so if I upload pictures to imageshack, how do I get them so they show up on here and are big and not thumbnails? I couldn't get it right last time...

Green Eyes the very beginning, with intro: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO62FujqIiU]YouTube - Green Eyes-Coldplay, Atlanta 11/11[/ame] after it cut off: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dQY2kHP-5M]YouTube - Green Eyes-Coldplay Atlanta 11/11/08[/ame] sorry it's not zoomed in, I was far away and the zoom when doing video is bad

OMG! how did they get a chance to do a meet and greet with Coldplay!! I have the best buy reward zone thing, damn! oh, and I'm working on the vids right now..

chris played green eyes instead of the hardest part, FINE WITH ME! I got some of it on video. It was sososososo amazing! and when they did the acoustic set in the audience I rushed down to the end of the row (I was above them) during Lost! everyone was like what are you doing? then they figured it out and TONS of people were around me, I got awesome close ups of them! SO AMAZING! I love Coldplay so much! Chris gave away 2 of his harmonicas! grr! I have to go, but I'll do a better review later and will have pics & vids! COLDPLAY LOVE

I'm so excited for tonight, I'll update everyone on: http://twitter.com/vivalaviolin , hopefully it will work.

I hope they play white shadows, square one, trouble, or everything's not lost, or maybe even some b-sides or the new stuff from prospekt's march. or some songs they haven't played live as much.

roadie #42 blogged about it today: http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=195

yay! in time for the 2nd atlanta show!

does anyone know if apple and moses are on tour with coldplay like, just have been to a few cities, I imagine they wouldn't go to ALL the locations.

see if you can close out of it, or go to whatever program you use to play music, and find it there...I can't remember doesn't it say on there play cd?

for real.

Pictures: me and some of the other Oxfam volunteers me with the infamous Pete! edit: sorry those are so small, I'm not sure how to make them bigger...but if you click on them, they're bigger.

thank you!! and Coldplay came on at around 8:45, 8:50

yea, it's really fun that everyone knows all the songs and are into it. and there are so many ages and different kinds of people that know them too, so it's really neat to see everyone come together and have a mass sing along.

yay thank you!

how do you post pics directly on here?

Oh, I forgot to mention how cool the big ball is! It's so awesome and sometimes had video on it and sometimes had other stuff..I watched it almost as much as I did the band. I want one in my room!

Wednesday afternoon my mom and I arrived at the Phillips Arena at around 4:45 to meet with the other Oxfam volunteers. I think there were about 15 of us. Then Pete came outside and gave us “Coldplay Viva La Vida Tour” bracelets to wear to allow us to walk anywhere in the arena while campaigning. He talked to us for a couple minutes, and then we went inside, where we stopped at the Oxfam table. We got our t-shirts, and then Pete talked to us for a while about Oxfam, what to say, and what not to do, etc. Sometime after 6 the doors opened and it was time to walk around, talk to people and get e-mail addresses. At first there weren’t a whole lot of people, but eventually the crowd of people grew. Some people knew who we were and were happy to sign up, some didn’t and once we started explaining things about Oxfam, they were happy to give us their e-mail address and receive pamphlets and pins. And then there were some who were mean to us, or started talking about how we need to solve problems with people who aren’t poor before helping others. To those people we just smiled and walked away. And of course there were the people that would completely ignore us and keep walking. But overall people were nice and I think it being the day after the election, were more hopeful and excited to help change things for other people. They had a different kind of vibe about them and were of course, very nice to encounter. But one of the cool things I learned was how many people learn about Oxfam through Coldplay. It’s how I learned about Oxfam, and when I went to my first Coldplay concert, I was excited to see the Oxfam people and signed everything and got all the information I could. We worked until 8:30, which was when Sleeper Car, the opening band had ended. Then Pete gave us our tickets and we hurried to get to our seats. Usually I’ve heard about Oxfam volunteers having seats super close to the band, but our tickets were in section 306, high up and had a view of the entire arena. I have to admit, I was disappointed to be so far away from Coldplay, and my tickets for next week’s show are in section 308. So I saw how it’d be on Tuesday. But hey, last night’s show was for free! Music was playing in the arena while we were waiting, but just before 9, a louder song came on, which I take it was Jay-Z. After, Blue Danube came on and I knew the show was about to start. It got louder and louder until it ended and the lights went off and Life in Technicolor came on! Right after was Violet Hill, then CLOCKS! I love Clocks, it was the song I heard, liked and wanted to know what band it was on the radio, and the rest is history. At the last Atlanta show I don’t remember the lasers during Clocks, but last night, they had the lasers and it was awesome. One of the best songs of the night. Then In My Place, which is also special since last time they were in Atlanta, Chris ran into the crowd and was 5 feet away from me! THAT was magical! Cemeteries of London was also really cool, and Chinese Sleep Chant’s lighting and the video was perfect for the song. Fix You was a great sing-along, as was Strawberry Swing. It has been my obsession for the new album and I really enjoyed it live. Then the band moved to a smaller stage on the floor and played GPASUYF and Talk’s techno versions, which I really liked. I kind of wish they also played the normal version of Talk, but it was good nonetheless. Then it was just Chris alone and he played the Hardest Part and dedicated it to Joe the Plummer. It was pretty played all on the piano. Viva La Vida was back on the main stage and seemed like a relief to hear it after all of the other new songs, and was so great to sing along with at the end, the crowd kept singing and Chris was like “okay, we’re done” it was funny. Then was Lost! Right after, they all ran off stage and were near the entrance to the 118 119 sections. They were like a magnet and so many people shifted to the direction they were in. This is right under the section I’m in next week, so I’m hoping to get to the balcony during Lost! To see all this close up. They did The Scientist, and Death Will Never Conquer with Will singing. Then they ran out and the Viva La Vida remix was playing. After what felt like forever ( probably only 2 minutes), Politik started! Then Lovers In Japan, but we were too high up for the butterflies  . But it was SO SO amazing live. Then Death And All His Friends was on, and after they bowed and left. There was an encore of Yellow, and then they played the Escapist and left for good. I wanted more, but it was over and had to get back to the Oxfam table. We handed out leaflets as people were leaving, and once most of the people were gone, we were done too! Everyone got a poster of Chris Martin being covered in rice for Oxfam. That’s pretty cool though…a solo Chris Martin poster for my room! Yay! Overall it was a good night, and I can’t wait for November 11th! That night I’m not volunteering with Oxfam, but have tickets. At least then I won’t be so tired from standing the entire time! I’ll let you all know how that show goes as well!

is it just me or does it not work for some people? I've tried it on my facebook and on coldplay.com, no luck.
