Corali Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Yes, Last night was amazing! I never stood so close to the band (2nd row). The long wait in line was totally worth it. And it was nice to meet some fellow coldplay fans. My favourite new song is Anothers arms, i like the the guitar part in it. And i loved that they played a sky full of stars. I couln't remember the melody anymore, right after the gig. But this morning it suddenly popped into my head, although i'm not sure it really sounds like that. So now i'm actually even more curious how the real version sounds like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danceteacher Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 So, finally I have found some time to upload my photos. The concert was perfect! I do not have much to add to Thalia's review I think. I was there at about 1 pm as I could not be there earlier, but the wait was still long enough. The weather was unbelievable - seemed like the middle of summer instead of end of April, very unusual for Germany! Good thing I brought sunscreen to share. It was great to meet some other Coldplayers including Tash :heart: Looking at the live-blog I still wonder how we could miss Anchorman taking that picture of us in front of the doors. There was a guy in a pink shirt who kept coming out taking pictures, maybe that was him? If yes, he looks totally different than I imagine him. As you know we ended up in front row - I was actually in second row, but that was fine as I had enough space and the view was the same. Directly in line of Chris ;) I can only think of one word to describe the stage set up - "charming" :wink2: The stars reminded me of the stars the kids in Germany make in pre-school around christmas. But at that point I did not know yet that they would light up. They had writing on them - looked like lyrics but I cannot say for sure. And the trees looked like deco for a school play, too. But when the lights came on the "charming" was instantly replaced by "magnificient". Amazing what can be done with stage lighting! I must say it was very strange to have a Coldplay concert without "99 problems" and the BTTF-track. It simply started :blank: To me the concert was perfect. Right at the start Chris looked and pointed at me and laughed, I think it was because I was wearing my Coldplay scarf. Whatever it was - when Chris Martin laughes at you you laugh back and so I did ;) I loved the new tracks - I liked Magic live much better than the studio version, Oceans was beautiful and Midnight was heaven. I am so happy they manage to pull that track off live. I had expected it to be at the end of the set-list, though. Some of you mentioned that Chris and Jonny were not running around as much as usual but I think that was completely due to lack of space. I mean compared to the MX-tour this stage was TINY. And all that massive high-tech stuff was crammed in there, too, which meant lots of cables and impressing looking things cluttering the space. Also it was quite clear that the new stuff is not routine yet which made it all the more interesting ;). What else? I got a plectrum, too, as it fell just next to my foot and everyone looked in the wrong space ;) Oh, and the 1live interview of Thalia and Claudia was so funny in the end - the guy asked "what were your highlights of the show tonight?" So I expected Thalia to say something like "hearing ASFOS for the first time" or similar, but no, Thalia says: "two times eye contact with the singer, Chris Martin, one time eye contact with the drummer and one time with Jonny" and Claudia adds: "Oh, and Guy laughed". I had to laugh so much as the interview-guy was so totally lost with these answers ;) Well, this review got longer than I thought it would.anyway now for my pictures - I am putting them in spoilers as there are quite a lot. Not very good quality, though, the professional ones will be way better, but maybe you still enjoy them: Before the concert: Thalias Xylobands Signs & Ghosts ;) It was HOT! Concert: Matt (I think) Will: Magic: Midnight: Another's Arms: Viva: Confetti :) "Please do not record this!" Spoils: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nancyk58 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Thank you for all your reviews and pictures. Thalia's review made me laugh several times: It was so detailed so that I almost felt like being at the concert myself. And also thank you for the links to the streaming / radio transmissions so that I and other coldplayers could hear most of the concert as well. I will take a look at the German reviews (links posted in post 1468 on page 98). It turns out that pictures and text of Muenstersche Zeitung are identical with pictures and text in emsdettener Volkszeitung - so I start with this. I do not have so much time for the time being as it is beautiful summer weather in Copenhagen, and I am helping a friend of mine removing weeds from her garden so I have not been / am not much home this week-end. I have heard today's concert via a link (the last 8 minutes from Spain and then all of it from the Netherlands at 21 cet). Many of the new songs have grown on me - I liked Magic right away. I did not like Midnight at all, but now I like it very much. I also like the other new songs. I will be back with some edited reviews (general press coverage of the concert later (maybe tonight, maybe Sunday evening or Monday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 @ Danceteacher: You know I always love your pre-concert photos for two reasons: 1) They capture the excitement of the fan-madness perfectly :lol: And all the stuff that we are doing before the actual concert. 2) YOU ARE ALWAYS SO SNEAKY WHILE TAKING THEM, I didn't even realise you were taking pictures of us at half of the photos :surprised: and OMG the interview later on, HAHAHA! I totally fan-ed all over him, he was probably thinking like "what she fuck is she even talking about?!" :lol: But you know what's even more surprising? All of my "eye-contact" gushing actually made it into the broadcast o__o Here's the link if you want to lol a little: http://www.einslive.de/codebase/ajax/audio.jsp;jsessionid=EFB2C19944DB0C0F13A933D1BBA3722E.1live1?dslSrc=%2fmusik%2fextras%2f2014%2fcoldplay%2f140426_coldplay_radiokonzert_nb_wdr.mp3&cfgFile=%2fcodebase%2fplayer%2fblack%2fskin.cfg&autoPlay=true&red=1live Oh yeah and the man who interviewed us thought Guy was the drummer LOLOMG :facepalm: Marcel, if you're reading this...

eleanordc Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Personally, I don't think the ticket price has to be justified with a long set. They're performing very few concerts in very tiny venues. The rarity of the occasion alone justifies the admittedly very high price, I think. You don't pay for a long concert, you pay for the opportunity of seeing one of the biggest bands in the world that close. Couldn't agree more!

I just get a strong Viva vibe from it, like, it sounds like they are very related.
