Yes i really thought of that, especially since i'm going by car :D But actually my girlfriend comes along so for the hotel that'll be just the two of us. But if anyone wants to come by car with us, that would be really great. Versailles - Wembley it will be, saturday morning.

Just to check, with all this pressure i'd like to be sure lol It's going to be 9:30 UK time so that's GMT Time right ? that means 10:30 for Paris right ? :D I'm sorry i'm too nervous

Hi everyone, I'm going to wembley, after a long period of doubt considering travel costs + hotel... But i just don't want to miss it. Plus the good thing is that with all the economy crashing, 1£=1,20€ !! Few Months ago it was 1,50€, so it's a great opportunity, see ???!!!! :) As a result 45£ is cheaper in the end than the 1st Category seats for Paris. Found also Hotel rooms around 120£ for both the friday and saturday nights.

I got mine from the guys in the directoring area, in the middle of the standing area. I stayed after the show ended and asked them if they had something i could bring home as a souvenir. I thought no one heard me, but as i walked away, a guy from sound management handed me a setlist. We talked a bit, he was nice. I told him I already went the night before, and that they really did a great job. So i think if you stay a bit after the show finishes, you could be lucky.

Sorry quality is a bit rubbish with youtube. Plus it's quite short since i hate missing the song while filming. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_sgwQ7D_II]YouTube - Coldplay - paris 09/09/08 - CLOCKS[/ame]

Concerning CoL, i can see that indeed we were a bit early at singing, but we were also just a few, weren't we? Usually a crowd singing is a bit more loud, so i really don't know whether Chris laughed because of the speed or the silence... BUT ANYWAY, don't think one second i didn't enjoy the concert! I just wish i could have been next to you all, and have people around me singing, knowing the lyrics. Because as you said, you can be in the middle of a dull crowd, if people around you are on fire, then you are! which means it's the best concert ever. I wasn't lucky this time, but the more important thing is that obviously i know it's not Coldplay's fault :D.

Well that makes sense, i was standing in the middle of the crowd, and where i was, people were not real fans. Not like the people you had next to you who waited hours and quite logically knew the lyrics... So i guess i misunderstood what happenned at that point. But really, the crowd was worse than tuesday. Indeed the football-ish singing didn't fit...

Here's the tracklisting i managed to get : (i'm quite happy with this souvenir!)

well as far as i can remember, nothing particular, he just came on the front of the scene with the balloons in his hand (looked like a little boy lol) and explained that it was johnny's b-day. he asked us if we'd like to sing along with them, in english or french ;)

I'm just disappointed by something: Most people around me, standing, had NO IDEA what the lyrics were. I was the only one to sing. that was particularly annoying when chris asked us to sing with him at the beginning of CoL, and nobody yelled the "la la layyy". Chris was quite surprised as he laughed and felt a bit embarrassed i think lol. But he moved on and the crowd eventually became better at singing. PS: that wasn't a problem yesterday for the first show!

wooops forgot it !! it was played just between COL and 42! sorry! PS: I've edited the tracklist

well to sum up, i did the 2 concerts in paris. It was full of emotions, and i'm now mixed between sadness and utter happiness. Oh and it was Johnny's Birthday !!!! Chris had some balloons (lol) and we all sang "happy birthday to you" ! I hoped to see people from coldplaying but i couldn't. Anyway i hope everyonr who was there enjoyed it.

i have the full setlist from the staff. no ROL this time guys! i'll post it soon

Well Yes is great in my opinion, but i'm so glad they played COL and Speed of sound... I don't really like ROL though, but i forgot one important thing: they DIDN'T played ROL completely, i mean just half of the song maybe, the first part.

only disappointment : just one encore, with one song, yellow.

Can't remember... I think Chris and johnny only.

again, the Hardest Part on the piano was beautiful.

no they didn't :(

indeed

I'm going back tomorrow anyway, and i'm looking forward to it frankly !!! I have a video of clocks, i will post it if i have some time... Now i'm going to sleep (i'll try at least) and have some amazing dreams.

yes i was there !! ROL indeed, COL of course, and that's it for the special bits. Everything else was the usual tracklist, except Yes! Oh and strawberry swing has been played.

that was wonderful. And they played speed of sound !
