LOL @ Chris totally falling over during ETIAW and cracking up! :lol:

Joking or not, probably not the nicest thing to say. Also, you might want to work on the grammar there, lol.

I think in terms of the number of tracks, this time they gave each individual track a number on the album tracklist. Remember, VLVODAAHF had more than the 10 listed tracks, they just chose not to publish them in the official tracklist. Length is more important than # of tracks IMO and I think that's what Will is getting at here.

Pretty sure it won't be in shops. It clearly says "Exclusively available from Coldplay.com" so that implies that it is the only place going to sell it. Also, the fact that it has a delivery date 3 months after when it first was open for pre-orders makes me think they have a certain quota to reach before going into production. In other words, this 'limited-edition' may really be that this time around. Once they have received said number of pre-orders, they will start producing it and then they will probably accept a certain amount more before it is sold out. Who knows exactly how all that works, but it seems like it might be something along those lines. That pop-up book probably takes a while to make anyway. So that's my theory! Only time will tell! :)

Haha, yeah in your case I think the ACL experience was SO worth it. I think if I had been off work that Friday I would have been at ACL in a heartbeat Thursday night with you all! So I guess this is the consolation prize, which is not too shabby! :lol: Anyway, you are so lucky as you get BOTH! :P But I can understand being irritated for paying money this far in advance. I'm kind of curious why mine hasn't showed up as a charge even though i have the confirmation email and all. :inquisitive: Guess I'll find out soon enough.

Wow those are some great shots!!! And to think you thought you might be too close! :lol: Thanks so much! :thumbsup:

Seriously, if I was the one who went to the listening party and was going to use my time to write a summary for coldplayers, after reading this thread, I would seriously reconsider. Bunch of impatient whiners! Chill!!! :mad:

Well I emailed to confirm my order went through and asked if they charge your card now or when it ships. I'll let you know what they say. Also, the only way I 'justified' the cost of this is that I wasn't able to go to Austin City Limits! :lol: Since the ticket would be $90 and this set is $92 with shipping and tax I feel I got the better deal as this will last longer than seeing them as pinpoints on the stage for one night! :sick: Anyone else 'divert' funds to pay for this? :sneaky:

I know, right? Well, I have a confirmation, so I don't think we have anything to worry about. It is weird though that some already got charged. I would think they wouldn't charge you until they shipped it. Maybe some of these 'charges' are actually just holds and will disappear in a few days?

Dianne, were you able to get any good Will shots from Austin?

Ahhh! They were in Houston!!! :bomb: I figured they went through Dallas or something! Wish I'd known when they were flying in and I would have been the welcome party! :sneaky:

^ this It's not like they needed to come in here to share. I hate how people turn on others so quickly when they don't give them what they want instantly!

I haven't been charged yet. I used a credit card.

Will sings it.

My favourite part of the live performance is how both Chris and Will sing the chorus...

Here's Paradise already... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xszu7-5-rh8]Coldplay - Paradise (Live at ACL Festival 2011) - YouTube[/ame]

Ha, well I think the fact he had just ran around in the crowd for a while had something to do with the fact he couldn't catch a breath! :lol: EDIT: Here's Paradise already! http://youtu.be/xszu7-5-rh8

Woohoo! Glad you have fun Dianne! A bunch of us were watching the live webcast although it was choppy at times.

Lol Chris is so out of breath from his crowd run ha! ETIAW is a great closer.

I don't believe it was ever promised they would play those songs. Lol at Chris running off into the crowd during Fix You! :wacky:

It is pretty epic live really. I like how Chris and Will trade off the paras in the chorus

Oops double post Para para paradise lol

Nope paradise it is

It should be soon!

Yes! It's weird lol
