Agreeing with others, the band just seem too modest for a compilation release. If any sort of 'greatest hits' evolved it would be entirely EMI's decision and responsibility.

Strawberry Swing 302 + In My Place 145 - I can't believe In My Place made it to the final two. :stunned:

Violet Hill day! :heart: Woooooow, the memories. o_O

Funnily enough I own all three albums that are up for the Album Award. In saying that, VLVODAAHF and Rockferry are in a completely different league compared to We Started Nothing. I do feel that Coldplay are most deserving of the award though.

Why is this guy trying to sell drugs in his signature? :thinking:

That's great Sonia, I love it. :o

I'm really impressed with everything in this thread! Those blinds are amazing, haha! :D

Haha, this thread makes me smile. :p The past 12 months have been an amazing ride. Thank you Coldplay & everyone else! :)

Wow, I'm really shocked, I seriously had no idea that GPASUYF was such a popular video... I've always considered it one of their worst and thought that most people felt similar? Haha, but it appears that I was mistaken. The Scientist 65 Lovers in Japan 48 + Talk 51 God Put A Smile Upon Your Face 22 - Fix You 13

Whoo, three cheers all around to the Aussie crowd. ;)

Whoo, three cheers all around to the Aussie crowd. ;)

The first single from their first full album? Can't think of any other reason. :confused:

Woot, downloaded it! Not the best quality in the world but it's better than nothing. Thanks! :D I keep thinking about this night... Being the only night of the four that I went to. This thread is completely dead compared to the threads of the other three Sydney nights. Anyway, can I just say that it was absolutely hilarious when the standing crowd all booed Mercury Rev? We all thought they were finished and then they started playing another song! Hahahaha! :P

Yellow The Scientist Speed Of Sound Lovers In Japan The results of this round should be very interesting! :D

Don't Panic Yellow In My Place The Scientist Speed Of Sound Fix You Lovers In Japan Viva La Vida

Let us know when it's uploaded! ;)

Oh, don't worry then. ;) What you managed to get is amazing as it is... well done getting that past security!

Thank you so much for the videos! I've been watching them as you've been uploading them. :) Out of interest, did you get Strawberry Swing, Violet Hill, and/or Politik? Thanks! :D

Okay, so I too was there on Thursday night and it was my first Coldplay concert. What I can say is that it was one of the best nights of my life, ever. The atmosphere, the music, everyone singing along... it was just amazing. The boys have an amazing stage presence. I think I almost cried during Strawberry Swing. I was with two friends. We were in the 4th standing row on the left side near Jonny. And about half way through the show we found ourselves in the 3rd row, somehow. I could see everything! Getting there early and queuing for hours certainly paid off! My only disappointment of the night was that they played Green Eyes instead of Speed of Sound, the song that got me into Coldplay in the first place. Ah well. I got myself a program and two t-shirts, I'm so happy I did. They were certainly on the expensive side, but I have no regrets. I also collected a ton of butterflies from Lovers in Japan. Highlights of the night (the ones that stood out most for me): Life in Technicolor - the months of anticipation finally paid off when this one started, and what a fantastic start it was Clocks - this song sounds so much better live, plus the lasers complimented the song so well, everyone got really into it Yellow - the yellow balls bouncing around the audience was expected, but exciting nevertheless, plus the song is a classic Glass of Water - not everyone knew this one, though the rockier sound of the song had the crowd going, it's my favourite off the EP Strawberry Swing - woooow, this song always gets to me, and sounded even better live The Hardest Part - the acoustic performance of this one was great, and this song is a personal classic Viva la Vida - nothing needs to be said; being their 'biggest' song, everyone was going crazy singing and the atmosphere was indescribable Viva la Vida Remix Interlude - everyone in the whole arena was waving their mobiles around, that was an amazing sight Politik - the usage of strobe lights was really great, everyone going mental jumping up and down was a bonus Lovers in Japan - possibly my favourite song off the album, the butterfly confetti just added to the mood Death and All His Friends - everyone shouting out those last lines, absolutely epic The Scientist - my second favourite ballad (behind Amsterdam), it was amazing how the band entered at different times and eventually all played together Life in Technicolor ii - the last song of the night, and such a great one to finish off with; the multicoloured 'VIVA' at the end was preetty (it's my computer background now) Overall it was amazing night and one that I'll probably remember forever.

Actually, I was at their concert on Thursday night and was in the 4th row standing. :D At Sound Relief I'll be sitting comfortably (but reeeeally far away from the stage) in the stands.

Yaaaay, excitement! :dance:

Can't wait for tomorrow. I'm planning to arrive at about 10:45 Looking forward to see if Coldplay have any surprises up their sleeves.

Here's the description on ABC's website. http://www.abc.net.au/tv/guide/abc2/200903/programs/ZY9926A001D15032009T161500.htm

Question: was the merchandise store still open after the show finished? Thanks!

I'm going on Thursday the 12th - it's so close, six days to go! Who else happens to be going on this night?
