Pictures and video I talk last night [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkrwTMCNsIA]YouTube - Coldplay Montreal 2009 Osheaga - God Put a Smile Upon Your Face[/ame]

My review I also read a few BRILLIANT reviews (most in French) this morning. FANTASTIC show last. My friends and I arrived at the venue, well a field (a really nice one and the weather was amazing), at 3 and there were people waiting in front of the stage already. I’ve been to Osheaga before and usually people don’t do that and the big crowds don’t really show up before 4 pm. Apparently they had more people in one day yesterday than in 2 days last year. So my friends and I managed to get 4rth row on Guy’s side, 3rd row near the mini ramp. The Coldplay Crew took pictures of the crowd waiting and of themselves in front of the crowd. They didn’t have the big ones on the both sides, which turned out to be funny during "In My Place" because Chris couldn't run and jump on Jonny from very far away so he waited and jumped on him from the corner of the stage. We saw some goods bands while waiting. I surprised by Jason Mraz because I personnaly really don’t like his music very much but he is a good performer and got the crowd going. Also saw Elbow, The Roots, Josh Ritter, Eagles of Death Metal (They made me laugh. Old Rock’n Roll). I saw Will dancing on the side of the stage a few times (including to Elbow ) :D with his little V neck t-shirt and sun glasses :D I took a picture and you can kind of see him. He was clapping and dancing. The crowd was impatient to see Coldplay and started chanting just when “The Roots” were finishing. No dancing roadie this time but we did have the waving and clapping with Strauss. The crowd went mad when they came on stage. I love that intro so much. From Strauss to “LiT” and “Violet Hill.” You get amazing and overwhelming feeling and go nuts. We couldn’t stop singing and cheering the whole time. The guy next to me was hilarious. He started singing and but it was just horrible. His friend went like “Shut up! You’re gonna kill everyone or get killed” Poor guy.:lol: They didn’t play “Glass of Water” but that’s alright. It’s a festival so the show had to be a little shorter, although they did try to sing as many songs as they could. Chris was jumping around as usual and I had a great of view of him on the mini-ramp. My friend said his eyes were really blue. Guy didn’t smile much this time around (unlike Toronto. Maybe he was hung over ;)) but he did give some people in the front the most hilarious look. Some eyebrow raising thing and that seemed to be saying “I know you want me” or something like that :wink3: Something I noticed at the last two shows was that Chris comes over to Guy during one song (can’t remember which one) and asks him if he is okay. Cute. Will and Chris laughed at each other a few times, don’t know why but they seemed to be having fun. There were also very nice Jonny and Chris moments during “In My Place” and “Strawberry Swing" (when they play really close to each other at the end." They managed to use the balloons by having the crew throw into the crowd. The crowd kicked them really far back and after the concert I saw some people with them on the metro. “Fix You” sounded great in the field and with such a crowd. Chris messed up the beginning of “The Hardest Part,” which was really funny. The B-stage was great because I was REALLY close and had a fantastic view of Will going crazy on his mini drums. He is so concentrated. Jonny and Guy were smiling behind him at one point (I think because of something Jonny said). Go figure. Every year, Montreal is home to an International Fireworks festival and at 10 the fireworks started and we could see them pretty well, although they were on the right side of the stage. They started during “Viva La Vida.” Guy and Chris were trying to get a look at them from the stage by moving forward a little. They managed to put the C-stage in the middle of the field, which is so great. First, they seemed to hesitate about how to leave the stage but all-knowing Guy pointed to the right side of the stage. The crowd at the back went crazy. They all smiled when they walked by. Funnily enough the fireworks were green during “Green Eyes” and Chris told the other guys to look at them because it looked so great and so they sang the C-stage songs facing the fireworks. That was a beautiful moment. Chris sang “Green Eyes,” looked at Jonny and pointed to the fireworks (Aaawwww moment indeed). He also sang about the fireworks during the intro to DWNC. It was funny. Something like “We got (something something), fireworks and our drummer Will.” It was a nice little change. Then Jonny said something to Will, who laughed. They didn’t expect the fireworks and seemed really happy about it. There were a lot of people watching the boys from the side of the stage who then tried to get a look the fireworks as well: Miller came around the side of the stage with Franksy to take pictures so we might have a blog. The cell phone wave was cool although I didn’t really see what it looked like. It must have looked great from the back.à Chris said we did some great singing and he could where the Arcade Fire came from. Big cheer :D He spoke in French a few times, which is always adorable. because of his accent He knew what to say to get cheers, including the word "Quebec" which always works on the Quebecois crowds. “Politik” was great. Lots of jumping around. I love the Chorus so much just for that. “Lovers in Japan” was brilliant with the butterflies. I don’t know how they gonna get rid of them since it’s a field but well. The field was a mess after that. hehe The crowd cheered before the encore: from clapping, screaming, Viva La Vida chanting to football chants and yelling Coldplay in unison. That was really great! Brilliant audience, Chris came back on and thanked us for the cheering and played “The Scientist,” which is always such a great sing along. Guy came out with a beer, as usual ;) “LiTii” was brilliant and the crowd really seemed to know the words and since it was the last song everyone tried to cheer as loud as they could. Everybody’s legs were hurting by then considering we had been standing for hours. It was REALLY crowded. Will left the stage last, which I always find hilarious. "Yes, Will, everyone has left the building. Wanna wait til the crowd leaves as well?" Going back home was an entire adventure in itself. It took us two hours to get back. The show was on an island so the only way to get there is by car or metro, But not a lot of people use cars in Montreal and everybody was taking the metro. We ended up sitting down again with a lot of other people and just waited Some started sleeping, some played music on garbage cans, some chanted a little. We also played with one of the yellow balloons that someone had gotten, throwing it from one side of the line to the other. Someone burst it and got booed so much. Absolutely hilarious. Also, every time a metro came around people cheered and clapped at the driver (that must have been a first for him). It was getting ridiculous. It was a brilliant night. No post-concert depression yet.YAY.Sorry if forgot some things

Jonny was great last night. Rocking it out. I think I saw Chloe on the side of the stage but I'm not sure :D:D:D

Very Nice :D

So we are just missing Guy. Let's ask his mother....

Everybody wants to be glued to Will. That's my life goal ;) ;)

Last night was amazing Took the night from Montreal to Toronto. The guy sitting next to me wouldn’t stop talking to me. It was like 3 in the morning on a crowded bus…shut up. I arrived in Toronto at 6:30, checked I, had a shower and went for lunch with a friend. I was arrived at the venue around 12:30.There were a few people there already so I waited in the line with them. I was on my own because my friends are going to the Montreal concert (which I originally couldn’t attend but now can). We waited for hours under the sun. I got I nice tan but still it was HOT. Then there were problems with the gates because security decided to divide the line and let people in who hadn’t been waiting for long at the same at those who had been waiting for hours. After 2 hours of demands etc we were ultimately allowed in first. Guess we might have made a few people angry but we had been waiting for 5 hours :D I walked (really fast) to the pit and got first row, Guy’s side. Exactly what I wanted. The security guys were funny and talkative (except for one guy who looked a little lost) Kitty, Daisy and Lewis were good. The boy is SUPER young, he looks 16 but he can play so many instruments Elbow were BRILLIANT! Seriously great. I wish they had played longer. I’m seeing them tonight again, this time longer because it’s a festival. They started setting up for Coldplay so I saw Vicky, Franksy, Miller and the rest of the crew. The Dancing Roadie was hilarious. Crazy moves on the ramp. The Security guys were laughing. They weren’t expecting it and I think they first thought that it was someone from the audience who had jumped on stage. The bad thing was that the camera man stood in front of me so I had perfect view on Guy and Will (Will most of the time) but couldn’t see much of Jonny. Thankfully Chris moves a lot so he was no problem but the cameraman was too tall. When Coldplay came on, the stadium (50,000 people I think) went ballistic. Chris was impressed by the number of people. The crowd was fantastic! Really good sing-alongs. In my section, people knew all the words so that was great. We also tried to sing happy birthday to Will several times. Guy was on high form. He smiled and laughed A LOT (on a Guy scale)!! During “Yellow” a lot of balloons came in stage and he couldn’t stop laughing. He looked happy throughout and seemed impressed by the venue cause he was looking at the roof. The roof is REALLY high so it did look great with the lasers and butterflies. Glass of Water is brilliant life. Everybody knew the words in the pit. Will goes CRAZY on the drums. 42 and Fix You were amazing. Very good sing-along during Fix You. Before the Hardest Part Chris went on about his hair and hairdressers being on strike in Toronto. He dedicated the song to someone named Seth. Some of us were trying to turn around to look at Will. I love his singing on that song. Guy was sitting next to him. Viva La Vida was brilliant, of course. The “oooooh” chant went on for a while and sounded amazing. Will beat the hell out of the bell and drum.DOn't know how that thing resists his wrath. "Lost!" was very energetic although when Chris threw the big drumstick in the air, it almost hit Guy. Guy had some problems with his bass at one point but got it fixed quickly. Two songs later, can’t remember during which song, Chris came over to him and asked if he was okay. I guess he was referring to the bass. The C stage was GREAT! The venue at the back and sides went mad when they realized what was happening. I loved Green Eyes and of course DWNC. Chris introduced Will as the scary yet lovely drummer. I love Jonny’s guitar on “Billie Jean.” Sounds fantastic. He played really well that night, even though the camera man was kind of hiding him from me. Oh well… "Lovers in Japan" looked amazing with all the butterflies because the roof was so high do rained butterflies forever and Chris sand the last line several times Before "The Scientist" Chris thanked the audience for being so great. He said something like “You’ll never know how much you’ve done for the band today” or something like that. I don’t know why. Maybe they had a tough day. There was lots of backslapping during the bowing part. Chris slapped Guy in the back, I thought he was gonna knock him over :D (for those interested, Guy wearing bright blue undies). Guy is the skinny, you never know (actually when you see him he is not too skinny but he did have to straighten his jeans a few times) We sang Happy Birthday to Will and Phil brought out a cake. Guy and Chris were singing on the top of their lungs. Again, I couldn’t really see Jonny. He was already having a beer anyway. Guy cracked up at Chris “It’s Will’s birthday...in England at least” joke (I tell, Guy was in a really good mood ;) I think he was already partying for Will’s birthday). It was great to see Phil. Will looked hilarious with his cake and balloons. Chris described Will as the rock and diamond of the band and gave him a hug, Will went in for another one and told him something (these two, you never know between them)Then he gave Jonny and Guy a hug. Cute moment :D I’d never heard Lit ii live and I love it. It’s great song to show the show on. Anyways, it was a mind-blowingly good show. I think even better than the one last year. Can’t wait see them again tonight in Montreal. I hope I haven't forgotten anything
