I got one of the Coldplay at brixton academy - 16th June 2008 t shirts. Was £20 but hey they had to make money out of a free show somehow and it was the only chance to buy that particular top so i can say "I was there" as it wont happen again for a fair while i expect :)

I dont really know tbh but i think they've changed if from yesterday. They've just gone off and are now positioned somewhere else...like last night lol. So i guess yellow now ;)

Something different is happening.....chris singing, jonny on guitar, will on drums but guy banging a drum then switching to bass. May have happened yesterday but i was on the barrier so you would think i would have noticed lol

Yeah it sometimes flashes into colour! Still think they are playing the same set although im not 100% sure they just played chinese sleep chant or 42 just now coz i couldnt see him go back to the piano. Pretty sure its square one now though coz chris' movements are exactly the same as last night! lol

ooo good we're back. From what ive seen so far, i think the setlist has been the same as last night upto viva la vida :rolleyes:

Took about 20minutes for coldplay to come on after hopkins finished last night so hopefully it'll be no more than that tonight :) My ears are still ringing from last night :stunned:

well the stage will be easier to see when they're on. watching it is bringing back so many memories of last night. The video on the big screen is exactly the same, getting towards the end now i think *EDIT*: Just finished lol

well im hoping they'll keep them on for coldplay....:rolleyes:

indeed it is and hopkins is on nowwww..... Black and white is annoying aswel lol. Still...this is better than nothing i suppose so we shouldn't complain

I guess we'll just be guessing what songs they're playing then lol. I'll guess now that the setlist will be very similar to brixton last night. Also, anyone know what time they're on tonight? Coz am i right in saying that it is 8:50 in barcelona now and john hopkins still hasnt been on?

Are we gonna get to watch the whole thing live on that webcam? Just no sound though :cry:

Yeah i quickly got up and checked the ground when i heard lol. Despite the name i'm actually fairly small lol, short blonde hair, was wearing a black hoody and mostly leaning against the barrier in the queue lol. Also i was on the phone a fair bit, sorting some stuff about where i should of actually been haha. Haha we'll say it was Jonny's even if we're not sure :cool:

Well, that was awesome. Got there around 3pm, 6th in the queue so was happy with that. There was this american guy who got there before us and had sat on a needle and it pierced his skin! People were so worried for him and he was told to go to hospital. We all felt so sorry for him BUT he made it back before doors after having some injection at the hospital :). TOUTS!!!........are so gay and stupid lol. The amount of them that came upto us asking how the tickets worked and walked off in a strop coz they realised they were beaten was a joke. However just about all of them came back asking for any tickets they could buy.... :rolleyes: Anyways, also got one of them politik books which was random but something for the people who got there early. Oh and Chris martin just happened to walk off the street, past the queue and nobody realised until he had gone passed lol. I saw him come round the corner, hat on and head down i just thought it was a randomer, so annoyed! The viva la vida artwork that was on the wall was interesting....while they were putting it up the guy whos wall it was came along and got a lil stressy but they guy said he'll fill in the holes they drilled before they leave lol. It didn't actually have viva la vida on it until fairly late on when a guy came and painted it. Moving on, doors finally opened a little after 6.30pm and security were confused by the 1st people, turns out that guy wasnt at the briefing he was supposed to be at and got in trouble haha. Into the venue, headed straight down to the barrier and got in just left of centre which was exactly where i wanted to be :D. Seemed to take a long time to fill up, persumably due to the ID checks although speaking to people later they were just randomly checking peoples ID later on. Support wasnt bad, not exactly what i would listen to but the screen was kool and at the end of the day, he's dam good at what he does but then it was time for a real band to come on :P. I like LIT as an opener but i dont like the way they did it. To have the song already playing and then just come out and play along with it surely causes doubts? Still brilliant anyhow, Violet hill was great and then i was so surprised by Clocks coming then and followed by In My Place! Actually like everyone i didn't have a clue what to expect which was good tbh. Square one was possibly the biggest surprise being played when it was and it was great apart from at the end...i dont like it when chris changes lyrics and that kinda thing :cry:. Then when they went upstairs to play everyone was just :o. It made it feel as though they were including everyone, except the people who were right underneath them so they couldn't see lol. Wills vocals were great btw. Back down to the stage and Fix you was great, pleased it didn't close as Lovers in Japan worked really well and all the confetti was cool and kinda different. There was so much of it! The girl working one of the machines couldnt do it properly so a security guy helped her, lol. I have a perfect condition, bright green butterfly :cool: Btw the broken guitar....chris handed it to the people on the middle of the barrier, several hands were all over it including that american dude and then it was immediately taken away by security. I still cant believe it actually broke, he didn't exactly throw it he just dropped it (purposly though). Think it was actually Johnny's guitar coz chris said sorry mate to him after. Came out after only to meet james corden (the chubby guy from gavin and stacey). Got a nice pic with him! Hung about afterwards for a bit, saw will in the window above a door so waited there and then suddenly 2 of the band came out the door at the far end. One person told me it was guy and chris and another person told me it was guy and johnny :confused:. Waited a bit longer but nothing happened so i left leaving me enough time to get back to the station car park which closes at 1:30am. Got to rickmansworth at 0:45am only for the car park to be locked already. Nice hour stroll home for me and my mate which was a tad annoying. However was still an awesome night, got my car back now and i will be complaining to the car park people :veryangry2: PS: I saw you Kara and Sandi! I was only 4 people to your right but didn't realise. I was on the phone when Sandi came to the front of the queue, didnt know and the time :angry:. Also, really pleased you get the setlist kara as you were the 1st to ask for it lol. That security guy who gave you it is safe. He's like a mate to me now coz im up there so often :)

I know i have the tickets infront of me now :) coz my mate who won them doesnt have a printer, lol. Its not the fact that im under 18 i was just wondering really. Ahh thats a shame, at Brixton the normal rule is that under 14s have to be seated in the circle and i guess as the tickets were randomly allocated they couldn't do much about it. Suppose i may see you in the queue tomorrow! lol

If i go early i'll most probably be there by 4 ish. Brixton academy is just supurb wherever you stand really but the main reason i wanna get there early im coz its such a perfect chance for some great pictures and the only real chance of getting so close to the band! Btw just out of interest was this originally said to be over 18s only?
