The show was brilliant. It was my third time, but this one was so great. Ahoy is a great place, the crowd was fantastic. I was about two meters away from the X-stage. I can't describe the feelings I had during MX, with those glowing wristbands. Absolutely amazing, the boys were doing so well and they were so excited. Chris said some really lovely words to us Dutch people, and the setlist was great! Chris played White Christmas just before Fix You, lovely!

morning Y'all!

 

It was an amazing gig last night! but the sound sucked! it was farrrr too loud, my ears are still ringing! anyone else?

 

anyway we arrived at about 2:30, there were a bunch of people waiting (i;m guessing 75-100), and I knew Tash and a few other people were inside already. I send my BF out for some food, and pretty soon they closed the line behind us. even though it was still rather quiet, but Hey I'm not complaning!

 

the guys behind us ordered pizza, best idea ever! They we're behind me at the pinkpop gig as well.

 

So it rained just a little but luckily we didn't get soaked, but we started freezing our butts off! finally the doors opened, at 18:40 ish. it's only cause I knew we were getting wrist bands, and I waited for the guy to hand them to me, seriously they give you one job :facepalm:

 

Tash said they'd be stage left, and try to save me a spot, we found them quite easily, and there was plenty of space :heart: :hug: tnx tash! so I ended up second row, but when the coldplays started i was more frontrow not bad for someone showing up that late!

 

it was good to see all the friendly faces! the show was absolutely amazing, full of energy, and chris was just lovely, whishing everyone happy holidays etc, and the crowd was amazing too, though you could barely hear them over the extreme noise, seriously tune it down, this is not a festival, and the Mylo Xyloto stuff has a lot of extra sound which really almost overwhelms chris' singing, his mic was so loud the sound broke up and still couldn;t get over the huge wall of sound, esp during paradise! I swear it's only because I knew what the lyrics are, cause I don't think I could tell otherwise, such a shame :(

 

like I said the crowd was full of energy, and we're extremly loud during us against the world, which made them laugh and start over :nice:

 

and the wrist bands! WOW they look so amazing! what a great idea! I enjoyed the new tracks as much as I loved the old ones, it may sound lame but I did. I was really hoping for christmas lights, but they didn't play it, which I really don't understand, you have your own christmas hit, but don't play it :S I guess it some kind of modesty thing, or what ever.. but it didn't ruin the show in any way, it's really cute chris plays white christmas though :heart: well I guess that about rounds it up, for I second I thought they'd come back after ETIAW, but nope, roadies were on and that was the end of it. Tash ended up getting Johnny's setlist, and another girl got a handwritten note that said forleiches Kerstfeest which looked more german to me but it means happy christmas, and I guess it's chris' way of pronouncing it the dutch way, but I don't think he used it.

 

I got a setlist from the techbooth :nice: we had a quick peek at the backstage entrance where We met Chris last time they were here, but it was actually snowing/ raining and we didn't see any vans waiting so we called it an evening.. but a really good one!

 

here's some vids:

aaaah it was so perfect! It so was the best concert I've ever been to in my life. I really loved all the special effects, I've never seen anything like that. And The band was just great, I really liked the setlist. Though I'd love to hear Trouble and Christmas Lights... But overall it was great!

OMG! It was so amazing! We had front row places at the B-stage, so when the guys played Up In Flames and Us Against The World the distance was only one meter! I will post my review later and add some more pics an vids I shot. Still flabbergasted.

 

A few of my pics:

Hi Carla,

 

sound was loud indeed, but at the 1st balcony it sounded perfect (listen to my vids) .. maybe they should turn down the center speakers @ the stage.

 

Oh well .. on to the next one!

 

Menno

Hahaha, yes two guys in front of me were waving too :laugh3:

 

Spontanious waving, I like!:laugh3:

Gosh, I really enjoyed the show. It was nice to have seats for once, since you have an overview of everything. The people around me were so nice and sweet to let me stand during the whole show:D

And the lights oh the lights, were absolutely amazing!

Were you the one who had something red on her legs? :D

 

I also saw some people in the crowd who were waving randomly :lol:

Yes, I could see everything! I stand the whole show too, and first I forgot that there were people behind me who couldn't see anything when I stand haha:P But after a few minutes everybody was standing! (:
