Tash Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 "It wasn't for the same reason either." makes sense. It's probably not for Su2C but for the DVD/film. That doesn't make sense. They used the same SU2C backgrounds pictures as in Stockholm, why would they want to use those for the DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterflygirl Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 ^This. In the pics you can see the SU2C images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu'kaa Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 They used the same SU2C backgrounds pictures as in Stockholm Yeah, and Chris talked a bit about the fact that it was for American TV and fighting cancer etc. Plus they played the shorter TV edit of the song.

TraceOddity Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 We just won't know til the show airs, and til the DVD is released, or shortly before since things have a way of getting out. That's ok. I like surprises.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like surprises.:) It was for Stand up to cancer, Chris said it. Maybe they just wanted to be able to choose between several performances, and they (Coldplay maybe) will pick the one they prefer for the show. That's my guess.

busybeeburns Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Coldplay @ Stade de France, Paris (02/09/2012) Source: http://hypermusic-aliveen.blogspot.fr/2012/09/coldplay-stade-de-france-paris-02092012.html Passing by the Stade de France Stadium with their tour, Coldplay delivered a concert that will remain forever etched in the annals, magnificent from the beginning to the end! The band's performance was there but it is mostly the atmosphere that broke records. Besides, on Twitter Phil Harvey, the fifth member of the band raved: "Paris - Loudest sexiest crowd of the whole tour. You're going to look so beautiful in the film. PH ». In fact, last night's concert was filmed for the creation of a DVD of the Mylo Xyloto Tour. We will thus be able to relive this wonderful evening very soon! Parallel to this, a Multicam DVD project made by fans is being prepared, do not hesitate to participate by submitting videos. Have a look on the Facebook page created for the occasion! While waiting for these DVDs, let's go back to this unforgettable evening with these few lines. Once again the opening act was Marina & The Diamonds. If you already have visited this blog, you probably know that this was not the first time I saw Marina. Her performance was a little bit different from those of Boston and Nice, including the presence of Hypocrates and Lies. Just after Roadie # 42 took the photos that will form the panoramic picture of the concert (each night a panorama of the public is made and posted on Coldplay's website) 99 Problems by Jay-Z has sounded in the Stade de France, full of people, heralding the arrival of the band on stage. All lights Off, Chris, Jonny, Will and Guy arrived and the stadium was immediately illuminated by the glowing wristbands given to the public. For the occasion, 160,000 Xylobands were distributed which means exceptionally two wristbands per person! Jason Regler, the inventor of these little wonders has to be proud because the depiction was breathtaking! From the beginning of the concert things accelerated. Hurts Like Heaven, In My Place, Lovers in Japan ... Between butterflies, confetti, balloons and Xylobands the beginning of the concert announced the tone! Just before Major Minus Chris Martin spoke in French to greet the audience « Nous sommes contents d’être ici avec vous, le meilleur public du monde » and then he continued in English « We’re gonna play the best fucking concert we’ve ever play in our lives… And I hope you can be the best audience in all time and have a great fucking time ». Some would say that he says the same thing every night but yesterday we could feel a hint of truth, and this was quickly confirmed. The atmosphere was amazing, everyone sang, jumped, clapped non-stop, it was nice to see! The biggest fans had doubts, the surprise yesterday was the exceptional presence of Rihanna who played Princess of China with the band. All dates together, it was the first time this happened. The atmosphere then reaches its climax, we barely could hear Rihanna sing so the audience was singing and screaming! I'm not a big fan of Rihanna but I loved it. So much better than when the song is performed with her on the big screens ! She was humble and discreet, almost shy to be the center of attention. We had a double dose as they performed the song twice! After an intimate Up In Flames in the center of the stadium, the pace accelerated. First Don't Let It Break Your Heart and Viva La Vida. Coldplaycorner (the website of the French Coldplay fans) had planned a flashmob but in front of the general enthusiasm of the crowd for Viva La Vida, it could not be done. It's not a big deal, the main thing was to set fire to the stadium and that's what the audience did! The Xylobands lighted up again on Charlie Brown and judging the reaction of the audience, this song is one of their favorites from Mylo Xyloto. Paradise also received a hero's welcome. But that night, I wonder what song did not triumph! As usual the band went to visit the spectators at the back of the stadium for Us Against The World and an acoustic version of Speed Of Sound. Back on the main stage they performed Clocks by making a nod to the new single of Muse, Madness. There are rumors about the presence of Matthew Bellamy and his wife, Kate Hudson in the Stade de France! As a fan of Muse (and Coldplay), I can only be delighted! After a masterful Fix You, Rihanna came back to sing an acoutic version of Umbrella with the band, helped by the audience who sang the chorus. Then Chris Martin explained their participation in a U.S. TV show to fight against cancer with Paradise. So in addition to a double dose of Princess Of China, we had a double dose of Paradise, that night we really reached paradise! For the purposes of the TV show they chose to film Paradise in Paris, although it seems they have already attempted in Stockholm a few days ago. The concert ended with Every Teardrop is A Waterfall which finished to set fire to the Stade de France! The stands have spent the concert standing, sign of the excellent atmosphere that evening. Chris Martin took a flag a fan was handing to him and wield it while the lyrics was: "So you can hurt, hurt me bad, but still I'll raise the flag." Long and mutual thanks between the band and the audience ensued and the band left the Stade de France's stage. Thus ended an evening that many agree to say magnificent and unforgettable. I am pleased to have been a part it and really proud to be a Coldplayer. Did you were there ? Leave us your feedback in the comments ! Throughout the evening Coldplay provided a liveblog on their Tumblr with photos, videos and animations. Feel free to have a look at it to make the concert lasts. As usual, you can find my videos on Youtube and my best photos on Photobucket. My next and last appointment with the band is on sept 22nd in Hanover, it will be difficult to beat the Stade de France! Expect less pictures as I wanna enjoy the show from the begining to the end since it will be the last one in a while. Here is the setlist: Back to the Future Theme Mylo Xyloto Hurts Like Heaven In My Place Major Minus Lovers in Japan The Scientist Yellow Violet Hill God Put a Smile Upon Your Face X-Stage : Princess of China with Rihanna Princess of China (Again) Up in Flames A Hopeful Transmission Don't Let It Break Your Heart Viva La Vida Charlie Brown Paradise C-Stage: Us Against the World Speed of Sound Encore 2: Clocks (with snippet of 'Madness' by Muse) Fix You Umbrella Acoustique (Piano) Paradise (Played again for a cancer charity) M.M.I.X. Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall (We heard the band rehearsaling 42 et Strawberry Swing but they weren't played) http://hypermusic-aliveen.blogspot.fr/2012/09/coldplay-stade-de-france-paris-02092012.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant we won't know what Debs might or might not be hiding. She's privy to a lot more info than The Oracle can share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medispolis Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I remember that Coldplay soundchecked White Shadows in August 2009 before their Hannover gig, but have never played it since then. I think we all overestimate the choice of songs during soundcheck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noémie Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yup. Guy is just Mr. 'Stand there and look sexy and detached' and as soon as Jonny picks up his guitar, he pretty much seems to zone out til the show's over.:lol: THIS :lol: Pretty much sums up everything! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californication Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I had a look at all the pictures posted (I saved a lot of them :D), thank you for posting them !!! I also read your reviews and I feel like we've been part of something unique and unforgettable. I have been to a lot of Coldplay shows and last night was beyond all of them. Not that the band's performance was the best I've ever seen but because of the incredible atmosphere, that was breathtaking througout the whole show !! People screamed, sang really loud, jumped... WOW !!! It's gonna be hard to beat this one. I'll be going to Hannover on Sept 22nd, they'd better get ready ! I'm not a big fan of Rihanna but I was so GLAD she was there !! Princess of China was epic, we could barely hear Rihanna singing from where I was ! We heard the band rehearsing Strawberry Swing and 42 and Rihanna rehearsing Run This Town, I would have loved to see Strawberry Swing and Run This Town ! Anyway, I'm glad we had Princess of China and Paradise twice !! :D I wrote a full review with pictures and videos on my blog if you want more of my feelings on the concert. It's available in English and French: -English: http://hypermusic-aliveen.blogspot.fr/2012/09/coldplay-stade-de-france-paris-02092012.html -French: http://hypermusic-alive.blogspot.com/2012/09/coldplay-paris-stade-de-france-02092012.html I think you've already posted my videos so I'm just gonna share with you some of my best pictures. I am SO happy and proud of them !!! This weekend I took some time to read some tutorials in order to learn about how to take pictures during concerts and how to parametrize my camera and the result is beyond my expectations !! So here they are: I love Will's face on that one, ahah !!

Eve81 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Thanks you all for your reviews and pics!!! I didn't take a lot of pics yesterday (I prefered to enjoy the show) but I can share with you 2 pics: Back on the main stage they performed Clocks by making a nod to the new single of Muse, Madness. Are we sure that he really sang Madness? After a masterful Fix You, Rihanna came back to sing an acoutic version of Umbrella with the band, helped by the audience who sang the chorus. I don't like Rihanna but I have to confess that she has a beautiful voice and the version of Umbrella yesterday was so wonderful ! Leave us your feedback in the comments ! It was my best Coldplay gig!!! I can't describe how I feel, it was... WOW!!! My next and last appointment with the band is on sept 22nd in Hanover, it will be difficult to beat the Stade de France! Maybe I'll see you there ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdplayerForever Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I think she killed it!!!!! And her outfit is a complete opposite of Coldplay's theme...but somehow it works perfectly. Awesome performance!!! I Can't Stand Her,But I Will Never Criticize Coldplay,They Know What They Are Doing,I Just Wish It Had Been Someone Who Doesn't Have To Undress To Sell Records.ALICIA KEYS Would Have Been Good,Although POC On The Album Is Very Good.

Eve81 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Does anyone have a pic of Will with an exploded ballon on his head during Speed of Sound? It took only few seconds but it was so funny and Guy and Jonny was laughing all the song after that! Btw, at the end of Up In Flames, Will complained about something but I didn't heard anything...
