Hicksy Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Hi peeps! Well what a fantastic day! Great atmosphere, good, great and amazing music, fantastic weather, oh yeah and there were Coldplay :) So for the set, well unknowing what was and what was not shown on TV, the highlights were most of the regular tour set: The Scientist Yellow Everything's Not Lost God Put A Smile In My Place... CLOCKS - very very well received and an amazing sight with their uber-green-laser streaming over the croud :D The less known tracks included were (drum roll...) Your World Turns Upside Down (an EXCELLENT performance - they really have this one nailed now and it's a great, great song - the only thing i'm not sure of is if i like the ending..) Poor Me (again very well recevied - these new songs are really coming into their own now - but they played out the track with a full-band closing rather than the far more atmospheric chris piano close which is a shame in my opinion :embarrased: ) Chris was quite chatty and his usual over zealous self. Yet again it was the best gig of their lives - but hey I guess there were some people who hadn't already heard that three times this year :rolleyes: They closed off the set with a shortened rendition of "it's a wonderful word" with the second verse as a thank you to the crowd... My feelings after the set were that they are still on very top form but i felt that they want to move on a bit now - they are starting to move the set on a bit with new songs now a regular occurance and all it makes you think of TIME FOR A NEW ALBUM NOW LADS... I hope they oblige :cool: So all in all a great set and a great day!!! roll on next year :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrPolitik Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 i'll probably post my take on all this, though it will read similar to Si's... some quick comments: I loved YWTUD(is it your or my?... No Matter!) ...awesome! I hadn't heard it live till yesterday. Personal Highlights: Chris goofing around throwing himself off the piano :D , Daylight- the first time i saw them, i wasnt really feeling this song but now YES!!! other personal highlight- Shiver! woooo! BUT i still have yet to hear Ladder to the Sun live :angry: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hicksy Posted August 17, 2003 Author Share Posted August 17, 2003 i think it was going to Lips Like Sugar but it turned out Echo & The Bunnymen performed it earlier on so maybe it was scrapped... I can't believe my vibe of them seeming to be itching for a new album was so accurate :lol: :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essexbird Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 By the way, these songs were recorded in Chemlsford o Stafford? **please, Stafford, fingers crossed* not sure about all of them, but I'm sure "The Scientist" is Chelmsford (I was there!!! :D ) and Chris had a bit of a "cough" in the middle of the second verse (bless 'im!) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
