Ok so now I'm sure the song we were hearing while queuing in Milan is Glass of Water, they played it at least four times and everyone was wondering what song it was..it sounds soooo goood :wacky:

Have a blast Carla :nice:

Here you are, it's during Viva la Vida at 3:55 :nice: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d8VRKSOTH8 and here at the end is Chris' striptease :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_pw2NNu-ek someone from coldplayzone board managed to take Chris' sweaty shirt :wacky:

Ale it was great to meeting you as well and I'm happy you get to be in the GA in front of Jonny :nice: Ok so, I don't think I will be too long with my review, Aleja already said how great this concert was. I guess being in the front row make you see and feel the atmosphere a lot different than being far back or on the stands, you know that you're surrounded by die-hard fans, who were in queue since 7 in the morning if not before and sang every single song atop of their lungs (of course many other die-hard fans were all over the place). We arrived at the venue at 8.45 and as I said there were already some people at the two gates for the parterre (the GA)..it was a long wait till 7pm, we wandered around to a supermarket near there to buy something to eat, went to buy something at the official merchandising shop (I got the tour program :nice:) and we also tried to wait for them at the back where they should have entered, but when we arrived Jonny and Will were already in, we stayed there for at least one hour since Chris and Guy were to arrive but someone came to tell us we needed to come back in queue in order to keep our spots...and a few minutes later a guy who was waiting with us told us a car arrived 10 minutes after we left but didn't stop. When the gates opened everyone started running as fast as possible..me and a friend of mine managed to find a spot in the front row on the right side and we had to stay sit till the GA was so full that people stood up to really take the rail..luckily it was not long enough till Albert came out. Must say I enjoyed his songs, tough after in the third the song began to seem all the same (must be cause I didn't know any). When he went off stage all the CP roadies came to set up the equipment and people started singing the Viva la Vida chorus..then they played a rap song and a walzer, which stopped short and then all the lights went out. From here on everything was perfect for me..Life in technicolor is amazing and we began moving our ballons and kept doing it through Violet Hill. Then Clocks, which is always a highlight of the show, I loved the lasers, and In my place..Jonny came to our side and everyone screamed his name, he joined Guy and Chris at the beginning of the catwalk :nice: During Speed of Sound we could finally see the magic balls in action, and they were amazing..all the lights were blue while they were green, yellow and red. After this Chris asked to turn on the lights, apologised for his terrible italian and told us to enjoy the Monday (he had to asked Jonny which day it was) evening and they started play Cemeteries, which everyone sing along to and I was really surprised. *insert fangirl comment: while Chris was talking Guy saw my Crests of Waves banner and pulled out a smile like this :D..well a bit more embarassed* anyway it was the turn of Chinese Sleep Chant that I effing love, that song rocks live and I'm glad they're not dumping it, and 42 with everyone singing "you thought you might be a ghost". Fix You is always great live, even tough this is probably not the right spot in the setlist, and Strawberry Swing is so uplifting, with all the audience following Guy's and Jonny's hand clapping :nice: Then it was the turn for the B-stage, where they played the techno version of God put a smile and Talk. Must say that I liked the second one while I'm not that sure about the first, it's just that the original version of God kicks ass live, especially the last part. The Hardest Part on piano is absolutely beautiful and a nice surprise, as well as Postcards from Far Away. Viva la Vida started right away and the ohhh ohhhohh as well, I though the venue was going to fall down with all the people singing so loud, we really overwhelmed Chris' voice in a lot of songs but this in particular (and Miller agrees :wacky:), than there was Lost!, absolutely brilliant live. When they disappared people feared the concert was already over, and then all of a sudden they realised they were on the back of the venue ready to sing The Scientist and Death Will Never Conquer (Will sung perfectly as always). Viva la Vida remix is what in Italian we call "una truzzata", but it was fun as we started to sing along the chrous again..until Politik started, and I got the shivers because it's my favourite song ever, I'm so happy they decided to bring it back and now is regular in the setlist. This time I had promised myself to follow Lovers in Japan without looking over me and try catching some butterfiles like I did in Barcelona, but it's impossible not to and I guess everyone on the GA did the same, they're too perfect for this song. And then first time to listen to Death and all his friends, and I may sound repetitive but it was amazing too, the chorus gives goosebumps. They were all so happy at the end and as usual they bowed before going away...to come back for another song, and everyone was yelling for Yellow because it's THE SONG and I'm glad they played it acoustic only a few times, this is how it must be played, rockier. *insert fangirl comment: and the rest about the banner and the picture you already know* That's it, I'm trying to collect all the memories but it's difficult because I only slept two hours that night and then I had to prepare myself for another concert, the review of which will be in its thread..hopefully tomorrow..just know it was even better :D

they were sooo happy :heart: even tough the last pic was not taken in Bologna or Milan (and I know it cause Guy was not wearing those trousers) :uhoh:

Screw the review..I found two videos so you get what happend they were coming back to play Yellow, Chris had already seen my banner going out, but he read it once again and went to Guy patting on his shoulder and telling him to see it (I suppose he told him he had already seen it, big smile on his face again), then they played Yellow and right at the end Guy took up his camera and came to the front hinting at me to hold up the banner this video has it in full Chris pointing at the banner, and Guy coming in the front (at 5:28 :nice:) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbRJPRSHvJ8 this is from another angle (at 0:49) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_6g7Fy4vZk bad thing is that I didn't took any pic since I was holding the banner, so if anyone finds some of that moment please let me know, god everyone around me screamed so loud (well uhm, there were mainly girls so you get why :laugh3:)

As Aleja already said it was my banner, Guy saw it during Cemeteries, when he was on the back to play the piano and a had huge smile on his face :nice: but I won't spoil my review so I'll write later on what happened when the show was almost over, I don't know how I managed not to faint :lol:

I'm at work and I don't have time to write anything meaningful right now..but this concert kicked ass seriously, I'm still over the moon..front row, Don't Panic and a tiny little bit of Shiver, everyone singing every single note of every single song, their huge smiles from beginning to end it was epic..I still can't believe they actually changed the setlist from the night before :nice: pics and videos (just two) to follow whenever I have time This was the night before, a friend of mine texted me thanking god about this..and I didn't even notice..booo me :disappointed:

They're waiting for Monday or Tuesday :smug: (yes...of course..wishful thinking)

Aww as soon as I opened the blog page I remembered the story about your banner..that's great :nice:

Magoo are you also on TK board? Thanks for the reviews and setlist :nice: Still no Glass of Water....and the hope is still alive :uhoh:

I agree, even tough my favourite song so far is off Hot Fuss

The translation is in the news Ian posted the link for :wink:

Thank you :nice:

"Priporočam obisk njihovega ponedeljkovega koncerta v Bologni, saj bend v živo zveni mnogo bolj poskočno in živo kot na studijskih posnetkih." What does this mean? (I'm curious because I see Bologna mentioned :P)

That's not the real tracklist. First of all there will only be 10 songs and Goodnight, Travel Well is the closing one. Most of the titles have been confirmed but not the order, so there's still hope for Tidal Wave (which btw I would love to hear too, damn Brandon and that time he talked about it) :wink:

As someone said it's not great as a video per se, but I love it as live video, really, it's the right time for making me feel even more excited to see them live again on monday :nice: and there's an Italian flag at the end, we're everywhere :dance:

-3:juggle::dance::juggle::dance::juggle::dance: as you can see I'm in no way uber excited oh and as I said in another thread, which I don't remember right now, if anyone wants any live update from this and the Milan show by mobile texts let me know, as I won't be coming back home till October 1 late evening

I am, with the same nickname, but I don't write much..just know rules are more strict than here, since that board is hosted on their label's servers, so there's a no-no policy on posting links to download, talking about the band's private life..and apparently Human video shoot that's why I'm posting it here :P

well dear Miller you will be surprised yet again as we don't have Starbucks here either :rolleyes: anyway..yay for Glass of water being rehearsed again..maybe we're lucky enough to have it next week :dance:
