Had a great but with one negative point.

We had seats but I was standing during HLH and Yellow. After Yellow the man behind me asked if I would stand the whole concert. I said Yes. So I did but during In My Place he took my shoulder and said pretty aggresive that he was angry of me standing. So I stayed standing but than he beat me on my head (softly). So I was really angry until the end of Major MInus. As of GPASUYF the whole crowd was standing and we laughed in the man's face.

 

I'm still really angry about it. I didn't enjoy the first three songs. And that are three of my favourites. Hope that that loser will never see coldplay again, he doesn't deserves it.

They asked us to come and help activate the Xylobands. We finished quickly so we sat in the venue the whole time, and we could clearly hear them soundcheck.

Urgh, afwul story. I have to say, typical Belgian mentality really. In public, they don't know emotions like bliss, or sadness. Anyways, don't let it get to you, they all vote NVA anyways :P

It was more a Vlaams Belang-guy. NVA-people are ok, there are just too much of them to hate them all.

 

Great btw he kissed the ground in the end.

I really hoped they would come back to play CL after ETIAW, because it took a while until the lights went on... but it was nothing...

Yeah I hope that too. I kept clapping because I thought they might've come on again, but they didn't . BASTARDS !!

 

I didn't even notice him kissing the stage :p

How did Don't Let It Break Your Heart Sound? Something to see forward too?

Review kinda story kinda thing will be for tomorrow. I might just leave you with a little teaser: 475649996.jpg

 

Oh and before you ask, nooo I didn't meet the band.

It actually sounded almost exactly like the album version :p But less choatic. And they always seemed to practice it with A Hopeful Transmission on tape as intro.

I am so jealous right now.. I would kill glasses to hear LIJ or DLIBYH! Been listening to sad Coldplay songs with rain in the background thanks to you:cry:

 

Haha nah, not because of that but really try this with any slow Coldplay song:

To perhaps, ease the pain, they didn't do Lovers in Japan completely. Just the first verse and chorus

I've been on that site a lot lately. I bet it would sound awesome with "Prospekt's March", actually.

Well that's still more then nothing:P

Why are they soundchecking songs they don't play yet? To make me cry?:cry::P

Ah well, the album version or the Goffertpark 2009 version has to do the trick then.

I've had it on for at least 3 hours now and I don't wanna turn it off while I'm so so sleepy.

Would love to have it as an mp3.

 

And you are so so right.. Prospekt's March <3

Perhaps they just wanted to soundcheck songs they didn't play to keep it interesting? I bet they never soundcheck with Yellow :P

Would I get killed if I would prefer LIJ or DLIBYH over Yellow?:curtain:

 

 

 

Edit: Ooooh LIJ acoustic version with rain <3

I'm a fan of freedom of speech/opinions, so I won't be the one doing it :p

 

Would you kill me if I say that I don't like DLIBYH :(

I had it on for an hour while browsing the internet and it pained me to close the tab. I need to do that tonight.

 

About Yellow: I just hate how sped-up it sounds nowadays. I fell in love with Yellow again recently.

Would you kill me if I say that I don't like DLIBYH :(

I would totally kill you very slowly by playing DLIBYH over and over and over:sneaky:

Haha, I wouldn't be able to ever kill a person over something and especially not over something that contains music.

 

Have to face my little bro every single day with his rap/R&B/hardcore/techno stuff in most cases I find extremely shit:P

 

 

Edit: It pains me to close the tab as well. It's 1:42am here, this is gonna hurt in 6 hours..

I'm listening to The Scientist with it right now! It fits in a very beautiful way!! :wacky:

It fits to nearly everything.. Currently listening to Amsterdam. Slow part is so nice with this. But after this one I really really really have to go get sleep.

 

Enjoy the rain and goodnight:)

Since I posted some pro pictures, here are some of mine, which obviously aren't pro :P :

WHY do they always soundcheck songs that they don't play? :cry:

First they soundcheck Swallowed in the Sea in Glasgow, now LIJ and DLIBYH too?? They are trying to kill off their fans. :(

Back from this concert!

 

So, as already said, i thought it was really short! shorter than as usual! Chris was less in the mood than other times according to me (less jumps, less talks, no jokes at all,...)

Anyway, I really appreciated the dedication of Us against the world to the 6 killed people and 125 injured, to the family and friends affected by this drama a few days ago...

 

I was seating in the side, first line near the backstage and in front of the stairs to go to the stage, so I could see some interesting things:

-During the Pre show song from Jay-Z I clearly saw the 4 guys arriving alone, one by one and entering in a 3mX3m curtained room behind the stage for the last 4 minutes. Probably for the pre-gig hug.

-I'm also pretty sure, one or more of the guys had family with them tonight. Tomorrow they have a day off so it would make sense. Just before the start some people (7-8 in total) arrived from the backstage with 3 kids (2 youngest were in arms and the oldest (a blond girl) was by foot and they were wearing big colored ear-protections). Security brought them to reserved seats. I'm absolutely not interested in people so I can't say if Gwyneth was there ;-) (but there was a tall blond woman). Kids were between 3 and 7 years old more or less, (at least 2 girls, within a blond,...)

-Just before the encore, the oldest girl went to the curtained room behind the stage to wait and meet his dad! So cute! The 2 youngest left during the encore. They were asleep in the arms of some adults :-)
