Ooooh!! Thankies so much!! This is like reliving the show all over again. It really was such an incredible experience. Off to download now....

Ya know...the more I watch this vid, the more I like Coldplay. It's obvious that they're having fun and sticking it to the critics. You gotta have real balls to make a video like that! They're so unpretentious and lovable. :kiss: Chris's hair looks fab too! :D

Maybe that old lady was Guy's grandmother?

WHOA. WTF?! Strangest video I've ever seen! The guys look great though!

Hey guys, does anyone know when this DVD will be released?? I can't find any info on the release date.

Yay! this is so exciting. How much longer is it?? I'm in the U.S. so I'm anxiously staring at the Coldplayer right now!!! I hope it's a good video!

AHHHHHHH!! Holy effing crap!! This concert was my first Coldplay show, and I can't believe how AWESOME it was! My seats were supposed to be Section 8, row Q (which is toward the back of the floor) but they somehow deleted our section and changed our seats last minute. I was pretty pissed off that we weren't on the floor :angry:, but when I saw our new seats, I was in love! They moved us into this higher section on the right of the stage - and I could see everything! It was amazing! Anyways, about the show.... I arrived as Ashcroft was almost done with his set. I didn't know any of his songs (except BS). The crowd was really loving Bittersweet Symphony, and people around me were all singing along. It was nice! Fast forward about 15 minutes. The lights go down as Coldplay is ready to come on, and everybody goes apeshit. They started out with Square One, and I honestly don't even remember that first performance because I was screaming, clapping, and trying to come to grips with the fact that I was in the same room as Coldplay. :o It took me a while to get over seeing them all in the flesh. I was disappointed to see that Chris still had the mop hair, but maybe he'll cut it for the Toronto DVD?? LOL. Anyway, some highlights: - Chris thanked us all for showing up for a concert on a Monday, because it's hard to go to a concert on Mondays since we have "school, and work, and other shit." Very warm response to that. - During the acoustic part, one of the four bright lights weren't working, and Chris said "If you're thinking 'why doesn't that light work? I want my money back!' then don't worry because it's deliberate. We like to keep three out of four lights on at all times. If you're thinking that this is a fuck-up, it's not." EVERYONE went nuts. -Then after that light incident, Chris tried to introduce Til' Kingdom Come, but ended up saying something like "This is called ...Oh fuck it, let's just play..." - Clocks had a red laser. It was pretty awesome! I know I read in the Coldplayer that they were bringing back the laser, but I wasn't anticipating it. It was so cool. - Then there was all the usual stuff: Jonny sang during Don't Panic, Chris told us "They teach you how to sing in Cleveland" which I know he tells everyone, and Chris ran out during In My Place and let some lucky girl in the back sing a line. - Also, Chris pointed to the people in the back and said something like "We haven't forgotten you. Even that tiny little person that's like five miles away in the corner, we're thinking about you." (that's roughly what he said) I thought that was pretty sweet of him. After the show, people were blasting Coldplay songs from their cars. I was walking around downtown for a while, and we passed a bunch of bars that were playing Coldplay songs pretty loudly. You could really feel the "Coldplay spirit" in downtown Cleveland. Sorry if this was a long post. It was just an all around amazing show! I didn't think I could love Coldplay any more, but after seeing them live, I do. :)

The show is tonight!! Wooot!!! I can't wait!

Hi! I'm new to this board, and I just had to respond to this topic. It seems like everyone has an opinion on Coldplay these days, doesn't it? I'm 16, and in my school Coldplay is very popular (among the mainstream crowd). I love CP (obviously) and I can't help but think that when people criticize Coldplay for ridiculous reasons, they don't really understand the music so they just spit out common criticisms that they might have heard from others. I know when I first heard of Coldplay, I knew that a lot of people liked them, which put me off at first. I thought "oh, that mellow soft-rock and over-rated band that everyone talks about. pfft." But then I listened to the actual music and fell in love with it. So, I guess some of it has to do with musical taste, but mostly it's about keeping an open mind.

I'll be there too! Section 8!! I'm so friggin excited - my first Coldplay show!!! BTW, does anyone know whether or not the band stays in a hotel in the city they're playing, or do they just stay on their bus?? Because I'm trying to figure out whether or not they'll be in town for a while, so I can stake out the Renaissance Hotel in search for them. lol!
