November 27, 201114 yr It's SUCH a shame that Oxegen wasn't broadcasted, because out of everything festival-sized I've seen them do this year, that takes the cake. I'm biased because I was there, of course, but I've seen them 14 times and that was the best they've ever performed for me. I heard T the day before was great as well, but I haven't watched it myself so I feel like I can't vote for it. I think my other favorites were Lolla, Rio, and Rock Am Ring because that was the first time we'd heard any of the new songs outside of ETIAW. I think I'm going to go for Lolla.

Oxegen is my third-favorite performance of them ever (behind Toronto '06 and the Live 2003 DVD). And that's saying a lot since I've hunted down 95% of their performances (that have been broadcast) and either watched or listened to them. But since that isn't an option :P I'm going with either Rio or Glasto

But since that isn't an option :P I'm going with either Rio or Glasto Whoo! I'm not that biased! :dance: I will forever be bitter that they didn't broadcast it, though. I honestly have never heard them sound that good before or since. As live acts go, I feel like Coldplay are pretty consistent, sometimes maddeningly so, but Oxegen was above and beyond everything else I've heard them do.
November 28, 201114 yr Sounds like those of us that weren't there missed out then :( This is a hard poll.. like ApproximatelyInfinite said, they seem so consistent to me in all their shows! If I had to choose... I'd say Glastonbury, because I'm sure they put a little something more into it if the festival was that special to them.
November 28, 201114 yr Well, I had to vote Werchter, but simply because I was there and I was even more mind blown than when I watched Glasto the week before on tv. But I guess that's something actually being there does to you. Of the festival shows I (re-)watched Glasto, Rio and Rock Am Ring were pretty amazing too.
November 28, 201114 yr Lollapalooza. I'm a bit biased though since I was there LOL. It was hands down the best Coldplay show I have witnessed in person and the crowd was fantastic :D
December 1, 201114 yr Rock Werchter, because I was there and I'm biased. The reason Glasto is 1st in the poll is probably because most people are biased too. Rio was objectively the best crowd I'd say, Rock Am Ring was overwhelming because it was new, and Glasto through Werchter had the best setlist.
December 2, 201114 yr Austin City Limits!!!! But probably mostly cuz i was in the front row! It was soooo amazing!!:lol:
December 3, 201114 yr I think out of all the performances listed I would have loved to have experienced Rock In Rio most. The Brazilians are probably the most passionate bunch of people in the world. It's unbelievable how you could hear them singing Paradise even when it had only been out for a couple of weeks. Incredible! Puts other nations to shame!

I'm sure that you feel our energy on your bones and will love to make part of the passionate people too :lol:
