Will's drum sounds good! Unusual good almost!

THEY OPEN! ETIAW!

Curious how much Awards Bieber will win. His hysterical fan base must have voted themselves crazy. As for Coldplay, let's all hope of a performance of Princess Of China. Although I guess it will be Paradise or ETIAW, because everyone knows that songs already..

I actually thought of this. As long as they play MX/HLH too this would be a nice idea.

But still no new songs and they again skipped UATH. I've seen enough.

That camera dude standing in the middle of the crowd, what a hero!

New proxy, got my stream back! Up In Flames now, yay!

And the stream dropped again..

Oh yeah, I did it! Let me guess, only missed MX/HLH, Yellow and IMP?

Mm, after last week, should I watch again tonight? Still doubting...

Don't know if it's been posted anywhere yet, but how awesome is this: [ame= ] [/ame]

Yeah, and what are they promoting? Probably not VLVODAAHF ;)

So, what is it than :P

I guess you're right, I saw almost every festival show this summer (and I watched/listened the Glastonbury and Rock Werchter concerts over and over, which are basically the same). Maybe this event was a bit overhyped and maybe I expected too much because of MX release week. They'll probably aren't ready yet to play some of the new songs live. I mean, there must be a reason they played PoC only one time at a concert (and that was during the first show this year). I really hope that they'll use the upcoming 1,5 month to rehears some of the new songs and to have a look at the setlist and make it LONGER. I would be so disappointed if they play the same show I saw at Rock Werchter live and saw multiple times during the other festival gigs. Maybe I just shouldn't watch any shows again till december :P

Exactly! I was a bit disappointed actually. I really thought they would add more new songs. They even skipped UATW! I really love Til Kingdom Come, but why play an oldie like that when you have a new record with a track like UATW? I still think the setlist is too short for a proper concert. How long did they play? 75 minutes, 80 minutes max? Thats way too short for a band like Coldplay. During the festival gigs it's explainable, but not for a real concert for the real fans. And I think I've seen too many shows this year so far because there aren't really any surprises left for me during the gig. I know when Chris finishes Politik he's gonna play a Viva intro on the piano and when the crowd recognizes is as VLV the song starts. I know when In My Place is finished Chris is going to talk to the crowd in their language and excusing himself 'because his [put in language of the country] is fucking terrible'. And why still play the Amy tribute? And so on. I was really happy with the atmosphere though. The venue looked amazing and Anton Corbijn did an excellent job. Some shots (especially aerial shots) were amazing. I also laughed when Chris smashed down his guitar after GPASUYF. Conclusion: an average Coldplay concert, with a bit more mistakes than we're used to actually. I'm really hoping for a new setlist for the coming European tour, because there is just no surprise left for me. And it has to be longer, come on guys, you're not playing festival gigs anymore!

Excited! A hour and a half to go! Have fun everybody!

AMEN! Hahaha :D

Right now I'm reading the Steve Jobs Biography by Walter Isaacson.

I'm really hoping they'll play some of the songs we didn't hear live yet. So yeah, DLIBYH is on the top of my list. And PoC, even if it's just Chris singing.

When Muse was playing Nijmegen last year, they had Editors as support. Even though not many of the Muse fans seem to be interested I thought it was awesome. In 2009 with Coldplay we had Bat For Lashes and The Flaming Lips as support, the second show had Miss Montreal and White Lies. I'm not sure for the Ahoy show if there will be a support act. My ticket in 2009 said 'Coldplay & Support act', this time it's only 'COLDPLAY'.

ID checks at concerts? Never experienced something like that. Not at Coldplay concerts or any of the concerts I've been to. So I don't you'll have to worry.

Andddd, back on topic! I never expected MX to get a 7 from Pitchfork. Because I still never got why they rated AROBTTH that EXTREMELY low.

Us Against The World 'I know I was wrong...'

Super excited for tonight! Will they also be showing the Fedde le Grand pre gig on the VEVO channel?

Yay, ETIAW!
