I'm so happy, last night was so amazing, and on top of that, I got Chris' towel!!!!!:D:D:D:D I'm going to frame it with alle the confetti I got and one of the Xylobands:D

 

:awesome: With his DNA you could try to create your own Chris clone :sneaky: :lol:

Happy you guys had such a good time. Thanks for all your stories/reviews/pictures/videos everyone, love them all!

 

42JTR, what does your towel smell like? :P

 

I'm a little late but my post is gonna be huge... I know no one's gonna read the entire thing, but I have to share it, I'm sorry.

 

 

 

Well Lovers, I had floor tickets, so had to queue for a good spot. ;) Seats are a huge advantage in this weather and I'm glad you had a good view too!

 

We (me+friend+parents) arrived at 3.30pm and were the first in the second box thing. Kudos to everyone who got there earlier, it was sooo cold.... So my friend and I went to the nearby shopping centre to get some booze to heat us up. And, that got us in an even better mood. :nice:

I also saw someone ordering pizza R23 and jack, it wasn't us!

Suddenly, our box joined the first one, because there was some free room there (human herd behaviour). That too helped keeping us from freezing our asses off. It then started to rain, but still, I actually enjoyed the wait.

 

Finally the doors opened and we ran. We got pretty close to the stage, one (unenthusiastic, grumpy, generally annoying) person between us and the middle of the catwalk, on the right side. My dad got separated from us in the chaos and we didn't see him again until after the show. I was a bit bummed by that, partly because Violet Hill is kind of 'our' song. Thankfully I had my sweet mum and my great friend with me.

Edit: My dad said he saw our faces on the screen during Yellow...

 

Oh, I forgot to wave at 19.40 Lovers & Ilovechriss, so I did it at 19.50. Did you see me? :P

We should make it a tradition, random waving at Coldplay shows.

 

Really enjoyed watching Emili Sandé, she's such a good singer and her music is beautiful. After that, we got our friggin awesome glowsticks out, which I put through my earrings. We also had glow-in-the-dark make-up, but that didn't work out too well. :dozey:

Then the change over, saw a couple of familiar roadie faces (some of which were Hopping) and finally... Coldplay.

 

I kept away from reading setlists over the past few weeks, but as soon as 99 Problems started I felt it wasn't going to be much different from the festivals. Of course there were a few changes, like Paradise and Up In Flames, but I was hoping for some more, like Don't Panic and What If... (Edit: Oh god, just read that they played Daylight in Glasgow and Manchester. WANT.) Come to think of it, I think most of all I missed something 'old' on the B-stage.

However last night, I did not mind. I also prefer songs over confetti and light effects (although they are absolutely stunning) and looking back, I missed a lot of my favourites, but yesterday I was on Planet Coldplay where there's no problems at all (let alone 99). I mean that in the most positive way possible, because during Pinkpop for example, I stayed on planet Earth.

 

As soon as they came on stage and the wristbands lit up, I er, well, basically... started crying. I feel like such a fangirl, but the last six months have been very difficult for me, and Coldplay might be the main thing that keeps me going, so I think that's a good excuse. ;)

Their shitload of confetti was really cool, I could barely see Chris and Jonny during IMP, while we were only a few feet away (Chris has such nice ARMS). I also touched their balls again and they felt nice and soft. :P

 

I read someone saying the crowd was lame, are you serious? Thankfully I saw most people disagreeing. Like you guys said, during UATW they started laughing and had to stop because of our massive cheering. Actually, at times I couldn't hear Chris at all because of everyone singing along. Dutch crowds can be really tough and boring, but this one was awesome.

Lost my voice from screaming myself, and I'm sorry for people standing near me.

 

Oh, I swear Guy smiled at me while waiting to join in on Up In Flames. Jonny's smile was more shy, but Guy was just being flirty with us. :wink3:

 

Basically, I adored every single song and time flew by. When they went off after Paradise, it felt like they had only played for ten minutes.

Then they came back for Clocks and Fix You (more tears), and I loved White Christmas.

And, Christmas Lights was on the setlist? Aargh, why the hell didn't they play it?!

But hey, we got Teardrop. :| But like I said, at the time I didn't really care, while usually I'm not so Easy To Please.

It was just such a great, great show.

 

When the band had gone off, a girl standing directly in front of me fainted. I don't know if she's on here, but I do know how she felt and I hope she's ok. 'Good' thing that it happened after the show.

 

And Chris kissed the stage? Totally missed that! Probably due to more tears. All happy ones, by the way.

 

After the show we had a beer, and close to the exit I think I saw Hoppy with crutches and a helmet, talking to three other men. Not 100% it was him though.

 

We got home by 2.30am, tired and stiff, but totally happy.

 

 

 

Long story short: this was the best thing I've ever been to (seen them four times now). Might have been because of the 'small' venue, because of my mood, because of the crowd, the wristbands, or just the band getting better and better, or all these things.

What a night, what a crowd, what a BAND ♥.

 

Apologies for the hugeness of my post, I'm way too excited and way too tired.

 

Thanks to all great people there, we made it a big party and I think the band loved it.

 

I don't have any pics to post, my dad kept my camera in his pocket, so...

 

Btw, did you see Chris tweeting that picture around 7pm? That's very close to the entrance... If he took it himself, someone must have seen him. Tall, white male, great eyes, probably wearing some sort of hooded top... ;)

:awesome: With his DNA you could try to create your own Chris clone :sneaky: :lol:

 

Haha I might even try that! :laugh3::laugh3:

42JTR, what does your towel smell like? :P

 

I can't really describe it, it smells used I think:P

You got the limited special edition:laugh3:

My copy does have MYLOXYLOTO on it in silver and also the symbols of the albumtitles on the side.

 

lol, :o

I dont mind really, it's nice this way, more simple with just the graffiti, but I find it so strange.

Last video for now :rolleyes:

 

 

Whaaaaat? I totally missed the running man visuals (the screens were behind my back).

I almost feel like crying when I look back to yesterday... What. A. Night! :)

 

Edit: Not because I'm sad! Not at all..

:awesome: With his DNA you could try to create your own Chris clone :sneaky: :lol:

 

:laugh3:

His own? For sure, he'll share Clone Chris, won't you 42?

Oh well, that's... nice. :lol:

Me too. And we're not weird at all. :P

Thank you for all your great reviews and photos and videos, it made me feel like I was there. Blue Nails I read all of yours! It's great when you just write it all out! The feelings really come over. It sounds like a perfect concert for most of you, set list not withstanding.

 

It's only intensified my desire to get up the front for the next one.. ! :)

:laugh3:

His own? For sure, he'll share Clone Chris, won't you 42? :P

 

 

 

Oh well, that's... nice. :lol:

We better make 100 clones or something. Else we all have to share one clone:sneaky:

 

And smelling a used towel?! Now that's something I kinda don't wanna do:P

 

And Blue Nails, I saw so many people wave that it could be that I saw you! Ilovechriss and I waved at each other around 19:45:lol:

I waved to people quite a few times, which was fun. We should make it a tradition indeed =D

:laugh3:

Blue Nails, if you didn't have seats, I might have seen you waving! (:

hope Tash won't mind.

 

I don't mind at all! :kiss:

 

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!

 

I promised to save you a spot so I did. It was so nice seeing you again! :hug:

 

Ok, I suck at writing reviews so I'm not writing one :lol:

I just want to say that the crowd was fricking amazing! I had a wonderful evening and I'm very happy I have Jonny's setlist and loads of confetti :nice:

 

I saw them three times in nine days :awesome: and now I have to wait until June :(

here ya go ;)
