busybeeburns Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/embed/7cggNMRXiiw Coldplay Glastonbury set draws Beyoncé, Jay-Z, mixed reviews Coldplay headlined the Saturday bill at England's Glastonbury Festival, and the writer for "The Guardian" could barely conceal his contempt as he damned their set with the faintest of praise and a handful of insults. The review began with "It's not easy being the boy band U2 when the real thing played the night before" and suggested that "before they walked onto the Pyramid stage, Coldplay were Glastonbury 2011's forgotten headliners," with Friday's set by U2 and Sunday's Beyoncé appearance (with a rumored guest spot by her husband, rapper Jay-Z) drawing all the pre-game hype. The writer then went on to write them off as "specialists in the kind of non-specific, one size fits all emotion that plays well in front of the Pyramid stage" and sniffed that "after the symphonic intro music and fireworks, no one cares that the opener, new track 'Hurts Like Heaven,' is basically a Walt Disney version of Arcade Fire's 'Keep the Car Running.' " The critic for NME enjoyed it more, proclaiming it "a great set of the classics and some of the new tracks, and not too many Chris Martin cheese moments/air punches/odd marching band outfits." And Beyoncé and Jay-Z apparently quite liked it. They were seen rocking out at the front of the stage in the VIP section during Coldplay's set. We'd tell you what Beyoncé had to tweet about it but her Twitter page still reads, "@BEYONCE hasn't tweeted yet," despite having drawn more 1.3 million followers to her page. Before she caught the set, Beyoncé told the BBC, "I'm the biggest fan of U2 and I'm the biggest fan of Coldplay, they are genius, so I've spoken to both of them about my setlist. I'm so excited to share the stage with them."

getithom Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I finished watching Glastonbury on VH1 last night - and wow. I swear, the concert was fantastic. Even more enjoyable than it was live. Superb job, Coldplay. You are indeed talented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasoKnight Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Watched it last night on VH1 with some friends. It was absolutely spectacular. Their best Glastonbury, hands down. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deirdre Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I watched the concert Saturday and here are my feelings: - I had kind of the same feeling than lafinion (comment in the news): they seemed happy but in the same time pretty nervous or what to play there. To me, they felt more relax at Rock Am Ring (those are the only shows I watched)! - I still enjoyed GPASUYF rock version and Us Against The World. They should definitely be recorded and sold :D I also still enjoyed the extended version of Life Is For Living! And ETIAW is still a great song to finish the concert, so joyfull! - I enjoyed they played Shiver (I liked the rocking guitar on the bridge) and Everything's Not Lost :dance: - I liked the crowd singing along (how many people were there? A lot!) - I liked Chris improvising lyrics on What A Wonderfull World - Major Minus makes me think of some other song(s) and I don't know why but it's bothering me :wacko: - Charlie Brown is growing on me! - I liked the stage design (with those circles) and the lights (the ones on the pyramid for the last song were pretty awesome!) Thank you again to people who found links to watch the concert so I was a part of it too ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ireentje Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 My favorite bit so far (just watching it for the first time) is Chris just absolutely singing his heart out and dripping with sweat on the final bits of Politik. Brings a tear to my eye every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdplayingfromKansas Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 ^ THIS. That man puts so much heart into that song every single time he sings it. . . It's wonderful :dazzled: and it gets me every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp13 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Not to be overly critical, but I was jugely dissapointed by the performance. The setlist was choppy, and not well thought out. I hate that they played nothing from X&Y except fix you. They were really uncomfortable and visibly so throughout the entire performence. In essence, there were enough bad vibes to run a hoodoo factory, which completely ruined the whole experience for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomnames Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Yes, it's too bad they've kind of put material from X&Y on the backburner, other than Fix You... would have liked to see them perform The Hardest Part, or Talk. Only so many songs you can play during a show though! (X&Y was arguably their least liked album too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFDianne Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 :laugh3::laugh3: That commercial.... Why was the hubby so excited they recieved 3?????:laugh3: GROSS Will did eff it up and that was the 1st time I've seen that. The expression on his face was like he, got caught taking extra cookies or something out of the cookie jar:D And if you order right NOW, they ship in a discreet package, but if you wait...uh oh. Guess the package won't be as discreet. I can't stop watching the show...I really have to get the songs on my iPod because I can't wait for LP5 any longer. And the bundle I ordered is delayed :(. Today, i drove 100 miles each way to take my daughter to her summer camp, and I really wished I had the new songs to listen to, especially since I was alone in the car for the drive home!

Guest howyousawtheworld Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Returning to headline the Pyramid stage for a record breaking third time, Coldplay arrived at Glastonbury 2011 with a bang. Opening with ‘Hurts Like Heaven’ accompanied by a firework display, Coldplay stamped their authority on Worthy Farm and then decided to walk all over it with the emotional ‘Yellow’ and ‘In My Place’ following immediately. Continuing the theme of a “greatest hits” set, ‘Shiver’ and in my opinion the most beautiful song ever written – ‘The Scientist’ shone in a set jam-packed full of crowd-pleasers. The pounding ‘Violet Hill’ was well-received by the 100,000+ crowd who were already lighting flares and clambering onto their chums’ shoulders, and ‘Everything’s Not Lost’, their first performance of the track since 2005, went down equally well. Although on new song ‘Us Against The World’ Chris Martin “fucked up” (in his own words) and started a whole verse over, they still managed to pull it out of the bag and make a mistake sound promising. Not many bands can do that. Encouraging as much crowd interaction as possible, on a number of songs “it’s your turn” was shouted by Chris, who left a crowd chanting the chorus of ‘Viva La Vida’ for their encore. Returning for a final three songs, ‘Clocks’ was belted out by the band and the heartfelt ‘Fix You’ was note-perfect; the crowd sang louder than Chris. Closing on ‘Every Teardrop is a Waterfall’, a regular Pyramid Stage was turned into pulsating multicolour pyramid with various colours throbbing in the shape of a triangle, accompanied by fireworks to see the band out. Taking no less than three bows arm-in-arm, Chris Martin and co. walked off stage in the knowledge that they’d probably just performed the best set of their career. http://counteract-magazine.com/2011/06/25/glastonbury-2011-saturday-coldplay/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In essence, there were enough bad vibes to run a hoodoo factory, which completely ruined the whole experience for me. because X&Y was bad :nod: I'm very happy they included 4 parachutes songs and just 1 X&Y song (even if Fix You is not the best choice in musical terms, it's a very emotional song) I think you also saw a different show... bad vibes? really? :lol: It was great, probably a 10/10 show except for ETIAW which sucks. Hope they add Amsterdam to their shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleep Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 I'd call stopping the song to re-do a verse a 'fuck-up'.But it was a typical charming Coldplay fuck-up and everyone smiled and laughed!! I thought it was the most 'human' part of the whole gig,lol. :lol: Had to listen to the whole thing over...it was just THAT amazing!! :D Lol, well yeah. I meant what made him re-do the verse?

Pink Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Watch on TV and I thought it was a stellar performance. I know some think that Chris seemed stiff & nervous but I thought he was just toning down the goofiness. I don't need him rattling on about some craziness (as entertaining as that can sometimes be, I think it feeds the haters). He kept the jumping and trashing around at a respectable pace so that his voice didn't suffer. He only asked how everyone was doing 10 times instead of his usual 50. :P All in all, I think this venue is really important to them and they treated it as such. To me, they looked like a band that knew the world was watching and they had something to prove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopey Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Shouldn't Chris playing that acoustic guitar at the start of Charlie Brown, like he did on Rock AM Ring? Because I hear it, but he's not playing.

NumbersGirl Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Why isn't it happening next year?The organizers have a "break" every few years to allow the land to recover. Plus with the Olympics happening in London next year, the toilet/police resources will be strained already. If I remember correctly, the break was supposed to be this year but they decided to hold off one more year for those reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
