...the arena darkened! We listened to a Waltz (I think?) and I was like:"Oooh yeah, now it begins!" and THEN I saw Roadie #42 walking over the stage! He played a little bit on Chris' keyboard and laughed, then he went over AT OUR PLACE to the corner of the stage and placed there a little camera or something like that! I think, well I HOPE, that he will post a little video of the beginning of the show, maybe Julia and me will be on the vid then, yay

Roadies dissappeard, the giant curtain moved down, magicballs over our heads, roadies in the light machines hanging above our heads (it looked just crazy) and then LIT went out of the big sound boxes. The arena went bonkers, and we too of course! Chris, Jonny, Guy and Will started the show really awesome, Chris was jumping around (as always ^^) and well, IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE! Because it was our first Coldplay concert, we can't really concentrate on everythig now! I will just write down the most important things which I kept in my mind, okay?

Those songs here are NOT in order, because my brain is pudding right now

So they played LIT, Violet Hill, Clocks, SOS, Strawberry swing, VLV, GPASUYF (techno version), Hardest Part (piano), Talk (again this remix on the funky light stage), Postcards from far away, cemetries of london, 42, reign of love, then up in the arena, they played The scientist, Death will never conquer me, Lost! LIJ, Death and all his friends, and they played an Encore, YELLOW! [thanks Twisted mind]

More on this show here onwards [thanks Larry & FlorianLey]
