thanks for the link, svenky!!

he. is. so. adorable.

 

for a second, i was like, "jeeez, he wore the hobo clothes.." but he actually doesnt look half bad.

i have an unofficial setlist just from the tweets:P

 

Clocks

Lost?

Yellow

My Love Will Not Let You Down (Springsteen cover)

Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag

Viva la Vida

Earth Angel (The Penguins cover)

 

but we should probably wait until someone comes back from the gig to confirm;)

 

I was there tonight! Just got back not too long ago, actually. That setlist looks just about right. I was hoping he'd play for longer. He did some instrumental piece before Clocks, but I'm not quite sure what it was. It had tinges of Amazing Grace to it, but it was excellent.

 

I might be a little biased, but I think Chris was easily the best of the evening. He really filled the whole space with just him and his piano and Davide Rossi backing him up was just incredible--especially on Viva la Vida. He was one of the few performers who I think really took the acoustic bit to heart and it showed. Chris was his usual funny self, making fun of his own striped hat and saying he was dressed like a hobo. His microphone fell off the stand during the second chorus of VLV and he looked slightly terrified. The Springsteen cover was unbelievable (if extraordinarily obscure) and I am absolutely psyched to have gotten to hear Lost? live. Earth Angel was just ridiculous though, really brought the house down. A kind of surreal moment to have Chris Martin lead this acoustic singalong of Earth Angel.

 

In terms of the other performers tonight, Jimmy Buffett and Fleet Foxes were some of the other highlights. Monsters of Folk and Sheryl Crow were both quite good as well. No Doubt was underwhelming, but Gwen Stefani looked INCREDIBLE. Not a Wolfmother fan, but they were alright as well. Neil Young is just on another planet musically. Hugely enjoyable. I was psyched to see him.

 

Can someone post all the photos here please?
