Couldn't figure out the seating chart so I just took the first 2 that came up haha! Sec GA3 Row 10 Seats 47-48. Hope they're good seats....

I'm still concerned about the Ticket Rush website...seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth and I can't remember the monthly password. On top of that, Live Nation's website has TWO concerts listed...one starting at 7:30, and one at 8:00. Hope they get this straightened out by tomorrow...

Agreed; I think it's as follows: Then there was rain, And I spent the night with the queen of Spain. My lonely little heart would've broke again. Times were vicious. Singin "Deeper than the knife goes in, the more you win You end up with less than where you begin. Deeper than the knife goes in..." And basing the lyrics off the first post, I have a few minor corrections (as far as I can hear, at least...could definitely be wrong haha). Also in Rainy Day, I think it's "Time just floated away" instead of "Time was just floating.." in the first part. Similarly, in the second part I think it's "To the ground comes a bit of a-tumbling/And time just floated away" instead of "Through the ground..." (put together with the previous line you get "This town foundations are crumbling to the ground..." which makes sense). And for the last line of the first chorus I hear "I love it when you come over to my house" instead of "I love it when you come 'round to my house." In Lit II, instead of "As a cold war coming" I think it's "There's a cold war coming." I also agree with those who hear "I can hear it coming" instead of "I can hear rain coming." In Prospekt's March, the line should be "People buryin' their dead," not "People bury in their dead."

That preview has cleared up quite a bit as far as the missing verse is concerned. Here's what I've got so far... Scared of losin' all the time He wrote it in a letter He was a friend of mine He heard you could see your future Inside a glass of water The ripples and the rhymes He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine?' Oh that is just the way it was, and nothing could be better, and nothing ever was. Oh he said you could see your future, inside a glass of water, The riddles and the rhymes He asked 'Will I see heaven in mine' Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, I.... Son, don't ask, Neither how full nor empty is your glass, Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in the past Going nowhere fast So he wrote it on the wall. The hollowest of halos is no halo at all. Televisions set in plastic* ....and leaders Sayin' nothing at all. And we tried (?) stars in heaven align Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, I.... Son, don't ask, Neither how full nor empty is your glass, Cling to the mast Spend your whole life living in the past Going nowhere fast And what I'll be drinking when we're done Just glasses of water *the "tic" in "plastic" carries over to the following line as far as the timing of the song goes. And I'm positive the correct lyrics are NOT "And we tried" for the part following "stars in heaven align," but it's late and after constant replays I'm positive I won't be able to decipher any more tonight. :P

I can only barely, BARELY make out what sounds like the word "of" in "I don't want a cycle of recycled revenge." I'm wondering if the correct lyrics are "I don't want to cycle recycled revenge" (using "cycle" as the verb there). It would make sense with the surrounding lines; they'd all start with "I don't want to." Thoughts?

Hmm, just another take on this...everyone seems to be operating under the assumption that the story is told about a single person from that person's point of view. If it's told from multiple perspectives, though... I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own Could be Moses, as was mentioned earlier (Chris seems to like Moses...both his child and another CP song share that name). The last two lines probably indicate his downfall in that he was allowed to see, but not enter, the promised land. Could also be Jesus, as escapist's analysis would indicate, and it fits especially well with my interpretation of the next part. I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing, "Now the old king is dead, long live the king!" One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand Note how this section was separated by the first section by music, possibly indicating a shift in perspective. The first line of this section immediately made me think about the Roman centurions who cast lots for Jesus' clothing at the crucifixion. The next line also fits: Roman centurions would definitely feel the fear in their enemy's eyes! The next two lines would fit, too. Above Jesus' head on the cross were the words "King of the Jews," and the Bible talks about people mocking him, so that could be the crowd mocking Jesus by saying "now the old king is dead, long live the king!" The final four lines seem to speak of some sort of realization that everything he (the centurion) used to believe was wrong, which would fit in with one of the centurions at the crucifixion saying, "Truly this man was the Son of God." (All of this portion would come from Mark 15). I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you know there was never, never an honest word That was when I ruled the world The chorus could be Jesus again. The first two lines are pretty self-explanatory. The next line...a prayer to God? The following line...a word to His disciples/followers? The last couple lines are tricky, and I think escapist came up with as good of an explanation as any for them. It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Oh who would ever wanna be king? Again, I like escapist's explanation. The mention of revolutionaries doesn't really fit, though... And then the chorus again, with the one bit changed to "I know Saint Peter will/won't call my name." I think this portion was explained adequately earlier in this thread as well (either speaking of redemption or of Peter denying Jesus 3 times). I'm probably reading waaaaay too much into this, but hey! You never know...

Preordered on iTunes. Got Viva la Vida (the song) already. It's probably my favorite of the ones we've heard so far.

In My Place is usually their second song in their encore set. Trouble is sometimes played, but sometimes they play Green Eyes instead. Yellow is the third song they play. Scientist is closer to the end, and unfortunately, Daylight is not played at all (this is going off the setlist from February, I have no idea if they've changed anything since then, but as far as I know, Daylight has never been played on the Twisted Logic Tour).

Does anyone know if they're going to stream tonite's concert as well?

If you heard someone scream COLDPLAY after each of her songs, it was me. :lol:

Set List (as far as I can remember) Square One Politik Yellow God Put A Smile Upon Your Face X&Y How You See The World Don't Panic White Shadows The Scientist 'Til Kingdom Come Ring Of Fire Trouble Clocks Talk Encore: Swallowed In The Sea In My Place Fix You (no swinging lightbulb though :cry:

I was too afraid to try to sneak anything by the scary security guys with the security wand things...

I went to the performance last nite at Anaheim Pond and...she sucked. I mean really, really sucked. Think of grunge Enya on steroids...all of her songs sounded the same. And uh...she was wearing some kind of Jedi tunic thing. I'm not trying to flame her, I'm just saying that Coldplay is, IMO, much much better.
