When I was reading our local newspaper this morning, I stumbled upon an article about Coldplay. Apparently they asked a local photographer who was shooting pictures at Pinkpop if they could use 2 of his pictures for an official tour book which would be released after the festival gigs. Have they ever done this before?

 

I won't bother to translate more of the article, it's basically just some talking about photography.

 

Scan:

 

 

There were plenty of hints of a Viva tour DVD, that never happened.

 

Would wait and see.

Nice pic

I read the article. They should make more pics of the other members. It's as if Coldplay equals Chris Martin. Very, very nice pic though.

:lol: That picture is one of my desktop backgrounds (changes every ten minutes).

Thanks, I read on twitter about this article, but couldn't find it.

 

Pretty amazing if you take a picture like that. (And pretty amazing to be standing that close to the stage...)

:wacko: Cool picture!

 

And it would be nice to have a tour booklet, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see :rolleyes:

I think the professional photographers have access to the front stage, that's why he's so close. At smaller concerts of smaller bands at smaller venues/festivals where you can easily get to the first rows, you can see the photographers crawling over each other maniacally taking pictures during the first songs. But I remember one photographer in the middle of the crowd during Kaiser Chiefs two years ago at Werchter. It was funny.

I think what they sometimes call a "tour book" is just what we call a "programme" available at the gigs when they tour.
