[Jenjie]

before Coldplay, Marina and the Diamonds the Welsh songstress and her band did a great job to warm the audience up for the Coldplay show. Coldplay came on at 21:00 to an expectant audience and they did not disappoint. I saw Coldplay at the heineken open’er last year and that was a great show but the difference last night was that this was ‘their’ show and so all the light show and effects were exactly as they wanted them. That included the wristbands distributed on entrance which lit up in an orgy of flashing colourful lights once the music started. They were controlled by radio signals and came of and on according to certain musical cues.

 

Chris Martin immediately set to work on creating a raport with the audience and threw in ‘dziękuję’ and ‘dzięki’ (thank you and thanks in Polish) which delighted fans. The set was well thought out and a really flowing show starting with the sound of Mylo Xyloto. Chris Martin was full of energy, at times running along the T-shape extended cat-walk. So much so that within a few songs he was dripping beads of sweat onto the piano during “the scientist”. Photos from the gig

 

Apart from the flashing wrist-bands there was confetti projected into the audience from around three cannons and at various points huge balloons and inflatables were released into the audience. I’m not sure if the small yellow balloons were not the idea of the fans because Chris Marting commented after “Yellow” – ‘I like the balloons’.

 

A really great touch was the fact that at the ‘end’ the group left the stage with the audience roaring for more and then appeared in the middle of the fans on the pitch on a small stage to play “Us Against The World” and “Speed of Sound”.

 

The only complaint is the acoustics of the stadium which from our position was such an issue that at times it was difficult to hear the words (and in Coldplay’s set the words are pretty important). Maybe the sound is good if you are on the floor in front of the stage but the main issue is the echo from the back of the stadium which seems to affect those in the seats in the middle of the stadium at each side. The options are to either put baffle boards hanging from the roof to soak up that sound or (and I suspect this is the more practical solution short-term) find out if the floor area is better and go there. I’d be interested to get comments on this.

 

Acoustics aside, (that was nothing to do with Coldplay) I would recommend going to a Coldplay concert because of the sheer professionalism of the show – the atmosphere, the music and affinity of the band with fans.

Sorry for bringing this back up, but it's lovely to see that the intros for Flx You and Yellow both have names... I've loved the new intros ever since I heard them on the radio stream of the Emirates gig :D

[The Champion]

So here it goes as promised.

 

We arrived around 9 am and hang around the stadium but you don't want to read that so I'll focus on the concert.

 

Charli was quite good but Marina was really great. She did a wonderful job warming up the audience and her performance was energetic and pleasant. I loved how she said something like "Coldplay is in the dressing room right now so let's welcome them shouting as loud as you can". I understand now why they choosed her to be a support cause she really fits the job.

As to Coldplay...

Every song was perfect.

During the previous gig I was more like hm... emotional and moved but this time I was just having fun and the Xylotour really gave me the best one of my life.

Plus all those effects they used...

I loved the fireworks and the confetti. The second one was of course during LiJ and IMP. I've seen many of those concerts when/where they use the confetti but it never looked as astonishing as then. It was literally everywhere. EVERYWHERE. Some even said they had it their mouth so they couldn't sing, lol. It's something you have to see with your own eyes. One of the most beautiful things I've ever experienced. It was like a huge, bright rain full of colours and joy. What could equal that were of course the xylobands. I was in the first row so I was surprised when I turned around and saw the whole stadium glowing. What an epic idea, it's undescribable.

I was more on the Jonny side. I'm even like 95% sure that he winked to me and my friend. Then he smiled when we were shouting "Jonnyyyyyyyyyyy!!!". Then there was something with Guy or Chris, but I don't remember that well. No Will action, tough.

PoC was great live. I know some people hate it but this song was one of the most powerful. I greatly enjoyed it. Will singing was great as always. I love Him behind the piano, pad, guitar or anything else so we can watch him properly not just hidden behind all the drums.

You already know about the album, but someone said that he has my drumsticks, I mean, the one I made for Him that were with the rest of the presents. But it was probably just a gossip.

DLIBYH was as great as I expected. Really. Gave me so much P O W E R. UATW was again one of the best and most touching of the night. And also once again, ETIAW was great as an outro. I left my place when the encore started because there was a quite low man behind me and he had trouble seeing the show I think. I went to the back because it was quite calmly at the front and I had to dance everything out of me.

Anyway that would be it for the concert I think you're waiting for the other thing.

 

Everyone started shouting "SETLIST SETLIST SETLIST" once the guys left the stage and I was a little confused. Mr. Roadie said he didn't have any and probably there are none left so I said them "Chill out people" but they kept yelling "SETLIST SETLIST SETLIST" so I went somewhere else. I stumbled upon my friend and wanted to have a photo with her and the guard because he was such a cute cute cute cute bear. But then, a polish technician threw something off the stage. I was confused but what else I could do I just grabbed it. Just imagine my shock. WOW it was a towel! I always wanted a thing like that because I kept reading about people winning meetings with the band or just really stumbling upon them on the street or making them sign something or receiving something from the roadies. But it was me this time. Finally. I asked him whose towel it was but he didn't know. But he indeed threw it being in the front of the stage so I'm pretty sure it was Jonny's or Chris'. I was holding it very tight so no one could approach me and tear it out and I was just running around the area of the stadium because I couldn't believe it. Then my friend came to me. Sha said: OH MY GOD YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT. I said: YOU WON'T BELIEVE IT TOO. And she said she got the drumstick. It was really a long way to get it but she did. She knew how much Will means to me and she told me she wants to give it to me. I was really speechless. I hugged her very very tight and told her that I have a present for her too. She was so happy when I told her what happened. When I think of it now... it was really one of the best moments. I remember when we wanted to meet the guys because there were some competitions in which the main reward was meet&greet or something like that. And there we are. Maybe we couldn't meet them, talk with them, but we managed to take out more than just memories from the show. After a few steps we stumbled upon the president of Alter Art - the organization which organises concert (for example HOF 2011 - first Coldplay concert, and this as well). We showed him what we got and thanked him. I told him that those concerts are the dreams come true and how Coldplay made me start my journey with bands and music. We shook his hand and greeted and he said something I would translate as: "til the next time". I hope he consciously chose vocabulary and we'll be able to see Coldplay soon : )

That's about my story of that epic night.

Thank You for reading.

My review with crappy pics

 

I came home from Warsaw yesterday. A beautiful city and what a show!! :awesome: It was awesome, incredibly awesome.

We (me,my sister and mom) arrived to the stadium when the gates were already opened (we had Golden Circle EE tickets). People with GCEE tickets were already in but we still got very good spots. I think I've never ran as fast as I ran into the stadium! The guards told us to stop and breathe.When we had calmed down a little they said: "Okay now you can run again!". Then the Oxfam's banana men stopped us. They must think I'm totally out of my head because I was crying all the time they were talking to us:lol:

 

 

It rained like three hours when we were waiting at the stadium, but the rain stopped before Charlie XCX started.I didn't really like her music, but Marina and the Diamonds were nice. I think she did her job well as an opening act. She made the crowd scream loud when she said something like: "Coldplay are in their dressing room getting ready so can you make some noise so they can hear how great crowd you are?"

When Jay-Z's 99 Problems started I finally realized that I really was in a Coldplay concert.The feeling was so amazing! And when Back to the Future started I was sure I'm going to faint soon,I cried and screamed and jumped and omg :awesome: (My heart beats really fast while I'm writing this:D)

The lasers during HLH looked awesome! And the confetti during IMP :dazzled:

 

 

http://s1256.photobucket.com/albums/ii482/Millla42/?action=view&current=20120919_210408_zpsf24d2c86.mp4

 

Major Minus sounded great and so did Lovers in Japan. And the balloons! :dazzled:

 

 

The Scientist was absolutely wonderful :heart: Some people had yellow balloons during Yellow and Chris shouted:" I love the balloons,I love the balloons!":D

Violet Hill and GPASUYF were great as well.

 

 

PoC must be my least favourite Coldplay song but it did sound very good live! And Up in Flames and Warning Sign :heart:

 

 

DLIBYH sounded very powerful and amazing! And Viva la Vida was incredible of course :dazzled: And oh my God the xylobands during Charlie Brown and Paradise!! How beautiful!

 

 

It was great to hear Speed of Sound and I really loved Will's voice on UATW :heart: He sounds like an angel :dazzled: Clocks was very powerful too and Fix you was beautiful :wacky: During Fix You Chris said it was Matt McGinn's birthday :) And the ending with ETIAW was brilliant :wacky: But it all was over too soon, I felt like they played only for 10 minutes:( But I was happy when I got out from the stadium because I felt like all the people are chrushing me. If I'll some day go to a Coldplay concert again, I am probably going to take a seat. But the show was amazing:cool:

 

I saw only one Coldplay poster in Warsaw (though it was MX poster and had nothing to do with the concert). But I saw this and it reminded me of Coldplay:

 

:D

 

And I went to a CD shop and they had own shelf for Coldplay's CD's :wacky:

Btw, I met Kamilé (la.cri.mosa) on Thursday. It was great to meet another coldplayer :nice:

 

So, it was a great Coldplay holiday for me!

Thanks for reading :nice:

[UdaPruda]

Great review, Milla! Very nice meeting you there : )

 

I'm trying to write my review, but it's horrendously long and with no pictures :uhoh:

[kate_]

 

 

 

I am the girl in red trousers :)

 

Millla I was standing next to you :D Almost, I guess becuase my friend and I were standing somewhere ahead of you, by the rails, we had a flag saying: nice to see you again.

 

All concert, actually all day was great. All the waiting, the run to get the best place by the railes, and after that - the show. It was superb, magnificent. Guys, how they were playing, how Chris was singing, the music itself, xylobands in the dark, confetti - all was magical. When they were playing PoC Chris noticed our flag, pointed at us and start making some funny face expressions, like those "eyes" which you can see in the one hps's pictures from previous page :) It was unbelievable, being so close to your idol, all of them. And then Up I Flames started and with it another surprise - when piano showed up on the X-stage there was our album on it. Unbelievable and amazing feeling, to see that silent thank you to our gifts :)

I can barely find words in Polish to describe how great was that day, so how could I do it properly using English, just amazing day with amazing people :D
