July 25, 200916 yr Aw okay ! What a nice experience !! *fingercrossed for a video* Yeah it was amazing. I just wish that they weren't scheduled for a concert at Irvine that same day, because we could have met them, or done some signings.
July 25, 200916 yr Yes it would have been so cool ! *sigh* go to the coldplay official site, and you could see a little bit of the video from the private concert at Capitol Records. It's under Roadie #42 I can't tell which one I am in the audience lol.
July 25, 200916 yr Awww I already watched that video and I was wondering if it was your private concert !!! How awesome :nice:
July 25, 200916 yr Awww I already watched that video and I was wondering if it was your private concert !!! How awesome :nice: yeah that was the concert. i was sitting in the third row, but it's dark so i cant see myself. lol. :) but i think there will be a longer video, of the entire performance.
July 25, 200916 yr Yeah it was amazing. I just wish that they weren't scheduled for a concert at Irvine that same day, because we could have met them, or done some signings. And I wish they hadn't done the Capitol records show because they missed the "Cocktails with Coldplay" contest that I won from KROQ. R #42 just posted in his blog about the Capitol records concert and how they had to take a helicopter between Burbank and John Wayne airports. It looks like the band didn't even arrive at Verizon until dusk. But it looked like a great show, even if Will did have to play bongo-like on an empty water bottle. lol http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=450
July 25, 200916 yr Lol it's okay, my phone's fine for now. There should be a video, because they had a cable wire with a camera man going around recording everything. I'm waiting for the video, and for the pics of all us winners. We ourselves couldn't take pictures, because no phones or cameras were allowed inside. Hmm number of people, there were about 40 winners. When we got inside, there were many seats reserved for Capitol Record workers, I can't tell you exactly how many people there were but from the winners, there were about 40. It was more of a mature and private concert, we were all seated during the entire show, it wasn't like a huge loud concert. We were all quiet and absorbing the music lol. (partially bc it was being recorded and our voices would ruin the song) What time did they perform? Just curious, and I can't help but be a bit annoyed that they were scheduled to do this show, too. Nothing against you, you were so lucky to win, and I texted my little fingers off and played all the stupid online stuff to get points to cash in for entries. But way back in March, I won a Cocktails with Coldplay promotion from KROQ, and they ran out of time to spend any time with those winners because of the Capitol concert. From R 42's video, they arrived at Verizon in Irvine and it was already almost dark. We literally had about a 5 minute photo op for 80 people, *right* and I mean *right* before they went on stage. After they left our groups, we had enough time to walk to our seats, and Blue Danube was playing, so it was so rushed. But that's so awesome you got to go to that show.

I wish i could tell you the exact time, but phones weren't allowed so i dont know for sure. I was there at 4, and they were scheduled to perform at 5. But they arrived past 5, probably 6:20 or around then. All I know is that it was a long wait, but worth the twenty minute performance. Im sorry that the KROQ promotion was scheduled on the same day. Whoever organizes these promotions needs to start thinking realistically. But congrats on the photo op, even if it was really short.
July 25, 200916 yr So it already happened.....what did they play? Viva la Vida, a song that Will sang (sorry i forgot the name of the song), Billie Jean, Strawberry Swing, and I think Lost. There were five in total, i can't remember if it was Lost or Death and all his friends, sorry. I cant remember all of the songs that were played, it happened a week ago and my memory pretty much sucks.
July 25, 200916 yr the song Will sang was probably Death Will Never Conquer Yeah i think it was. It's the same song that Will sings at the concerts. He sang the same song at Carson when they ran towards the back of the audience.
July 25, 200916 yr The organisation kinda seemed shit, but at least you got to see them during 20 minutes :nice:

We were kind of left in the dark and not told anything other than they were behind schedule. So we were kept waiting for 2 hours and they were 't even at Verizon. I blame management and whomever did the scheduling for cutting it all so close. But sunday was an amazing concert and I got to talk to Will and Chris even I'd it was just for a few seconds. LA seemed so rushed . other backstage footage I've seen shows impromptu jams, ping pong, etc but no time here for that.

Yeah same here, all we knew is that we had to be there at 4:45 because they were going to perform at 5. lol that didnt go as smooth as planned. Yeah same here management wise, it just seems like everything was rushed into two days. Didn't they have two weeks in LA working on the Strawberry Swing video, couldn't this have all happened during then. I understand they were working, but it could have made this so much easier. Im jealous that you were able to talk to them, congrats! Yeah, too much scheduling is bad for both the fans and Coldplay.
August 15, 200916 yr +1 I don't know. I keep checking the http://www.star987.com website, and they have the pictures but no video. Other Stripped performances are online, so I wonder what the delay is.
August 23, 200916 yr Im a little mad that STAR still hasnt posted any pictures or videos up from the event. Yeah they have a few professional photos, but what about the pictures taken of all the people there? Im crossing my fingers for the video of the performance, still dont know whats taking so long, im constantly checking the site lol.
