Long Live Life

Something catches Guy's attention The band return in the Sgt. pepper's Lonely hearts tribute garb....

It's goodbye... for now... The last bow....

The band in silhouette Liked this one of Chris & Guy backlit:

Filming from a bed of butterflies... Filming from a bed of butterflies.....

Butterflies galore Butterflies galore.... albeit soggy ones now!

It's raining butterflies Just loved the 2nd dose of fluroescent butterflies. One word: beautiful! I hope that in future tours this element of this tour is retained for this song, it was an awesome effect Lovers in Japan is my favourite track on the album, and I also loved the video clips they had playing in the background (pls can we have these as a DVD extas, as Keane have done? :) ) Wonderful song, beautifully executed. The butterflies just made it awesome. Genius.

Confetti time! Butterflies everywhere.....

The singer and the sex-God How is it, that even with the spotlight on Chris, Guy still manages to steal the show, proving that even in the dark he's still ridiculously handsome.,,,,

One of the few shots of Will..... If a concious decision has been made to have "more light on Guy" then poor Will at the back gets hardly any.... here's one of the few Will shots I got for the Will fans....

Jay-Z & Chris Chris thanks Jay-Z ... ..

Just because I'm loosing.... "Just because I'm loosing"

Cheers, I really must trawl through those when i finish this blog!

Lost+ Lost: Chris' drive for pefection reaches new heights when he discovers a mark on the stage floor that's been bothering him all evening!

Roman Cavalry Choirs are singing! "Roman Cavalry choirs are singing"

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing! "I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing"

Viva La Vida The moment I'd been dreading: VLV. Not that I dislike the song: I've heard ity countless times now. Like the song itself which is both beautifully uplifting through its riff or deeply melanchony through its lyrics, it has one of two effects on me: beautifully uplifting or makes me very sad. Whilst I understand the meaning of the song, certain words and phrases and too close for comfort for someone I loved very much but lost and the song became synonmous with my grieving. At the last concert, in a darkened corner of the 02, I wept as it played. Horrified at a similar prospect within sight of the band and cameras, I decided I would not sing-along with this one but concentrate on taking pictures to avoid this happening. The strategy worked, but what with everyone around me (rightly) jumping up and down for all they're worth, very few came out unblurred with my slow shutter speeds... Woo-oo-ooooh-ah-ooh!

Schoolboy locker moment.... Jonny: "I'll show you mine if you show me yours!"

Singing their hearts out Being so close to the band, you really felt the energy of 80,000 people singing along in unison and it's like a massive adrenaline rush that feeds you... Chris bounces around all over the place like "a mad Yoga instructor" but here was one of his quieter moments (physically that is :) )....

Guy is jealous re Chris' lighting Guy becomes jealous of Chris' lighting, as there's clearly more light on Chris....

There needs to be more light on him! [Chris Martin American camp] There needs to be more light on him! [/Chris Martin American camp] And lo and behold, there was: :)

Chris takes centre stage for a heartfelt moment...

The bass guitarist under the microscope...

More yellow moments...

Friends having fun Friends having fun...

Yellow! The Stars that shine for you...
