If anyone knows of any ticket available please let me know, since the date has been rescheduled and I'll be in Ireland (the island) 'till the 24 me and my friends are seriously thinking about taking the occasion and see them in Belfast as well :D I feel like a junkie in search for her daily drug dose..damn, Coldplay concerts are too addictive :disappointed:

My video of Don't Panic, Reign of Love and Postcards [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mxqf8rpEN-0]YouTube - Don't Panic, Reign of Love and Postcards from Faraway @ Milan 30-09-2008[/ame]

^ Jen that's great :D Booo..that would've been epic :disappointed: Ok seriously you need to come with me to Dublin (and hopefully Belfast) cause my stalking mood will be at its best and altough a friend of mine will follow me everywhere I need the support of the ones and only Guy stalker girls :cool: Waiting for the review now, I bet even going to the backstage has been a great experience, I'm so happy for you girls, at least you got to meet Chris and you got to hear Glass of Water for the first time :kiss:

Some of my pics from the show The queue outside the venue at 2.00 pm The crowd seen from the barrier

the banner was "Crests of Waves Wanted..for Guy's sake", it's gonna come on tour with me cause I don't give up hope to listen to that song, even if it's only a tiny bit :nice: E comunque bevenuta :wink:

Carla I'm just waiting for one thing only...tell us did you meet Mr Sexyman? :D

Uhm some newspapers and radios here began stating that they're trying to convince them to come and play in San Siro (the football stadium in Milan) next summer, since the request of tickets for the last two dates was really high...but apparently they said they could only come in September and in that month the football championship is already started, so no chance at all I guess it would be easier for them to come and play again in Verona, since they really loved the Arena, and Miller mentioned an ancient bullring in the Mediterranean Sea in one of his blogs :nice:

He recognised you :dance: How cool is that, I'm so happy for you girls, well deserved..I know what it means, it may sound stupid for many people, but it can turn the worst of the concerts into the best :nice:

Whooo that's the song we heard during the soundcheck in Milan..me likes it a lot :dance: and I spy someone with a videocamera on the back :D

crazy? no way, it's all good for your health :D

Yay finally Glass fo Water, can't wait to hear it :dance:

I remember a few people asking me what the banner said and someone didn't even know the song so I had to explain, but I was so confused in that moment, I guess you can imagine :laugh3::laugh3: Grazie per il video :nice:

Awww that's great, never trust the people telling you they're gone when you see clues they're not :D hopefully they won't rush away right after the concert tonight so Carla and Chavi can meet them all this time :cool:

Italians are hiding here, wtf I don't want to be alone writing reviews for the shows in Bologna and Milan :disappointed: well anyway..still hyper excited from the night before I managed to sleep only 2hours in order to take the 5:30 am train from Bologna to Milan. Once arrived we met with another friend and went to leave backpacks at the hotel we were going to stay after the concert. We arrived at the Datchforum at about 10, and already more than 30 people were waiting, some were there as early as 7, if not before. The weather was not as good as the day before but luckily it didn't rain. Time passed til at 5pm they started to control the tickets and one hour later the doors opened. I swear running to catch the rail is something exausting, I tried to follow some friends of mine (coldpatrix being one of them), they were on the right were the catwalk begins, but I realised there was still a spot on the rail more to the center, and yes second night on the front, I still can't believe it :nice: Had with me my banner for Guy once again (which he saw and sported again a huge smile seeing it :wacky:), you never know they could play just a tiny bit of CoW, but there were so many other banners requesting songs that I knew it was more easy for them to play Shiver like three years ago. I don't want to go through every song, but the concert was even better than Bologna, Chris played Don't Panic and Reign of Love as you already know, and everyone there in front went crazy, fans from both the Italian fansites so you get how the atmosphere was. Chris even recognised my banner while introducing Cemeteries of London and told me "Ok see you in Dublin" at the end of Yellow after reading another banner I made..I know, stupid things but hey, since I never met him in person that's the closest I got :P Well words can't describe how fantastic this concert was..just read Millers's blog and you get what I mean, we are LOUDEST audience and we love them :cool: I'm already counting down the days to Dublin, I would be utterly depressed if I didn't have other gigs to look forward to, and insanity is telling me to take the opportunity and add Belfast as well now that it has been rescheduled, we'll see :lol: and now I'm gonna upload my two videos on youtube, Don't Panic+Reign of Love+Postcards and Chinese Sleep Chant (even thought for the second the audio is not the best). I'll post the link when they're done :)

Well done girls, I'm so happy for you :nice:

November 25..this means November 21 here I'm gonna die that day, new Coldplay EP and new Killers album as well :stunned:

I hope they will finally play it, cause it sounded great from the soundcheck :)

great news here, I still have to recover from the shows and two EPs are coming out and then other two shows...this is gonna be a fantastic end of the year for me :D btw I think Chris' handwriting is not so bad :P

Still no Glass of Water..wth It really seems they're having a great time in this tour and they're probably enjoying the last shows of this leg even more :nice: thanks for the setlist and for the first mini review :)

Chavi and Carla together?!?!? I'm really worried for Guy :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

Yes is the BBC one, it was broadcasted on a re-run of the concert :lol: did you see the banner? everyone was asking me the meaning *switches to italian* c'eri anche tu a Bologna in prima fila? perchè ho la sensazione che là davanti eravamo i più fanatici, dalla parte di Guy poi diciamo che l'obiettivo era solo uno :laugh4: *switches to english again* That's how close he came to take the pic (thanks to Serena, who was only two people on my left) and another with the crown

Marek let's say I'm a bit more of a Guy gal and he was right in front of me, I couldn't care less about Chris in that moment :lol:

^ Maybe being on the front with everyone around you singing covered Chris' voice a bit..I don't know, I think he sounded great too :D Translation: The two concerts of Coldplay in Italy confirmed how much our country loves the English band. Not just for the soldout: it could be seen by the reactions on networking sites, blogs and various communities (including Soundsblog!) these days. By the way: the balloons that have invaded the parterre were there thanks to the Italian site ColdplayZone. It really doesn't matter that Chris Martin's voice was not the best (especially in Bologna): the acclamation was total. So much so that in Assago, overwhelmed by the warmth of the fans, the band leader said (and we want to believe him): "you are the best audience we've ever had," referring to Italy. After showing you our gallery of pictures from Milan, here's the setlist for both nights. They're mostly the same, showing some small changes: while in Bologna they played "The Hardest Part", the audience in Milan was able to hear also "Don't Panic" and "Reign Of Love" and part of "Shiver". Here's the two detailed setlist. Translation: Don't Panic..Coldplay are here! I arrive at the Forum and I'm surprised that Coldplay audience is very heterogeneous, I would have expected mostly people in their 20s and 30s but the age range to 50. My "neighbour" on the rail called the babysitter telling her to put the son in bed no later than 9:30, she is an example of the most die-hard fans of Chris Martin! The music of Coldplay has managed to conquer everyone over the years and the concert makes you understand why! Chris Martin is a real enchanter: he runs, jumps, trying to involve the public even at the expense of his singing. The concert is full of surprises, at the end of a catwalk there's a mini stage where they perform four songs and after a break they appear in the second ring to do the acoustic version of "The Scientist". The show is full of emotions, songs already very enthralling on CD are even better thanks to a fervent audience singing from beginning to end, "Fix You" is a real gem, a duet with the public. Chris Martin is a true stage animal, playful in his attitudes with the public and extremely enthralling while performing, which is something not everyone can do! The only flaw is perhaps how they played some beautiful songs, Talk above all, in a "techno" style, which I would have gladly done without. However definitely a concert that leaves you satisfied, happy to shout "Viva la Vida"! PS: Advise for the male audience: If your girlfriend asks you to accompany her to see Coldplay and you don't like them, don't do that, you would prevent your girlfriend from looking dreamly at Chris Martin before turning disconsolate towards you. I like Coldplay, but I didn't avoid this scene.

A friend of mine who was on the back texted me at the end of the show asking me if I saw him and I was like "whaaattt? when did it happen?" and now seeing the video I got why I didn't see anything, I had Jonny and Guy in front of me I was not really following Chris' movements :)

Anyone have the video for this? I've been loking for this interview since June, but only found the concert :\ and Chris put the crown on Guy's head during Viva la Vida, as Miller said it really suited him :nice:
