Coeurli Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 ^ My city doesn't have many either! And there are smaller cities in France that are showing it and I'm not sure there are more fans there! And you may be surprised by the number of people who will go! Don't worry, I'm sure they won't cancel :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coeurli Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 It's kinda annoying me that French media (and Pathé) keep advertising it as "the concert at the Stade de France". I wouldn't like people to be disappointed when they realize it's not, and then put the blame on Coldplay (because anyone could feel kinda conned, tricked into going). It's not Coldplay, it's Pathé and the French media!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coeurli Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Yes it's weird...Well, it's not that surprising I guess, they wanna make more French go to the show and feel more concerned and intrigued...but they're doing it by almost lying. Not very ethical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tash Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Coldplay's testing times, circus & triumphs Coldplay say they are a circus family, and their Mylo Xyloto tour is certainly one big show for fans. THE launch sounds like it could be a space shuttle flight. "We're good on deck, good for show", a male voice intones over a wireless communications system. The "show" is Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto world tour. Within only the first 30 seconds of their Coldplay Live 2012 DVD, as the goosebumps rise along your arm, it becomes apparent this ambitious light and sound extravaganza could be the musical equivalent to a rocket launch. The technology involved in assisting these four musicians - Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland and Will Champion - to realise possibly the biggest show on earth by a rock band is mind-blowing. There are the LED wristbands, the confetti cannons, the lasers, the state-of-the-art lighting and sound systems - if Coldplay is making money on this tour, it isn't much. Yet for all the bells and whistles, Martin and his bandmates remain the focal point. And, even with his tongue firmly in cheek, the frontman admits some nights are tougher than others. "In the build-up to a concert I just get really excited. I'm aware of everyone running around. There's always a panic about something," Martin says. "You know, the rain's coming down or ... the wristbands aren't working ... or Will's bench-pressed too much and his abs have burst. "I don't know what the problems might be - Guy's just become too handsome to be lit properly ... or Jonny's fingers have started moving too fast and he's gonna play too many notes. "Whatever the problem is, I always enjoy watching it get solved before 9pm." Martin is a marathon performer, almost sprint skipping across the stage and down the lengthy runway into the middle of the crowd, designed to give those up the back that closer look at the action. The rock'n'roll myths fade away when you see him backstage, contemplative one moment, exploding with energy the next. "Then I start getting real adrenalin and start doing Rocky shadow boxing and all that kind of stuff. So I get as excited as anyone else," he says. Buckland explains that the concert's graffiti bursts of psychedelic colour, accentuated by the fluoro shades emanating from thousands of wrists pumping the air in concrete and steel stadiums, stemmed from a much simpler concept. "I think the initial image we started with for the Mylo Xyloto album was a rose bursting through concrete. That was the kind of starting point of the whole thing ... the splash of life and colour and passion in a bleak, grey place," he says. Off stage, Coldplay describe themselves as a "circus family". They play football and cricket and like any modern business person who has to travel for work, they miss their families. Drummer Champion felt the heartache of absence on the last tour. "The toughest bits are when you're away from home, from family. I remember we were playing in Las Vegas, which is a very silly place at the best of times," he says. "I got a call saying that one of my kids was in hospital and there I was in Las Vegas, you know, and I just thought ... there couldn't be a worse place to be when you know your kid is not very well. So it's hard and anyone that travels has that kind of thing to deal with often. We're not the first band to come across these problems by any means. But, yeah, those moments are pretty tricky." For every tough moment, there is a triumph. All four band members, and their tightknit team, cite the Mylo Xyloto tour as Coldplay finding freedom in the connection with their fans and no longer caring what the haters think. "I see this tour is the last, kind of, shackles being thrown off of being worried about what anyone thinks. Through the course of Mylo Xyloto I'd say that as a band we're functioning better than we ever have," Martin says. "We've been through the breakups and addictions and arguments and financial disagreements and ... not working properly together in the studio or falling out about which hours someone likes to work. "We're a very private band, we don't tell anyone very much. We definitely don't tell anyone about all the darker side of things, because we don't really believe in that rock'n'roll cliche, myth thing." link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Army Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Not sure where to post this, but the iTunes pre-order link for the live album is giving 90 second previews of each song. Though, we have heard each song live many times by now, but yeah its out there. Seems to be swearing or explicit language in three of the songs too.

Tash Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Coldplay Live 2012 Review If ever there was a band destined to tour the stadia of the world, it’s Coldplay. Coldplay Live 2012 is part documentary, part concert film; a fascinating look at the band taking their latest record, Mylo Xyloto, to sold-out venues across the globe. Opening the film as the album does, with Mylo Xyloto bleeding into Hurts Like Heaven, we then switch back to an audience favourite, In My Place, before coming to our first documentary segment, spliced between a handful of the songs in the sixteen-track set list. There are many things that separate Coldplay from the vast majority of bands making music today (or in any day), and one of those things is very much their exceptional live performances. You get the feeling that they want each and every person in the audience to feel like a part of the night, and the documentary gives an insight into that desire. Over the years, the band and long-time friend/fifth member/former manager Phil Harvey have been making greater and greater efforts to perfect their concerts – releasing giant balloons into the crowd; shooting out millions of paper butterflies; and most recently giving every single person in the audience an LED wristband upon entering the stadium, all of which light up throughout the night. Far from being a simple gimmick, or a way of making up for something lacking on stage, they are well designed to enhance the whole night, making for an unparalleled experience, and that feeling never drops for a minute through Live 2012. Lead singer, Chris Martin, talks about the release of the album and this subsequent tour as the throwing off of their shackles, and the resultant energy is brilliantly captured on screen. Live 2012 goes above and beyond any ordinary concert film, which is just what you’d expect from a band that isn’t any ordinary band. They go the further mile, always looking to take things further, do things better, make the extra effort. As the band plays through the darkening night, we’re treated to the equally impressive artwork and handwritten lyrics that are a part of their live shows, appearing on the screen itself in a fantastic bleeding of creativity. Coldplay’s live performances are a blurring of the lines between band and audience, stage and crowd. They bring the audience into the experience with an electrifying ambience. Live 2012’s director, Paul Dugdale, has said that he wants the film to make the viewer’s eyes widen and their hearts beat faster, and he has been unquestionably successful. It is a ninety-minute ride that will have your spine tingling, leaving you craving an announcement that Coldplay will be touring in a stadium near you as soon as humanly possible. link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckinglory Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 it depends what are the prices in your country. Well if mine cost 16,50€ , I would not go probably because it's like 1/3 cost of my concert ticket for Coldplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course :nod: Still, even in my country, 12€-13€ (cost of the tickets for Live 2012, form what I payed and what I've read so far) is more expensive than a regular ticket (sometimes much more, depending on the city and the cinema).
