VivaMomo Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 My first concert Hello. I was at the concert in Gelsenkirchen. I took a day off of school just to go to the show. Normally I wouldn't do that but it was the biggest thing in my life till now. Really. So, I drove with a friend to the show and I am grateful that he also went to the show. He didn't go for Coldplay. He just went to work. Good for me, because I had to be at home within an hour after the concert so I could have enough sleep. I wrote an exam the other day and it worked just fine. :) Comming to the show: I was early and waited approximately 1,5 hours till I got in. I think I heard the band rehearsing Proof but they didn't play it at the concert. :( I was in the north of the stadium and had to wait because of the missing Xylobands at the gate. Finally, the gates were open and we were given the Xylobands and the Love Buttons. The woman at the gate was explaining why we were waiting and described the Xylobands as glowing and funny wristbands. :) My Xyloband was green and my Love Button orange. In the Stadium, I talked with some people to bridge the time till Alessia Cara came to the stage. The seats were nearly empty but the places where you don't have seats were filled well. She had nice songs and performed just as good although she only sang about a half an hour. The crowd (me included) was not that loud or sang along. I just didn't know the songs. Same story with Lianne La Havas. I think she was better than Alessia Cara but both were good. I really liked them. They were both finished, so we waited for Coldplay. I've spoken with some other fans about wether we should start the Viva chant. They said they don't have good voices but so do I. I decided to start and noone sang along. I started another try. Again, noone sang along. I started a third run and some people joined in (I was so happy :D) but they stopped to sing very quick. I still think it was worth it. :D AND THEN COLDPLAY CAME! I have sung along to every song and probably went some people on the nerves. There was a grumpy man (I guess he was 50y old). He looked at me all the time. :D I shouted so hard, my voice was damaged at the fourth song. I did go crazy and I'm a really shy person. It's a magical effect Coldplay has on you. :) After Coldplay left the stage we, the crowed, started to sing the Viva chant. It was phenomenal. I was never that happy in my life. For real. I jumped, danced (I cannot dance but I don't care :D), sang and had my happiest night in my live! Thank you Coldplay! Thank you Chris, Guy, Jonny, Will and Phil! Thank you for everyone who was involved in the show! And thank you, the crowd who was low in the performances of Alessia Cara and Lianne La Havas but went crazy on Coldplay! And thank you to the two person I asked for the Xylobands. They wanted to throw them in the trash because the message on the stage said please throw them in the trash after the concert. I now have three Xylobands and one Love Botton! Green, red and purple are the colours of the Xylobands. :) Oh, and I didn't take any photos nor videos. I didn't even take my phone out through out the concert. I just enjoyed the music and the show. :) My friend drove me back and he literally saved my life. The reason: the train to the main station in my home town was not the problem but the tram I had to take didn't drive at that time. If I hadn't my friend, I would have waited four hours till my tram came! I also thought about a taxi but a taxi would have cost 70 or more Euros and that's too much for me. I was only 17 (now 18) and go to school. Anyways, it was the best day of my life and I'll never forget it - especially with that date 1.6.16. Got it? 16 16. :) Lastly, I wish all the fellow Coldplayers who will atend a concert much happiness and joy! It is such an amazing experience! Have a great day! :) PS: Please excuse my horrible English, I tried my best. :) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuliaOK Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 "We'll be glowing in the dark..." This was the first time I was ever to be seeing Coldplay live at Friends Arena in Stockholm Sweden, and I don't think that I've ever been more excited in my life. It was one of the days were the usual, the trivial, even the annoying things in life seemed amazing, as they were leading up to that special moment, the moment that I thought could change my life. All I could think of was how much I wanted to stand in the crowd of 55.000 people, all bound together as one giant molecule by the xylobands, and the music, the music that we all loved. I just wanted to feel like I could relate to Charlie Brown, to the feeling of glowing in the dark, and not care about anything else in the world but the now. I wanted to belong like I've never belonged. Even though I dreamed, even though I googled and pushed my imagination to the very edge of it's ability, I don't I could've ever predicted the concert to be THAT good. I mean, if just the bare thought of Coldplay could make the long queuing, the heat and the throng from the crowd, and the lack of food and water seem like the biggest and most breathtaking adventures, just imagine my feelings when the first chords of A Head Full of Dreams was heard. After just a few seconds, I was no longer a sweaty, tired seventeen year old girl from a small town in Sweden, surronded by guys with manbuns. I was A PART of Coldplay. A part of Coldplay, as important as every single person in that venue, contributing by dancing, singing, clapping, cheering, and just dedicating their whole existance to the music, creating just pure MAGIC. During that concert, I was someplace else, in a whole other state of mind. A state of mind where everyone belonged and made a difference, if only for a while. Still now, a little more than one week after the concert, I can still close my eyes and feel as a if I'm part of something bigger, a part of something which I now share with all of the people out there that have experienced this magic. After that night, I can't just relate to Charlie Brown. I am Charlie Brown, along with all of you. I no longer have to imagine how it is to glow in the dark. Thanks to Coldplay, I am now everglowing. -Julia Östling-Kütt 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran away Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Hi @Christa42, would a review of an AHFOD Promo Tour concert (in this particular case, the Today Show concert in New York) qualify ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christa42 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 Sure, we are just looking for the most creative review as long as it includes songs from the AHFOD album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samilovesturtles Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I've never actually been to a concert before, but what I can review is most of their concerts from the AHFOD era. I like to watch them online and see videos that people post on social media and everytime I see those videos, it sends chills to me . Their concerts are so alive and full of energy that it makes me feel that I'm actually there. Winning these set of buttons will furthermore let me have a piece of them. Thanks for this opportunity. :p 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenEssEff Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I've been a very big fan since Coldplay first came out and finally got to see them live in 2009 in Sacramento. Recently I had the opportunity to help with the stage set up and break down for the Super Bowl and only applied because Coldplay was going to be there. It was amazing to see all the magic that goes on in a production that huge! We were able to see the actual show many times before the BIG show but had to be very professional. I couldn't ask Chris for an autograph while he ran around the field or scream to the top of my lungs everytime the band played during rehearsals But after practice one day a friend and I did catch Will and Jonny leaving the stadium and I asked for a pic. They spoke with us for a very long time and thanked us for the help with stage set up. I told Jonny that my sisters and I would be going to see them in Barcelona and asked him to look for the monkeys in the very back. Not that he would ever remember... But he said "Sure!" So our Barcelona trip arrived and the monkeys went into play during AOAL! I missed the whole song cause I couldn't see with my glasses fogging up under the mask! My sister and I danced away... She went into full monkey mode with the moves!! Haha! I have never been to a concert outside of the states and was very impressed at how "cool" the crowd was. There were no seating assignments on the "pista" and I wondered why the US shows weren't open, without assigned seats on the floor.. The show of course was incredible!! The sound, the xylobands, the venue!! It was the best to see everyone connecting at that moment.. with the greatest band to take us away for just a short time... Any way-- before the show we were also very interested in the port o potty's for the guys and wondered why they don't have these in the states as well!! I'm gonna follow the band around a while-- Will be at the LA show and then close it off back at Levi's Stadium where they did the Super Bowl.. These pins would really look great on my Coldplay/ SB 50 windbreaker! ❤️ 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuckinParadise Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 [ATTACH]5215[/ATTACH] My Adventure of a Lifetime 2016 ( 7 concerts- 7 albums- 7 colours in the colourspectrum) OH I THINK I LANDED WHERE THERE ARE MIRACLES AT WORK WHEN YOU GOT ME OPEN HANDED WHEN YOU GOT ME LOST FOR WORDS ! [MEDIA=instagram]BHh6GH0gLno[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BHh6GH0gLno/?taken-by=such_a_precious_jewel Concert #1 Gelsenkirchen June 1st 2016 I was the 1st in queue for Front of Stage, was a rainy day. and a bit of thunderstorm..so we were glad in the end that the roof was closed... Now I can say you can’t compare it with the Wembley shows., where people were pushing so hard at the gates…we got smoothly on through the tunnels... We had so much space at the front row, I would never have expected that. We have been so many from our German Facebook goup “ Coldplay Freunde Deutschland ( Admin Frank Schriever ) ) at the B stage . Was just a miracle!! . And we had an amazing camera man , called Mike . He put us so often on the big screens with our flags and shirts and lauhing and dancing ! So during Yellow , me at Fix You with my shirt which I took later with me to every show :) My first AHFOD concert flashed me completely. You didn’t know where to look first..the stage ...so many colours..the thrills during Charlie Chaplin speech , just before the concert starts and all the xylobands lightning up …and then the boys coming on stage starting with A Head Full of Dreams ...GOOSEBUMPS !!!! [MEDIA=instagram]BGsnbTAgbG7[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BGsnbTAgbG7/?taken-by=such_a_precious_jewel They played LOVERS IN JAPAN in such an amazing acoustic version on Bstage !!!! Best thing he (Mike ) filmed was my tattoo dedicated to the best song ( imo) of AHFOD , Up & Up . [MEDIA=instagram]BDYkxySAbHH[/MEDIA] Mobile Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BDYkxySAbHH/?taken-by=such_a_precious_jewel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXxgyb6OjuE Mobile Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXxgyb6OjuE It was on the big screen during Jonny’s guitar solo. WOW !! And he handed me a setlist without me asking for that ! Just because we have been such a good crowd. Which he told me later via Twitter ( have to say he wrote his Instagram User name on the setlist ;-) ) After the show we got interviewed by local radio station and the next day the played what I said : they asked what we liked the most at the concert and I said best song for me was Up & Up and that I have a tattoo dedicated to it and the last lines of the lyrics :) So that’s were the miracles start to happen. I thought you can’t top that....

Pilar is so talented and very nice person ! She signed me postcards and my AHFOD CD and took a selfie with me.

Dancing & handshaking !! BTW thx again for it :) I never won anything Coldplay related before :) In Gelsenkirchen I already had gifts for the boys with me, although I didn’t know if I would be able to meet them..anyway NOW I really saw THE chance to give them to Phil. Unfortunately he couldn’t come..too much busy planning the Wembley shows. But Fraser Scott, the art director of A Gallery was so kind to record a video message and sent it to Phil and he promised to hand him the gifts.Because he would be there for the Saturday show :) have to add before the exhibition I made a visit at the studios. I stayed 10 minutes away . And I bumped into Rik Simpson and Dan Green on my way to the Bakery : They made a selfie with me and we had a nice little chat :) So, Wembley 1st show I met lovely Coldplayers , including Ian & Sam from Atlas Project ( Twitter @Coldplayatlas [uSER=103287]@SamazingDay /USER] ) while queuing all day long even it was rainy and cold. You also could walk round the stadium to say Hello to friends waiting at other gates .And shops were around to get you some food and rain coats at a camping shop ^^. They might did their business of a year these 4 days ^^- Made it to the runway , took a selfie with Mike the camera man and on this day Chris came down on the runway during AOAL and sang to me with his crazy eyes ^^. I was wearing a smiley hat from a friend :) And got a guitar plectrum from Matt MC Ginn.<3 Concert#3 Wembley London June 16th Was amazing cause I met up with some German friends and we stood toghether at Bstage , left side . BUT ...OMG , I was first at my turnstiles and then the Collector ticket didn't work !!! And the lady beyond the turnstiles told me seriously I had to go to the ticket office and I was like " NO WAY" tunred around and to the next one..luckily the most fans stood at ONE gate and the other on we were told to wait at was empty so I made it again to one of the first to get down the stairs...this time the stewards hold signs which said in tall letter " GO !! ". The day before ot was chaos..people pushing so hard. We danced and jumped like crazy !! Although again..rain..during the support acts, but just in the moment when Coldplay came on stage sky was clearing up . Like a miracle !! Got another setlist this evening and Mike put my tattoo on the big screen again . Me and my friend also convinced a roadie after the concert to give my freind, who is a drummer and just got married , to hand him one of Wills drumsticks which were in the small drumkit used at Bstage.He was sooo happy .Best wedding gift :D And I asked Mike to hand him a setlist as well . :) Day Off June 17th I had to pick up my ticket for Sunday on the other side of London that day and in the afternoon there was a international Coldplayer meet up at the studios. That was so beautiful, because you knew each other online from Facebook or Twitter ( some I have met before ) but this was a great thing !! Italian, German, Japanese, UK, Dutch, French Coldplayers like one big family <3 On this day when I expected it at least, my dream came true ...I met one half of BUCKIN ---> JONNY ! :dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::dazzled::bliss: I couldn’t believe my eyes and started crying because I was sooooo overwhelmed. I wished to meet the band over years !! Had been to London 3times in the past, but no luck, or small luck..last year I met MattMc Ginn who handed me some signed stuff and 3 drumsticks, God bless him . But he ( J ) was so sweet, laughing/ smiling all the time and came to me “ Hey how are you doing ? “ and I said “ OMG I can’t believe it..I love you so much …can I hug you please ? “ and I did it 3 – 5 times !! And I was not able to speak firstly , he was patient saying “ its okay” while smiling the cutest smile I have ever seen . I felt very comfy with him and we talked about 5 minutes ( there was no other Coldplayer around at that moment ) after I found back to my awords.. told him he is the best guitarist in the world, and that the music means so much to me and that I love when he is doing Buckin with Chris and showed him my arm fom last nights concert ..I wrote Buckin Girl on it ^^. and told him I am doing 7 concerts and showed my tattoo to him . Then we , no HE took the selfie wih MY smartphone ( will never clean it anymore , I remember I apologized because when I unlocked the screen only Chris was my background and then he laughed even harder :D --ahh I have no words for him - I AM SO IN LOVE :dazzled: and he signed me a postcard which I bought at the AHFOD exhibition . And he did also an audio message to a friend of mine . She is a great Jonny Fan as well. She asked me , before I went to London, if I would meet him to ask him to wear his famous green trousers at her only concert at Hamburg...she was over the moon when I sent her the audio message on Whats App :blush: then he really apologized that he had to move on. What a sweetheart !! And I said " see you tomorrow ! " He is like sunshine !! And he smells soo good. I only have to apologize for my teardrops on his T shirt ... I was like OMG !!!! you can imagine ? One of your favourite band members..Finally. I front of you. And so cute. !! AMAZING DAY !!!! Concert#4 Wembley Saturday June 18th Made it to the front row again , this time A Stage , Jonny s side . Getting in was a bit a crazy run, because doors opened differnetly I had a placard for him and he saw it and recognized me :crown: , gave me a sweet smile :bow: Before the show I ( and some other nice Coldplayers ) had the chance thx to Mike Vinnicombe from Chris Martin Campaign to be recorded for sth very special. I was feeling really honoured !!! The film will be have its premiere this year in London / Prag and is called “ Wings for Coldplay "..only Mila, Mike and COLDPLAY have seen it before…..and we were interviewed ..about what we like on Ghost Stories artwork, what Coldplay means to us..I thought I completely messed it up cause tears streamed down my face ( explain into a camera what Coldplay means to you ..getting too emotional) and my English left me…^^ But Peter Hirjak the regisseur later emailed me back that I did it really well and I am looking forward to the movie :) Concert #5 Wembley June 19th Made it to Bstage again ...the run from the gate to stage I did with one shoe and one foot on socks because s.o, stepped back on my shoe whilst pushing . Proud of myself I just took it off..otherwise it would have been lost, I guess ^^ Around me nice girls from Coldplaying ( Hello Batman :) ) which I met whilst queuing . sun in the morning but now it seems to be a rainy concert. But we didn’t mind. I got surprised by Atlas Project ! Got a Atlas T shirt with AHFOD style , like Chris and Jonny have on their T shirts :) The best rainy concert ever !! They played Always in my Head on Bstage and I was close to tears again because Jonny saw my placard and me again and smiled. During "Fix You "Chris saw my tshirt which says “ If you never try you will never know” and he gave me a sign he has seen it :) AND THEN.. They made their walk from Bstage to cstage during Kaleidoscope ( " be grateful for whoever comes " got a whole new meaning !!! ) and I got HIGH FIVE from Jonny, a sweet smile from Guy and I could touch all the boys on their shoulders. WHAT A MOMENT !! The other day , on my way back home to Germany, I got an email from Fraser, that he handed the gifts to Phil. !! They got it !! I was so happy !!! I CAN’T BELIEVE WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THIS TOUR !! IT’s LIKE ALL MY DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE !! I AM FEELING DRUNK AND HIGH ALL THE TIME !! To be continued in #ColdplayBerlin and #ColdplayHamburg And I am really excited what is going to happen next.. https://www.instagram.com/p/BG9mXvOAbO0/?taken-by=such_a_precious_jewel Well…on June 30th..there will be a recording for a video ( secret ) in Hannover, Germany,at the Eisstadion am Pferdeturm and they searched for background actors..and..I AM IN . .OMG. The adreanalin rush never stopps since June 1st. Concert #6 Berlin, Olympiastadion June 29th 2016 Arrived already June 28th and could do a sightseeing tour through a warm & sunny Berlin . Intuitive I started at the venue..I arrived and doors to the stadium were closed..but on my way from the underground to the stadium I saw a stage truck driving past by…my heart was going boboom again ...I asked a security guy about the early entrance for the next day and if it was possible to get in …he told me that in 10 minutes there would be a visitor tour, so I did it. AND … I was IN !! and I could see the stage build up LIVE . WOW !! For the little boy, who was in my group , a football fan , it was boring I think, especially we couldn’t see the team quarters because they already had changed into Coldplay Dressing room !! I asked if I could get a little view...but it was impossible-- https://www.instagram.com/p/BHMTgH_AquC/?taken-by=such_a_precious_jewel And I met a guy outside who is working for the Spidercam. Was a goosebump atmosphere…I took a lot of pics and video which posted on Instagram..I saw merchandise building up at a lot of stage trucks !! Next day as we had Early Entry ticktes which we should collect from 2pm on we arrived at half past 1. We got in about 5 minutes earlier than the rest with FOS / standing tickets. The stadium is really beautiful, it is open in the back, what was wonderful for the fireworks <3 https://www.instagram.com/p/BHQ3cN6Arc8/?taken-by=such_a_precious_jewel I had such nice people around me and ended up at my beloved place at B stage. Chris spotted my T shirt again during Fix You which says in black letters on whit background “ If you never try you will never know” and he got up, in my direction and said “ SHOW ME THAT T-SHIRT “…OMG. https://www.instagram.com/p/BHRhQvrj2_lk9M6JUrvrlvvtvfHK36_ZBjkbZE0/?taken-by=frarichetti Jonny spotted my German Flag and read it during one of my fav songs they perform on Bstage..it says. “ THERE’s A LIGHT THAT YOU GIVE ME WHEN I’m IN SHADOWS- COLDPLAY YOU ARE MY EVERGLOW “ and the other one who is for JONNY <3 BEST GUITARIST IN THE WORLD- JONNY YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEAD, EAR AND HEART. He nod his head into my direction and smiled..and when they walked from Bstage to C stage I got his hand again <3. https://www.instagram.com/p/BHQ3svEAkWx/?taken-by=such_a_precious_jewel I really think he recognized me .. I had dyed my hair very red with lilac for the tour…wanted to have rainbow colours but it was impossible..anyway I am lightning like a traffic sign..friends who where on different places in the stadium always recognized me ..^^ https://www.instagram.com/p/BHZ0tKoAyMZ/?taken-by=such_a_precious_jewel In that night I slept less than 45 minutes..because..I was one of 1200 lucky fans who got the option to be part of a video- shooting in Hannover, Eisstadion am Pferdeturm…Friday June 24th it was announced in newspapers and online…they got 10 000 applications and the server was going down … Hannover was on the way to Hamburg and we should be there 7am… So we arrived tired, hungry and it was very cold inside….a lot of press interviewing and filming us …..from 8 am to next 1pm it was our job to be a background actor and light up sparklers. We got exclusive T shirts which says in rainbow colours ( AHFOD style ) EVERGLOW..so we got the confirmation that it isa new video for the beautiful song EVERGLOW . Which makes me cry every time.. And also we got purple Love Buttons. The band was not there…I would have loved to see Chris Martin <3. But he said in an interview with NDR 2 later, they had the show in Berlin yesterday and he was so sorry , he had overslept ^^ ( and we didn’t sleep either although we have been to Berlin and were our way to Hamburg^^) But such a sweet excuse…you can’t be angry with him anyway..and I am so excited how the video will look like…like a winter landscape with ice scaters and the male one will be Chris later because the guy wore a green suit. http://rtlnord.de/nachrichten/neuer-videoclip-von-coldplay-entsteht-in-hannover.html Than on the way to Hamburg my bus was delayed and I was a bit exhausted, still cold and tired and feeling a bit alone cause I had to say Goodbye to so many friends who came extra for the video shoot ….arrived very late at my hostel…luckily in my room there was a girl, who had a standing ticket for the next day and to make it even better, she comes from a city nearby to my hometown... Magic !! Concert #7 Hamburg, Volksparkstadion July1st 2016 Arrived 6:50 am and had to figure out my gate by myself..because I had a collectors ticket and it didn’t say like te Wembley tickets which gate to queue. Stress !! Luckily we later got told by the security guy that there would be only ONE staircase and all the other fans would have much a longer way to get inside the stadium !! It was a bit cold and rainy the entire day …but when we got in…suddenly half an hour before Coldplay was on stage, blue sky came out ..and rain stopped ..Coldpay Karma..:loveshower: And I really thought you couldn’t top the London experience..BUT..again I ended up at Bstage in the best position!! With my Jonny fangirl #2 ..for who Jonny did the Whats App audio message in London when I met him…he promised to wear the green trousers for my friend Lea..AND HE DID IT !!!!!!!!!!!!! and he also wore this blue AHFOD shirt. It looks sooo good at him !!! https://www.instagram.com/p/BHaZMa5hqS8/?taken-by=42nd_coldplayer_ Lea and me were on cloud number 9 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE SAW OUR BALLONS WITH A THANK YOU MESSAGE AND I THINK HE UNDERSTOOD BECAUSE HE SMILED AT US AND WE BOTH GOT HIGH FIVE AGAIN on their walk from Bstage to C stage ! for me the 3rd Jonny High Five in a row <3 AND CHRIS…again during Fix You he saw my shirt again ( 3rd time in a row ) and Lea was wearing hers and he pointed his finger at us !! Mike the sweet camera man put us on big screen again with my shirt... https://www.instagram.com/p/BHfwwv7gkHq/?taken-by=such_a_precious_jewel My friend standing behind me recorded this very special moment !! And Chris stopped for 2 seconds at me on their way from B to C stage and I could touch him….But my heart was about to go like boboboboomn or to stop completely !!! https://www.instagram.com/p/BHVbOOHAYmd/?taken-by=aneleele https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkURHE0h8_Y ( FIX YOU ) We were soooooo HAPPY you can imagine!! https://www.instagram.com/p/BHVpwCmgcnQ/?taken-by=such_a_precious_jewel https://www.instagram.com/p/BHZ0nBCArxR/?taken-by=such_a_precious_jewel https://www.instagram.com/p/BHaCKL7gHfE/?taken-by=such_a_precious_jewel Back at home now its hard to go back to reality….this entire June month was so magical… And my xyloband started glowing July 2nd afternoon ..and still does!! I sleep with it on my writ every night because I am feeling a bit closer to the boys then... https://www.instagram.com/p/BHffVTAAvMJ/?taken-by=such_a_precious_jewel WOW, I am so grateful..happy and sad at the same time for this my Adventure of a Lifetime..! 7 concerts front row. And my 9th Coldplay concert so far..I hope they announce more European tourdates for 2017 !! There is so much love between the Coldplayers <3. Its so wonderful <3. I met a lot of old friends and got to know new amazing Coldplayers ! I really hope they will come back to Europe / Germany…Chris promised it in Hamburg..he said he loves playing I Germany and he is welcome anytime BEST BAND IN THE WORLD- THEY MADE MY MONTH - MY YEAR . THEY ARE MY LIFE , THEY MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH . <3. THEY ARE MY EVERGLOW :love: Friends of me say “ are you already working for them “ ? because I became like friends with Mike the camareman and his assistant Grant ( he recognized me every concert and put us on the screens , shaked hands ) and with the roadies..in Berlin we tried to meet the band at the hotel but only crew was staying there..I waited with my friend and a roadie came and we talked and he really thought we were crew members cause I was looking like someone from the catering and my friend would have looked like someone from Global Citizen . We should have hopped off into the tourbus !! :D I really would like to work for the best band in the world..but how to get this job ????? If anyone has an idea , please let me know.. so last week I wrote an email to Coldplay.com with a thank you message, because I was going through a very crazy and rough time the months before the shows..started in November 2015 til April 2016---.including that I was not sure if I could do all the concerts..I had trouble in my job and my self esteem was going low ...I never had an easy life as well, there was much illness and struggling with different things . Coldplay always was my light in all that darkness and will be forever. I am fan since 2002 but wasn't able to go to any concerts in the past because I was too weak ..first shows have been during Ghost Stories era ... And this year I made my dream come true with 7 shows :) So I wanted to let them know that each of the 2 hours concerts ( 14 hours at all ) I could forget all my sorrows and everything what hurts . They made me the happiest girl on earth in one month . I got an reply via e mail a few days later from Debs , with a signed pic in attechment . BEST BAND IN THE WORLD !!![/uSER] 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
