I like that one!

Looks like it was sponsored by PIXAR though :lol:

Great shots, especially the tunnel, the long stairs and the road at the end.

#42 and the Flaming Lips cover

 

It's pretty common for shows in more out of the way places to be the ones with the most enthusiastic crowds. Oklahoma then, has potential to be a right good night out. We arrive late in the day, as soundcheck has been bypassed yet again. At the top of the ramp that leads us into the bowels of the arena are three young ladies holding banners who giddily bounce and wave as the band's vehicles swing around the corner. This is obviously not the only time this has happened, however when we emerge some hours later after the show, they are still there and they are just as excitable. I really do hope that they saw the show in between. Not just because they clearly were wonderfully bonkers about the band, but because it was a particularly good night.

 

Being in the hometown of the Flaming Lips means a lot at a Coldplay gig. Not only are the band great friends with the Lips guys, but so too are some of the crew. Hoppy, who looks after Chris's guitars worked for them many years ago. So did keyboard tech Neill Lambert (also now infamous as Chris's spooky Halloween attacker). I pass Neill in the corridor just as Wayne Coyne is making his way into the arena. Somewhat fittingly, Neill is in the middle of building a robot out of some metal electrical casings he's rescued from the dumpster. Proof if it were needed that we're heading now onto the beautiful slippery slope into what is commonly referred to as tour madness. I can only imagine that by Christmas, there are going to be a lot of inane grins and wonderfully skewed mental states. In the meantime, Neill's as yet unamed creation has been given a job in the Production Office dispensing setlists. I'm not sure he's even seen the Talk video. Maybe it's just subconscious...

 

 

The show itself is most enjoyable. As predicted, the crowd goes berserk even from before the intro tape and they're clearly out for a good time. Never ones to shy away from joining in, the fellas are lifted into the high gears early on. Will particularly, seems to be attacking the kit like it's something personal. I wouldn't wanna be a snare drum in Oklahoma tonight...

 

 

When we get to the B-Stage, Chris introduces The Hardest Part with a line he's used before: "It's not the best Coldplay song, and it's not the worst Coldplay song". Tonight though, he clearly gives it some thought, before stopping the song a few bars in to declare that the worst Coldplay song "was one of our first ever songs, that was called Ode To Deoderant". And I thought Parachutes was an oldie! You'd need to be breaking both your arms and both your legs to get to hear that one again, I reckon...

 

Talking of rarities, Politik ends to make way for a one-off Flaming Lips cover in honour of tonight's guests.

(Huge thanks to Andy Bramley and the rest of the video dept for the footage!)

 

It only remains for the butterfly confetti to fall and it's pretty much all over. I remember doing a festival some years ago where The Flaming Lips were playing. I think I may still have some of the confetti in the back of my racks even now. It was an utterly joyous experience watching them play. I wonder what Wayne thought of the butterflies. I hope he liked 'em. I'm just hoping Chris doesn't decide that he wants to do the encores in a huge bubble so he can walk over the audience's heads from now on. How the hell would we get the piano in there...?

^:lol: the robot arms are from an ikea lamp :P

 

it's cool!

Funny that he brought up ode to deodorant. Almost disconcerting though that he mechanically goes on about the solo piano bit being "not the worst...not the best..." because he also said that right before playing green eyes in Atlanta. Granted neither of them are the best or worst respectively....

I would seriously break an arm for Ode to Deodorant, who's with me?

But it's on this forum...

That's what I also found funny, is how he's oblivious to the fact that almost every serious fan has heard it a million times, it's even on you-tube. Nor does he know that if they came out and played ode to deodorant, the reaction would be like nothing like Chris has ever witnessed...I mean that positively of course.

So true ^^^^

We want the Ode! We want the Ode!

Let's add that to the list of songs we've always wanted to hear/see them play live but most likely never will...: Ode to deodorant, brothers & sisters, such a rush, careful where you stand, crests of waves, I ran away, things I don't understand, twisted logic and countless more...

That´s great new!

 

But from what i see.. i ask myself why Portugal is uncluded as " rest of the world" :rolleyes: even Spain! why this cant be part of the "rest of world"?

 

But i really wanted to know..why Portuguese people are being ignored :cry::sad2:

Why must everyone from a country when put under the "rest of the world" banner think that they're getting IGNORED! :veryangry2:

 

You're not being ignored. It's not about your country. Coldplay aren't fricken' racists. Now be happy! The same sort of stuff has been flooding the Oracle questions and I'm sick of it. :angry:

I wait for the link of the video..:)

**lolo**

lol calm down :) i know they´re not racists! But the thing is.. Portugal is part of Europe.. and it was the only one country ( if im not wrong) where they did not play this tour :( is kind of sad..but then again probably is not their fault.. maybe its our "companies" (?) i miss the right word :blush: (you know, they are the one who organised this shows) .. we only wanted to know.. whats wrong here :(

 

lol dont be angry !

someone can you uploder the video rodie in format avi please ?

Why must everyone from a country when put under the "rest of the world" banner think that they're getting IGNORED! :veryangry2:

that's nice of them, but really, by then we'll have an avalanche of leaks from 50 different countries :lol:. if they want to really make us dance, they'll release everything on one simultaneous day around the world for their future releases. doesn't that make the most sense anyway?

^pheh :P

Completely agree with you!

Couldn't agree more!!

Several dates are kinda unfair for everyone (non talking on top of that about the mental torture XD!)

I find it hard to wait until monday to get my copy of PM knowing that US and others had it the previous friday!!

 

Liberty, EQUALITY, fraternity :laugh3:

^haha, you were going to get it a day before us, at least! :P

 

but keep in mind there will be a leak out tomorrow, so everyone at least has the opportunity to listen to it at the same time. what gets me is that we have to resort to illegal measures when it makes more sense to me for the record company to do a worldwide release day. it would save day-of leakage and would save them money. i mean, imagine if harry potter had a staggered release!? the world would have rioted :P. we know it works, so i don't get why they just don't do it.

Again, couldn't agree more!! I think I would have gone insane if HP hadn't have a worldwild release!

hehehehe this is great news, one day closer Lore! its going to be a very Coldplaying Thanksgiving at my house
