|Timing on it looks like its a custom video made for/by them for the tour. If you notice the screen changes at first are timed to the song.

You guys got 90 minutes? I got 80! I didnt even get a good festival time. Coldplay can pound out 120 easily! They should be playing Viva La Vida(album) in full every night, except reign of love. Throw more classic crowd pleasers (we all know what im talking about)! drop the gimics. U2, Pearl Jam and Radiohead dont have these gimics where they run into the audience. U2 mastered that already, they created the B-Stage and then made it their regular stage. Look at the last two tours stage design! Brilliant! Coldplay you guys need to beef it up!

Politik is their best. After pulling 2 days without sleep, hours of traffic, thousands of drunk people, dust everywhere standing for hours on end, botchy sound tech. Politik made it all worth it! It was perfect Chris' vocals were perfect, sound tech fixed it up so no highs and lows. Lighting was amazing and the solo, my god the solo. It was amazing! Then Lovers In Japan after, easily one of their best live. I cant get over it!

They only had 2 shirts at Pemberton. The Tour one and Death And All His Friends one. I bought The tour one for me and 3 of the female DAAHF for friends. I also noticed Sweeden. My friends and I had a good laugh.

My little review: Starting off I slowly got aggravated waiting in line to get into Pemberton for what seemed like hours. I eventually got there. Wandered around the site for awhile. Wasnt as committed to getting front row so i stood on a barricade 45 feet back and got a good view of the stage. "How you doing Vancouver!?...Ive just been informed we are in Pemberton! Doesnt matter Cause we are here in Canada" Good job generalising the second largest country in the world. N.E.R.D. only thing they were good for was putting the final nail in the traffic coffin; by getting caught in traffic and delaying their set 30 minutes . They proved to the organizers that traffic was BAD. the 30 minutes eventually grew to over an hour with reoccurring sound problems. Death Cab was very good, 5 minuite bass solo was awesome. Good Energy, and like he said :The only time I will be able to say this in my life. JAY-Z is next!!!" Hova provided an electric set with hit after hit after hit. I enjoyed his set a lot his last was the best Encore! "I love Canada you gotta tell boarder guard to be gentle on HOVA so he can come back! Coldplay...from the first note of Life In Technicolor(the second time) to the last note of The Escapist. They were brilliant. Playing hit after hit that pleased the crowd of 30,000 strong. "You all stayed?" Of course we did Chris, you guys are amazing. The first Sunday Singalong was Viva La Vida which was amazing. immediately followed by Fix You. "Lights will guide you hoooome and ignite your bones....and i will try to fix you" the crowd sang for chris as usual! "I want to thank you for taking a chance on a new festival that you didnt know if it was gona be shit or great. Its turned out great." Then the last part of lost! "Just because Im losing doesnt mean im..." Lost the crowd sang rather dismally. "Oh come on one more time and we'll come all the way to the back. To which the back roared LOST! The b-stage performance was cool. I got 10 feet from the Jesus Of Cool. And after that the best moment of the concert came. In the form of....POLITIK. After Politik I could have gone home happy. We got Lovers with major confetti which was pretty cool...was hoping for fireworks as it being out doors. "This is our last song tonight. Thank you for coming sticking through traffic! See You soon" Death and All His Friends, was brilliant. The show blew me away. I sit here now praying for a 2009 N.A. tour with Vancouver stops to see them again in a more intimate setting and seats...those are a must for a good week. Overall Im looking forward to next year, I've learned from this experience and will that those lessons to next years fest!

Great location. I stayed at the back barrier and stood on it and got a great view. Then ran to see the b-stage about 10-15 feet away. Probably heard me screaming. :P The sound hickups were annoying. Im glad they worked it out for Politik onward. Politik was bloody brilliant. Traffic was worth it. And yes Jay-Z was awesome! He had great energy and a great crowd.

We walked to the airport to get our car and went the other way around. Long way, but we liked it cause we were actually moving at 100KM. Overall music was great. I hope next year we get an Irish foursome. And different stage positions.

I though Rainy day was the begingin part to Death and All OF His Friends....may be wrong.

Will look right into it, Guy seemed normal-ish. As headliners I think Coldplay got a helicopter in to avoid the line. Other bands didnt. I think we were infront of Wintersleep on the way in. They need to widen the road next year 4 lanes is essential as it would have cut wait times in half. The show was brilliant though, aside from drunk people. Took us 3 hours to get into Pemberton (5KM) then after the concert it was 2 hour wait to the airport (5KM) and another 2 out. Then 6 hours to whistler (30km)

Oh yes there was one. I agree with those who said it was a great show. It was blew me away, no other show will Jay-Z and Death Cab ever open for Coldplay again. I have hundreds of complaints about the festival its self. And stage set up and poor techs. The latter of which Coldplay felt the worse of. Treble dropping and going up was annoying. Traffic....you people have no idea what the traffic was like, which also affected the performance. Performer showing up late which was behind me in traffic.

Wroking with Bono can be very difficult. Though he helps make U2 amazing. Johnny is slowly getting up there on Edge greatness. Maybe in 20 years....

Im hoping that they do a full set tomorrow night in Pemberton. As overall headliner I imagine they will go for a good 2 hours. Maybe meet up with Jay...but I hope Chris Does Beach Chair in Jays set. They did a whole set for the Glastonbury gig a few years back. So keeping my fingers crossed! U2 tuned out HTDMAAB songs because the tour lasted 3 years and a Best Of album was released during. The later gigs were far better. But I loved U2s Boy(first album circa 1980) era stuff making it in.

Traffic is fine going up there now. So if youre going for the day saturday and/or Sunday you'll be fine. 1.5 hours from Vancouver. Cant wait till tomorrow. Finally gonna see coldplay live! 2 off the list 3 to go!

Politik is THE best simple as that. Listen to any live version, and it blows you away. Only one song has come close for me and that Death And All His Friends and Fix You.

Poor Dallas. He has to retune every guitar depending on Bono's vocal key which he usual decides 10 minutes to show time.... Edge is a technical guy. Expect more new pedals on the new album in November.

Edges gear makes my head hurt... He has about 10 times as much as johnny yeah. He doesn't even have pedals on the floor anymore. He just uses a 'Pandoras box' to a rack that can eat johns for dinner. Ever wanna get into Edges delay and stuff, google edges delay....good page in there somewhere.

Yeah it goes crazy in Merritt. Im getting wary of the drive up sunday and how close i'll be to coldplay. I just say whatever Im gonna be there and Im stoked for it.

I would assume they were filming a video for a song. Or a dry run for a future concert. Bono said the we're filming line here in Vancouver in 2005 but it was only for the City Of Blinding Lights video/a dry rehearsal for the Chicago shows that were eventually released. Coldplay had full intentions to release How We Saw The World Live In Toronto. Last moment they backed out for whatever reason. Probably their insecurity with X&Y as a whole. One I personally have never entirely gotten. It was shown on various music channels though. Before playing Fix You he also said "Thank you for an amazing show we'll see you in 3 years with great new songs and great new haircuts" Thats part of many reason i feel they felt the show didnt live up to par. I fully expect a Viva Tour DVD. Where they will film is uncertain. But quote me on this. THERE WILL BE A VIVA DVD. It doesn't make sense to not. Money wise i speak unless it turns out that they are again unsatisfied.

Yeah Thank god for my connections. Gonna be a long day though with working graveyards and coldplay not hitting stage till 9:30 (so in concert speak like 10-10:15ish) I wont get home till like 2-3 we figure and i work at 8:30 that day. The sacrifices we make for the best band in the world.

Im stoked for this. I only got a ticket for Sunday. It was free so why complain? Im from Vancouver so it works great. Gonna head up Sunday morning and work my way to the main stage and camp all day. Im looking Forward to the Death Cab, Jay-Z Coldplay 1-2-3 knockout. I the only one hoping Chris jumps on stage with jay to preform Beach Chair? I hope this lives up to the hype. Wish I could go Saturday... ahh well Im going for coldplay anyways. See you all there.

I ripped at 320 kbps AAC from the CD and it sounds very very good. LIT is really good quality. The whole albums sounds amazing through my 700 Watt system.

Im a huge HUGE U2 fan. I got super excited for Viva La Vida at first for one reason...Brian Eno. He has worked wonders on Coldplay. LIJ is a U2 esque song...But not a HTDMAAB type song though....maybe City Of Blinding Lights meets Miracle Drug. I agree with the pattern thing. I really expect big things for LP5.

Square One vs. Life in Technicolor: Square One What If vs. Cemeteries of London: Cemeteries of London White Shadows vs. Lost!: Lost! Fix You vs. 42: Fix You Talk vs. Lovers in Japan: Lovers In Japan X&Y vs. Reign of Love: X&Y Speed of Sound vs. Yes: Yes A Message vs. Chinese Sleep Chant: A Message Low vs. Viva la Vida: Viva La Vida The Hardest Part vs. Violet Hill: Violet Hill Swallowed in the Sea vs. Strawberry Swing: Swallowed in the Sea Twisted Logic vs. Death and All His Friends: Death An All Of His Friends 'Til Kingdom Come vs. The Escapist: 'Til Kingdom Come Viva La Vida - 7 X&Y - 6 I like them both for what they are. With that they are both totally different and I love them both.

That was U2's best song too. If only it was polished off it would be amazing. If it is never commercially released (ala new album) I will be disappointed. Its next to Bad as their best.

They will more than likely play a couple T.O. shows. As well as a couple in Vancouver and Seattle. I knew this would happen when so many major North American venues were omitted. It seemed to me Coldplay rushed the summer/fall tour. Hopefully this Winter /Spring tour will be good, especially with a new B-Side album. 2009 is looking up New Coldplay tour and a U2 tour!
