Western Canada! That means they'd almost definitely be playing Vancouver...looks like I might be seeing them again sooner than I expected! :dance:

:nice: I'm just uploading my photos/videos...might take a while though, given this shit internet connection...:dozey:

I'll try and keep this short-ish...apologies in advance if I write you a novel :P After waiting in a line for an hour and a bit, I managed to get third row, right in front of center stage. I'm only 5' tall, so I couldn't really see unless I contorted myself but I managed. Vampire Weekend was excellent--they were defnitely one of the highlights of the festival for me. N.E.R.D followed them--that was hard to endure. They were shit. Plus the crowd started pushing and moshing during their set, and didn't back down afterwards...I ended up being shoved back a couple rows and right to the left edge of the enclosure-whatsit. I ended up being on the rail, though, so I had a better view than when I started. Death Cab would have been great had the bass not been about 500 times too loud--I swear it rearranged my insides, and I literally could not hear a thing the singer was doing. Oh well. Then Jay-Z came on, and I'm amazed to say that I actually enjoyed it--a lot. Normally I avoid rap like the plague but he did an excellent show. And then. Ah, Coldplay. I swear, from the very first note of Life In Technicolour to the last one of the Escapist, I forgot about the copious amounts of pain I was in from being crushed chest-first into the railing by however many thousands of people...:stunned: I had a pretty excellent view, considering. I could see about two-thirds of the stage clear as day, but unfortunately Guy was on the third that I couldn't see the entire time... They were incredible. Despite the hiccups--Jonny's guitars sounded really sharp throughout the concert, but he managed to cover it up pretty well. Whoever tuned them will have got the sack. The setlist has already been posted, so I don't need to tell you how amazing it was...the crowd was great, singing through the whole of Yellow, VLV and Fix You, and I sang along to the rest. :P Chris replaced a couple of lyrics with lines about festival traffic, and about halfway through Lost!...he got, um, a bit carried away with his dancing and...he fell over! God, it was priceless. He jumped right back up, but he didn't quip about it once he was back at the mic, which I thought he would. Maybe he was too embarassed or something. I feel a bit bad for laughing... After Lost! they came offstage and walked through the fenced-off pathway thinger towards the middle/back of the audience. I was literally two feet away from them. I just about died...the Scientist acoustic was really lovely, and then Will sang Death Will Never Conquer, which was also lovely. After which they walked back up to the stage, meaning I died again... Politik was amazing. I loved the piano outtro (does anyone know what it is?). Lovers was a really big higlight for me--they did the butterfly confetti, and I caught some...it looked so pretty falling all over the stage as they were singing. They finished with DAAHF, and then it was over...truly, truly amazing. It definitely made that night one of the best of my life, and I've got the bruises to show for it...

Never better! :D Took us 4 hours to get 10 km. I'm not exaggerating. Report coming...

We got back about two hours ago. I'll do my report soon but I have to give myself a chance to start functioning properly again...suffice to say that Coldplay were fucking amazing... *collapses*

Thanks everyone for your reports! It sounds like it was a great gig :D

Yeah, I stash the bodies under my bed for safekeeping. :) Next has a poster up in their bedroom.

Politik

Yep :rolleyes: TNP is thirsty

Nope... D. TNP drinks coffee every morning.

Yeah--except that the bags are smaller than regular chip bags so before you know it you've eaten the whole thing...:stunned:

Welcome to Coldplaying! I've always wanted to go to Greece...

Today it's Politik.

Certain flavours of potato chips--I find I can't stop eating salt and pepper flavoured Kettle Chips unless someone wrestles the bag away from me.

Song

Wicked! I'm glad you had a good time ;)

:dance: *settles in to wait*

I'm pretty well right-handed...I can do things with my left, but I don't as a general rule.

Who Needs You? - Queen

So long as they're cojoined...

6:50 PM and getting psyched for Coldplay the day after tomorrow!! :dance:

It's cause we see her as a threat--Chris knows she exists. :dozey:
