Recommended Posts

Just got back from Rotterdam , what an amazing show.. best one I've been to !! The audience whent absolutely wild and the Guys were loving it.. at one point during Us against the world , they had to stop playing because the crowd was so loud, you couldn't hear the music anymore !! + Chris did 'I'm dreaming of a White Christmas' , phenomenal ! The Xylobands are the most beautifull live effect ever by the way. Coldplay , u did it again

well,it seems people are more happy with a big show and effects than some more songs...:(

 

Well, i thought about that ... last few weeks when i saw the setlists ofcourse I was sort of bummed that there were no additions . But its kindof impossible not to be over-excited after such a show, so don't blame people for that . It's the difficult thing about colplday , all of their songs are good , you can't really not like a live performance...

Coldplay played awesome and the crowd was even insane!

Unfortunately, no Christmas Lights but White Christmas...

:rolleyes:Loved the show, it was superb! How they can make you believe you are in one room with them, only to sing for you, awesome! And they were genuine in their thanks to the crowd. I sat second ring, and my mate and I didn't want to spoil the view of the people behind me, so we stayed seated. But I (lap)danced on my chair! They really rocked the place. Politics was great. Of course Charlie Brown, IMP and GPASOYF!!! All of it! Only missed Christmass Lights. But then, it was f..ng perfect, to the ear, to the eye an to my heart!!

I thought the crowd yesterday was amazing. It reminded me of images I have seen of a Beatles concert in the Netherlands, with all those screaming girls. My ears are still ringing.

 

What coldplay does, they do great. Great energy, great sound, great to see.

However, I'm really disappointed with the fact that they only played for 85 minutes, same as at the festivals. The set list hasn't really made any significant change since the festivals, apart from Paradise being played instead of Life is for living. They never add songs, they change songs.

And what I really don't understand is that they haven't played Christmas Lights. If not now...., when.

Brilliant show, when those glowbands went on the reaction was Woooowww, 2 bad me and my 3 friends didnt get any.. :( I saw so many people with 1 on each wrist... why?..

Loved the scientist and Us against the world :), Chris' brilliant moves! I hope that they will make this tour longer, it was too short, I already knew but I can imagen you'd be dissapointed if you expected at least a 2 hour show.

Got back earlier, the show was absolutely amazing!

We got there and ended up in the rain for a while, saw a New York Pizza arrive at the other Ahoy building which made me hungry :P We got inside quickly once door's opened and we went straight to the Merch Stand and I got a Tour Book and a Shirt :D I managed to pick up 6 wristbands throughout the whole evening, but that's not because I kept asking for them - everytime I went to get food or drink from the Unox area they kept giving them to me! My neighbour had 2 and I wore 4 for the whole night, got lots of confused stares haha :P

 

Emeli Sande was alright but her voice was getting annoying so it was a relief when the Professor Green joined her, that song and the last were the 2 best ones she did.

 

Then it was another long wait, which wasn't pleasant where we sat (Gb, right in the top corner). Back to the Future theme came on, and then the party started :D The whole concert was absolutely amazing! My Highlights were for sure GPASUYF, HLH, Viva, Charlie Brown, Politik, Paradise, Fix You and ETIAW but all in all everything was a highlight.

 

Once Paradise finished, me and my neighbour legged it and ran down to the first ring and watched the encore from there! It was amazing!

 

We left satisfied and headed for the stage door where the security briefly let me in, but then crew were turning up with equipment and I left :/

 

I loved last night so much! Can't wait to see the videos I filmed when I get them from my neighbour :D I'll show everyone here!

We were there as well (first ring row 12 :D:D), was our 2nd Coldplay concert (1st was Hannover 2008/9?).

 

The Xylobands were cool, really added to the overall experience ha! (now to see how we can activate them ourselves).

 

The crowd was amazing.. hope i added some, i known almost all lyrics and didn't hesitate to sing it all out loud :laugh3::laugh3: ..

 

At one time Chis sayed .. :

 

It would be great if you could give a good cheer when any of the guys come up and play .. as we all need some appreciation sometimes.

Then after singing the first piece of Us against the world, Will starts to sing and the crowd went wild .. SO wild that you could see Will smiling and stopping couse he couldn't hear himself OR Chris .. it was funny.

 

Did anyone hear the F bomb diring Violet hill? .. :P:D

 

Here is the Intro :

I'll upload some video's, one is the intro .. other one is Chris singing Have yourself a merry little christmas (sorry .. not full length .. took a while to start camera :rolleyes:)

AND.. i thought it would be absolulely USELESS for me to film whole songs, bcause there is already lots of footage available (complete live shows, Glastonbury, Madrid etc) .. i liked watching and enjoying this live and not behind a (phone) screen!

 

Cheers!

Hahaha, after a few minutes of singing/jumping/clapping/screaming I couldn't hear myself anymore; the singing must have sounded awful haha! :laugh3:

 

The crowd was amazing.... The screaming when Will came was, wow! :D
