These are spectacular! and I don't especially enjoy the tied up one. Just saying' (Hope I did this right. Haven't posted in forever, but this video is inspiring.)

This is the first time Coldplay has released a song that I was disappointed in. I love Chris's lyrics and don't agree with people who say it's not his strength. But this one is far too simple for me and the music didn't makeup for it. But, I'm glad so many of you like it. I was hoping it was just me.

OK. I never post, but I have to say, why is this picture strange? Because almost everyone is sticking out their tongue and Chris ISN'T! (And because I haven't posted I totally forgot how to do it. I'm referring to the above photo.)

This is just so sweet; both you and Chris. Thanks for sharing it.

Happy Birthday, Miss Row! Hope you have many Chris adventures this year!

Gosh, these are beautiful.

I see Sean Lennon in the background...

Pretencious: Attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed. None of this applies. Not only was it a great performance, he was the only performer who said he was honored to be there and offered up thanks for that.

Speaking of interviews; this is one of my favorites. I often think the questions asked at these things are lame. But, even the down to earth one here has some depth to it. Also Chris is agitated or distracted or tired and therefore seems more...I love when he get's fascinated by something on john's hat about 3/4 through. youtube.com/watch?v=HhhxDmPZ0dc#

Saw this interview I hadn't seen and it was PDQ (pretty damn Qute) I can be inept at posting correctly. Hope the link works...

My son studies facial expressions and body language as part of his Psych degree. I showed him these pictures and he said, "Jeez, he's seriously worried about something." So...just a little info on the side.

I went and searched there but they only linked to the video site where the video has been removed. I wonder what made Ellen uncomfortable about the sight of her climbing all over a man. I'm just sorry I can't see it again. OK, back to your regular programing and thanks for all of the photos you all share.

Wonder why all of the rehearsal videos have been taken down?

Hello gals. I just noticed something. All of the videos of Ellen Degeneres crawling around on Chris have been marked private and have been removed. any Ideas where I could still download it?

You're a very good girl, Row. I'm sure he appreciated your not getting in his face while he was being dad. Your day will come. I thought he was in California! COngratulations on your close encounter.

Totally agree.

Hilarious!

I hadn't seen some of these. Thanks. The last one is adorable.

I found this amusing. It's part of a youtube thing called bad lip reading. Weirdly found the last minute or so kinda hot. Coldplay-bad lip reading

This is great! Thanks for sharing. I cut and pasted your blog addie and was told it wasn't valid. Is it wrong?

Just a small addition; Having read roadie 42, those were his kids at the show...

Hello Girls: I don't post often, but I was at the Chicago show last night and had a cool experience. I wrote up a longer psot over on the Chicago concert page, but thought some of you might enjoy. When they were walking back from stage C, I got to touch 3 of the 4 as they walked right past me. Didn't touch Will, but I patted Guy on the shoulder, got a very awkward high five from Johnny, (I think giving me the high 5 was a last minute decision and we kinda missed each other's hands and kinda smacked each other's wrists.) When Chris walked by I put my hand under his shoulder on his chest. When I got outside I had orange paint on my hand. Apparently, his shirt paint was wet. So was he, BTW. Chris sweat on my hand mixed wth paint. I can be happy forever. The show was fabulous. That goes without saying. I'm going to try to put up some photos, but, it's not my strong point.

August 7 Chicago Given the amount of lovely detail provided by fans over time, I’ll just write what stood out to me during the show in Chicago on August 7. The play list is below. The crowd was buzzing before Jay Z’s voice came over the loud speaker singing 99 Problems as that switched to The Back to the Future theme came one and everyone cheered. When they came out, there were waves of screaming and cheering that actually had a physical feel to it. Chris was jumping out of his skin before he began singing, springing up and down on the balls of his feet. The band began with Hurts Like Heaven and it was spectacular. Chris kissed Johnny at one point and wrapped an arm around Gus at another point. The confetti and wrist lights are just overwhelmingly beautiful. A number of times Chris told us to raise our hands to highlight the feature. Just stunning. At one point, when the stage was mostly dark, two kids were quickly ushered onto stage to look at the audience and gather confetti. They were wearing those super-sized headphone ear protectors that the Martin family children wear. They were of the same size as Apple and Moses, but I can’t say who they were. Chris also changed shirts when it was mostly dark and the girls screamed. I helped. Chris was apologetic that they were here on a Tuesday and worked that into a song as well as some Sweet Home Chicago references. When they piano came out of the floor on the B stage they all headed back that way and while the light were down it was obvious Will was giving Chris a pep talk as the others stood around him. Will put his hand around Chris’s neck and appeared to be soothing him. Apparently there were two young people who held up signs asking for the band to play Amsterdam. As soon as Chris sat down on the piano bench, he mentioned the sign and that the song was probably older than the kids who asked for it, but, sadly they hadn’t played it in so long they no longer knew how to play it. He said he felt very guilty for not playing it, he said, but if they tried the two kids would be happy but the 15,000 others wouldn’t be. After a moment he said he’d try, but said he was going to quit when he forgot the rest and he didn’t want anyone to give him a hard time. The other guys seemed not to know what to do and Chris said they should just take a break and that they’d be getting money for nothing. He played and then sang the first two lines and then laughed and said, “What come’s next?” He reminded everyone what he’d said stopping and promised he would do Amsterdam next year. When they made their way to the C stage I noticed they were putting up yellow police-type tape along the aisle three rows in front of me and realized they would be walking there. I ran down to the first row (leaving my purse behind, dur) and asked the girl at the end of row if I could stand near her so that security wouldn’t make me go back and she agreed. Thank you, wherever you are. After the set, I looked up the aisle and saw Will with Guy and Johnny walking quickly. Will went by before I came to my senses so I patted Guy on the shoulder and got a very awkward high five from Johnny. Chris was few feet behind them, so I got ready and when he walked by I out my hand just below his shoulder on his chest. Very happy me! They finished up the show and walked all over the stage waving and bowing. Chris was doing this tip-of-his-hat gesture which he did at the opening as well. After I went outside with my son, I looked at the palm of my and saw orange paint from Chris’s shirt on the palm of my hand, le sigh. I'll see if I can figure out photos, but I'm not so good at this stuff. Mylo Xyloto

I read that he was giving his shirt to a particular girl in this video, but someone took it from her. That's why he looks so pained in the photo where he's leaning over. Why ask and you shall receive! :cool: Here is the other pic I have of it..... Enjoy! [ame= ] [/ame]

Does anyone know what was going on in this gif? He seems fascinated. And fascinating.
