It's been removed from Ticketmaster... I guess that means no Coldplay for me. Yet again. :(

Both bestbuy.com and Ticketmaster think Coldplay are playing in St. Louis on November 15th, but it's not on Livenation or coldplay.com... Does anyone have any other information on this? (Sorry if there's already a thread. I searched!)

After the second "Locust wind..." part of "Reign of Love", the booklet has "...", but he's clearly saying something... Strange. Edit: But I've re-listened to all the other debated lines, and the booklet seems to be correct.

You still get to see them, yet you're mad? What about the folks that can't go at all because of schedule changes?

Some of the lines we've been debating... aren't what I expected to say the least.

Yep. It's July 23rd, which means I can't go..................

This is the best interview I've heard them do on this tour... Great!

MENTION! AND QUESTIONS!

Thanks, Ben, for obliging all the crazies here. ;) And thanks for exposing us to a radio show worth listening to!

I just noticed that Reign of Love was the first song (with lyrics, anyway) eliminated in the "Releases Forum" game... Sad.

Guy: "...a bit flat."

Parachutes: Shiver A Rush of Blood to the Head: Politik X&Y: White Shadows Viva la Vida: TBD, but at the moment "42" (It changes with every listen.)

Hmm. That's certainly an interesting perspective! Would you mind to elaborate/specify a little bit?

"It's a bit flat."

Well, it is the European release date.

This board's newest obsession is about to become Woody Allen films.

Here it is:

It does a bit... And didn't Chris once say "Fairytale of New York" was the best holiday song ever written?

Probably about... six or seven times. I'm actually debating right now whether I should listen to it again or go to sleep.

I'd really love it if they'd mix in some b-sides on this tour... They've never done much of that in the past, but I'm hoping that changes this time around.

Here's something to keep in mind: The current Coldplay is the type of band they want to be. As Chris said, they are "obsessed" with making songs that can be sung to the stadium rafters. If the band had the money they have now when they made Parachutes, it would likely be very similar to what we're hearing on VLVODAAHF.

This one doesn't have Chris and Jonny in it, but it's another clip of the "film":
