous offert (:wacky:) votre jeudi soir !" IRRESISTIBLE !!

 

As soon as we heard the violin of Viva la Vida, we stopped controlling ourselves (I don’t even know if we did before :P) and sang at the top of our lungs, above all the “O-o-o-o-oh Oh* that everyone around us couldn’t bear anymore because of us :D

I love when Chris changes the lyrics: “Now the old kind est mort, long live the king” ! And Will cracks me up during this song, hitting the bass drum like crazy : head up/arm down…. Head down/arm up :P

Chris did a cute allusion to the Ting Tings, singing “That’s not my name”…

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EVY9eN7VnI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EVY9eN7VnI[/ame]

 

Lost! aka Chris weird dance moves… :P

Just watch the beginning... looks like a duck :D

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cc-ItHdncI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Cc-ItHdncI[/ame]

 

Then the guys walk between the 2 parts of the crowd to reach the C-stage, and that part was quite funny even if they were too far from us!

Just before Green Eyes, Chris asks Will “Voulez-vous danser avec moi le batteur? … Ready? Ouiii…”(Do you want to dance with me the drummer?)… Will didn’t answer but had such a big smile! That was absolutely too cute :wacky:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtp-6K6Wwcs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtp-6K6Wwcs[/ame]

 

After that, Chris grabbed his harmonica and started to perform the song introducing our little Carebear :nice: “The band have got to visit, the people at the back… Et je ne veux pas être mort (And I don’t wanna be dead :shrug:).. Mais j’entends Aura chanter très fort…. *long pause* Haha Aura !” Actually it was the funniest thing during the whole show, the way Chris made fun of himself because he couldn’t pronounce Arras :lol: …. “Et maintenant an extra special thrill… Je dois introduire notre batteur WILL !”

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-gexsTafhc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-gexsTafhc[/ame]

 

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iou_NF8el-4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iou_NF8el-4[/ame]

"MOBILE PHONE !!!!! MILLEEEEEER !!!! I'M A BELIEVER WOOHOOOO !!!!" Cha and Camille you're priceless :D

 

I'm a believer, such a sweet moment ! (starts at 1:36 ;))

"A droite are you in love ? Will, are you in love ? Guy, are you in love ?... STOP ! *JONNYBOY (I let you guess who's that)* Mon ami Jonny *sigh* I know you don't like to sing... I know you don't wanna sing and talk... but I'm afraid the rest of your band and the good people.... in the whole fucking area (Chris' dad isn't gonna like that Chris !) C'est très important ! Exa-cte-ment.... Mer-ci ! Jonny, êtes vu amoureuuux ?" *exploding under this huge C&J love*

During the Viva Remix, the boys came back toward the stage and turned right to go backstage, so they walked just in front of us… Unfortunately I was the first one and didn’t see them in time, but Mounira, Chavi, Cha, Camille and Anna got to touch them :\ I still remember Mounira’s face when she turned after Chris gave her high-five and looked at me totally lost, and me saying “I wanna kill you” :D

 

Politik: here’s my fav part of the song, Chris squealing, still cracks up my sister :P

Just watch around 0:55 ! Yeeeep !

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78TAC0cT5uA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78TAC0cT5uA[/ame]

 

Lovers in Japan : I love this song even more now, remembering how magic it was with all those butterflies :wacky: I had butterflies everywhere: on my head, my camera, my shoulders, my feet, even in my mouth :lol: My sister totally filled her bag with them, I think we have hundreds now!

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g8bI9Iy0OA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g8bI9Iy0OA[/ame]

 

The encore, singing Viva la Vida (AGAIN:P) before the guys come back…

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDFXpa1YGXA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDFXpa1YGXA[/ame]

I'm NOT the one screaming their names (at least 4 times for Guy:D)... at least that's what I hope :uhoh:

 

The Scientist, my fav song, it was so beautiful… I think it brought tears to my eyes, being so close to Chris singing it :wacky:

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcdXlr7fH9Q]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcdXlr7fH9Q[/ame]

 

No relief for me, as soon as LiT ii starts, I know that the show is almost over, so I tried to enjoy, but in the end, when the Escapist begins and they start leaving the stage, I can’t help crying… Plus the guards already shout and push us outside :dozey: I was so groggy, like “Uh help me where is the exit ?”

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH9e7DzESgY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EH9e7DzESgY[/ame]

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jqzLNYz0CI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jqzLNYz0CI[/ame]

ROFL Cha, I've never heard such a high-pitched voice ! Jonnyyyyy ! And after that Camille shouts Jonny too... uh.. not exactly the same voice after screaming Milleeeeeer at least 50 times:lol:

 

Hopefully, thanks to Mounira we met a super nice roadie, Brook, and we even took a pic with him :P (and that stupid drunk guy who squatted my pic :D)

 

It was such a weird experience: I was hypnotized all time long, thinking of nothing else, even forgetting my name :D The time was like frozen, I felt like it ended as soon as it started! I’m still under the shock, I can’t believe that I saw them just in front of me, it was so surrealist! I think I took the biggest slap in my face ever, that’s probably why I’m still so confused, my memories are so blurry! But I’ll ALWAYS remember my first Coldplay show, this rush of adrenaline which lasts 1h40, this strange feeling which makes you forget everything else, which makes you scream like you’ve never thought you could, which blows your mind miles away, which makes you feel SO good… yes that’s just unforgettable…

Definitely, I love them even more than before… Yes, it’s possible :heart:

 

 

And again: I wanna thank all the nice Coldplayers who were there, was such a great time with you all, can’t wait to see you again in Paris! :dance:

 

THANK YOU MY DEARS !

 

Sorry for my english, I'd like to speak better :\ And sorry for the vids, it's better to enjoy the show !

Pics are coming ;)
