September 9, 201213 yr This is probably the most used word in this thread, but I have to write it as well, I'm so PROUD of them! Can't wait for the Strawberry Swing video to appear!
September 9, 201213 yr Does anyone know where I can watch re-watch it? :\ I had to leave after Charlie Brown.
September 9, 201213 yr Oh wait I think they're repeating it right now on the paralympics website. :) Edit: nevermind...they're just some highlights. :(
September 9, 201213 yr The entire concert was just so magical. Mad props to Coldplay, it's my favorite live performance ever. My personal favorite of the evening was Strawberry Swing (I am bias though, because it's my favorite Coldplay song!) I hope a video of that is found soon! I need to watch/listen to it again ;D
September 9, 201213 yr That Politik orchestral version was also stunning. With all those fireworks. And teh choir singing open up your eyes, beautiful.

September 9, 201213 yr Run This Town Jay Z - Featuring Rihanna & Coldplay | Paralympic Closing Ceremony Live London 2012 - YouTube[/url] He's a legend. If I will ever have children or at least a nephew or niece I will tell them stories about Will Champion : D He was epic the whole night, especially during Viva La Vida, GPASUYF and ETIAW. He was playing that drums so fuckings hard. It's a shame they didn't show much of Coldplay on stage. I wanted to see Him sing on Viva La Vida before and after the song but the camera operator(s) seemed a little hmm... sleepy ? I loved how he played guitar and sang on ETIAW. That was so lovely and energetic.
September 9, 201213 yr Superb! Maybe a bit too much for some but there was no denying that Coldplay were the PERFECT act to close London 2012. They utilised the LED pixels (one of the most ingenious innovations in Olympic ceremonies ever) in the stands to great effect and filled the stadium with their music with ease. But for me it was Strawberry Swing and the "summer" segment that was the winner. Along with the Paraorchestra (who were quite stunning alongside Coldplay) it was beautiful and was a fitting closing anthem for London 2012 that recaptured the spirit of Danny Boyle's Olympic opening ceremony all those weeks back. Ended the most incredible summer the UK has ever had in the most perfect manner. Proud to be British.
September 9, 201213 yr I gotta say that now I've no doubt they'll be remembered in the history of music. Just one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Strawberry swing and 42, Jonny being fanbucklantastic, Will being the Champion.
September 9, 201213 yr AMAZING show. Well done, boys!!! Best moment for me: Strawberry Swing, no doubt. Love that song so much.
September 9, 201213 yr He changed the lyrics to fit the occasion. He didn't mess it up. Hmmm, i thought I heard a minor mistake... I need to listen to it again(I'm not talking about the rio is in sight.) :P edit: OK, so i listened to it again and you're right. I guess i just thought it sounded...weird because of him repeating "generation" twice. But i get it now. :)
September 9, 201213 yr Xylobands had London2012 on them: Lj @Queen_of_OF Look what we got! Bet some medal winners wore these :) #paralympics #closingceremony #london2012 http://lockerz.com/s/242938932
