ColdplayFilm - MX Live DVD

[Freeone5914]

Was it just the audio of up with the birds for the credits or did it show them actually playing the song?

[LeonieArienne]

WE'RE GOING!!! Wieeeeh 10 minutes till it strts :D HAVE FUN EVERYBODY

[Zatchamp]

Clean Version?

 

I was just looking on iTunes and there appears to be 2 versions of the audio CD for sale. The only difference seems to be that HLH, MM, and GPASUYF don't have the explicit logo beside them. Specifically, the explicit in the preview for GPASUYF is hidden. Is Coldplay giving clean versions of the DVD and CD too? :)

Just album version.

I'm jealous of everyone with cool tickets. I'm taking three friends, and I have a one ticket that says admission for 3 and prices on it. My ticket is very boring.:(

Это было потрясающе!! Спасибо coldplay за эти 1.5 часа счастья :3 #coldplaylive2012 http://instagr.am/p/R-yzwCPw73/

 

I've been on the same screening. Pity no one wants to clap or sing during performance.

 

The movie was nice. I wouldn't call it great, like the Live 2003, but still solid, colourful and bold. And extremely light.

 

The only thing I don't like - too much style over substance, too rapid editing, too much colour sometimes. I saw U2 3D and like a concert movie it was better. Also I give the edge to U2 live gig over Coldplay (I saw both bands live). But the boys told themselves, they know how to improve the show. Let's wait and see another leg next year.

Already 2.5 hours after it, still feeling dizzy!

 

 

 

Stade de France proved to be an amazing venue with a great crowd : ) My expressions during the whole film were probably hilarious - so many moments to giggle or grin stupidly! Lots and lots of Buckin (I'm not complaining :lol:) Also featuring Chris' flowery t-shirt! :D

To enhance the contrast, I've watched the Live 2003 concert for the first time today. What a difference! So many smiles throughout the film! There was one thing I noticed to be similar: a shot of Guy's fingers playing the apparently same bass like 9 years before :awesome:

The film is heavily based on the Paris show. I loved the inclusion of La Cigale, again, the contrast between a stadium and a small space was incredible. The Hollywood Bowl is shown for maybe half a minute... Credits stated that Emirates was also included, so I'm guessing it was the run to the C-stage :shrug:

Of course, the most exciting part was the interview bits. I felt like they could be longer or more of them, but they were great, Chris didn't forget to include a joke about Guy's looks :laugh4: What disappointed me a little was the last bit, when the 'negatives' were mentioned and I was waiting for some elaboration on that - there was none. So it could have been a couple of sentences shorter.

What I liked the least: Viva from Glastonbury. Why? It felt out of place for me - no xylobands, no X-stage, I couldn't even say the crowd sounded extremely well :angry:

Well, I was shivering the whole film, people who didn't get to experience the live concert told me they were astonished! The credits part with the 'goodbye' was very sweet with Up with the Birds playing in the background and it was a great ending.

Also: Cadbury buttons.

Just got home from the movie (I saw it in Brussels)

 

I really really loved it. The thing I loved most was perhaps that they showed so much close-ups of the crowd. You can totally feel what they feel and you get all warm on the inside because you still remember being one of them in the real-life concert and all.

 

I don't know about you guys but I loved Up In Flames. Just the follow up of the 'backstage images' and then this song. I really enjoyed it.

 

One thing did bother me though

 

 

 

why did they put La Cigale in it? I mean, I can imagine that t was a good show and theyr tried illustrating that they also played small venues. But to me it's just a dealbreaker you know. Part of the magic of this film is the audience participation and well, there were a lot less people there. I don't really get it.

Just got back from Cineworld Brighton, absolutely brilliant.....

 

Can't wait for the Blu-ray DVD to arrive in a few days :)

 

I do hope they add some more UK dates this tour, coz there's nothing like being there, it's wicked!

[Empily]

Just got back, it was beautiful and not afraid to say I choked up with emotion at numerous points xD

 

Only thing though..... was anyone elses screening so ear splitingly loud? I don't think they could have put the volume up any louder.

It actually started to get uncomfortable after a while.

[LARD]

I didn't go to the cinema screening, but I'm really looking forward to the Blu-Ray on my Hi-Fi system! I'll be seeing if I can spot myself in the Glastonbury footage :-)

Not loud enough at Brighton, I was kinda wishing they could've turned it up much louder!!!

[Vitamin Z]

Just got back from one of the screenings in Cardiff, and it was bloody fantastic. There were only about 6 other people in the cinema, which I thought was a bit disappointing but it didn't affect my enjoyment of it.

 

I was expecting the BTTF build up at the beginning, but it kicked off straight away with MX/Hurts like Heaven. I think HLH was the highlight for me, the best live recording I've heard of it - it was filled with energy. I was at first disappointed to read that LiJ and Warning Sign, but it seemed to flow perfectly. Even songs I'm not totally fond of (Major Minus, Up in Flames) sounded fantastic.

 

It also goes without saying that Charlie Brown was EPIC, as was Paradise. I also really liked how UATW looked (i.e. unprofessional recordngs), it made it seem really intimate.

 

I loved how the film went betweens locations, including some fairly small ones which I think worked really well. The interviews seemed a tad repetitive, but I liked how well placed in the setlist they were - Will's one was very emotional and I loved how it seemed to 'continue' into Up in Flames.

 

All in all...wow. I can't wait to get my DVD to watch it again, but I hope my TV/Sound system does it justice!

 

EDIT: And yes, it was ear splittingly loud for me too! The crowd noise was crazy, but that kind of added to the atmosphere.

[R23]

It was freaking amazing. It was like I was at the concerts again. I really loved the quotes of the guys they edited in. A great memory of a great tour! I really loved Charlie Brown, especially the shot behind Chris when you saw all the Xylobands Amazing!

Yeah I had the same thing. At some points when the crowd started screaming it just came out as one huge 'noisebomb' . At one point it was so bad that I was like: oh-oh, GPASUYF is next, that'll hurt a lot :P

[Peepee]

Just back from it, brilliant, awesome, beautiful... I love the commentary, the spectacles,... I wish there were Coldplay gig every year in Prague...

 

Oh, and the bonus aftter subtitles...Chris is simply genius

Haha, I wish we could have swapped cinemas! :P

That's exactly what happened here :lol:

The bit where the band went to the stage at the back of the arena... the crowd was so loud it was painful! D:

GPASUYF was awesome though, I love that version of it. Also Paradise sounds so good with a lot of bass behind it :wacky:

I missed the end credits bit :sad: I didn't get to see it, can someone tell me what happens :sad:

[Accola]

So now my turn:

 

I just got back from Live 2012, it was the first time when I stood during a movie in the cinema! And not just me! Almost everyone was standing, singing, screaming and clapping their hands! AMAZING! Some people even had glowing xylobands! haha!

And OMG the end... haha xD Chris, are you okay? xD Really funny

And luckily I stayed with my friends after everyone left the cinema and we ask the menager if he has some promo posters. And guess what: HE HAD! He gave us I think 8 posters but it wasn't enough and I didn't get one :( But then I saw one on the wall and I ask if I can take it, the menager said: You found it, so it's yours. OMFG! They helped me to take it off and now I have this really cool poster in my room! xD

 

P.S. During a movie, when Chris was speaking my friend shouted very loud: Shut up people, Master is speaking! haha xD

omg the Viva la vida, the most incredible thing there. And the chant after we left the cinema! Oh my...

 

Sorry for any mistakes and everything but I just got back so I'm a bit tired but I can't over it! xD haha

 

I'll post the picture of my poster later if you want :)

[CP-EST]

Wow, it was amazing! I'm pleased we got to see it in Estonia. Never been to real Coldplay show, but watching that movie with 500 people was quite close to real show.

 

In the end when Every Teardrop started, at least 40 people stood up and danced along to it, that surprised me a bit :D. Great to see that there is at least some Coldplay fans in Estonia! :)

Also saw one girl near me with 3 Xylobands. I have to admit, I really wanted to steal one:D

 

Seeing that today made me want to experience real Coldplay show even more.

I really hope, that one day they understand that fans in Estonia and countries like Finland, Latvia and Lithuania also deserve a concert! :D

[Plug_in_coldplaying]

...or sometimes Guy is too handsome to handle... this sentence cracked me up soooooo much and overall the segments were absolutely hilarious and touching too plus the amazing edit of footage from different venues made this very special.

 

Oh btw anyone tought of the BBT when the Jim Parsons name popped up under prodeuction even though we know its the the actor?

[Mollyxyloto]

My review of Live 2012!

 

I just got back from watching Live 2012 at the cinema.

I thought that it was absolutely fantastic, it obviously didn't compare to when I actually saw one of the concerts but the film was fantastic, the set list was really good and I sat singing my head off with a huge grin through the whole thing.

I loved it all and the messages from the guys in between were deep and really made me feel like they were speaking to ME, I actually cried at Wills.

At the end of the film after the credits I loved the message from Chris about chocolate buttons :laugh3: I love him! I love them all!

The fans made the film even better, the xylobands looked fucking fantastic and the singing from us Coldplayers was simply brilliant.

 

US COLDPLAYERS TRULY ARE THE GREATEST FANS IN THE WORLD :heart:

Just got back from Vue in Portsmouth. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!! The cinema was actually nearly full which I was impressed with!

 

I thought the film was incredibly well done, the way the graphics and everything from the screens on stage spilled over into the film was incredibly clever, especially during HLH, Charlie Brown, Paradise and Clocks!

 

I must admit, before seeing it I was worried that missing songs like The Scientist, LiJ and DLIBYH would take away from the film, but with the documentary parts filling the gaps between songs, it flowed perfectly and was about the right length I think!

 

Definitely worth staying for the end after the credits, Chris' chocolate button soliloquy was so funny :') I think it captured the emotion and the atmosphere of the live show perfectly (of course not as good though! :P ) and EVEN THOUGH I said I wouldn't, a little tear came to my eye during Fix You...so overwhelming when the drums crash in! I cannot wait for the dvd to arrive next week!

 

My only complaint??? It wasn't loud enough in our cinema!!!

 

Also...an afterthought perhaps, I thought it was a shame that it focussed so heavily on the Paris show. Obviously it was great for continuity, but I wished more footage had come from the Emirates in London! Then again...I would say that because that was the show I saw!!! 10/10!!!! :D

[kittybitty]

Somebody needs to further explain the chocolate buttons to us who cannot see the film tonight, please.

[R_Burns]

I thought it was absolutely beautiful.

When I got into my seat (Jonny side of the cinema of course) I actually had an anticipatory rise.

Hurts Like Heaven gave me goosebumps and they pretty much lasted throughout the whole film.

I thought the cinematography was great, especially on Us Against The World.

 

The interview snippets were my favourite part. Will's build up to Up In Flames was really sombering. Chris' view on rock and roll myths will always be something I resonate with and the film re-affirms my disbelief at how people can hate the band and especially Chris.

 

My only problem, and it's a very miniscule one, is the venue being sprawled across the screen during every change. Like I say, small and pretty nitpicky.

 

I can't wait for my copy to arrive.

 

CADBURY'S BUTTONS!
