I remember first falling in love with Coldplay with everyone else, at the release of “Yellow” in 2000. Its music video has an emotionally broken man in a raincoat walk across a beach in the darkness in one continuous shot until the dawn. Somehow, I was transfixed by the impact of the lyrics, scenery, and emotions combined. From then on, I remain a big fan.

 

It was a stroke of luck that my first chance to see Coldplay in my hometown of Montreal was the same night they were filming for their Mylo Xyloto tour 2012 DVD. The show was simply enthralling starting with the first 10 minutes of non-stop action; surprising the packed arena with playful and magical visual elements of constant cascading confetti from above and confetti cannons, bubble-gum balls, laser lights and a psychedelic graffiti-themed stage, amplified by the profusion of neon Coldplay bracelets twinkling on every single audience member which were provided upon entrance to the show and which further transformed the room into a spellbound wonderland of theatrics.

 

By and large, they proved to be the masters of conquering a vast space.

 

Chris Martin‘s full-blown energy, soothing voice and a list of beautiful hit songs were reciprocated by passionate fans. Chris did not fail to notice. He humbly thanked each and every member for enduring “the traffic and the ticket prices and all the other shit you have to go through for a concert” and to show their gratitude, “we’re going to try to play the greatest fucking show we’ve ever played in our lives.” – Well duh, it was for their DVD. But nonetheless, the fans erupted with flattery. His interaction with the crowd doesn’t end there as he joined the audience, literally running through the aisle to settle on a elevated small stage among shocked and fortunate fans.

 

Their set list of songs includes pretty much the Coldplay classics ranging from “The Scientist,” “Yellow” which Chris dedicated to the Colorado cinema shooting; “Fix you” which I think brought a collective shiver up everyone’s spine; “Speed of Sound“, “Lovers in Japan,” and of course, their newest material including Princess of China featuring Rihanna’s sing-along via a host of screens.

First of all, the second show was WAY better than the first one.

 

The crowd was SO pumped. Wayyy more than thursday. And, we got 2 XYLOBANDS !!! :D They redid Charlie Brown for the film, plus I found Chris was happier, and he was talking to the fans way more than thursday.

 

The whole show was just better on friday.

 

Thank god they filmed on friday and not on thursday... the crowd was just so much more into it. And Chris said : "we could not pick any better audiance to film a movie" which is not so false, because Montreal has amazing crowds in every concert. Ok, doesn't beat RIO but...! ;)

 

Anyways, I met Coldplay's video director who gave me a nice little something (only 200 of it made) and told me they filmed 4 songs on friday, so I guess Charlie Brown because they redid it.. The rest, I don't know !!

They might take some songs from Toronto but like I said, the video director told me they were filming Montreal
