It is indeed! Saw someone mention it on Twitter some weeks ago and I've been listening to it since 😄 It was quite miraculous because I've even asked Phil when I met him in Barcelona but he had no idea lol Many thanks!!

They do play Welcome from Music For Psychedelic Therapy right before they come on stage, but that's definitely not the track that is played in this video and I don't think it comes from that album. Thanks though 🙂

This is Weeping Birch by Dan Deacon. They also play Sunset Village by Group Listening, and more obviously Welcome by Jon Hopkins, Light Through The Veins by Jon Hopkins, and E.T.'s Flying Theme by John Williams. There's one I keep looking for and can't find though, if someone knows what it is please let us know:

I bought a parking spot directly at the stadium for 15€. On the parking ticket was this more detailed map of the layout for the show:

Well you never can be sure 100%, but from my small experience, my ID has never been checked on a concert of this scale. It might happen in smaller concerts where the production really doesn't want people to resell their tickets (usually at prices way too high), but I'd say you're probably good to go.

I remember that video, I used to watch it tons of time during the Viva era! Thank you for shooting it :) I remember the energy felt very good in it.

I should have 1 to sell :)

Woohoo, got tickets to this one! Well I bought 2 tickets but for now I'm going alone so I'll definitely be up for meeting people, especially if I'm going on my own. Also, I might have a ticket to sell :D (Standing ticket, I don't know which zone yet though.)

I am looking for 1 ticket as well! If you sell or hear anything, let me know please :)

Cool project :) Paris, France Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

It took some time to perfect it, no more than 3 days though which is still less than all the time Mila Furstova took just for drawing a couple wings and placing them in front of the stars and the sea. She spent WEEKS and WEEKS for this, I mean WTF?????????????????

Let's face it, MX was just ugly and Parachutes/AROBTTH/XY/Viva/GS were easy artworks, basically just a single thing on top of some background I hope they try something a bit more complicated for the next one like this one I just made as an example

Now I might draw your attention to the line where I wrote "I know it's going to sound exaggerated" but then I feel like I might fall into some sort of "I told you so" trick so I'm not gonna write it. Of course the Coldplay fandom doesn't really matter. I still think that if you just take a couple of seconds to think about how this whole story got created... I think we can all learn from it. Some have found the whole thing funny, I do feel like it's kinda sad, because it's revealing a lot. But, sure, at the end, it's no big deal.

Naaaah I won't be a douchebag, no need to be like "yeah, told you so". (But I'm still posting this link because with the next few lines, I know people will be like "it's easy to criticize after it's all been officially denied".) Seriously though, I fully agree with what Joel just said, and I'm kinda relieved that it won't be this really cheesy thing. This whole story, the way it got to be considered like "news" (literally out of NOWHERE), the way people tried to "confirm" it (based on ONE tweet), the way people just started believing in all of this, and how articles and stuff got made... I know this is all going to sound exaggerated and mean but it truly represents to me everything that can go wrong with today's Coldplay fandom, and it is kinda scary. To think somebody even made a piano cover on Soundcloud. What the.

Yup, obviously not it.

Yeah, and, well, you know, they might have, maybe, MAYBE, more interesting shit to care about. (Maybe.)

I have been watching the vid tonight, remembering how it felt to discover it for the first time. That surprise, that shock! We knew they'd try to surprise us, yet they went really far with this one. I also wish the whole album, as good as it is, had more of this incredible atmosphere. You had the right term with 'hypnotizing'.

I have been quite nostalgic of that era as well lately. I think summer is doing that to us. The album was wonderful, different, it suddenly had that taste of freedom. And the live shows were super long, and they were giving LRLRL, and the tour itself was super long and super exotic but with the puppets and R#42 it felt like we were still very much connected to all of it. For me, it was the moment where they really started becoming special.

I don't think he has a thing about shaking hands, or it must be new. When I met him in 2011 he was the one who started the handshake :)

I can't believe you actually missed the beginning of the show and people were still waiting in the street. This is all so unfair. It was the crappiest organisation ever ever EVER.

Great review Céline :) It was really nice to meet you there. I had an awesome time with you and Raphaele, Angelique, Virginie and everybody else. It was the 1st concert I went to on my own, but thanks to everybody, I've felt more surrounded by great people than ever. Even when I got to my seat, way at the back of the venue, I couldn't believe how easy it was to chat with strangers around, even though I'm usually a very quiet guy (kudos to The Oracle who'd probably say something like 'I told you so' right here). The concert itself was really a great surprise, even better than expected thanks to the crowd. It was my 4th concert since I live here in Paris and I'd never have thought I would hear people scream and sing so loud on a song as recent and kinda unknown as Ink. That was probably my highlight for the whole show. Midnight surprised me on the opposite way. It's my favorite GS song, and yet I feel like it didn't work as well as it could have, I agree with Celine. Maybe it's because I was quite far away, maybe because the show itself felt more like a singalong party rather than a heart-breaking introspective moment, or maybe because it should have been somewhere else in the setlist; either way, something didn't work there for me. Or maybe was I also expecting too much. Other highlights - Every Teardrop, always :3 Oceans sounded very nice too. I'll stop here but of course I really enjoyed every single moment. Now I already feel bad about this but let's talk for a bit about the length of the show. It felt like an alright length at the moment, but I was a bit frightened when I saw at home that they had actually played for something like 70/75 minutes. I know how the band feel about long shows, I know I also rather prefer a short show where you can enjoy every second rather than a 3 hour show where you start looking at your watch after 90 minutes, I even quite like the extravagant, 'diva' sort of thing that goes with it (you know, even though I know the boys are probably the most accessible and nicest stars on the planet, I kind of like the feeling that you can tell that their time is limited - being the biggest band around is a busy job, they've got stuff to do and families and all that. Really, I find that really cool in a way! Even inspiring. I like busy people.). But really, 70 minutes, that's going a bit far. We all knew what we paid for, we knew it wouldn't be long, we'd still pay to go the same show tomorrow again if they offered it, but still. Doing a longer show than usual once in a while, without worrying about a runner, would be an appreciable surprise, especially with a 6-show tour. I guess my frustration also comes from the fact that the songs themselves felt shorter - it was almost as if we got a radio edit of God Put A Smile. The situation is not yet like that thing Madonna did a few years ago, making fans pay a fortune to watch a 45 minutes show, but it's kinda starting to look like it, so I'm just saying it because I feel a bit worried that it won't get any better in the next years. You know Chris, Bruce Springsteen plays veeeery long shows - just saying ;) But then again, I properly LOVED the show, I got enough memories to live on for the next 2 years, and I know everybody else did too, so it's all alright :) As always, thank you so much for those moments to my favorite band.

Tash, I love you so much. I just got a ticket. Thanks guys :D Edit: row U, seat 20, exactly it!

Yeah right now I'm just on the same waiting page as everyone else. What a shame.

Didn't even get past the category selection -.-
