Tamuna I don't know, is a rare concert ... I see the fans, who bought the tickets in the presale we are all in the same place (tendido 9 or standing). In Spain there is nothing said about the concert, only on forums, I guess press up writing something from tomorrow. On the other hand I wonder if they're going to a live show ...:thinking:

Hello again, people!

 

For those of you who are wondering about the queueing time - Wednesday it's a normal day in Spain, everyone has jobs or classes so I am not expecting a massive queue before 2 or 3 PM (lunch time, when everyone is going to join the queue I think). I am aiming for first row in the field and I'm arriving there around 8 AM, so it should be fine. I will carry just the neccesary, an umbrella, a few cushions and my guitar. I can leave it all later in my mum's job so :)

 

Regarding other people joining the queue later... Well, that's a normal thing in most concerts. I have done it plenty of times, I am keen to queue for two days for bands like U2, Muse or COldplay, but my friends aren't; that's why I usually join the queue on my own and then they join me too. The ONLY thing you have to do is to warn the people queing besides you, both in front and behind you. I mean, if you're number 45 in the queue, you should warn numbers 44 and 46 that two or three friends of yours will arrive later in the day. If you're friendly enough you'll have no problem. That sais, you should expect a few reprobatory looks from the rest of the queue :P

By the way, I'm thinking of making a sign asking for a song, obviously chosen out of my favorites. Which one do you think has more chances to be noticed (and potentially played) by them/Chris?

 

-Amsterdam (♥)

-Trouble

-Speed Of Sound

-Shiver (♥)

i give vote for Trouble :) i know there will be some people who will ask for that song in Bercy!

I really hope they play most if not all of the songs on MX :)

Yea, its world premiere of MX so i think they might play most of the songs of it, but we can expect yellow for istance, just some classics :)

 

And i cant wait!! these songs live are so cooooooooooooooool :elephant:

Can anyone record the stream? I won't be able to watch it live nor will I have any time to watch the rerun/on-demand. :cry:

i'd love to listen to amsterdam live!I'm not sure about the setlist though...obviously the'll play a lot of MX stuff, but I hope there will be room for something else as well!

I really hope they play most if not all of the songs on MX :)

 

Me too, although some of the oldies (Politik :dazzled:, Trouble) can't hurt anyone :D, and Moving to mars (I love it).

do you think that's possible guys? I will love to start queueing by midday and tell my friend to join me later since he's not so keen on waiting for hours, but, will he be able to join me in the queue later on?it worked for me some time ago, but the venue was half the size of Las Ventas and the band was not so massive back then...

 

btw,I'll wear my Life in Technicolor shirt if weather allows!if you want we can exchange phone numbers to meet up for queueing!

 

I don't know (but if it's for only one person , I think there wont be any problem), finally I'm not going to save any seat, we are all going to arrive near 16.

 

I hope we can meet, I can speak English (not perfect but enough to talk), or spanish (perfect :P).

Man, what a bummer...

You can always use a proxy (if you know how to set up one) or Expat Shield (google it if you don't know what it is). Both methods can temporally fake your IPs. Using a proxy, Youtube thinks you're in -let's say- United States, or Brazil (depends on where the proxy is settled). Expat Shield automatically makes you appear like being in the United Kingdom. It works for sure (and like a charm) because I use it to watch BBC1 and BBC·HD online.

I've been checking the forecast... seems like it changes every five minutes!

 

I guess we won't really know until the night of...

 

So does anyone have any suggestions for a meet up place after the concert?

 

Jason

There's a Coldplay-themed after-show party at Independance Club (17, Santa Engracia street). It's one of my favorite discos in Madrid, I highly recommend it. By subway, you can reach there within 10-15 minutes from the Las Ventas bullring.

 

Other than that, I don't know. Most bars and pubs near Las Ventas will be closed after the show finishes...

How late are the subways running till at night? Is it easy to catch cabs at night?

 

Jason
