Politik! Lovers in Japan 2nd. Most epic moment of the concert: Politik -> Lovers in Japan + Butterflies.

Here's another crowd picture. Any Coldplayers?

I remember the woman! :lol: She's here, are you on this too?:

The man who is tired of London, is tired of life. He can't even remember that? :P

I meant the Children in Need concert, according to wikipedia it will be the night from 20 to 21 November.

When is that concert going to take place?

21-Sep-2009: Coldplay donate £1 million to childrens charity Kids Company How nice of them!

Review My promised review and (mostly) pictures! :) Waiting, waiting, waiting... After seeing Coldplay 5 times (Rotterdam, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Nijmegen, Nijmegen) the first Wembley show was the big finale of this tour for me. I wanted to get there as early as possible and I managed to get there at about 11.00. By then, there were ~25 people and the wait began. The weather was good, there were toilets and food nearby, so the wait wasn't even so hard! There were a couple of Coldplayers with Coldplaying t-shirts in the queue, but not much and I had no idea who they were. :P At 15.30 everybody suddenly stood up and lots of people who were sitting behind me suddenly now stood before me. When the gates opened and we walked/runned towards the far right gates, I was one of the first to get through (don't know what happened to the people who were going to the left, as I was one of the first to enter the field). We started running down the stairs, were told to slow down, slowed down, but when we saw people coming from the other side, we started running again and all three of us made it first row (again!)! :lol: Everyone was pushing, alot more than in Nijmegen. I didn't really care as I had food and drinks with me and didn't have to use the toilet. :p A funny moment during the wait was when my friend asked to throw away his banana peel in the garbage can. So, I threw it away, being surprised by the reaction of the security people who were taking it out of the garbage can, because it was actually a water supply for the crowd. Oops! :lol: So, if anyone though there water tasted like bananas, they were right! White Lies White Lies were great again, just as in Nijmegen. The singer seemed much more into it and looked really happy (and nervous) to play such a big stadium. Their set was a little shorter though. My White Lies pictures (with comments), spoiler-tagged because of the size: Girls Aloud Not much to say about, so let's go to the pictures directly! :wink3: Jay-Z Girls Aloud were ok (although the Girls Aloud fans were annoying - they even had the best spots and remained there during the Coldplay show :dozey:), but Jay-Z was really brilliant. It was almost like everybody came for him! I didn't know most of his songs, but that didn't matter at all. The downside of standing front row is the sound, which was quite... loud. Jay-Z's show was great and I managed to take some nice pics. Intermezzo Miller spotting! :lol: Coldplay I'd like to begin with something negative this time. It's because, during the Coldplay concert I didn't have the wow-feeling as I had the week before in Nijmegen. It probably has something to do with the show being almost the same as last year and me being a little tired of Viva. That being said, I still enjoyed myself, especially during songs as In My Place, Yellow, Glass of Water, Politik and Lovers in Japan. Other highlights were the appearances of Simon Pegg and Jay-Z coming back to sing Lost+. The guys also seemed much more into it than in Nijmegen, more laughing, more enthusiasm (especially Jonny, I have a video of him going 'wild' during 42), more jokes. I hoped for a little more front row interaction, but for the third time: there was none. I'll might make a banner next time, to improve my chances. :) Let's go to the pictures That's about it, we got out pretty quickly afterwards, got a LRLRL cd and walked back to our (very cheap and shitty) hotel. The Viva tour is over. I hope anybody will actually read this, though it was fun posting anyways.

How are all your pictures so sharp? :lol:

I know what you mean, there were 2 people (I think) with those video cameras, a guy and a girl.

I thought the coincidence was pretty funny!

The Greetings from London Eye is really strange, because I took this picture last Thursday: And the puppets one: :P

Greetings from the London Eye September 21, 2009 3:25 pm Wish you were here The Coldplay-shaped puppets on tour

Greetings from Wembley September 19, 2009 13:44 pm Wish you were here The Coldplay-shaped puppets on tour

You were the guy who stole the sign? :lol:

Try saying that to his FACE! :lol:

I have never experienced a concert where this wasn't the case. You can be there early and still stand behind a person who arrived 5 hours later, it happens alot. Yes, it's unfair, but it's just the way it goes. :(

This thread is about the new Coldplay lay-out, including the new e-mail address.

I'm going to remember that. :sneaky:

I don't have a picture with me on it, because we were in a hurry and my friends didn't really want to drive past it in the first place. :dozey: I managed to take a picture of the building though.

Now uploading all pictures, it'll take a while though. A lot of them aren't really good, but I do have some nice ones (especially from Jay-Z :P).

On Friday everything was great, especially compared to the Rotterdam, Antwerp and Nijmegen gigs. The queueing system was the best I've ever seen, although most people who were standing in front of me were standing behind me at the concert. :P

OMG THERE'S ALSO A HUMAN BEING IN IT SO THEY MUST'VE STOLE IT!

He must be very bored or very nice to respond to every e-mail!
