Pink too. :) I think he switches shirts between the main stage and the c-stage.

I think I saw an interview once where Jonny said he used to be vegetarian actually but he stopped being so when he went to a country, China I think it was, and he didn't know how to tell them that he didn't eat meat and he didn't want to be rude so he ate the meat. Ever since then he continued to eat meat. :P

@Phoebeo That is so amazing!! :D Ahhhhh, to receive a phone call from Chris Martin. THE Chris Martin...:dazzled: I would be speechless...honestly I don't know what I would do in the moment it happens. :P But you are indeed very lucky and have a fantastic friend, who was also lucky to have met him. :)

Yeah I was looking for it on iTunes today too. :\

Just wondering...what time does the sun set over there?

Thank you. :nice: I know me too, especially during the singalongs I felt like I was there! The London crowd is amazing! :) I wonder that too! :lol: I wish I was! :P

It's been a while since I posted so I've had a ton of random Coldplay thoughts. :D But here's a few more recent ones. :) The morning of my graduation, the Paradise video came out on VH1. :awesome: I ordered a Coldplay mug and it arrived that day too. :D Also that same day my sister gave me a bracelet with a butterfly charm that had Coldplay inscribed in it as a graduation present. :dazzled: At Disneyland for Grad night I heard Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall, and it totally woke me up cause it was already 1:30am and I was getting sleepy. :P And today is my 4 year anniversary since discovering Coldplay. :wacky: Oh also, hearing the livestream from today was a nice way to celebrate! :dance:

^In your profile pic and in this picture...he's doing like the same thing with his hand. :P I don't know why...but I found that amusing. :lol:

"Nobody said it was easy It's such a shame for us to part Nobody said it was easy No one ever said it would be this hard Oh, take me back to the start" I've been feeling nostalgic... :( The Scientist is fitting perfectly right now. :P

They played it at one of the stations over here as well. I thought that was pretty cool. :)

^The secret it to wear a self-customized Coldplay jacket. ;)

That's fantastic Dianne! :D Glad that Chris acknowledged you. The thing about his trousers and underwear was funny. :)

Yeah I wish they had played it as well!I saw when he was tweeting; hopefully they do play Swallowed in the Sea for you on Friday. :)

:o Dianne is very lucky!!! I'm guessing she met them? :D

I just saw a picture of the night's planned setlist and "Til Kingdom Come" was on there. I wonder why they decided not to play it afterall. :(

She got a shout out from Chris at last night's concert at the beginning of Clocks. :)

^very cute! :heart: Chris is too adorable. :dazzled:

Review of Last Night's show I'm always left with that bittersweet feeling at the end of each Coldplay concert I attend. They're playing 4 concerts this week here in SoCal and it's just torturous not being at the other 3. It's torturous because Coldplay put on such a fantastic show that it leaves you wanting more each time! They're my favorite band so it's no surprise then that I feel inclined to want to go to all their shows, but I understand that isn't always possible, and I'm truly grateful to just have the chance to see them. Anyways about the concert...it was just mindblowing. From the Xylobands to the changes in how the songs are played, they left speechless. The most impacting part of the night was probably Yellow for me, and I've seen them perform that song each time I've gone to see them so it surprised me how they were able to make it even better this time. The beginning of Yellow with Chris on piano was beautiful, and while Chris was singing the song to us, I was singing it right back to Coldplay and meaning every single word I said. Another moment (well moments) that left me in awe was when the Xylobands started flashing. I looked around the arena and it was truly mesmerizing. It definitely is a nice touch to the show, and when Chris asked everyone to raise their xylobands during Charlie Brown, that was just beautiful. I was surprised that there were also fireworks. I think they were a nice addition to the show; they really added to the grandiosity and excitement of the concert. The lasers, the confetti, the balloons, the stage visuals...were all perfect in making the night the grand spectacle that it is. Before the show started I was trying to figure out what section Coldplay was going to be at for their C-Stage performance. It seemed like it was going to be in the section over next to mine since there was a white tarp over the roof of a little building they have in front of the seats in that section but I wasn't sure. I really hoped it was since it wasn't too far from me! :D I was right because when they played Us Against the world it was right there! :dance: I love that song, it's my favorite from MX. Chris asked us to welcome each member as they arrived on the small stage with him, and we did, cheering for each band member as they joined him! :D They all deserve special recognition. :heart: All of the band members were in top form, as far as I could tell, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves. :) Chris was his usual energetic self running all over the place and doing his crazy dance moves and jumps. There was a lady dressed as an elephant so he noticed her and I think he was shaking her hand or patting her head (?) at one point. :lol: Will had so much energy on those drums!! Jonny and Guy were also flawless with their guitars. This was also the first time, I think, that I go to a Coldplay concert and Chris doesn't mess up on a song. :lol: I don't mind the messups actually though, they just add to the personality of the show. :) The crowd wasn't bad like I expected it to be, with it being an LA crowd, so that was good. In my area people were standing for most of the show, only sitting down for Up in Flames and Warning Sign, which I don't understand since I generally don't see why one can sit at a Coldplay concert! They also sang along and when they finished Paradise, said "goodbye", and left the crowd started doing the Oooh ooh oooooh part from Paradise to try to get them back on stage. That was pretty cool cause I definitely didn't expect that, but it was fun doing it. :D Other outstanding moments for me was the Scientist for personal reasons. Really touching on a personal level, and I loved the singalong we did for it. :wacky: This was also the first time I heard Warning Sign, Don't Let it Break Your Heart, Up In Flames, and Princess of China live. Loved hearing them all, especially Warning Sign! My only critique was with Princess of China, it kind of bugged me that with Rihanna's part, the song was not in synch with her lips in the video...not a big deal I suppose since she's not actually there anyways but still..haha that bothered me a bit. :P Viva La Vida was amazing live just as always. It's my favorite song so it's a joy to hear it live. Charlie Brown and Hurts Like Heaven were also great crowd pleasers. I loved, loved, LOVED hearing Lovers in Japan again! I had been missing it from the setlist. Loved the song and it was nice seeing that they still had confetti during the song. :) Actually, I enjoyed every song. :lol: It was a great concert. I had so much fun. I'm not sure if it's been my favorite one so far because each Coldplay concert has been so special to me. They're all my favorite. :P I'm not sure if this was the last concert for me with my sister since I'm going to college in Rhode Island for the next four years so it was nice sharing this with her again. I sure hope it's not my last time seeing them though! Here's to hoping they still want to make more albums and tour for them! I still hope they add another leg to this US tour though, and maybe I'll get to see them in Boston or NY when I'm over there in the fall! After all they still haven't added NY shows, I believe. :) Can't wait t see Coldplay again and enjoy the happiness that their live shows bring me! And to quote Mr. Roadie #42 "never a dull moment" at a Coldplay concert. ;)

Last night's concert was just incredible and I appreciate having been able to go to at least one of the four shows here in SoCal but it's still depressing knowing they're only an hour away and I'm not there. :'(

That was so fantastic! :D I will post my review tomorrow or in the coming days. I'm a very happy, happy person right now. :dance: Currently blasting Viva La Vida in the car. :P
