Batman

He also posted my friend's Coldplay photos and didn't credit her :awesome: hell yEH :charming: LMAO now that would be rather rude place to check HHAHAHA

you get them for free when you enter the arena.

No Jonny and GUY laughed into each other's faces. Because Jonny saw Guy avoiding Chris and apparently found this funny as well :awesome: I found these at the end of the concert in the recycle packages and asked the staff workers if it was okay to take them. They said "yeah no problem!"

Alright so I've read through all of the great previous reviews, and I'll try to not repeat too many things :awesome: So what can I say, the organisation of the FOS1 left/right, FOS2 and general standing area was pretty much a big steaming pile of unfabulous poop. We were all just clustered together and in the end it didn't matter at all which site was printed on your ticket, you could walk freely thoughout the entire FOS1 area. From what I've heard the FOS2 people were pretty angry about the fact that the runway of the mainstage didn't go all the way back to the FOS2 area, which I can totally understand. And totally unrelated to the actual concert, yesterday was a PAIN weather-wise. It was 100% humid outside, constantly raining, and we always feared for thunderstorms the entire time we stood outside. It was very un-Germany-like weather, we felt like we were standing in a tropical forest omg. I attended the concert with 3 other awesome Coldplayer friends (my second family by now :wacky:) and made us all fancy thirts: and we just chilled in front of the runway/B-stage since we've had good experience with that spot. After a while a bunch of Early-Entry-people came to us, talked our ears off and just stood a little bit too close for my comfort. Then a couple of smokers decided it was all right to basically glue themselves to my back lmao. I mean, it's alright if you just stand behind me, but if I can feel your breath on my neck and there is absolutely friggn NO ONE standing behind yOU please back of a little will ya. One time I may or may not have passionately stepped on my backside human's foot a little too heavily, and it worked wonders in terms of personal space :awesome: During the waiting time inside the arena I walked around to look out for some merch stands. Guys, the prices, guys. The prices were freaking rIDICULOUS. 35€ (39$) for a shirt, 110€ (123$)!!! for a flippin' hoodie. A HOODIE. And it just had some rainbow type on it, nOTHING ELSE. The concert ticket itself costed less than this freakin thing wtf. Needless to say, I didn't buy a single thing. There were also some posters for something between 10-20€ but man, they were ugly. AnYWAYs, the supporting acts were freaking fabulous and had the most awesome voices, holy frick. I loved Lianne La Havas, I already had her album and didn't know she was one of the supporting acts (because I didn't spoil me at all for this tour this time in terms of seltists etc) so I was very pleasantly surprised. And she also complained about the humidty in the arena lmao. She was so joyful and beaming the whole time in spite of the mostly lame response she got from the concert goers lol. I mean the audience cheered, but you know Germans, they mostly just clap and whistle from time to time <__< Okay and since I suck with remembering the order of songs or which songs were generally played I'll just try to remember which moments stuck to me the most: At the beginning of the gig when Chris came to the end of Yellow (or whas is another song? Lmao I can't remember) the entire audience suddenly sang along very loudly and Chris was like: "Wow, that was beautiful! I was told that the Germans don't really sing along at all, but WOW!“ and man, he was so right hAHAH. I was surprised as well. Chris fucked up the beginning of Everglow. Funnily enough though, from where I stood nothing sounded wrong. I haven't seen any of the videos about this song yet and if you could tell that the piano was busted, but to me it sounded perfectly fine. Whatever though, the band just lol'd and Chris tried to save the moment with a joke that he told us about 5 years ago already. As some of you have already mentioned, the visuals were super cool. Really underlined the feelings of the songs that were played. Especially Birds was epic with a big scenery playing in the background with birds flying around. Since the A-stage in front of the huge background screen is tilted, Chris ran up there right in front of the middle so that he was placed exactly in the center of the screen, and at times it looked like all the psychedelic elements and colour explosions on the video screen actually came bursting out of him! The fx/visuals crew had some fancy ideas, I tell you! :charming: My friend scribbled a sweet message for Chris onto a piece of paper "Thank you for being my happy place", and during one of the earlier songs where he came running down to the very front of the b-stage, he stared at the poster, read it, smiled, and then blew a kiss at her. I guess I don't have to tell you that my right ear is now eternally deaf from her fangirl squeal. Fun thing was though, when Chris stood there staring, I felt the entire group of people surrounding me kind of freezing and just staring at him HAHAH. The Chris Martin effect was strong, it was STRONG INDEED :dead: I mentioned Buckin, didn't I? :charming: So, when Everglow began, Chris started with his usually pompous descriptions of his bandmates. And I don't know the exact words, but I think „handsome“ and „nice green pants“ or something like that was mentioned when he introduced Jonny lmao. And of course Jonny went all :cheesy: at that and everybody cheered because of reasons ~ :dazzled: Buckin² happened at the start of the „Heros“ cover. As the setlist that posted above me states so nicely, a single spotlight was on Jonny, and of course Chris came into view after a few seconds and just glued himself to Jonny's side, alternately arm slung over his shoulder and around his side, and just singing into his ear basically. I apologize to my fellow Coldplayers for the unhumanly sounds that left me during these moments :laugh3: There was a moment during one song (can't remember which one it was) where the band was on the B-stage, when Chris was walking all around the bandmembers and Guy was seemingly annoyed by that and just NOPEd away from him, right in front Jonny, and they both laughed their butts of at that. That was super random but I'm here for random facts! After AOAL the band all the way down the catwalk, to the b-stage right in front of us, and then steps down eVEN CLOSER TO OUR GRABBY HANDS :cheesy: and then past us all the very back to the arena to the C-stage. Of course I tried to touch them haha. I managed to touch Jonny's fingertip for like, 0,00000001 second, yeah :awesome: When they came back from their set on the c-stage, they came past us again. First came Jonny or Guy, I can't remember. Anyways, they just stared ahead of themselves like "If I don't look the fans into the eyes they might not touch me“ and of course that didn't work! :lol: Grabby hands everywhereee. I believe Jonny got the most hands into his face and back, omg that poor man lmao. Guy was like „jeSUs CHRIst“ and just fabulously avoided most of the fans buy rushing up the stairs. Then Will came and OMG he just, was SO DONE :laugh3: he didn't even go through the clearing the roadies made for him (you know the area between the barriers and the stage), but clambered right over tables and boxes standing right next to the stage, so that he was as far away as possible from the fans. One moment he was on all fours and the determination on his face to NOT get touched by us, I just, I can't :lol: Chris took his time to get back and he was so covered in sweat, man. It was kinda nasty hahahaha. He also avoided most of the hands and basically flew up the stage, that disgustingly fit human. I noticed the wristbands had some audio things in them? I have no idea what's up with those. And because for SCIENCE I took them apart for you people to look at, maybe you understand the mechanics. The confetti variation was vast this time. Lots of different forms and shapes. The Mylo birds were back, but also tiny little paper squares that stuck the very SOUL of yours, gosh I had them in my freaking eye for like 5 minutes. Also plastic pearly shimmering stars and generally rainbow coloured confetti craziness. And balloons! I caught one and brought it all the way back home because OF REASONS :dazzled: yeah that's what stuck with me so far. Maybe I'll remember other this later today but I hope this was somewhat interesting for you to read :wacky:

I'm ded It was amazing though. LiJ was an epic surprise. My friend got an "Air " Kiss from Chris (how the Frick is this called in English LMAO), I touched Jonny's fingertip aaand BUCKIN happened. Will tell more tomorrow when I'm less dead

Im with Danceteacher! Im glad the a/c is on in here otherwise id freaking melt omg.

gravity OMFG pleeeaaaase PLAY IT

You know, I love music and all, but sometimes musicians just look absolutely ridiculous in their get-up. I feel like I'm involved in some kind of weird stripclub where I'm being attacked by a hooker, a pimp, and an angry customer :laugh3: LMAO ACCURATE! holy frick that guy in the background on the left side, he does NOT like Chris :lol:

LMAO time to bring out the capes and rainboots!

I'd say proofed clothing since Coldplay likes to use fireworks and they won't work in a closed building.

For a moment I was convinced I was blinded by The Gay™ but then I realised it was the stage light :wacko:

well I mean they did call their name APPLE, sooo

indeed LMAO

VERY. You shouldn't eat mushrooms that sprouted out of demonic female mosquito human's uteruses °___° I'm reading a horror manga at the moment (Uzumaki) and it's very trippy lol

You're not supposed to eat that.

Fascinating :surprised: And here I sit and dislike all of the political videos strongly as they have zero artistic value and are just boldly shoving things into our faces that we are aware of anyway because of news coverage and the internet. The Up&Up music video still includes all kinds of political themes but they're wrapped up in very beautifully psychedelic visualisations and just flow into the meaningless pretty other scenes, so they don't really stand out much. I'm very happy about that. I really think this is their most beautiful video to date, the art department really did a great job including all these old footages and merging them with new media, adding old grainy noisy effects over them. It all fits perfectly together!

:whip:

Nah Have you ever checked out someone and they noticed?

Come back u lil shit I haven't harassed you in ages

The band is about 10000% done with Chris by then LOL

hELLO JAMES we used to spam the chatbox together and talk about random shit :cheesy: And I probably spammed you with a lot of NSFW stuff now that I think about :thinking: lmao hOW ARE YE

so... whO'S EXCITED? :dance:
