15:43: Hello! Yes, we begin a second day of live photoblogging, ahead of Coldplay's show in Norwich tonight. We'll start with a picture taken at last night's in Madrid which we didn't post yet. This shows the band coming off stage after Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall provided a mighty climax to a thrilling show.

 

15:50: Off to the venue now (we had a few hours in a hotel) - lots more pics when we get there. Until then, catch up on last night's show here.

Woo, photoblog!

I hope this one will be more "F5 abused" than the one last night! Coldplayersssss???

I'm on board!

Yay for another photoblog!

A big boo for me not being able to come online later tonight :(

I'm here:)

16.50: Sorry, that journey took a little longer than expected (seems we hit Norwich rush hour), so the band went straight into soundcheck. Here's a photo - taken almost from the back of the UEA, which gives you an idea of how big it is (1,500 capacity).

 

Wow, looks so small to put 1500 people in there.

Must be amazing to be part of this event!

16:52: Here's tonight's dressing room - which, according to the band, is the very same room they had as their dressing room (sharing with Campag Velocet) when they played the UEA on 29 January 2000 as part of the NME tour, which they opened.

 

16.55: And here's the setlist from that night in January 2000 - according to Songkick:

 

1. Don't Panic

2. Shiver

3. Spies

4. Sparks

5. Yellow

6. Trouble

7. Parachutes

8. High Speed

9. We Never Change

10. Everything's Not Lost

11. Help Is Around The Corner

16.57: Those who have gone before...

 

17.00 Exactly three hours until stage time. And here's a photo of Chris chatting to Radio 1 DJ Fearne Cotton at the Live Lounge recording in a UEA student bar earlier. There are more photos from that available at Radio 1's site here.

 

17.10: Here's another couple of photos from the Live Lounge performance - where Coldplay played Hurts Like Heaven, a terrific cover of Rihanna's We Found Love and Paradise. You can listen on-demand to all that at Radio 1's website by clicking here - just after 2 hours in.

 

 

17.19: Thanks to Darren who's just emailed [email protected] with a link to this amazing picture of five Coldplay fans in the queue outside, dressed as elephants. Amazing effort!

17.30: Coldplay's radio plugger Kev doesn't always dress like this...

 

17.37: Chris is in the dressing room, having some dinner and doing an interview with some student journalists from the university which houses tonight's venue. They're asking some good questions, too. He's currently explaining to them why Coldplay love Glastonbury Festival so much ("It's all the positive things of life").

 

Lucky bastards!!!! :P

Why didn't they move the flowers? Or take the photo from another angel?
