A picture of the band standing on a railway track is the one you have on your sig Natascha, isn't it? :thinking: edit: this

Me neither :uhoh: Aaaaanyway, good news on the horizon, their comment on their last Facebook image posted They would be able to have another album ready in one week if they follow the timing of We Are Here :P

Can't seem to find any of the pro-shot gigs with that version of Politik besides Toronto, maybe it's the KROQ performance, it's not a pro-shot but it could slightly look like one [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qvlLuuuxnA]Coldplay - KROQ Almost Acoustic X-mas (11-12-2005) ( part 1 )[/ame]

Oh it's a video then, ok, I'll keep searching, there were not too many gigs professionally recorded :D

He sang that part during Jonny's solo in a lot of gigs from the Twisted Logic tour, is there any particular reason why you want the version from the flag thing gig (have no idea what gig is that one tough)?

It doesn't seem to be Guy at least comparing this voice with Apparatjik's Electric Eye where he sings, but then again I didn't recognise it was him in that song, however since Will sings the backing vocals live for this Christmas Lights I agree with the others that it's him

So much deserved, I really can't count how many times files in MM where nowhere to be found and he came and posted a link. Thanks again for your great help :nice: P.S. I love the screen name in yellow :awesome:

Oh yes I've already seen yours and they're really good :D

I love this question, I never thought that Mr. Bean could have a first name :wacko:

Maybe that thing about the German festivals was said when some people met him the day after the video shooting? Because yes, I've never heard about it in any interview either :shrug:

Ahhaha I thought the same, might be because I'm surrounded by pregnant women :laugh3: :laugh3: Anyway, Amsterdam on the setlist is a greeeeat news :awesome: this!

Great pics Mimi :nice: This is Politik, the person who uploaded them didn't mention any of the titles but the videos are great :D [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XF2HFx_nEA]YouTube - Coldplay Liverpool Royal Court 19th December Crisis at Chrisrtmas Hidden Gig[/ame] I'm trying to find videos for all the songs and try to edit a DVD, but no one uploaded Lost! and Cemeteries of London so far :(

I'm liking the sound of it, 7 minutes to go :D edit: 6

Because I "work" with Pat at Coldplayzone and know when he sent the questions :wink:

I'm quite sure he answered the questions after :)

As far as I know it was only available for one day, they had a limited quantity to be bought online and it was sold out in that time frame. At least 5 people at the apparatchick forum bought it, me included :) I'm sure the Serpentine Gallery in London was selling them, but at £350 plus vat and shipping, so uhm, even more expensive.

Nice review so far Anna, and yes that girl was me :) And Jason, that's awesome you got to tell Jonny Blacky is in safe hands and that the trip was worth it, at least you Carrie, and Oz didn't have problem getting there and be back home, too bad for Amanda though :(

Finally managed to upload my video of Shiver, it took me five hours :blank: Shiver @ Liverpool And I'm gonna upload a few other pics in a minute :nice: @Mich: I have a Kodak Z1012 IS, it's a bridge camera, I don't think it's worth it to spend a lot of money on a SRL camera if you don't have a clue how to make use of all its functions..like me :lol:

Thank you, being front row helps, but considering you took yours from way up there're absolutely stunning :D Of course you can :nice:

Slowly uploading my pics here (it should be working for everyone, tell me if it's not) http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=261532&id=627276178&l=08edfac855 little preview will do the rest tomorrow :)

Jeez Anna, they're..uhm..big :awesome: Ok so Christmas lights from the soundcheck is here http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=473133421178 I will try to upload Shiver but it might take agees as it's really heavy

Awesome pictures you have, and congrats again for being one of the VIP, I will try to ask the italian guy I met that day and who won a VIP ticket to post here :) Ok, I'm not gonna write a review as my memory already begin to fail about that day. Friday and Saturday last week have been a nightmare coming true. I had been following the weather forecast for days, I was not even worried about the snow fallen in Venice on friday as our airport was working perfectly despite it, but Easyjet decided that because of possible heavy snow fall in London on saturday morning, my flight was cancelled. I tried to find a solution while coming back home from work and saw that Ryanair had a flight at 22.35 that night from another airport that we have in the area. I threw a few things in my luggage already half prepared and took the shuttle to the airport. The queue to buy the tickets was insanely long as the ticket desk was also for people who had to change their cancelled flight. Time was passing and if I wanted to buy the ticket I had to go up to the first in line and beg them to make me go ahead of them, and they thankfully did. As I said I don't even tought about the price of the ticket, I just wanted to get to the UK as soon as possible. Went through check-in, metal detector and onto the waiting lounge. At 1 am the flight was cancelled. I didn't have means to get back home, so I got in the queue again to try and find another flight to any city in the UK. I was feeling like a zombie, and when it was my turn the girl at the desk told me the first flight to London was at the same time the day after, I asked her if there was any other departing from other italian cities. There was one for Liverpool from Milan...on December 20th, which I of course declined, but then a Treviso-Leeds flight was scheduled for saturday at 1.15 pm and I decided to take that one, hoping the weather there was better. I didn't sleep a lot that night, I guess you can imagine airports are not the best place to sleep. I spent the morning after checking updates about the situation in Leeds and about by friend's flight (she had a flight to London from Milan). Lovely Anna (:kiss:) helped me giving infos about the transport between Leeds and Liverpool saying the trains were running even tough some of them had some delays. And then thank heavens we were boarding onto our flight. Met Andrea (axe) and the other italian guys on the flight :nice: Once at Leeds I run to the shuttle to the train station and then a few minutes later the train to Liverpool. Alighting at Liverpool train station was the end of the nightmare, I couldn't believe I was really there. My friend, on the other and, was losing hope as all the available flights were completely packed and the forecast didn't seem to be positive for sunday :\ The day after I went to the venue at about 10.30, just to see where it was and check if someone was already there..and well of course there was someone, axe & co., so I decided to stay there. I had printed my friend's copy of her ID and credit card to collect the tickets, and luckily it worked. Then Craig came searching for standing tickets and I sold him my friend's one since she couldn't definitely make it and consider how much money she lost with this trip getting back 50£ was not a bad thing. We were really few people, all from the italian fansites and coldplaying, for most of the day. As you already know we managed to catch Jonny and Will arriving at the venue with Mercedes vans, while Guy and Chris arrived by foot. I might be one of the few who actually saw Guy arriving, as no one had seen any vans parking. Chris was the only one who stopped, signed things and left us with a "See you in a minute". After waiting a bit more in the queue I decided to go for a walk in the shopping center (bathroom and something hot to drink were needed), but when I came back everyone had disappeared. Two people there told me they had been invited to the soundcheck. The only freaking time I move from there and something like that happens, I knew it dammit. I started praying the security guy to let me in, since he knew I had been there with everyone else since the morning. He wouldn't let me in, nearly crying I tried with the security at the stage entrance, he went in to ask for permission and then led me inside, he was my saviour. Everything was so surreal inside, the tiny stage, the few of us just looking at them in awe, no fanatism, just happy to be have been that lucky. When Phil and Chris came to talk to us at the end of the soundcheck, Phil told us italians "see you next year", so I tried to get from him when and where we were going to see them again, but apparently he wasn't sure. Well good thing is that they're coming :D Then they were told they should play live again Life is for Living, and tough Phil was absolutely positive about it, Chris wasn't as well, I hope he managed to convince them :lol: Just a second before they went I called my friend and made Chris to say hello to her. A few pics from the soundcheck After the gig we stayed there and as you know Chris was the only coming out, the other had left straight after the end of the gig, as always. Also talked with Phil, who had just a short sleeve t-shirt because apparently he couldn't find his jacket anymore :laugh3: and I managed to say hi to Debs, she seemed so nice :nice: I'll post the pics from the gig once I've sorted them out. I also have a short video of Christmas Lights from the soundcheck and Shiver from the gig but I've seen there are already vids about them.

I think this was before he came out. One of the security people told us pizzas were delivered to the venue, so that's what they were for :nice:

Internet in my hotel is through the tv plus the keybard is not working that well, so I will refrain fom posting any review for now, even tough I must say Mich did a fantastic job, I missed a lot of the things you notice, I never remember many things from the gigs. I feel so lucky for managing to get to Liverpool and being one of thelucky few fans who got in for the soundcheck even though I nearly risked to miss it. It wa great to meet all the coldplayers, we owned he front row :D

I can't quite believe it but I made it to Liverpool, unfortunately my friend is still stuck in Milan as all the flights were all cancelled, so I really hope they won't cause problem to me for collecting the ticket since she paid for it, after all I've passed since yesterday evening I'm gonna kill someone if this happens. Now at the hotel, can't wait for a proper shower after spending the past night and half of the day at the airport. Unfortuntately I couldn't make it to the meeting as I arrived one hour ago, but see all of you that made it to Liverpool tomorrow morning :nice:
