I also tried to get a setlist at the show in Cologne, but right after the gig, the security guys told everyone in the front rows to leave. :( They really seemed to be in a hurry to get everyone out of the building and they weren't very nice either... Has anyone managed to get the setlist from the show in Cologne??

bump... is there still nobody who has seen a picture of the setlist (or has managed to grab a copy) and who has a video of the very beginning of reign of love? i've looked all over the place on youtube, but there is no complete recording. i'd really appreciate it if someone could help me out! :)

Your recording is great! Thank you so much once again! :)

Thank you very much Becky! :) I'm also looking forward to hearing your version. :)

Here's the setlist once again: Life in Technicolor Violet Hill Clocks In My Place Speed of Sound Cemeteries of London Chinese Sleep Chant 42 Fix You Strawberry Swing God Put A Smile Upon Your Face Talk The Hardest Part Postcards From Far Away (instrumental) Viva La Vida Lost The Scientist Death Will Never Conquer (Viva La Vida Remix) Politik Reign of Love Lovers in Japan Death And All His Friends Yellow The Escapist :)

I actually wanted to upload the pictures after the concert in Paris back in June, but I could never figure out how to do it. Could you tell me so I know the next time?

Prior to the concert, I wrote them a letter asking if it was possible to dedicate a song to my girlfriend and me. I included the pictures I took with the band after their secret gig in Paris, so I was hoping that they might remember me. ;) Anyway, I gave the letter to some staff member but they couldn't promise anything. Chris ended up not saying my girlfriend's name but he said "this is for Peter" so I assume that they must have gotten my letter. :):):)

I know I should actually change my nick... it was just the name of the basketball team I played on about 10 years ago and I didn't really think about it when I signed up on this forum. ;) Has nobody taped the beginning of RoL on this forum either? I looked all over the place on youtube, but I couldn't find it. :( I would be soooo happy to have the dedication on video! :) What about the setlist, has anyone seen a copy floating around online or managed to get a copy? :) Thank you so much! :)

That's me... ;) Chris dedicated RoL to me and I would absolutely LOVE to have it on video!!! :):):)

thank you sooooo much for the audio and all the great videos of last night's show!!!!! :):) it was truly AMAZING!!!!! :) did anyone manage to get a copy of the setlist? only a few seconds after the show, i was pushed back by the security guys and nobody on the sidestage could help me out. ;) also, does anyone have a video of the very beginning of reign of love when chris says "this is for peter"? it would absolutely make my day to have that on video!!! :):)

oh well congratulations!!! :):) i didn't get an email and didn't get called up either. :( guess i didn't win... has anyone heard from radio nrj yet? if anyone happens to have a spare ticket, PLEASE let me know - I'd do anything to see them! ;)

that's a shame that you haven't heard from them either... :( i was just wondering because i knew that they would annonce the winners today... i would SOOOOO love to go on thursday b/c i already didn't win any tickets to the shows in london.

hey! has anyone heard from radio nrj or from w9 and thus won tickets? i have entered the competition and would do ANYTHING to see them on thursday... :) does anyone know if there's any other way of getting tickets to the show? please help me!!!

nooo :( they just said that coldplay didn't finish the video and thus they don't have it.... :(

My dream would come true if they played on July 14th in Paris b/c that's when they have a HUGE open air concert in front of the Eiffel tower. :) Last year, Nelly Furtado was also there (amongst others) and the whole thing was just incredible - I think there were something like 700,000 people at that concert. Considering the artwork and the themes of the new songs, there may be a tiny chance that this happens especially b/c they have a couple of days off around the 14th. :) But maybe I'm just dreaming b/c this would just be too amazing to be true. ;)

Well this is what was written in the billboard review of VLVODAAHF: "Viva La Vida" begins with a strident instrumental, "Life in Technicolor," built as much on an arpeggiated synth foundation as it is on an acoustic guitar melody. The same instrumental is tacked onto the final song, "Death and All His Friends," as a hidden track dubbed "The Escapist." I think they reviewed it after RS, so they may have changed LIT after all, but who knows... ;)

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS!!!! :) I absolutely love this song - this just made my day! :) :)

do you remember one of the video messages where jonny said "i predict railways will be big in the future"? it's weird because that song (or title or whatever it was meant to be) was never mentionned afterwards and who knows, maybe it will have something to do with the album as well?! ;)

has anyone heard of the CP song 'everything will be down'? i just found this on the website of a german radiostation: Coldplay arbeiten schon seit über einem Jahr an ihrem vierten Studioalbum, zusammen mit Brian Eno und Timbaland. Gerüchten zufolge soll die Platte "Prospekt" benannt werden und insgesamt schräger klingen als die drei Vorgänger. Es gibt schon eine ganze Liste an Songtiteln, darunter "Lost!", "Violet Hill", "Cemeteries Of London" und "Everything Will Be Down" (ein Duett mit Nicole Scherzinger). it basically says that coldplay have been working on their new album for over a year and that according to rumours, LP4 is going to be named prospekt (this article is from january when quite a few sources told us the same thing). and then it mentions all the songs that may end up on the album, but i've never heard of the last one before. anyone have some information on this? usually, einslive (the radio station) is a pretty reliable source, as coldplay have already done an acoustic session in 2002 for them and as they were also in charge of the buzz gig in cologne back in 2005.

1. Trouble 2. What If 3. The Scientist :)

Thanks for the pics. :)

Does anyone here have the setlist? Any changes?

1. See you soon 2. One I love 3. Such a rush

#1 Trouble #2 What If #3 Square 1

It just sounded like they wanted to release The Hardest Part as a single and maybe What If in just a couple of selected countries. Too bad it's not true because I personally think it's one of the best songs they've ever done. I'm sure they were planning on releasing it as a single (when the album came out) because they recorded it at TOTP for example along with Speed of Sound. To me, it seems like people either hate or love that song. I've been in love with it ever since I heard the recording of it at the Universal Amphitheatre in LA about a year ago. However, I think the album version is not nearly as good as any live version, so I think the guys would have had to spice up the studio recording a little bit. Maybe more people would have like it then. I just think the lyrics are great and IMO it's just a "classic" Coldplay song, like The Scientist or Trouble. So I'm not all that sure if only the most devoted Coldplay fans would like it if it was released as a single... I remember reading that it was in some top 20 (or even 10?) of the best songs of 2005 - no other song off X&Y made it on that list. Unfortunately, I can't remember who was in charge of that list, but I read it in the news section of this site ;)
