Yeah, I am :D Haruka - What's this about the Tidal pre-sale for Maracana / Rio ? :o I can't find anything.

Will post this from the main LP7 thread :P I think we'll know what's going to happen by Monday/Tuesday (UK chart wise). This is a good forum to keep an eye on (Updates are normally posted between 10am-3pm UK time) : http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=184620&st=0&start=0 Latest sales / mid-week updates are posted on there before everywhere else. Someone is saying on the Coldplay prediction thread that they've made 100k sales within the first day. Coldplay will go over 200k easily, maybe even close to 300k. They're all underestimating them a lot. I think it's because they treat Ghost Stories as just another album by them (not knowing that it wasn't the next big album after MX), so they're inclined to think sales are only going to go down from there. Apparently, they're on course for only 150k sales in the U.S. which would be considered a flop for Coldplay.

The Chris & Will part at the end is one of the highlights of the albums and Davide's strings are amazing! Something I didn't find quite right with the studio version to start off with but now it's grown on me a lot

Nice reviews :D I don't really have anything additional to say, it's sorted of all covered. The usual brilliance plus a bit more!

Great interview :D They should of let the audience who were actually there ask more questions though (instead of the text questions).

Joyful residue haha!

Ugh, stop the X&Y hate Chris! Maybe 'How You See The World' would of made it better but the genius of Square One, What If, White Shadows and Fix You? Comon :P

Princess Of China with Rihanna at Superbowl?

I wanna hear The Race!

So, that's a no from Guy then :P

Mexican haha

Yes, it works lol I understand it's in the Bakery? The 'secret' location 10,000+ fans know about!

Ah yes, that Indian guy! Thought he'd have no hope as he couldn't get tickets at all outside of the venue. Must of somehow got them as everyone was going in. He kept trying to call myself and Mayur (he was over the right side a few rows back) but couldn't understand what he was trying to say :p Video now on the iPlayer : http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p037lx9p/radio-1-live-sessions-coldplay

I think it's the best song on the album. The production is perfect and not overdone, the 'duet' is subtle enough and Tove Lo's voice fits perfectly with Chris'. Jonny's riff is awesome and the part before "from the top of the world..." reminds me of Rick Roll in the way it transitions. 80's without really sounding cheesy. The acoustic guitar towards the end is amazing. The lyrics are brilliant too.

Yeah, this is Guy's 'Magic' of AHFOD :P

Omg, complete opposite of today's crowd during ASFOS, not a single person moving haha

Yes Will!

They were brilliant. Was expecting much better than last year's Ghost Stories concert and it exceeded that by much more than I thought. For the 'jumping' songs, everyone joined in and it was great :D Overall, the left side by Jonny were slightly better, a few statues around the right side :p Everything got a brilliant response, apart from HFTW which hasn't gone down popular with everyone but it was it's live debut so once people get used to the live version, it will be better. The very best was the end of Charlie Brown but that was because everyone joined in with the crouching. Hopefully we'll see it on the iPlayer tomorrow!

Sorry, just deleted Lukestar's post. It showed as a double post but now both of them are gone. Edit - It's fine now, was able to reverse it.

Happens around the 1:25 mark. The quality is poor though compared to the actual video quality but I guess that's mainly because of the connection :P

I'll do a longer review soon. My favourite parts were: - The Lasers / Effects during 'A Head Full Of Dreams'. Looked stunning and very surreal - Chris made the whole crowd crouch to the floor during Charlie Brown!! I've never seen anything like it, it was crazy. All of us on the front row were peeking over the top slightly. Madness! - Chris gave me the eyes during Charlie Brown I think :P - He then spotted me filming during Hymn For The Weekend and was singing directly at the phone camera (Don't know if you noticed that on Periscope) - Chris also had a moment with Mayurshikotra (next to me) during AOAL. Chris pointed, Mayur pointed to himself as to ask "You pointing at me", Chris nodded and Mayur did that beat drop sign with Chris! :D A Head Full Of Dreams, Charlie Brown and A Sky Full Of Stars were the best moments of the night :D

You're welcome guys! What a concert it was. Their best intimate show in terms of quality, no doubt

I just made it the other day, to post to Twitter automatically :)
