Your top 5 Coldplay gigs
1) Rio April 2016 - Crazy atmosphere, the band sounding sharp, amazing C-stage setlist with Parachutes, Shiver and A Message. Couldn't ask for much more! ----Haven't seen the shows below live--- 2) Live 2006 in Toronto - Some of the best Coldplay live performances, like Trouble & Swallowed In The Sea. A great ending to Coldplay's best era IMO, X&Y 3) Glasto 2012 - 2005 comes very close but Coldplay were top drawer that night 4) Paralympics closing ceremony London 2012 - Unique and unforgettable :) 5) Live 2003 - Live 2012 comes close but the more simpler production of the 2003 DVD edges it for me. A Rush Of Blood To The Head live - I don't need to say anymore!

Just got back from the concert. My final one and what an awesome atmosphere (even at the back - minus the smokers!) Probably just a bit better than Wembley on the Saturday. Got a video of Til Kingdom Come / Du Hast at the C-stage. Getting the upload sorted :)

[2016-06-26] Coldplay Headline Glastonbury 2016
What a great show! Fix You, Charlie Brown, ASFOS, Stayin' Alive and the Viola Beach tribute were my favs :) Viola Beach were #2 in the iTunes charts I think. Massive impact!

Replay, replay, replay :D https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10154295382248624 Chris should really keep his political opinions to himself. A lot of Europe are under the presumption the UK 'hates' Europe (was laughing when I heard the boos for the British flag. Poor Jamie and Linus! ;) ) but the media are only interested in publishing 'panic' stories about how everything is in turmoil. Switzerland (where Coldplay played) and Norway are not in the EU. They have no issues welcoming people and aren't disconnected from other European countries. Chris was talking as if it's a terrible thing that's happened, when over half the UK view it as a major victory for democracy. The people had the power and they voted (something ties in here with the Charlie Chaplin speech!) I know a lot of people voted leave because of the constant scarcity/lies from David Cameron being posted all over the news about how we're gonna lose 100,000's of jobs and no one will be able to travel freely across Europe again (as if 150+ non EU countries in the world have the same problem). Really backfired on him. There's also another reason why leave won with 52% and not very many world leaders / celebrities were backing the leave vote. They don't experience the problems many ordinary people do and don't have to be concerned about healthcare, overpopulation, housing or taking care of disabled people, who have had their support reduced / cut off < That was the final straw for a lot of people over here who were already sick of the government screwing over poor people. Sorry to go off on a tangent. Just thought it would be helpful for people who want to know the reasons why 17m people voted leave :)

Omg they played Amsterdam! See Cping Fb for the vid. Show started off dead atmosphere wise but kicked off about half way through. Worth going just to hear Amsterdam live. It wasn't even acoustic, it was full band at the end!!

Looks like everyone had a great time yesterday :) In My Place the requested song again??? *facepalm* One of their best songs but what's the point of the request section, when the just play what they're most comfortable with (the majority of the time). Just gotta get lucky and hope they get a tiny tiny bit adventurous at the odd show! (A Message, AROBTTH, Strawberry Swing). Agreed. I think A Sky Full Of Stars is awesome live because of the Xylobands and the jumping but the former and later are forgettable imo. It's funny because the songs were better on the MX tour I think but I still prefer AHFOD tour. Coldplay execute everything (apart from requests) perfectly :P

[2016-06-24] Amsterdam ArenA, Amsterdam, Netherlands
I'll probably be there about 6.30pm. Got regular standing tickets (+ unreserved seating i'm guessing), either C-stage if there's enough room or might sit at the back to see the Xylobands in full effect :) If anyone is going around the same time, give me a shout! Going through gate G.

[2016-06-18] Wembley Stadium, London, UK
Likewise :) Did you film the whole show or just certain songs?
-
[2016-06-18] Wembley Stadium, London, UK
Filmed a video of Always In My Head. The one that was posted on Thursday (on Youtube) didn't do the visuals any justice I thought, so I focused on the screen. Very Ghost Stories Live esque :D Hopefully they'll continue to play this for the rest of the tour :) (Please excuse the camera shakiness at the start!)

I'm in front of Jonny at C stage btw :D

[2016-06-18] Wembley Stadium, London, UK
Reef are so much better than all of the recent support acts (probably same level as tie in Brazil)
-
[2016-06-18] Wembley Stadium, London, UK
Far back in the queue, going to C stage. Hope I'll get a good video!

I echo the things mentioned above. People smoking, getting into petty conflicts with others over space. I can be content with it though and I expect it in the UK. People can get very bored with the long wait and the support acts don't really add to the atmosphere in my opinion. South America (Rio) was the exact opposite. People were singing and chanting VLV before the show (everyone is mainly tense in London and it falls flat). No smoking, no alcohol even and everyone seemed very considerate. Shame Coldplay don't go there more often :P
