Guess that's a no then...

Theres our answer! Also, may I just say these professional photos that are coming out are beautiful! I only wish we had them in higher res (for wallpaper/cd cover purposes)

I asked on the oracle but i never seem to get any answers there... Anyone have any idea what they play for the pre-show music. Its beautiful post-rocky ambient stuff and I remember loving it LAST time and loved it even more this go around. Would love to know what it is. Obviously I knew 99 Problems ;) perfect pump up song!

It definitely looked more decorative to me... but what do I know?

Yes, I remember singing Happy Birthday to him.

No, it wasn't you :) I was *also* in 33 but on the right. This girl was a row ahead (the first row after the break) and taking them with an iPhone so they're not even going to turn out great... which is why I felt bad for her. She's missing out on the live experience for some crappy photos? Mind you she did get a high-five from Chris and I didn't so what do i know. I really wish I was going again tonight. One of these days i'll get in there close and dance with the rest of y'all. But its nice to know im not the only one making stank-faces at the rich-bitches who show up. Mind you, maybe they like coldplay too?

Hey! I know that guy!!

One more thing: did that TD wristband thing go anywhere? I got one and then never heard anything about it again. ALSO! The pre-show music... anyone know what it was? Other than Jay-Z obviously (which was the perfect pump up music and I sang every word haha)

If only I weren't prepping for a move at the end of the week. I'd be going again tonight knowing this! haha.

I had an amazing time last night. For the first time ever I had floor seats for a band I actually cared about and it was amazing. Of course we were in the "second tier" of floor seats but still close to the front of that tier that we were pretty close to the stage (we were right by the sound booth). Sure I would have loved to have been closer but I should just be grateful I wasn't in nose-bleeds like usual. Maybe next time I can get even closer. I must admit I was a little saddened by the people around us in the "second tier" floor (as well as some of the people you saw heading up to main floor). It's always annoying to think that there are real fans, HUGE fans, who know every lyric to every song stuck in the back of the auditorium while the rich folks and people with connections manage to get to sit right up front. But that's just me being jealous. The people around us were a mix of big fans (one girl took photos the entire show which was fun but I couldn't help but feel she was missing the actual experience) and the people next to us barely moved, danced, or sang (why did you bother coming/sitting so close if you barely want to be there). Of course Im sure people probably thought we weren't die-hard fans since we weren't wearing any home-made shirts or overpriced concert merch (and why is it than the mens shirts are always the uglier ones... you ladies have a much better selection). I can assure you we sang our lungs off to just about every number and loved ever bloody second. And I got to take home some confetti, something I had been hoping to do since my first show back in 2006. So, fingers crossed that next time they're in town I can continue my move closer to the stage and finally be right up with all the action (that and I'll keep trying to win tickets and a backstage pass which would have been SO cool). The show itself was, obviously, fantastic. I must admit I didn't think it was quite on par with the last time I saw the boys here in Toronto (the second leg of Viva la Vida tour a couple summers back, not the one just after they released the album). This isn't to say last night wasn't as good, but that show was just magical - perfect set list, perfect energy, just perfect. It was a 10/10. This one was probably a 9/10. Setlist was great, performances were great (despite a few slip ups here and there), the set was great, and the xylobands!? Woo-wee! I knew what they were (but played dumb for the benefit of my best bud who came with) but had no idea how incredible they would look once we got in there and they were all turned on. It was surreal. I took pictures at the start of almost every song, as I am one of those people who wants to enjoy the moment rather than be absorbed in taking photos, but being close to the stage (well relatively) meant I had to grab some. I also shot a little bit of video, especially when the yxolbands were on. I started filming charlie brown and got so caught up in dancing that I forgot I was filming and had to stop haha. whoops! There aren't many bands who I feel always perform their butts off but then sometimes pull out ALL stops and REALLY give it, but Coldplay is one of them. Sure, I bet they tell EVERY concert they're going to make it the best ever, and that its their FAVOURITE city, but honestly there's something about their shows in Toronto that really do feel magical. In some ways I think that Chris was just *so* excited that it caused the couple flubs and screw-ups here and there when they happened. Every performer has been there, myself included. My only sadness would be if this was the "warm up" show and it's tonights show on tuesday that is the one that ends up getting filmed/used for the "Coldplay film" (whatever it ends up being). So my only real disappointment (other than not getting to be closer to the stage, or having backstage passes, or even getting to meet the band) is that the group around us kinda stunk. I was hoping to get to make some new friends, some die hard coldplay fans like me, and that we'd get chatting and find out we were all from the same area, or all board members, or something. Instead it was a couple of older people and boring people who didn't say two words to us all night other than "excuse me" when trying to go to the bathroom. 9/10 for sure. Thanks to the fans for making it an amazing night, sorry I didn't get to meet you all myself. And I wont be throwing out my Xyloband just yet. I can't help but hope that if Coldplay film ever sees a theatrical release and I were to bring it along with me it'd light up just one more time. I know its probably false hope but the boys never cease to surprise me so who knows! L.O.V.E.

I thought that was *always* the policy, at least in regards to the recording equipment. Either way, the first time I saw the lads they filmed it (for How We Saw the World) so it'd be nice if they filmed again and actually got released this time. That said, with floor seats I'm worried that everything will be obstructed by gear if they are indeed filming. Either way, we'll find out Monday! See you there!

Sounds fantastic!

I know it's not coldplay but I thought I'd ask... Does anyone have sheets for Adele's 21 album, preferably the Music Notes.com versions that have the actual piano lines instead of the stupid melody line baked into the right hand. Thanks so much in advanced.

So. Both of the ebay promos sold, obviously not to anyone here (or they just haven't received them yet). Interestingly enough none of my other sources have leaked this... I really want to hear it's instrumental!

Still super upset that all my local records shops didn't stock this one... it seems a bit silly to pay almost double the cost of the complete album just for two songs.

I would also enjoy mp3s. But FLACs would be even better! ;)

Logic is a professional level program but the learning curve is a bit higher than you expect. It's used by professionals to produce professional recordings and is not just a more advanced Garageband. With some time and patience you'll be fine but it's not just sit down and use it.

Thanks so much for this, I see MX is in there. What's the source on this? It looks like it's continuing the more recent trend in Coldplay sheets of having the damn melody line rather than what Chris is actually playing on the piano (which they had for the first three books). Hopefully Music Notes has new arrangements soon. Thanks again though! It's a fantastic start!

Anyone grabbed 'em yet?

The whole thing is on iTunes. I was just coming here to see if anyone had grabbed it yet. Would love this!!

It looks like Music Notes.com (the source for the much better transcriptions of the Viva la Vida sheet music) has got all the songs from MX online now. Has anyone grabbed any yet? Perhaps we could all pitch in together to get the whole album? I know theres a few tracks I definitely want to get. I know there's someone here who has posted several in the past (forget who you are though, terribly sorry) and maybe he's got them already but either way I sure would love to get my hands on the MX sheet music. Here's the link: http://search.musicnotes.com/?hl=y&Album=Coldplay+%2D+Mylo+Xyloto It should be noted that so far there's a few tracks which aren't great (Hurts like Heaven comes to mind) some that are alright (they look more like the Viva la Vida official book which had you mostly playing the melody rather than what Chris would actually be playing) and others look like they're pretty much spot on. Like I said though, might be worth all pitching in on (unless we want to wait a little longer to see if better arrangement show up)

any chance this ever came around?

So I'm looking to put together a special edition of the album that contains all the tracks... but the problem is trying to sort out the ideal tracklist or more importantly just what all there is. Obviously there's the standard retail editions of VLV and PM, but what about b-sides, and unreleased tracks. The new instrumental collection that recently was shared also suggest an alternate tracklisting and a bunch of tracks that were deleted shortly before the album was released. Were there more of these? Anyone who could shed some light on the complete list of material along with how I can track it down would have me forever in their debt... Also feel free to share your favourite track order. I'm having fun playing around with them so far.

Anyone? Anyone at all?

Thanks so much for the sheets!
