LVI56

Great meeting you too Tracy, and Joe. Video is taking way longer than expected, been about 4 hours and the first one isnt even finished uploading yet.

Uploaded some more pictures, video still uploading:

Uploading my videos now, Should have them all up by tomorrow.

From Anaheim:

Morning after the show now. Sucks the soundcheck wasn't that great krissy, can you confirm they checked LITii? All up until Fix You I was in my regular seat when a girl asked me if I could switch places with her boyfriend who was a row down on the aisle. I moved and was able to get a much better view of the stage and some great video. Though I was very suprised how many people will leave in the middle of the show to get beer...seriously wtf? Anyway, been going through my video, I caught Chris singing part of Human during VLV. Video is really great and clear quality minus a few people getting in the way and all the flashing lights causing it to go out of focus. Got 8 videos, most of them are two or three songs each. Problem is they are well over 200mb in size, so it will take a while to convert to a manageable and uploadable size. Should have something later today but now off to work. Uploaded some more pics: Click for larger, might have to wait a min for them to load. Coldplayers are welcome to save/show my pics.

Couldn't resist posting some pictures. More to come tomorrow. Video will take a while...Around 150-200mb files. Click for larger image:

I just got home. As everyone knows now, standard set. Was wandering around a few hours before the doors opened when talkingonsquareone and jsalyers found me. We hung out for a bit by the roadies but were too nervous to ask for upgrades. Got in, hung out for a bit before sleepercar came on. Jon Hopkins was a nice suprise, didn't hear anything about him being there. Coldplay was awesome. I somehow managed to get my big digital camera with 12x zoom by security. Got lots of pictures and video. Talkingonsquareone....I got video of Will singing backup with Chris on Hardest Part. We lost you trying to get to the floor to get some butterflies...we got plenty. Went to ask for a set list but they were out, lucky you got one. Pictures and lots of video to come tomorrow. By the way, while waiting outside we heard the soundcheck. Defiantly heard LITII and a techno Square One.

I'm leaving in a few minutes. A Reminder... Parking is $15 and for anyone going early: "Q. When does the Honda Center parking lot open for events? A. Our main gate (Gate 3, North side of the building) is usually open three hours prior to the doors of the arena opening. For most events, all parking gates will be open one hour prior to the doors of the arena opening. The main gate (Gate 3, North side of the building) is always open to box office and Ducks Team Store guests." Thats at about 3:30 Doors open 6:30

I'll be leaving about 2. little over an hour drive, but i expect 2 hours maybe more driving though rain and the recent fire area. so arrive about 4.

Hope they play Rainy Day cause its raining...that would be perfect!

Yay it's morning....and its raining. Hopefully it will clear up and be replaced by butterflies. I'll be there about 4 or 5. blue shirt, green jacket.

Tomorrow! 1 day!!!!

I can't wait to watch...now that i know exactly how long into the show when they are on.

I'll be there a few hours early too, about 5 sounds right. Nothing like waiting in anticipation.

That girl was happy, nice to know some of the tickets went to some true fans. Can't wait to hear what Krissy has to say about the meet and greet.

Haha its great reading everyones reaction watching it now, I still have about 3 hours till it's on. Atleast i'll know which parts to mute and which parts to just shut of the tv...then Coldplay with volume at full throttle!

Well that was the last chance to win. I was on hold for about 5 minutes, then it went silent, then i heard background music like someone picked up...then dial tone...ugh.

I agree, they win two. about 5 hours till it's on here, 2 hours for east coast....not fair!

Not too sure, either they can hold it till after the show or let you take it back to your car.

I hope for LIT II would be great, I saw somewhere it may be the next single. So far I cannot find a schedule for the performances or a live internet stream. I hate that it's being broadcasted live from the west coast for the east coast but 3 hours delayed for the west coast...???

I say bring it and hope for the best. The camera I'm bringing is much larger than the one I brought in 06. I'll keep it in my jacket pocket, If like last time they make you remove everything from pockets then I'll just hold it and hope they don't say anything.

Yes they saw the camera.

When I saw them there in 06 the staff searched everyone. did a bag search, made you take everything out of your pockets and swiped everyone with a wand detector thingy. There were signs posted about no cameras. I had a small digital, some people had more advanced digital cameras and got in just fine. I think they will pass still cameras unless they are the huge professional cams. Though at that time I was there two hours before doors opened, the staff pulled 25 of us, did their search and lined us up in 5 rows of 5 people...we all thought we were going to get something for being early but we were just the first to go in lol.

Hope they do LIJ with confetti everywhere....maybe do Viva too?

Finally got the web player working. busy signal...ugh...hate it. But at least I have something to do for the weekend now.
