Absolutely, actually I didn't feel like I had truly seen Coldplay cause... it was so magical. When VH started a spray of spit arrived on the first rows and I was like ''wake up, that's really Coldplay in front of you''. And when he went down stage and sang just in front of us, beating the floor with his feet, it was so unreal. I almost felt like sharing a private moment with the band... I think I didn't really realised everything yesterday but today I just can't stop thinking about it, and Lovers in Japan is stuck in my head, I think I'll always keep one of those fluorescent butterflies in my wallet now ahah Ok I swear I'll stop speaking about it again and again :D

arlind : AHHH I'm glad there's finally someone else who was there to share feelings ! Yeah that was me and 2 others girls who I didn't even know but we quickly understood each other hehe I probably yelled lots of other things too though I wasn't the only one trying this when there was less noise in the venue, but I must admit our ''Merci Coldplay'' was successful :D Oh so maybe you're one of the person my friend and I talked to while waiting to enter the venue? Though I think this wasn't their first concert, nevermind... I'm surprised to learn some people were filming. My friend had his camera into his pocket but we felt like we didn't have choice but respect the rules, pity. On the left of the stage I can't really tell but around me it was true craziness, mainly cause of me and the girl next to me, so we were definitely singing the lyrics, but it seemed to me that lots of people didn't know ANY lyrics, not even Clocks ones, maybe Fix You ones but I'm not even sure!!! It seemed to me that the only song that made people react A LOT was VLV. Thank for reminding me of that sentence, I'm trying to remember every single thing they said but it's like impossible ;)

Oh... hell... hope someone will be able to rip this before the 5th of July (M6), will be hard to wait till that date ^^

so this is definitely The Goldrush ?

Well you're welcome, though now I'm reading this again I feel a little ashamed but well... I was far from Earth last night :D Legal Princess will you be able to rip this and make a divx file ? I mean something .avi or whatever ? I would greatly appreciate it !

VH (raté sur la fin) Clocks VLV (ou 42 d'abord je ne saurais le dire) 42 Tout petit début The Scientist Fix You Lovers in Japan (LiT fond sonore quand ils traversaient le public)

C'est moi que tu attends sur msn :) ? je n'y suis pas souvent, d'ailleurs je n'ai pas ton adresse, et pour couronner le tout, appareils photos et téléphones étaient interdits donc photos il n'y a pas (à part la salle vide à la fin, pas bien intéressant), sorry ! Je vais aller me coucher je suis morte !

Oh trop la honte si on m'identifie... j'hésite à le dire lol ! On va dire que tu chercheras une fille aux cheveux court et un haut noir au 2eme rang du coté de Jonny. J'espère que l'on ne me verra pas mais d'un autre coté ça serait dément de se voir sur une vidéo avec Coldplay. Je changerais peut être d'avis en voyant (ou non) ma tronche à l'écran :D

Yeah sure she was! She couldn't translate the word ''mood'' in French (that's not the hardest thing to do), and Chris told her something like ''our album may be our best one but if it was a Beatles album it would be the worst'' (that wasn't the exact sentence but the main idea) and she translated with a ''that's their best album for now but could become the worst of their albums in the future, we never know...'' Guess she'll be cut on TV XD

J'ai posté une review dans la partie ''Coldplay'' du forum mais elle est un peu naze (comme moi en ce moment héhé). Bah heu brièvement : c'était court, intense, spécial, drôle. Chris était particulièrement amusant puisque tout comme nous il avait du mal à suivre les désirs de la production qui nous faisait faire des trucs un peu débiles (applaudir un concert qui n'a pas encore eu lieu...etc). Jonny a eu du mal à s'imposer. Will très sympa. Guy dans les vapes. Musicalement parlant ça va être difficile à décrire sachant que c'était très court et je n'étais déjà plus trop sur terre. J'ai pas eu l'impression que c'était foiré comme leurs premières prestations télévisées (mais depuis Brixton ils semblent au point). J'étais au 2eme rang donc j'entendais la vraie voix de Chris, pas le son des enceintes, mais je pense qu'au fond de la salle ils entendaient que dalle sachant qu'au niveau acoustique ce n'était pas vraiment fait pour les gens dans la salle mais plutôt les téléspectateurs selon moi. C'était juste trop bien :D

oui Lofti !

Aucune idée, ils ont 3 jours avant d'aller à NY maintenant je crois mais je ne suis même pas sure qu'ils soient encore en France. La vitesse à laquelle les techniciens rangeaient le matos était impressionnante en 20 tout était presque plié ! Le concert a fini vers 20h45 ou 21h donc ils peuvent très bien être repartis rapidement... Je ne sais pas, les VIP étaient restés dans la salle donc peut être qu'il pouvaient rencontrer le groupe après ? A la fois j'en doute. Sinon musicalement parlant, oui, 6 c'est court et décevant mais finalement on les a vu si près, si naturels, que c'est plutôt ça qui a rendu l'expérience assez incroyable. J'hallucinais complètement, c'est juste indescriptible. J'habite en région parisienne juste après Saint Denis et j'étais en voiture avec un pote donc aucun problème ^^

Cameras weren't allowed DURING the concert so unfortunately we'll have to wait for the video on TV, though I can show you the pics I took of the empty venue with my phone but it's not that fascinating :D Btw in order to made us more excited before the show the guy told us ''enjoy cause we just learnt it would be the only concert in France'', we all yelled it was false. Oh I remember few other things : Chris said that his fav artist was George Bush, a shitty guy in politic but who made great songs in the 80's. He also answered the first question that he couldn't get a thing of french... Anyway lots and lots of things have been said and I won't be able to remember everything. It's better to remember the performance; though 6 songs being short I kept very good memories of that unusual TV experience :)

O-M-G I so have to write here my experience cause I wanna remember what I lived for a long time (the best part being what we won't see on tv) So I arrived like 1 hour before the gig, few persons were already there, I made a joke about VIP people who could be ''stars'' from the French Idol before noticing one was precisely next to me, what a shame lol ! We signed a contract to allow them filming us for TV (funny point : the contract mentioned it was a ''Cold-Play'' gig... great) We entered around 17:30 gave our names, phones and everything and they let us go in the venue around 18h. Then a guy started to explain us we were not in a real concert but mainly ON TV so there would be rules. It was great cause the stage wasn't high like in concerts venues, and there was NO barrier so we felt really close to the stage, I mean, yeah more than close : there was just a black line on the floor and they told us the main thing to do was not to cross the line at any moment. They explained we were going to have lotsa things to film before the gig, like applauding, yelling, few times (with different lights and everything). It lasted like 2 hours and was pretty exhausting. They explained we had to stay ''fresh'' and that we would film things in no special order, so we would have to applaud Coldplay as if it was the end of the show before it had even started. Anyway it turned out to be a really nice experience : While they were making us applaud for the 999th time we suddenly noticed the band was going down the stairs and I realised we weren't actually making lotsa noise before compared to the current craziness. They arrived and after staring at us Chris asked in the mic what they were supposed to do now :D He added for us that he was sorry not to start straight away so we would have to be patient. During the following 20 minutes the band was as confused as us with all those TV things, we all had to do pretty stupid things and the band, just like us, started to find it funny. So a girl came on stage cause Chris was asking for help and explained they all had to take their instruments and do as if they were ending a song in order that they could pretend to do an interview in the middle of the concert. Will made a really funny face like ''what the fuuuuuck'' and the other guys found the situation very funny. Chris said it wouldn't seem real on TV cause he wasn't wet yet (and indeed he only needs 1 song to be wet XD) It was amazing to live this as a Coldplay fan cause we were seeing them just like normal and surprised people and they were laughing just like us, and with us. Chris was speaking to us as if we knew better than him what was happening, using the occasion to apologize for his ''bad'' french...etc Anyway so Chris started to play bullshit on the guitar but realised he didn't really know what to do and the TV girl wasn't coming on stage so he stopped, probably feeling ridiculous and asked her when the hell she would join them on stage, then they were asked to try this again. So they played shit for 10 sec and we were all applauding this while laughing and the girl came on stage. She asked them how was this french crowd and Will answered we were perfect or something like this which made everyone laugh. Everything was quite ridiculous, but at the same time quite impressive, I mean I'm never going to see them like this again... amazing ! Then they were informed (still in front of us) that people in the venue were going to ask them questions, Chris laughed emphasizing that it would be long to answer 2000 questions (ok we were just around 400 ahah). Anyway quite disappointing for fans cause those people were actually people chosen by the TV (belonging to the staff I guess) who had been put in the crowd just for this ''interview'' and left straight after the cameras stopped filming them. The questions were quite the same as usual : why Viva La Vida, are you still gonna be there in 10 years, did you really see ghosts while working on the album (Chris answered they're living in an old part of London where sometimes you meet ghosts and sometimes you don't XD), why Delacroix...etc The girl was translating what they were saying SOOO BADLY, quite hilarious. Guy seemed like ''absent''(dreaming), I mean he was staring at the crowd a lot (he even stared at me which made me feel uncomfortable though I'm not those kind of guy-addict girls hehe) and when Chris spoke to him he didn't even react. Jonny couldn't say a word, the girl totally ignored him. Chris was sooo funny, making jokes and crazy faces, he asked to receive a question from a beautiful girl in the first rows, he was always staring at the person with the mic to let her know if the question was good or not by smiling or trying to look worried... Anyway I totally loved that moment. So she left the stage and told them they could start but when Chris was about to grab his guitar someone came to tell him ''6''; he seemed surprised that LiT has been taken off the setlist so we all yelled ''NOO 7...8...10... 20 !'' so Chris smiled and the girl had to come back explaining he really had to sing only 6 songs. So, a little disturbed, he told us (always half in french half in english, sooo bloody cute) that now we could start but he was wondering how he could make as if they had just arrived on stage. Still a little lost, he asked for help from the girl, then we all started to yell and applaud in order to help. He said ''Ok DIX... NEUF... HUIT...'' and we finished 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 in french cause he didn't seem able to do it ahah And here it was, VH (which Chris missed at the end) ! I decided to act as if I wasn't on TV so I was jumping around and singing out loud. SOOO GOOD. The sound was not really loud, I felt that it wouldn't be that cool at first but it turned out to be an interesting experience : closer to the band, closer to the music... Well I can't precisely remember the setlist but as far as I remember Clocks followed. The staff had to move the piano so Chris spoke to us in french while it was happening, so so cute. Someone yelled ''I love you'', he answered that this person wouldn't love him anymore if she really knew him. Clocks was awesome, we could clearly see how Chris was playing with the TV cameras, quite interesting. Then huuu I guess we had 42 and VLV, he spoke about Will, who's always in the background and would now came closer to the crowd. Everyone went crazy on VLV, even first row young girls who seemed to know that song only. He started to sing a piece of The Scientist, we followed but he stopped saying they hadn't played this for 2 years. So they finished with Fix You (oh my fucking god, awesome it's really different from a stadium concert). He even came down the very-little-stage and sang just in front of us, beating the floor with his feet in a so intense way while we were jumping crazily, we could totally touch him but we didn't cause... hell we were on TV... though I was reaching heaven, I mean sprays of spit were actually landing on first rows, that illustrates how close we were and how much we felt like actors of the show too. Chris thanked lotsa people in French and when he finished, a girl as crazy as I was turned to me an said ''ok 3 2 1 go'' and 3 of us yelled ''Merciii Coldplayyy'', Chris tried to turn his head in our direction and thanked us, wuh ! And last but not least Lovers in Japan, which I adored especially at the end : I knew there would be butterflies confettis but I didn't know about the fluorescent ones in the dark... was so magical ! While we were applauding our idols a girl arrived next to me and told us ''move move I want two groups, they're going to cross the crowd'' WUHUUUU And indeed, they went down and walked next to us, I felt like it would be ridiculous to try to touch them so I let Jonny pass his way but everyone started to touch Chris and the other guys so I shamefully did the same touching their shoulders, I wasn't really thinking at this time, I was just in heaven XD Took time to get out of the venue, I took few pics of the empty place and ''Coldplay boxes'' on which it was still written ''Brixton'' and left with few coloured butterflies :) I'm sad I already forgot what Chris said to us cause he spoke a lot and it's not going to appear on tv, though it'll stay a very nice memory. I apologize cause that review must be full of English mistakes but I lost a piece of my brain tonight :D I FUCKING LOVE THEM XD XD XD

C'ETAIT ENORMEEEEE ON A VU LE GROUPE COMME ON NE LE VERRA JAMAIS ! Je vais poster une review en anglais dans le topic du concert... holalala c'était court (6 chansons) mais tellement inattendu, trooooop bien !

Oh ! Very good news cause I actually didn't give the right name of my friend :D So that's why they want us to come that early ? I guess we'll have instructions and they'll probably take our phones off, as usual -_-

Link (or another very similar article) So... they'll perform during 50 min ?!

Of course guys I'm posting information, I would have loved to find some if I hadn't won. So that girl from NRJ (and not W9 which announced the results would be on the 16th indeed) called me asking if I still wanted to see Coldplay as far as I played to win tickets. She told me to be at the Dock Hausmann at 17:15 on Thursday with a friend, I asked if I could come alone she answered that I HAD to tell her the name of the person coming with me and that if I wasn't giving her another name she wouldn't give my the ticket. So I asked her some time and she called me back later explaining she really needed those names on a list... She said I would have to be there : Dock Hausmann 50 avenue du président Wilson 93 La Plaine Saint Denis. Actually that's pretty much all, she didn't repeat what was written on W9 website about identity card so I don't know if they're really going to check our identity. I couldn't hear her clearly so I'm not sure I won thanks to the website game or thanks to the fact I sent like 20 or more smses and called the radio. That's it ! I tried to find more about the venue and IT SEEMS that around 3000 people can fit in there, which is surprising cause it was written there would be 37(x2) winners on W9 and I think I heard 200(x2) on NRJ, so who else will be there ? Don't wanna make you loose your time but maybe it worth the try of going there and wait till they let you enter, I don't know, good luck anyway !

Jeudi vers 11h30 du matin puis vers 12h30 quand j'ai demandé à être appelée de nouveau, je crois que j'ai gagné par NRJ, pas par W9.

Bon et bien changement de programme XD Excitant mais à la fois risqué pour mes exams..

double post :/ must be too excited, sorry

HOLY SHIT I WON 2 TICKETS TOO! I couldn't believe it, I wasn't even understanding the girl on the phone as I was in the subway and had to wait for her to call me back cause it was such a mess in my head. Anyway I'm definitely going to see them on thursday SINGING LAAA LALALA LAAAALAYYYY

Something happened during Lovers, we could hear a strange sound, confettis or whatever
