Great points here. I think in the MX era, they wanted to do the festival's but needed to play new songs even though the album wasn't quite done yet. So as mentioned above, by the time the album release rolled around, the excitement died down. Where as the Ghost Stories release is just a few weeks away, and the excitement is just beginning!

Technically, we will be listening to the entire album live before we listen to the studio album, if the special is the album live like it was filmed. And it would work too, with 42 minutes of album time, probably add ten minutes of commercials and a few minutes of non live parts.

I can't even watch the damn thing...It keeps crashing at 28 seconds .But I see my pale mug next to Dianne!!....

 

....and that random guy was totally stoked but I had to school him on how to make sure we made it into the vid...

 

He had his arms folded and I let him know he better show some enthusiasm or we'd never be immortalized in a Coldplay TV special...

it worked and it definitely helped him have more fun loosening up.

 

I can't wait for CPers going to the LA and NY shows to be blown away!!!!

 

Awesome!! I really happy for the hardcore fans who got this awesome moments with Coldplay!! Thanks for sharing your experience:)

Already on YouTube:

So do we know details about the DVD? Does it come with the album or separate?

So far there's no indication that this will be a DVD. It is a TV special. Would be great if they release it at some point as a DVD, but it hasn't been confirmed by the band so until then I'd only consider it a TV special.

I reckon it looks as if too much effort was put in to make it a stand alone TV special.

Just from watching the trailer, it looks like a gem a lot of Coldplay fans would love to keep forever.

Having said that, if it is just a TV special, download it from somewhere on the net.

I have no doubt it will become available somewhere.

I've just watched the extended trailer for Ghost Stories, I'm speechless, it's blown me away, so beautiful, wouldn't that be so cool if all the shows were like that, got to go again!! So wonderful to have them back xxx❤️❤️❤️

^^ this

What channel do we think this might be on in the UK then? Sky Arts perhaps? Hoping it's on terrestrial.

I wish theyd tell you what this trailer is exactly for. Im guessing its not for the album but for a tv special of a concert?

 

Will they be performing the concert live or has it already been filmed?

 

And if this isnt on a uk channel i will explode with rage

It is for a TV special. And it has already been filmed. Anchorman said that they will announce in which UK channel it will air in due time. Cheers!

I highly suggest you do some research for yourself-- you may even want to try looking on Coldplay's website for these answers :sneaky:

Edit: oh, and thats the misty that Chris mentioned in the radio show who helped design the set is mentioned on the site

I honestly like the sound better on here :) you can here chris's real voice more :]

 

 

I almost forgot to ask this ^^

Does anybody have an idea if this different sound will be there acutal album version of Midnight on GS or is it just a special version for this trailer or during the Midnight performance in the NBC special?

Because I really like the added sound or differences to the version we got in March. :D

guys it's different because it's the live version

guys it's different because it's the live version

 

But I'm not sure about this acutally...because the live version during the Cologne concert last week had definitely a different sound imo. :thinking:
