Why not? :wink3: They sold their clothes, didn't they? :sneaky:

If it's true, I'm definitely there...I flew from California to Florida just for the Tampa show. I found out it was cancelled when I landed in Atlanta to make the connecting flight to Tampa, the concert was cancelled while I was in the air. Tampa was a big deal because it was supposed to be the final US show of the Viva tour. I was at the first Viva show in Los Angeles and I wanted to be at the last show, too. So it doesn't seem totally preposterous that they would do something regarding the new album in Tampa. But once again, who knows...until it's officially announced, I'll just keep my fingers crossed. And hope. :D

Um, Exeter? Yes it was for charity, and probably a one time thing, but they can still pull off a small show. But it wasn't their whole huge stadium extravaganza.

No, you missed my point. After Latin America, their Viva phase is over and done with. They've sold their instruments and costumes. We all agree there. According to Roadie #42's last blog, they are in the studio recording a new album right now. I'm pretty sure they have new instruments to work on the new album with. Whether or not the rumored Tampa show is true, they will continue to do concerts in the future and will have instruments to play those concerts. I was speculating that perhaps a show that would take place in August, SIX months from now, would be based on their new "Non-Viva" phase. I don't believe they will come back to Tampa for a Viva show, but I was thinking that maybe they would preview their new material, new look, and therefore "next phase" in Tampa. Before they started touring with Viva, they did several "test runs" in London and that free show at Madison Square Garden in New York. Who's to say they won't do that again with their new album? And I seem to recall reading somewhere, that they would be leaving the huge stadiums behind and going back to smaller, more intimate venues. In any case, we'll just have to wait for an official announcement, but there are a few other websites that have an upcoming concert date.

The rumored date isn't until August. Not right after Mexico. That's why maybe it's the start of their next phase.

Er, I would think they would have new instruments to replace the ones they auctioned off. If it is true, it doesn't have to be a Viva show. It could be the start of their next phase.

Well-o if it's on the web-o then it must be real-o right-e-o? Guess we'll just have to wait-o to find out if it's true-o and if it is, I'm so there-o since I'm not going to Mexico-o :P

Ok I figured it out. By August, they should be wrapping up the new album so they're coming to Tampa to test it out. Just like they did those friends and family shows when Viva was released. Album 5 - Stripped. Plus don't they want to play more intimate shows after LA? You can call me Sherlock :D

They're coming back!!! Lookie... http://livekick.com/show/Coldplay/Tampa/FL/8-9-10-07.30-PM

Hey everyone, Did anyone else receive a notification that they're coming back to TAMPA??? Next summer, exactly a year after their cancelled show! WOO HOO! They heard all of us! http://livekick.com/show/Coldplay/Tampa/FL/8-9-10-07.30-PM

Congratulations San Clemente - just a few miles down the highway from me in Southern California :) It's one of my favorite beach towns.

It's exactly the same as the broadcast - donate bar and all. I wish the bar wasn't there for the itunes version. But it was worth buying for A Message :)

Jason...Oingo Boingo...they played at my high school in the early 80s. Good times. :)

Me, too, Tracey...me, too. But you already knew that, didn't you ;)

I could listen to him talk all day long (and all night too) :wink3: He just has the best voice. I loved his harmonizing, during A Message, too. Been busy lately, Cooky? ;)

Cooky might not have hyperventilated, but I have ;) Mr. Champion looked mighty fine last night at the Haiti show, too. His boots :bomb: And OMG, that mtv video just about sent me over the edge. Miss seeing and hearing him so much. sigh...

And I am talking about the guitar, you know...

You trust DHL more than Mexicana or Aeromexico? :laugh3: And isn't it going to come as baggage anyway when they ship it from London? I have seen people carry on guitar cases and the flight attendant puts it in the closet... But a temporary joint custody agreement would be good - you should be able to visit it after all the Mexico shows, caress it, fondle the strings, stroke the neck :wink3:

I always laugh at that picture...the other ones of him from that night are funny too :)

Sooooo.....are you going to pick it up in person in Monterrey? :wink3:

If you're in the US and want an easy way to donate, text HAITI to 90999, and $10 will be donated to the Red Cross Int'l Relief fund. The $10 will be charged to your cell phone bill. http://www.redcross.org/

That's what it used to be before she made it a private account a few months ago.

Chloe's twitter is private, but every once in a while, someone will post one of her updates in the Jonny thread.

Dang...I just want to rub his fuzzy head, lol...love the uber-short hair on him...sigh..
