sandersidle Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I'm in a horrible mood right now so this isn't the post I really wanted to make but oh well. Johnny and I before the show. I'm aware of how stupid this is but do not want face on internet. Inside the family room. Schedule posted in the family room. Awesome cake at the after party for Will. We were lucky enough to get a group shot with Chloe and Johnny but I don't feel comfortable posting my friends on the internet, so. I hope everyone had a good time. By the looks of it, you all did.

grimrepo2049 Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone else who was at the show could help me out. I saw a shirt on sale there that I haven't been able to find anywhere else. It was basically a black shirt like this but only said "Viva" and had a white to red gradient across the text. Any help would be appreciated. The concert was amazing and I really enjoyed them, but I'm a little bummed out about the merchandise prices they had.

Ziggy Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 One Day Like This A Year Will See Me Right! One day like this a year will set me right! (Elbow) After seven months of anticipation, July 30, 2009 finally came, bringing my first Coldplay concert experience. At 55 I'm one of the oldest people I saw at the concert, but I was also one of the most ecstatic. Even as I approached the Rogers Ctr. with my two friends, there was a warm welcome from random people gathered outside and in the beer garden. People who wouldn't otherwise have given me a second glance were coming to hi-5 me, asking "Coldplay?". Seems my Fair-Trade bracelets are a give-away. There was a definite sense of unity and joy from everyone. I should give you a little sampling of my concert-going experience. The earliest one I remember was about 1969. I saw Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass at Varsity Stadium in Toronto. Fast forward to Melanie at some University of Waterloo auditorium in 1971 (peace, love, grooviness!). In 1972, Cat Stevens at Massey Hall (disappointingly brief and impersonal). In 1977, Emerson Lake and Palmer at Exhibition Stadium (ducking flying booze bottles). Innumerable classical concerts and dance performances and recitals. And most recently, the Rankins at Massey Hall in 1996 (Celtic peace, love and a pint - almost got kicked out for dancing!). Until Thursday, I'd never seen the inside of the dome. That was the first awesome visual sensation of the night. We arrived just after Kitty, Daisy and Lewis has left the stage. Disappointed to have missed them, we found our seats in A6. Now, looking at the seating chart and then actually stand in right field are two seemingly unrelated experiences. I've never been in a crowd that size and it was dizzying, even with most seats still empty and the house lights on. A mid-sized city of people - all there for one love - Coldplay. We had a view of the stage from about 100 ft. and were directly in front of one of the 50 ft. screens. Perhaps the best of both worlds, I hoped. One of the biggest thrills of the night for me was seeing Elbow. One big class act, with music that moves like the tide and carries you with it just as surely. Before they closed their 6 song set with "One Day Like This", their current hit, Guy Garvey, their front man, said their job was to warm up the audience, but his expression clearly said that would be redundant. They got huge ovations from the crowd after each song and a standing O, at least in the GA and A sections, when they signed off. We were warmer than warm! Next, the super-charged wait, during which I took the opportunity to do some shopping and use the euphemism. Got 2 T's and a hoodie, then went looking for the Oxfam booth, but time was getting on and I thought I heard U2 playing, so back to our seats. Some fancy high-wire action on the wave-shaped light rigging by a daring roadie. A roadie break-dancing to Jay-Z - very cool! Then ... "The Blue Danube" and the goose-bumps and chills down my spine started. The audience already going nuts in a big way - me included. Then the sparklers. And the guys were on! How to describe such a cluster of peak experiences. From the opening strains of "Glass of Water", the energy just built and built. "Yellow" was a highlight, as I got to volley two of the huge yellow balloons upwards (and did so with apparent skill that I got hi-5's from the other folks who'd been trying for it. Being 6'3" with very long arms has its advantages. The cell-phone wave looked really cool, and emphasized the size of the venue when the lights went all the way to the top of the 500 sections. As I anticipated, the audience singing "Lights will guide you home..." from "Fix You" actually did cause tears to stream down my face. "Viva La Vida" brought the crowd to a tidal roar of joy. I was really glad to hear "Green Eyes", "Politik", "Death and All His Friends" and "The Scientist". As always, a favourite for me is hearing Will sing, though that stage was quite far away. The band lived up to every expectation I could have had - and went even further. Chris's stage persona is completely disarming and you can't help but love him. His musical talent is epic. He didn't stop from start to finish. He made jokes about the local garbage strike and about how when you see yourself on a 50 ft. screen, you know you should have had a haircut. Jonnny wrung the rock and soul from his guitar with style and class writ large. Will's drumming is nothing short of heroic. I felt privileged to sing Happy Birthday to him with everyone. And Guy is the coolest bassist ever. I must confess that I wished I'd been in the pit, and will be next time. But I was also very glad to have a seat for the last few songs. Constant dancing, singing (off-key I'm sure, but who could hear anyway), jumping, clapping, cheering wore me out a little faster than when I was 18. I'm still a little hoarse. To the Coldplating.com friends who I never got to meet, but with whom I was there is spirit, the loss is mine. I'm proud of us all! In his final words, Chris said "You'll never know how much today has meant to us." Same here, Coldplay, and Thank You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyDancerKar Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 I have to say, I was standing RIGHT in front of Guy, and before this concert he was probably my least favorite member of the band. But at the concert he was smiling at us and dancing for us, so he's moved WAY up in my list. He looked like he was having so much fun. I used to think he didn't really care about the fans like the others did but he was really paying attention to us and making sure everyone had a good time. He is now tied with Chris. :D He was awesome! He was so smiley and just having a grand time! I LOVE GUY SO MUCH MORE NOW THAN EVER BEFORE SCHMEM!

Sled Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 All I have to say about the concert was that it made my year. Thank you so much Marie. I was at the front rail in the very corner where the right catwalk started. Although I loved where I was I couldn't but help wish that I could move to different spots as the band moved. This is not a complaint in anyway ... as I sad I loved my spot. I think that this normal. Unlike many here ... I didn't mind the Kitty band too much. Yeah the male looked like he was 18 years old. I think that the sound quality was better at the front as we had the amps to listen to. Did anyone else notice that volume wise Kitty(low), Elbow(medium), CP(loud)? I think that they either do that to build up the anticipation or has something to do with the number of bodies in the audience. Was very impressed with Elbow. Felt kinna bad for them because they knew everybody was really waiting for CP. But on the up side the probably gained many new fans. The singer was good and had a really nice demeanour/vibe about him. CP ... OK I'm secure in my masculinity. But, I have to confess that listening to certain songs at home always brings tears to my eyes. Yeah, real men do cry. I'm not sure why but it may be an association with the time I lived in England and CP were just getting airtime. I also suspect that it may be CM's emotions and lyrics ... I dunno ... but as they came on stage (I could see them behind the screen with the sprinklers) I started to tear up. Now thank god that the huge security man was in front of me and I just made it look like it was the smoke or something. But I didn't tear up for the rest of the show ... and I thank you guys for that. Because there was just so much positive emotion and cheers even during the tough songs for me. Thanks folks, Now I have to find something to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sled Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Does anybody know of a butterfly exchange thread on this board? I think I recall seeing something similar awhile back. Essentially I'd love to have a butterfly from the shows around the world in exchange from the ones that I picked up in Toronto. I'd kind of like to post them along one of my walls with the envelope of where it came from. Thanks, Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazmartini Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 You mean this flag? Hi Ziggy, I was going to message and tell you that I held the flag up at the end and Guy saw it and smiled at me..... I didn't see too many people with the flag... I had a bunch and gave some out and Aunie had hers and the purple girls also brought with them... anyway great job on the flag... thank you...

marie/pims Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Yes it is nice to see that Marie is OK. Shame to have missed you. I was right up against the rail in the corner in front of Guy ... green hat white shirt. (right in front of the security guy who mostly sat for the whole show). cazmarttini ... you were right to my left then? We you the lady that gave me the flag? Thank you so much. I was beside the boys. There was a young girl there that had to be taken to the medic as she was looking like she was going to faint nearer the end? I was concerned ... Marie ... sorry I missed meeting you. Glad to hear everything went well. And thank you EVER so much for the ticket. Jason I had one as well but it got a bit ripped :confused::confused: Hi Ziggy, I was going to message and tell you that I held the flag up at the end and Guy saw it and smiled at me.....
