I heard when Chris mentioned Francesco's name during a song.. lucky guy :wacky: btw why is Miller so behind on these blogs? I was hoping to read last night's thoughts today.. and instead he's talking about 2 nights ago :confused:

My mom (*sigh* MUM) thinks he's ugly and his mouth is deformed :confused: To hell with them!! :P

Someone will be posting yesterday's shirt-less Chrissy video!! :D

I actually recognize my hands on some of these pics and videos :lol:

Chris took his shirt off right before the 2nd encore.. he left the stage without it so I'm guessing he must've thrown it to someone in the crowd. Later he came back with another shirt. I saw Chris shirt-less YESSSSSSSSSSS :lol: :dead:

And some more posted on the Coldplayzone Facebook.. I luv Jonny's purple cap :wacky: :stunned: ummm.. a balloon? :lol:... OUR BANNER!!!! The Michael Jackson pose :P.. hahahaha ..someone threw this puppy straight at Chris.. whoever it was.. they have really good aim

Thank you!! :nice: Here's a link to some pictures posted on the Coldplayzone forum by lele71 http://picasaweb.google.it/moleilbevi/ColdplayBologna29092008?authkey=digYBioYNVo#

POLITIKKKKK!!!

Oh I forgot to mention!!.. Chris played a melody on the piano but I don't know which song it was... it definitely wasn't Postcards cos they had already played it. I don't know what Glass of Water sounds like either so :confused:

Aw thanx everyone :) and thanx for posting vids.. I'm gonna try and find myself :P I should be right in front of the girl with the pink balloon.. in front of Jonny... and if I don't see myself I'll prolly be able to HEAR myself :lol:

Good thing I can type this instead of saying it cos my voice is GONE :D Yesterday was the best day of my entire life and ..there IS SUCH THING AS COLDPLAY KARMA!! I traveled for 2 days with my family all the way up to northern Italy. I arrived at the venue at 4:40 pm and met up with the wonderful Coldplayzone staff. As many of you know, I'd gotten the wrong type of ticket and I was supposed to be sitting very far away, but thanks to Simone, Patrizio, Gabrielle, Denise (the Coldplayzone staff) and the nice security guys I was allowed to be really close to the stage. How close?? try SECOND ROW RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE ONE AND ONLY MR. JONNY BUCKLAND!!! :o But before we get to that... Albert Hammond Jr. I thought it was a pretty impressive band.. although they could've sounded a lot better if it hadn't been for a few technical glitches. Moving on... Black see-through curtains rolled down from the ceiling as I tried my hardest to prepare myself psychologically for what was about to happen. After 5 and a half years of waiting.. the time had finally come. People began to scream all over, I looked up at the stage and... Lord help me.... I see Jonny walking up to his guitar.. it was all in slow motion.. he was so tall and so beautiful! I began to feel really weak and dizzy. I was pretty sure I was about to faint so I tried to calm myself down. I look to the side and see Chris and Will arriving as well.. I couldn't see Guy cos of a damn speaker :sad: During most of Life in Technicolor I was pretty dizzy, I wanted to say something.. anything!! but I was in complete awe. Then Violet Hill, accompanied by lazers.. it sounded so much better than I'd heard in other live recordings!! I quickly recovered and began to sing like there was no tomorrow. I pretty much already knew this setlist by memory but when Clocks came on it was such a great surprise. That one song meant so much to me, I had to sing it with all my heart, which I did of course. Red lazers all over the place as I looked at Chris working that piano (:sneaky:). In My Place was a great sing-along.. I had always wanted to scream those "yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"s while Chris raised the microphone. During Speed of Sound the entire stage went purple and the magic balls turned red.. very similar to the video. I began to sing Cemeteries before they had even started playing it.. I just knew that silence before a song could only lead to Cemeteries lol. I sang and screamed and then had to calm down as they started playing Chinese Sleep Chant.. 1) Cos I don't know the lyrics and 2) Cos I don't like it much :confused: All was well when they began playing 42.. I knew this was Jonny's time to shine :D Everyone was really hyped by then, jumping and screaming.. it was outstanding to see and hear. I've gotta say the Italian crowd was absolutely amazing!! I had no idea they'd be so energetic!! Even Chris was surprised.. he'd just let everyone sing for him while he stared at the crowd making an "omg they're gonna blow this place down :lol:" kinda face. Fix You began playing and everyone either gasped or began to cry. Strawberry Swing was full of energy.. I think I may have accidentally hit a few people while jumping :laugh3:. Afterwards, they walked to the right side of the stage and played the "80's" version of GPASUYF followed by the wonderful piano versions of The Hardest Part and Talk.. along with Postcards which sounded very lovely. During that time the crew had changed the main stage a bit.. switching the piano for the keyboards and bringing out Terry Vision :P Everyone went wild as the band moved back to the stage and began to play Viva La Vida.. safe to say there wasn't a single person who wasn't singing or jumping, Chris extended the end of VLV so we could all continue going "oh oh ohhh oh oh ohhh!!!" it was amazing!! Lost! came a bit unexpected.. Guy moved over to the center and gave it his all while playing.. whatever that drum-like instrument is called :lol: you could just feel the trembling all over the place! aahhh!! :bomb: They left quickly after to appear in the back of the arena.. too far back for me to see them... so I got a chance admire the great magic balls. I was singing so loud a few people actually shushed me :stunned:. When they came back onstage.. the most unexpected thing happened.. I had totally forgotten about the one song I had always wanted to see them playing live.. but sure enough, there it was!! It was sort of like a bang! Blinding white lights everywhere.. I could hear the drums so much louder than before ...Politik. For me it was the highlight of the night.. at that poing I'd lost most of my voice.. but somehow I found a way to continue singing and screaming Jonny's name :lol: ah.. I'm even more in love with Politik now then I was before. Lovers In Japan followed, with black and white images on-screen. I heard gasping and I looked up to see one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen.. so many colorful butterflies, it was as if LIJ had now become background music for this great scene :lol: Lights were dimmed as Chris sat in the piano and began playing DAAHF. Something happened during the concert and I'm pretty sure it was during this song... after I'd been screaming out Jonny's name the ENTIRE TIME.. I decided to give it another shot since it was pretty quiet. I screamed Jonny's name as loud as loud as I possibly could, his eyes began searching for that creepy girl who wouldn't shut up (:uhoh:) when he finally laid his eyes on me... slow motion again :o!! He looked directly at me and smiled ...OH SHIT!!!! :o:dead: I knew he'd heard me screaming his name many times before but he was too shy to look :smug: After that came the great chant of "No I don't want to battle from beginning to end!!..." ...awesomeness.. The band said goodbye and walked around the stage waving. I could finally see them perfectly!! They were all so much more beautiful in person!!!!! They had great big smiles on their faces.. very genuine ones.. not I'm-smiling-cos-I-have-to smiles. I have to say, Guy is absolutely gorgeous in person :stunned:. They left the stage and the crowed continued cheering and clapping. They came back, the lights dimmed, everyone went quiet and I kept screaming "Yellow!! play Yellow!!!!!" (:rolleyes:). They gathered in a little circle and then moved back to their spots. Chris got ready to jump... I knew this was it.. Yellow :wacky:. It had an impressively sudden start, all the lights went yellow and I truly felt like I was living my dream.. I clearly remember Guy's face peaking over to look at the crowd in front of Jonny and Chris's blue eyes shining like I had never seen before :nice:. They said their final goodbye. Chris said a lot of things but there was too much screaming going on to be able to hear anything. They exited the stage as The Escapist played. We all just kind of raised our arms while looking up and singing "And.. in the end..." Tears began to run through my face. I had just seen the 4 people I loved most in my entire life. It was trully an amazing show. Thank you so much Will, Chris, Jonny and Guy. After we exited the arena, we went around it to see if we'd catch a glimpse of the band getting into the van.. but after 10 minutes they told us the band had already left a while ago. The crew was busy getting all the equipment into large trucks. I recognized a lot of them from the AROBTTH Tour programme and from the Today show pictures. I spoke to one of them and he said the band had really left, he asked me if I'd be going to the Milan concert and I said "No.. I've already traveled far enough". Something about that just moved him cos before I knew it.. he was getting out an official crew t-shirt and giving it to me :o squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! What a nice guy... he should get a raise :nice::P The balloon choreography worked out pretty well in the beginning. Balloons were flying all over the place even before Albert Hammond Jr. One of those balloons ended up being juggled on Chris's head :lol: A lot of the people who attended yesterday's concert are now in yet another queue line for the Milan concert.. including the Coldplayzone staff. The huge banners created by them also looked amazing. They said "HEAR YOUR ITALIAN CAVALRY CHOIRS SINGING". I couldn't take any pictures but the ones they took will be uploaded tomorrow morning hopefully. I realize I may have written a bit too much.. but hey!! this was my first concert!! :D I'm still shaking and in total shock ......I'll never get over it :wacky:

but.. isn't Casalecchio di Reno IN Bologna? hey it's 9:32!! people just started making the queue line! :lol:

dp :dozey:

People I may not be online for a few days. I'm on my way to the Coldplay concert in Bologa tonight.. well, we've been on our way to Bologna since yesterday, but we made a pit stop in my grandparents Tuscan house. It's 8:55 am.. my brother didn't let me sleep well (:\). And my teeth hurt :P ..but w/e. We stopped by Rome yesterday and it was absolutely beautiful!!! :heart: I took some pics but they prolly didn't turn out too well.. it was too sunny to see anything :lol: Today's a pretty scary day for me, in a good way of course. Almost exactly 5 years and 4 months ago I was getting ready for the Hollywood Bowl concert in LA on May 31st of 2003. I was as excited as could be. Until my mom (mum :rolleyes:) announced that, not only did she not want to take me, but she also had to work that night. That was pretty devastating for me..... she also didn't allow me to go during the Twisted Logic tour cos I was "too young for that stuff" :stunned:. So for more than 5 years I've been (almost literally :P) dying to see the one thing I love most... but I couldn't... and now I've got exactly 12 hours till the concert starts. It's unbelievably surreal. I feel really strange this morning.. but I'm not even sure why. I put my alarm clock for 8:05 today naming it "COLDPLAY DAY".. it will be known as my own personal Coldplay day from now on... the day my dream came true :nice: If you read all this blabber.. thank you.. if not, then fu...... nah jk :P I'll see you guys soon :)

dayum girl!! and I thought having the vinyl without a vinyl player was obsessive!! :lol:

ketchup, cheese and salt I'm so boring :disappointed:

it's not over for me.. it's past midnight and I can still vote :stunned:

ALE IS GOING TO PISS HER PANTS :wacky: only about 45 hours left!!
