I agree; get a Fender or Epiphone acoustic. Basically I agree with everyone else above..... Though a Gibson would be expensive. Though I honestly can't give good advice considering I got a crappy acoustic guitar as a starter.

I agree with you guys.....X & Y is one of the best. Viva la Vida is a different sound, but Coldplay isn't gonna stay the same for the entire career. Most likely their sound will change yet again with their new album. And there will always be people who hate certain things. No offense to anyone. But I'd like to see what Eno does with their next album.

Hey guys, this just went up: Following the cancellation of last Sunday's Tampa show, many of you have been in touch to ask whether the upcoming European shows will be affected. We're pleased to report that the Viva tour will resume, as scheduled, in Herning on Sunday, August 16. For details of the band's 17 upcoming shows (culminating in two homecoming gigs at Wembley Stadium), please click here. We'll post an update on the rescheduled Tampa show as soon as we have some details. Thanks folks. Anchorman So you guys are getting a reschedulement maybe after Europe. :D From here: http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=467 At least Chris or whoever's sick is well now! :dance:

Yeah...now almost closing..... I've heard the same about the Charlotte show. This happened before, a few years ago in New York. Chris went on stage with a cold and his voice went out...they had to stop the show. :/

And soon they'd just be about halfway done with the show....:( :cry: :cry: I hope Chris gets better soon.....I feel bad for Diane and all the others who flew in to see them....hope you still have a good time in Tampa. :D

When I went, they have people handing out LRLRL at the gates when you leave. Chris made a special announcement at the end of the concert too. Don't worry, they have plenty of copies! It's really cool that they give out free cds. :)

Ah, okay. Thanks for clearing that up.....wonder what he has. :embarassed: Anyways, it sucks for everyone that flew all the way there....hope they don't cancel on everyone. :( But it's good they decided not to do the show with him sick.....I was reading on their site how early on they performed anyway with Chris having a cold or something, and his voice went out. But don't get me wrong, I don't want him to get worse...XD

Hey, the sheet music book is really good, and I bought it from Amazon.com. I got it for $12, so check there first. :D

Hey, so I know Chris is sick....and they had to postpone this show....:( But is it true he has swine flu? Or is that just a rumor? Get well Chris! :chris:

You know Starfish, I never really thought about that. I'm not sure if he did the heart-patting at the Sleep Train, so I'll have to review my videos and yours. But you really bring out your own heart in sharing your story with us. You're very philosophical. :) Unfortunately, I don't think I could make it down to Tampa......busy with stuff and not sure if I'd have the energy....but you should definitely try to go! Let us know if you have any luck with finding cheap plane tickets. Solar Bozo: The two support acts were Kitty, Daisy, and Lewis, and Amadou and Mariam. Here's an interview on Coldplay.com: http://www.coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=447&page=0 I also posted links to their sites, respectively, somewhere back in this thread. Sorry to make you dig for them, but you could also just google the two. I know they were with Coldplay for a few weeks, but I can't find the list on Coldplay.com. Thinline :chris: :jonny: :guy: :will: :mudkip: :guitarist: I'm gonna copy you Starfish.... Coldplay=Love <3

......wow Starfish, that's quite a story. I'll definitely be keeping up with that thread. 10 days....wow. I do miss them already. Well, at least they can get working on LP5 soon. My story is relatively simple: I loved the L.I.T. ii video, and researched Coldplay. I'd already heard of Clocks and the Scientist, but that was it. I even though Chris's singing was awful before....things do change. :lol:

Haha, yeah, I would if I could, but I don't want to travel. >.< I'm watching/listening in HQ, totally transforms the vid. Thanks. Yes, TheAngie certainly has a large group of people waiting to hear about her high-fives! The band certainly recognizes her now! I know, they come and go so fast. I noticed several limos, but didn't give it much thought. What did their band van say on it? I've never seen it. And on their site, Roadie #42 ust posted something about their accountant. Speaking of roadies, it's amazing how people here can identify roadies so easily. People are all like, 'Oh, nice picture of Joe! He's a nice guy.' Devoted fans. Yeah, I saw a vid showing her on Yellow, but I wasn't looking. XD I was sitting next to some VIPish looking people, but I don't know. I wasn't looking at the box seats either. Thinline :chris: :will: :jonny: :guy: :phil: :guitarist: :mudkip:

Hey, I was pretty close to the person who filmed the 'In My Place' video! That's really good quality. And yeah, I know. I can no longer judge you. :( Those videos are pretty good, though the sound's kinda distorted. But it's still really good. :D Are you going to any other concerts, Starfish? Thinline :mudkip: :guitarist:

lol Starfish, you can never choose! :lol: I can't judge you though, I loved all of them too! My list: 1. Viva la Vida - For obvious reasons 2. Lovers in Japan - The butterflies, Chris's dancing, the video...all of it. 3. 42 - Chris's bug-eyes at the end and dancing were very memorable. 4. Yellow - Loved the balloons and Chris's singing to Jonny 5. Death and All of His Friends - Always loved Jonny's guitar solo, and it was nolstagic, realizing the concert was over 6. Life in Technicolor ii - The final song. Love that song. Alright, keep posting your favorites, and I'll post the final list. :D Thinline :mudkip:

Okay, so I'd like to compose a list of the top five songs people liked. So put your top 5 favorites from the concert up! You too Starfish! :) :mudkip: Mudkip!

No, don't change your name! :shocked2: I like it way too much! Well, my username is based on the Fender Thinline Telecaster. Jonny Buckland owns a few, including his famous guitars with Viva painted on them. The Viva guitars are Vintage '72s, I believe.

Whoa, how'd you find them? Where were you when you got that picture? Haha, good for you Angie! I've never gone for a high five before... :lol: Seems like you guys had a good time though. Sounds like the concert to go! (Except for security :dozey:) So far I've had the good fortune not to run into any particularly mean ones.

Yeah, I also read on the Oracle that he used to run before shows to burn off energy, but now he doesn't have to in bigger venues. I'd like to see him do those sit-ups though! Great pictures, CP! It looks like he got buried too! Man, all those butterflies falling.....did anyone else grab a bunch besides me? Geez Starfish, you should revise your favorites list, you keep changing it. :P I thought the video was good, and liked the Viva and butterfly scene. However, do you guys know what it had to do with Coldplay? Chris did a good job as a superhero, but I was wondering what it had to do with the band. :)

Ha, that's a funny one Duran. :laugh3: I forgot all of that, and these great videos help stimulate my memory! That playlist is awesome Starfish. For the oddest reason I'm having a lot of trouble uploading my videos. I don't think I'll be able to get them. :( But I'll definitely keep checking the playlist!

Hey, I was viewing the playlist. And God, I forgot how awesome it was. The beginning, so dramatic with that veil and the shadows. And so loud....the sound's all garbled because of it. :D I think I'm gonna run through it completely. They were so good, I listen to the studio recordings and think, "This isn't good enough." Also, sorry I'm taking so long getting my videos up. I'm having problems. XD

Do they have to be the full song?

Me too! I was glad when Chris gave everyone a little help...from the floor. :lol: Anyways, I was watching my vids and others, and it didn't look so bad. It actually looks like Lost! cut us off rather than saving us. Yeah, I know what you mean, everything was so good. I made a playlist of all the songs on my iTunes, so I can listen to them in order. :D

Alright, let us know if you do! Lovers in Japan was good! I thought it was better than Viva, now that I think of it. The video, butterflies, and Chris jumping around was just...awesome. I was kinda mad our Viva chant was so pathetic. XD Cool playlist, I was hoping someone got Death and All of His Friends. I'm mad the video isn't long, but I can't judge. I was more concerned with enjoying it then recording. :D

Hey, which songs did you get on your MP3? I'd like to listen to to them even if they have the static! :D

Yes, I thought of Strawberry Swing just as I posted. Lost is a good song too, but I just like other songs. Speed of Sound, I agree with you on. I was so mad once I learned they had dropped it out of their setlist. :veryangry2: Another pre-Vida song I like is the Hardest Part.
