Roadie #42 - Blog #5 June 23, 2008 10:08 am More Paris pics from #42 I expect I'm either on a Plane to NYC, or in the back of a truck at MSG as you read this. Couple more from Paris for you. First, the Q&A session.. And here's the fellas giving it some to a crowd of Parisians. Capital city crowds can occasionally be a little 'too cool'. None of that here though, this lot were bonkers!

Yay for them..that's a fantastic news go Coldplay... I can't wait to see in how many other countries they're number 1 :dance:

But it's funny how some people were agreeing with him....just shows how biased people are about Coldplay "stealing" from other artists :dozey:

Here's some of my other pictures from the press conference

I like Lost! on the album but I think its dimension is live, it's absolutely amazing and I'm loving it 1000 times more now :nice:

Yay Kara, let's unite, I'm gonna make a big sign and bring it with me to all the concerts I'm going, by now two for sure..it's in my top three CP songs and and even though it's a mission impossible it's still worth trying :D

I'm fine with everything since I've been lucky enough to see them playing some of the songs you're mentioning, like Shiver and Warning Sign...but my mission will be Crests of Waves and I already started it and sure Chris and Guy saw my sign, it's gonna be a "Crests of Waves Wanted Live - Tour" :P Seriously I can understand people who have never seen them live are also waiting for Yellow, Fix You and alikes..plus the band loves these songs

Hey Steve glad to see you here too :nice: I think I'm gonna let the new songs find their right place in my list and then will vote...but I really wish some of the B-sides will make the top10, as Fixed said it's one of the rare occasions to listen to them on the radio

I guess in one hour people will forget their name anyway :dozey:

My video of the full acustic set, luckily the audio is not that bad :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0FyRfjwbwM and I'm working on the pictures and the review and Francisco thanks again for the videos, being recorded from someone who was near me makes them even better, and I can see me during Viva la Vida :nice:

Uhm, not sure, I mean not online, they say they're waiting for more tickets to be available, so keep checking here (standing tickets are called parterre). If you're in Milan you could come to the venue in any case, I'm sure you'll find someone who will sell you a ticket, but try to avoid scalpers :wink:

Thank you Fixed :D btw, yes it seems everyone really thinks they're French..some journalist the other day asked the about their "french dressing"...and Chris said "well in England french dressing is what you put on the salad" (or something along these lines) :laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

There was one specific for the concerti in Barcelona, if I remember correctly it's the only one missing from the official store, so 5 in total..but I bet they will have one with all the US dates for the proper tour :)

Thanks Mich...but I can't get the interview link to work, can anyone rip it? :)

Great news, unfortunately I only have a crappy video of the acustic set, don't think it can be useful :( Butterflies confetti...I think I also ate one :laugh3: Some other pics just to start, one of each: And I found a video of Lost! on youtube, with Guy playing the timpani drum http://youtube.com/watch?v=ToZhdKoLTYQ

^ I think so, I bought the red one in Barcelona, but be careful with the size, cause only the red and the pink ones are specifically for girls

My pictures suck compared to these, thanks to roadie #42 (better known as...:P) anyway, this gotta be my favourite one from the gig :nice:

That's great..go them :dance:

Same as Brixton Academy One of my pics..Will looking straight at my camera, maybe cause I climbed on a chair to have a better view :lol:

Lost! I was expecting Will to come over and play it and then I saw it was Guy :stunned: Must say this song live kicks ass :nice:

Setlist was the same as Brixton I'm not able to review right now..I'm just saying it was f**ing brilliant, some songs I was not sure of are amazing live P.S. Who was the guy I was talking to yesterday evening, coming from Madrid? :D

One of the journalists asked them what they think about some critics accusing them of copying Phantom Planet e the other band which I don't remember the name of (the one about Viva la Vida)...they were a bit surprised by the question and didn't even know who the two bands were all in all I must say some of the questions they were asked were pretty stupid :dozey:

Someone here got it right about roadie #42 ;)

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh OMG, I've just come back from Barcelona and I'm on the verge of crying after seeing these pics...aww the memories of yesterday :bigcry: jkg I'll post mine from the press conference and the concert whenever I will recover..I'm still in shock, it was awesome when Guy picked up his camera, I'm in one of his pics for sure :dance:
