I don't think so, it says the coverage is now over...plus why would they start showing it in the middle of the night? :\

Ok i just got back now only.I am almost front row at the show.To my front is the VIP area.

And the b-stage and where they do In my place runner is just in front of me.

And I was so near to them today.While they are performing In my place and gpasuyf and talk set i was just in front of them.:shocked2:

 

Chris looked at me over and over again and again.

 

And he said this is the best show ever,our singing is fantastic and we audience are number 1 out of all the shows.

 

That's all i can type now.

 

But i say this show just rocked in my words.

 

Instead of hardest part they did another song which i don't know.So there's a change in the setlist.

Beastie Boys' You Gotta Fight (effin' brilliant!)

I think they tell every crowd they're the best, it's just the polite thing to say...

 

How have you never heard You've Gotta Fight For Your Right To Party??? lmao

Beastie Boys' You Gotta Fight (effin' brilliant!)

 

 

This is brilliant beyond words!! :D

Pallavi, was the song you didn't know when it was Chris only at the piano? If so that was Fight for Your Right (to Party) by the Beastie Boys, a get well soon to Adam Yauch and nod to them. I did get that on video but that will have to wait til tomorrow night. Great set from the band - exactly a year to the day since I last saw them in Hartford, the show is much tighter and Chris' voice much stronger now. :) And I'm beat slogging through the mud, so off to bed...

Just got back.

The show was AMAZING.

Seriously, the audience was brilliant. The best audience I've been a part of so far.

simply brilliant. Pics and vids to come tomorrow!

Just got back... what a show! Coldplay never disappoints live. I'll post some videos (HD... wooo! :D), and also some pics!

Daniel (1:44:55 AM): dude

Hokie4ever777 (1:45:06 AM): good shit?

Daniel (1:45:09 AM): coldplay was orgasmic at apw

Will do a proper review later...and post pics&vids(I did it for most of the show:rolleyes: so something good has to come out of that!) But for now I'll say, as cranky as I was at some(lots)of moments....the long wait in the rain and then disgusting mud was all worth it! :D I guess this really does mean I'll go through anything for Coldplay!:P

 

And I think someone already mentioned it:thinking:, but it was same setlist as Montreal; meaning usual setlist but NO Glass of Water or Cemeteries of London:cry: and instead of The Hardest Part, the Beasties' song.

Did they play postcards?

 

no, but he was playing this classicalish type thing-ditty after one other song. I know that's not specific but I can't remember

Did they play postcards?

uhhh:uhoh:I'm totally blanking out on that:stunned:....

I'm a baad coldplayer:shame:, I'm sorry:cry:

(but I wanna say yes...maybe:inquisitive:)

 

edit: Can I offer some videos to make up for it?:embarassed::idea2:

How have you never heard You've Gotta Fight For Your Right To Party??? lmao

 

 

Well Chris said it after the end of scientist and also another song i think i don't remember it really because i am very badly tired and i've to go for another one today.So well after yellow or b-stage set.

 

But he felt that may be and he did say that.

 

But i am glad he said that to our audience.:)

 

 

And how come i didn't heard about it? i am actually not a fan of beastie boys.And so i never heard of them.I usually listen to other artists apart from Coldplay very rare.

Pallavi, was the song you didn't know when it was Chris only at the piano? If so that was Fight for Your Right (to Party) by the Beastie Boys, a get well soon to Adam Yauch and nod to them. I did get that on video but that will have to wait til tomorrow night.

Oh thanks for telling about that song.:)

ok before i go to Mansfield show i am giving my review now:

 

I went to this festival.And first of all when i started at home i was so scared about raining and thunderstorms during the festival.But luckily the skies by the time cleared and there is no rain yesterday in the Jersey sity.We also have to turn our car again after we reached the Holland tunnel from New Jersey turnpike we confused whether its East or West.We went to berkeley heights NY and then turned our car from there took exit I-28 and then went back to holland tunnel following the signs and reached the right direction to go the festival again.But it took another 20 mins.Well but mistakes happen all the time.

But it already rained there by the time i reached there.And there's full of mud every where.I think Chris mentioned it in Violet hill end that "if your feet is merging".:laugh3:Because of that annoying mud every where i've to leave my shoes and have to walk with bare legs till i reached our car and have to go back home like that only.And have to wash my legs for hours.:laugh3:

Well coming to the review.After watching Elbow and the Echo and bunnymen I went straight to front stage at one time then i left that spot and went to the side of the stage to my luck the b-stage and the place where they do the in my place on the ramp was set in front of me.

But there's still a VIP section in front of me.But not so many people there.

After Coldplay came to the stage the LIT and Violet hill were both really awesome.And then Clocks as usual i like that song always especially latest live versions in this tour.:)And then In my place as i said the place where Jonny and Chris will do their last verse is set in front of me and they came there and i was very near to them.Just 2 feet.:shocked2:And then Yellow was really nice and at the end Chris fucked up before beginning to ask us sing and started to sing that line again.I think at the end of Yellow or some other song:thinking:but Chris said this was the best show ever.And we all sang the last verse "look at the stars look how they shine for you and all the things you do they were all yellow".

But i was really waiting to see glass of water but well today i'll see it at Mansfield.No worries for that.:)And no cemeteries of london.And immediately they took 42 and at the end Chris went on singing the lyrics on the piano and he smiled and asked us to the sing along with him where he does his "ohhhh" part.And then fix you started he really liked our singing at the end and i say that because he really surprised at one point after we finished singing and said "ohh." and then said at the end "fantastic singing every body."

And then Strawberry swing was awesome.And then the acoustic set again was in front of me on a small stage set.As usually the gpasuyf and talk set is the one i always like and enjoy and the band went back to the stage after that finished and Chris was alone on the stage and he did beastie boys cover.So its the change in the setlist.But well i am not a fan of them and i didn't know about that song.;)But i enjoyed Chris doing it.:)

And Chris went back again to do Viva la vida and its just very awesome.

We audience all did our viva chants at the end.And then Lost i really enjoyed it.And Green eyes,death will never conquer and billie jean they went to a stage set in the middle some where from the stage, but i can see it still where they did it there's a whole focus of lights on them.But i still don't know how they were able to cross that mud.:rolleyes:But well they may have some arrangements too to go.I didn't really paid attention to what Chris's saying at the beginning of green eyes but i will say he joked a lot and before introducing Will for death will never conquer he fucked up while doing the harmonica.:lol:And the mexican cellphone wave was awesome too.

And then i really enjoyed the Billie jean cover of Micheal Jackson and sang all the words of it.And after Viva remix they came back to the stage and then the Politik was as usually highly rocking and energetic.I enjoyed it.And then lovers in japan wow Chris kept on looking at me and also he used a white umbrella.

The butterflies are not actually done in the entire place.But only to some where just in front.I think because of the dirty mud every where.:rolleyes:

And death and all his friends was really awesome.Its also one of my favorite songs.And they took the bow at the end.Ofcourse Chris came looked at us and waved.And after they went back i know that there's still encore to do so we waited.And the scientist beginned Chris took a book with complete set of their touring till now and said we audience are number 1.And they've really liked to do here in New York/New Jersey.They will see us again after some time that may be a relief for us and them for a while.:(And then started Scientist and thats really awesome and beautiful.And then Lit ii started and i enjoyed it and at the end Chris said "see you all again after few years.good bye" and they all waved and gone.

Ofcourse i will not say this as special but Chris looked at me as always but this time i was more near to him.:)

 

I'll edit this post and i'll post my photos and videos here later.:)

ALL POINTS WET IS A LOT MORE LIKE IT

 

From: http://www.nypost.com/

 

HOW do you ruin the recipe for a three-day rock festival when you have first-class talent and ingredients? Just add water.

 

At All Points West, the big star wasn't Coldplay, Tool or hometown rap mogul Jay-Z, all appearing at the event and dishing up fine headlining performances. APW won't be remembered for these three great acts or the more than 50 artists supporting them, but rather the mud, that smelled like raw sewage, felt like pudding beneath your feet, and made getting around the Liberty State Park seem like a survivors' reality show stunt.

 

No exaggeration. Just ask the kid who slipped crossing the depths of a mud wallow Friday night and started thrashing in the thick pool, screaming, "The leeches! The leeches!" He got laughs from everybody nearby, but we all stepped with even more care, not wanting to discover that maybe he wasn't kidding.

 

The rain, mud, general dampness (and possible leeches) weren't all bad. On Friday night, just after the third rain storm of the day and afro-pop punks Vampire Weekend played "Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa," the chief Vampire, Ezra Koenig, announced that the festival promoters felt bad about the horrendous weather, so all Friday tickets would be honored again for either Saturday's (sunny) or yesterday's (rainy) performances. A nice gesture.

 

While APW was primarily an alt-rock festival, the bill was eclectic, with a healthy dose of electronic music and a strong hip-hop presence over the course of the three days. Clearly, Jay-Z, who pinch-hit for the canceled Beastie Boys, was one of the weekend's strongest acts.

 

Jay opened his set by tipping his hat to the Beasties (currently on ice because of Adam Yauch's throat cancer) with a cover of the Boys' much loved "No Sleep Till Brooklyn," which earned him big points, especially with fans still disappointed about the cancellation. Jay-Z also tried out some new "Blueprint 3" material but easily hit his swaggering stride during his signature "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)."

 

Tool possibly played the loudest set I've ever heard. The volume was so cranked that your nose felt as if it were vibrating on your face. Yet, somehow, the band's sound guys made the audacious assault work for the band. My Bloody Valentine tried the same trick, but only managed to sound as if they had turned on a fighter jet's engine.

Thanks for all the reviews and great pics everyone.They are great

no, but he was playing this classicalish type thing-ditty after one other song. I know that's not specific but I can't remember

He played Gnoissene #1 at the end of Politik :D

 

Anyway, I'm a bit in a hurry cause I want to go round visitng NY this morning before leaving for Washington. All I can say is that it was a great experience to live with the other girls in the mud of the festival, we survived :wacky:
