I ran away

Ah thanks! Detuned English, wow. I didn't realize it but i will try listening again. And yeah I know The Planets very well, one of my all-time favourite orchestral suites (especially love Jupiter, Venus and Saturn)! Fun fact, I always thought the guitar/piano melody of the live version of Animals (starting at 0:42 here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASXvUpNcl-w) sounds like a melody in Saturn (starting at 7:07 here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO5sB56rfzA

Thanks! Also, you have an impeccable song taste hehe

Found this new audio file hidden in a code page, an excerpt from a Sherlock Holmes story which was uploaded only a few hours ago! https://alienradio.fm/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/ARFM-x94e.mp3

You mix up A L I E N S and Arabesque. The rhythm section of Arabesque was created in a jam while Brian Eno had kicked CM out of the studio ?

Is that Swedish? Can you translate what it says about Holst?

That is an intriguing idea! I had a completely different idea about it:

Viva had Lost? (the acoustic version), at least my Japanese version of Viva has it. White Shadows, Speed of Sound and the Talk video would like a word?

Coldplayers right now:

It has some resemblance to the piano that is buried in the mix at the beginning of Champion of the World, but it's not identical.

Yeah, that's really unfortunate. I'm not a massive Eurovision fan but to choose the one evening where we already had a live event to spend the time with... I admit it took me a long time of thinking if I would buy a ticket or not, because 23 EUR for a livestream with probably max. 40 mins of Coldplay is a lot of money, but in the end I did. I know the performance will be recorded and shared as it always happens, and that someone might even stream the performance live for free, but I decided to pay the money to get the whole Glastonbury feeling and experience! I'm really excited now. Pretty sure the whole festival will be cool. I hope the weather on Worthy Farm will be good that day and we'll get tons of nice atmospheric shots.

Oh please no Dua Lipa on a Coldplay album. One of the most talentless and shallow pop sensations to emerge in my humble opinion (next to Ariana Grande). II'm not too keen about collabs in general, but Rihanna and Beyoncé were in a different league. I wouldn't mind someone like Brittany Howard either. I agree with what was said above about the collabs on EL being collabs done just right. If they have to do collabs, more of that type please and less of the ones with a current pop hype. (also sorry to all Dua fans, it's great that you see something in her and love her but I simply don't and this is my honest opinion - don't kill me for it) For Ken Nelson ever returning the chance is probably 0,0%, but it would be my dream come true. He was the best producer Coldplay ever worked with imho, the sound of the first two to three albums is just out of this world. I'm excited about Glastonbury, but simply for seeing the guys again, not because I think they will play new songs. Years and years of experience with Coldplay just tells me you should never expect new songs ? so yeah, I expect a greatest hits with maybe one lesser played song or something. And I think it will be awesome to be virtually present at this mythical place. The director of the livestream is Paul Dugdale btw, who did GS Live and Live in Jordan.

Look in Your Direction Flags

Knowing them, they are honestly probably relieved they don't have to fly everywhere and accompany Chris to every little appearance (not saying the Grammys are a little appearance, but rather talking about all these small solo performances Chris does here and there). They quite like being out of the public eye and having privacy and time for their families. I can assure you when Chris performs alone he has the full support and approval of the band, don't worry about it ?

I have no idea, it unfortunately happens sometimes to innocent posts like yours. These days we have a lot of spam thrown at us though - most of it you'll never see because the filter catches most of the spam posts and hides them until approval, but sometimes it seems to also catch the wrong posts. Anyway, I approved your post. About Will's backing vocals sounding the same - they are in all likelihood prerecorded. Doesn't mean Will can't sing, but in the masterclass he once gave he explained that as a drummer it sounds better if he pre-records because otherwise the loud drum sounds interfere with the vocal sounds. P.S. I see we now have links to our Twitter profiles! That's awesome

With all due respect, I think too much is being read into the exact times Angel Lopez screenshot the songs and the respective lyrics or numbers etc. Not everything is a secret message. I for one thing he just listened to and shared some songs he liked.

Great find! this seems like the most likely explanation for the FFTF2024 in the booklet. Maybe it's an action plan from this initiative setting a goal for 2024, or maybe Coldplay have committed to make their tours environmentally beneficial (i.e. actively improving the environmental situation, rather than just having no effect) by 2024.

They might not even know about it yet. Their website design is maintained by a design agency called Rabbit Hole and they probably aren't aware of this.

Page doesn't work for me?

It's indeed from Coldplay live acoustic at Cafe Kultcomplex in Cologne, 2002!

My favourite is their set at the Isle Of Wight Festival 2006. Twisted Logic Tour is my favourite tour, and in that festival there was such a great mood and energy, listening or watching the available video parts is a delight and lifts my mood like no other live performance. The cover of Perfect Day is just the icing on the cake that makes it the perfect concert. If I could only time travel back to one Coldplay concert in all of time and stand in the front row, that would be it.

Spies (Live at Glastonbury 2002) vs A Rush Of Blood To The Head (Live 2003)

Don't worry, the entire set can be seen here in high quality:

Yeah, they just broadcast VLV. What a disappointment. When i saw that, i decided not to stay up until 4AM lol
