I ran away

Whoa, calm down. By the way, there is a thread about this issue, where detailed and well-argued thoughts by different forum members can be found: http://coldplaying.com/forum/index.php?threads/should-music-fans-stop-filming-gigs-on-their-smartphones.97684/ So you can see the future (inside a glass of water;)) ? I can only speak for myself, but I certainly don't delete any footage from a concert I have taken, and I can imagine that any halfway dedicated fan would also not delete his Coldplay footage. Again, you generalize - based on what ? I know that may of us frequently go back to watch their videos. A concert can be an overwhelming and surreal experience, often you only take in small details when you rewatch the videos and this can make the concert experience and the concert joy last longer. I'm a relatively small person, so if I capture it "at eye-level", I can just as well leave it. Now I don't stretch out my arms to the sky, but just so much that I am not holding the camera against the back head of the usually much taller person in front of me. When I rewatched my stuff I see things that I respect everybody's right to take photos or a video, and personally I think it is no more annoying than having heads in front of you, which happens all the time during concerts. Surely everybody needs to strike a balance between living the moment and capturing for posterity, but I think everybody has his own preferences. And believe it or not, not everyone who takes videos is inconsiderate ! I climbed onto chairs a few times to be able to actually see the main runway, but I always checked that the seats in several rows behind the chair I chose were deserted. Once (when I was filming from the normal level again) I even asked a couple who was standing directly behind me if I blocked their view. So don't generally lash out against the video-takers with insulting words, thank you very much.

Anyone want Coldplay to reunite with their old sound? Anyone want Coldplay to reunite with their old sound? Anyone want Coldplay to reunite with their old sound? . . . . ..............yessssssssssssssssssss ! :D

In our concert, many people moved from their seats and stood in the aisles closer to the stages (thats how i managed to go to the C-stage :D). I think it has advantages because you don't have to queue for hours on end. I felt I had enough space to dance. I could often not see the main stage at all :( since I am short, but I expected this problem to occur because I knew nobody was gonna stay seated, and this situation is no different from a GA. Some less enthusiastic people were occasionally sitting down. I was able to climb and stand on a chair at the edge a few times, despite the signs not to...Only after the 3rd/4th time (near the end, during Amazing Day) did a security person tell me to climb down. Security was pretty relaxed in our concert. If I had known that before, I would have left my seat immediately and stood closer to the main stage from the beginning.

No... OK, I will give a clue now: The action is in the title of the song.

Nice thread ! I would go to the X&Y Era, because I love the songs of this Era most (closely followed by AROBTTH) and the whole style (clothing with dark shirts and wide trousers, the equality sign drawing and tapes on the hand....) was so "unfashionable" that it was good ! It was more about the music and less about the show (not that I don't like the show effects of recent years, but it just gives it a completely different vibe imho). The band was at the peak during that time, I think. I would also like to visit the AROBTTH Era. Again very simple and unassuming in style but meaningful in its music. Chris's live vocals at their best, back then. And the shows started with Politik !

Finally got to hear these two Oldplay gems live. Especially the acoustic version of In My Place worked well imho, it gave me that warm AROBTTH feeling...and then GPASUYF with the distorted chords, now that is the Coldplay we used to know !

My favorite part of the show:

Oooh, so self-made ones ! Nice !! :D

Hm, I guess it would make sense to put a "with" before the "the", then !

Cool ! Just curious, what kind of shirts were you wearing ?

X Marks The Spot (it just came up on shuffle and i was surprised how emotionally laden it was for me...it reminds me of the desolate, cold and lonely winter 2015/16 during which I first heard it and of my alienation at the time... :-/)

A view from the top, a view from the ground

Don't worry, during the MetLife show he just said that Bruce Springsteen is the greatest artist int the world. I think out of politeness he says that about every big artist he likes :)

No more keeping my feet on the ground !

Tonight I will be uploading some videos from the concert ! Please excuse the sound trouble, my phone did not always seem to be able to deal with the heavy stadium sound... Also, I was jumping around while filming and far from the main stage, so if you look for a clear and detailed video, look elsewhere ! Here is the first one:

oops, I was too late :D For Charlie Brown,I think: Xylobands !!!! Harmless

Exactly how I feel ! :D

Thanks, then it was @Coeurli and not Christa, sorry !

Sadness and the pure beauty of Chris voice in this song ! Harmless

Thanks for posting, never seen this vid before !

Nice video ! Did Chris do this on purpose though ? :D

the riff in the original live version 2001 A Head Full Of Dreams

Fix You !!!! :D

Sure I could, but I remember that somebody (was it @Christa42 ?) has already uploaded the entire booklet in a thread. Unfortunately I cannot remember which thread it was, can somebody perhaps link it here ?
