..and seeing as it's her thread. It can be any colour she likes (may I suggest calling it purple?). Just out of curiousity...why bother arguing? This is stupid. Everybody back to the Coldplay area and talk more Coldplay!!! That's what we're here for, yer?

Wow...by the amount of posts on this thread, looks like the concerts gonna be full of Coldplayers tonight!

I hope it's all fresh stuff. At least Rove will be new. Maybe the whole band will come into the interview? Previous times it's just been Chris, or Chris and Jonny.

No, Australia's 60minutes is different to America's 60minutes. It's the same idea, but different people and different stories. I would think/hope it's just an interview with the band and possibly some backstage stuff. I don't think it will just be a replay of what the American show had. Also, is Coldplay performing on Rove?

I have a great idea. How about they keep Strawberry String and just add Yes to the setlist?

Funny that, cos her song 'shiver' has the same chord progression as 'In My Place'. Sounds like she ripped Coldplay off there.

Wow really? Do we have any footage of his "emotional crash"? Like the awards being drunk...or concerts were he didn't rock up/didn't give a crap?

Yay! This is my 1000th post. I know it's been a long time coming, and compared to some I don't post half as much. But I've been here for awhile, and I've been reading here for even longer still. SO, I'm happy! Viva La Coldplay! Viva La Coldplaying!

no, no reign of love. The two vlvordaahf songs that were absent were 'yes' and 'reign of love'.

Programs from memory were $25. I got one, they're awesome. But everytime I look at it, I get sad cos I think about the fact that I'm at home, they're probably on the way to Brisbane..and I have to wait another 2-3years before I see them again :(

Ah ok. Now this is the ultimate question. We arrived at 10:30am - some a few hours earlier than that (we were 3rd or 4th there) and waited all day. However, some people who rocked up at 5 or 6pm made it to the front row. So we toiled out in the wind and heat just to get our front row taken by some punkass kids who didn't even know the name of AROBTTH and said he only liked a couple of their songs. You try and figure out the justice in all that. Hopefully Sydney's way of doing things is a little bit more organised than Melbourne. I'd say get there around 12-1, you'll still get front (if you're lucky).

Haha! No, but I saw everyone on that side of the seated crowd start clapping at that point at something - I thought they had seen the band or something..but obviously it was just a roadie! Cool though. I completely agree. I'm from Adelaide as well, and I thought the crowd had an attitude problem. I was going wild and no one else around me was. And my budget is mangled now due to flights and accommodation (and ticket and merchandise) - but definately well worth every cent and more! Viva la Coldplay!

Yer, I saw the concert on the night of the 3rd, I've already mentioned this elsewhere. But the next morning, I saw Jonny with his wife and baby go for a walk, just leaving the hotel. Naww. ps. I got the setlist on the 3rd, and Speed of Sound was a possible Til Kingdom Come and Green Eyes was meant to be I'm A Believer. Wish I saw Glass of Water though!

Woops! I totally forgot to mention that after the concert we went up to the sound desk and asked for a setlist and showed them our posters. We got the setlist and turns out that Green Eyes was originally going to be the cover of "I'm a Believer" again. So that was cool. Also, Speed of Sound had in brackets (or possibly To(sic) Kingdom Come). ...just a few bits of extra information ;)

Yer I remember when they tested GOW with Hammond Jnr. But possibly this is a chance for it to be more permanent in the setlist, since it is after the release of the EP. But yer...Prospekt's March is probably more likely live - the strings might be a problem with Rainy Day.

I can play the first four. But guitar and bass are my main instruments.

Maybe I should've refined my statement and said: "Coldplay soft-rock!!"

Coldplay rock! That is all...

How did I find out about the hotel? Well...people I guess. Yer, well...I might've felt a bit more inclined to approach them if it was like...Jonny and Guy or something. But when it's Jonny with his family and they're off for a walk, I didn't want to just run up and be like "HEY JONNY!! YAAAYYY!!! *makes baby cry*" and then Jonny is in foul mood, wife is like "rarrarrar" and we leave them to continue their 'once-was-happy' walk in an argument. It was pretty mindblowing nonetheless, I was all puffed from the fact that I just saw a Coldplay member...not on stage. I've been waiting for that moment for awhile - even if I didn't talk to him.

Can't help but notice that this show is tonight...ie right now. Aren't we all excited on the prospect of new songs possibly being played? Or at least Glass of Water becoming a regular? Or is it just me...

Have fun!!! Wish I was still there :cry:

Lmao. "Yes they Can!" Damn straight. I'm all for hearing the others take some lead vocals for a bit - even for parts of a song, as opposed to the whole song. But, vital, needs to have a ballad!!

I am play!

Welcome to Coldplaying!! Don't worry bout you're English, it was good!! I hope you have fun and learn some cool stuff about Coldplay!!

Well yer. I do say it to be honest. Sometimes, if something is crazy or cool, you say "wow, thats crackers!" So I can see how you got confused. Way for that crackers guy to have his name as crackers....its crackers..
