Aww, I've missed Roadie 42...awesome blog.

Fanstastic blog Mr Miller :D

 

What happened to Phil's Tweets though? :( I kinda thought he'd gone home or was having a little break. But he was obviously still on tour with them. I miss his fun little Tweets.

Maybe we freaked him out with the kitty thing..... :uhoh:

Bash relays the word to Will so the band know what's going on. For a song or so, things continue. Will then shouts down his mic that comes only to the crew's ears. "We have to do the B and C out there". He's made the decision and there's no questioning it. Off scurry a bunch of folks to reset things before Strawberry Swing comes to a close.

 

They gotta listen to Mr Champion :whip:

 

I'm crossing the stage with my camera, as Stage Manager Kurt takes the opportunity to mop up the onstage puddles whilst the band are out in the crowd. As I pass Guy's mic, I bump into none other than Phil Harvey on his hands and knees mopping away with a fistful of towels. Trooper... ;-)

 

Awwwww, he takes care of his boys :nice:

 

Adversity often bonds and brings out the best in folks. The show ends and the overwhelming feeling that it's been a huge victory all round is unmistakable. I bet we have some extremely unpleasant outdoor conditions this summer, but quite frankly, you can bring it on....

The summer outdoor shows are gonna be A.W.E.S.O.M.E :dance:

absolutely awesome blog :)

The blogs keep getting better and better :dance:

 

And awwww... Will is awesome :wacky:

Awesome blog, almost felt the rain dripping down my neck.

 

But #42 lied!!!!!

 

To that end, I've dug out the few lines I wrote in the airport lounge in Abu Dhabi about the last show.

 

that was more than a few lines :laugh3: it was a review of fan girl proportions!!! :D

Hehe, I didn't notice that :D

 

Bad Roadie #42 :whip:

As I pass Guy's mic, I bump into none other than Phil Harvey on his hands and knees mopping away with a fistful of towels. Trooper... ;-)

 

see Phil did not go home :smug:

 

awesome blog btw.. I didn't really expect any at this time so nice suprise :D

Awesome blog, almost felt the rain dripping down my neck.

 

But #42 lied!!!!!

 

 

 

that was more than a few lines :laugh3: it was a review of fan girl proportions!!! :D

:lol:

 

The only thing it lacks is a few squees here and there :P

:lol:

 

The only thing it lacks is a few squees here and there :P

 

plus a fangirl description of Phil mopping would have been so much filthier :lol:

:lol:

 

You bet it would :sneaky:

How wonderful is Will to insist on doing the B and C stage :wacky:

 

 

 

Wonderful blog Mr R#42 :nice: Have a good rest :D

i love that miller's a fangirl :lol:. it's what makes the blogs brilliant :wacky:.

Now, this point illustrates Coldplay very well. They get a lot of stick for being "soft". The fact is though, that they have balls. I've never seen them take the easy option. Nobody would blame them for playing it safe here. They know, though, that the gig will be better if they're out there giving the punters the whole show, rather than bottling out and keeping dry. Note that Will said "we have to". Not "we probably should" or "can we try". This is as good an indicator as I can give of how things are done round here.

Aaaaaww.They are amazing :D

Great blog, though those roadies must have been frantic. I am indeed curious of how they're gonna pull the outdoor summer shows if severe weather strikes. Obviously it won't happen here in L.A., but I wouldn't be surprised if the band played through a tornado.

Nive blog! Thanks 42 :nice:

:dance: Downloading as we speak woo!! :D :D

My first Application purchase :)

Woohooo me wants :dance:

Gonna download tonight :D

 

Nice picture... :heart:

 

 

When Yellow kicks in and all the lights fire out into the crowd, two things become obvious. Firstly, the rain is punishingly heavy. As the beams push out from the stage into the night, they show up exactly how hard and unremitting the rain is. It's so dense that it's difficult to see the back seats.

 

More interesting, though, is the second revelation. The crowd are still going absolutely nuts. Fair play to this lot, they're here for a good time and absolutely nothing is going to stop them. There are folks on each other's shoulders, people are cheering, singing and having a great night. Absolutely amazing response. Nobody could blame these folks for giving it a miss, or just turning up and cowering miserably under their coats wondering whether they should have really bothered.

 

They're amazing. We've had many great crowds on this tour, and even on a dry and regular day, this lot would be amongst the top ones. The fact that they're going for it in such grand style on such a miserable night wins them full marks all round.

 

Wow :wacko:

 

 

The band clearly appreciate the energy they're being fed. Chris spends a good portion of his time out on the ramps getting completely soaked, showing solidarity with the drenched punters.

 

Chris. :rolleyes::heart::heart:

That's one of the things that makes them THE BEST BAND IN THE UNIVERSE. :D

 

 

 

Very nice blog ;)

What is the meaning of the iPhone app, do you have to tap the white blocks falling down? I don't get it :blush:

Yeh pretty much, and shake the phone in the way the arrows point, and hold down the 'taps' when theres a streak. Theres an in game tutorial for you in the app :nice:.

Sounds great, gonna buy it later today :dance:

Is it good?Cause I can't decide whether I should buy it or not
