Fans delighted by Exeter Coldplay concert :wideeyed:

 

Anyone bought the Echo already?

 

Followed your link... it says there's an 8 page special :o

 

I have just been out and bought some copies of the Echo.

 

It's the whole front cover, more writing on page 5 and there is a special pull out too.

 

Chris and Alison are quoted and pictured in the pull out...and yes Chris (Jayzo) they used your homecoming quote :rolleyes: :laugh3:

 

Dont worry I got you guys copies like you asked, the shop only had 2 copies left after I'd been in there!! Haha

 

:D

 

Oh dear... I have suddenly remembered I was wearing THAT hat... never thought they'd use my photo, or my quotes... I was the most boring one there!

 

Ahhh, thank you so much to everyone who was there and have come back to share all your goodies!!! :wacky: This gig seems like it was a truly special event, so all the pics and vids and great stories are greatly appreciated, I'm still going through some vids, but I just wanted to thank you all :kiss:

 

Oh and just for the record...

 

I hate you both :snobby: :P

 

How do you think I feel Pris? You were on the other side of the world... I was ten minutes away walking to the venue :facepalm:

Thought I'd post one final pic of mine... ignore me cos I look bleh! but Guy looks good :D

 

GUYS!!

I've got friends over so I can't write much now, but I will soon add my review to the wonderful reviews that have already been posted.

It was such an amazing evening and so great to see all the hardcore Coldplay fans. I enjoyed their stadium concerts too, but Saturday was 1000x better!

As I said, I'll be back with my review soon.

All your pictures are amazing by the way! Great quality.

Oh...I was on the same train to Exeter as Will and Jonny. :) I wanted to say "Hey, see you later!" but I was too shy, silly me. It was funny though, cause nobody seemed to recognize them (although they looked damn fine...like proper rockstars). :lol:

You were on the same train?! omg lucky you!! You should have said something :laugh4:

noooo, it's a really nice pic! :cool:

(I reckon you should crop all the grumps out in the background though, hehe!)

Best. Day. EVER.

 

:P

 

Oh yes! :cool::D

I know, I'm so silly. I didn't want to be annoying, although I'm sure they don't mind people recognizing them. :\

noooo, it's a really nice pic! :cool:

 

Thank you! :D

anyway, about the after concert, we met Chris outside of the hangar, it was great, i collected other signs and took a photo with him talking for a moment with him about the gig. really great.

he was absolutely kind.

 

what about shiver, i hated guy for a day cause i knew that it's his fault that they don't play shiver.

 

actually, the gig was gorgeous.

I'm starting to think Guy must have some really personal reason for not wanting to play Shiver...

i would hope it was for this..but i'm doubtful

I am so jealous of everyone who went to the gig it makes me want to cry. :cry:

 

Lovely reviews and pictures. Thank you.

Edit: Guy pic (thanks Chris :D)

 

 

:)

O M G ... Mich!!! :bomb: :heart: :dead:

 

This pic is absolutely adorable :) :)

 

It looks sooooo good :)

Congrats :smug:

 

EDIT:

Chris, sorry ... :(

It's of course uber nice to have you in that pic as well ;) :P

Hurrah!

 

One of my videos worked (it was my first time trying to record one with my camera)

 

Unfortunately I deleted the other 3 by accident :embarassed:

 

Now to work out how to upload it...

Oh no, you lost some of your videos :( That's too bad!!

 

At least you still have one of them...

What a great pic I took :cool:

 

I'm starting to think Guy must have some really personal reason for not wanting to play Shiver...

That's my same feeling...and it would also explain why Chris didn't want to tell anything and to ask Guy :thinking:

It's a pity, but didn't Chris stop playing Green Eyes for a while because of personal reason, am I making up things? :P

 

Anyway, this is especially for Noelia :hug:

:shocked2: LISSI!! OH MY GODDDDD!!! You were on the same train as Will and Jonny!? And you DIDN'T say hello!?! :bomb: You silly silly girl!! :laugh3: Awwwe you should have been brave and gone up to them, I don't think they get recognised half as much as Chris... they said they can travel around London on public transport pretty easily without being hassled when they were on The South Bank Show. If I had been you I think I would have been too intimidated too; when I had the chance to talk to Jo Whiley on Sat night my bro was the one who forced me to have courage :P Still, how likely are you to get that opportunity again... :(

:stunned: How did you manage to meet Chris after the show?? Did you have to wait around the venue until they were leaving? Wow your so lucky, I thought about waiting around for a while but I convinced myself me and my brother would have to wait for several hours in the cold. What time was it do you think when you met him?

 

And I understand what you mean, if there was one negative thing I could say it would be my disappointment at them not playing Shiver. I was reeeally hoping they would play it and I kinda believed there was a good chance they would... as it's the first song they played for Jo Whiley live on Radio 1 years ago in the Parachutes era. They actually played it in her live lounge on the Friday of Wembley back in Sept, I'm sure... so I don't really understand why they really didn't want to on Saturday. :\

 

It must mean something that Chris said about how Guy doesn't like playing it anymore... perhaps it's personal, or he's just tired of it.. Guy himself said that it just wouldn't have sounded good enough live either... :confused: But they must have a genuine reason, it's just I felt a bit sad that they didn't decide to delve into the lesser-played Parachutes or AROBTTH tracks at all. Don't get me wrong I loved the Christmas covers and was very happy Chris played Till Kingdom Come but I wasn't expecting them to stick mainly to the Viva Setlist. I kind of ended up thinking that it may be something to do with the fact that they would have had to practice a lot more to play some of the older songs that haven't been played on the Viva Tour. But still, it was sad having to accept that I probably never will get to hear Shiver live. :cry: Oh well mustn't moan!!

 

BTW my Strawberry Swing video is up now... you can even watch it in HD. :nice: [ame=

Chris did say they've tried playing Shiver and they just can't seem to get it right which is why they don't do it live now :(

Anyway, this is especially for Noelia :hug:

This pic is sooooo very cute :heart:

 

Now I feel even more sad about not having the chance to have been there ... :(
