They didn't play Shiver because GUY BERRYMAN doesn't know what it feels like when: I look in your direction / But you pay me no attention / And you know how much I need you / But you never even see me.

Here's my review of the Coldplay concert at Mainsquare Festival - ARRAS FRANCE. It was an unusual Coldplay performance. Unusual because it included lots of epic song versions and on the other hand lots of musical and technical errs. They began with "Hurts Like Heaven", which they performed it wonderfully, I think it was the best version so far! Then they got to Yellow, which was a great version and gave a sign that the audience was alive... until the Tech-Errs ghost appeared... The beggining of "In My Place" began with Will playing the drums looking backwards... he was talking to some roadie, as if something was wrong. The song went on until the moment the drums were muted and you could hear only the backing synthetiser and Jonny's guitar. Then you could hear them stopping playing and the Booes and claps from the frenchies! Chris started to laugh and asked What happened!? on the big speakers. We couldn't hear the response from the roadies, maybe Will's earphone communication was unsync with the song or the wire of the drum mics was unplugged by mistake? Still, they managed to rock on, that's Coldplay, a band that performs LIVE on a FESTIVAL (with technical difficulties :P). So they started the song again having Will and Jonny unsync with the chorus of the song... which ended up in a new version of "In My Place" lol. It was a relief when you could hear Chris saying " we made it to the end of the song!". They knew how to balance the BIG mistake... an epic version of Major Minues was performed with no mistakes but with a quiet audience. The concert also included the best versions so far of "Charlie Brown" and "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face", where you could hear a more mature and rehearsed live version. They performed "Cemeteries Of London" instead of "Shiver", and Chris got lost with the lyrics. It reminded me of the "Violet Hill" performance at Glastonbury loL!. There was no :o:o:o:o from the audience during "Viva La Vida" and the "Encore" and another mistake in the beggining of Clocks. I must add for all the Fix You lovers and pianists out there that Chris changed some chords during the song which really adds to the song feeling!. The concert included lots of mistakes, lots of wrong lyrics, a muted crowd that did not even sing during Viva La Vida, a nervous Chris during Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall, lots of technical failures from the launch of the fireworks (during Fix You) to the wires and cables that connect instruments (during In My Place), no Princess Of China, no Moving To Mars, just a slightly change in the setlist with the return of Cemeteries Of London replacing Shiver. It was a surprising concert still. Full of new sounds. A Concert that demostrates that Coldplay are professionals, synchronised between them and that laugh and rocks on after a mistake, cause they know they won't make it never again! For many of us, Coldplay still ROCKED the Main Square :D

The UGLY GUY IS ON STAG!!!

Can any1 upload to a diff torrent, like mega or fileshare because Vuze torrent download goes really slow for me... :(

There must be a live stream floating around the net. The truth is out there? Does anyone know the URL? :thinking:

Yea, that would be amazing... my ears would appreciate it very much! I think we should give'em time to rehearse those old songs we all want to hear, you know they're adding new sounds and also trying different ways of playing the old songs + they're in the proccess of making the new album! So if you think of all they're doing, they're doing it great!

Coldplay was Super-"A" tonight at "Where The Action Is" festival, and here's my review! I watched the concert in my house live from a good stream and the setlist was as great as Glastonbury's! They performed in the daylight so you could see all the large and passionate audience joining the band while playing, as jumping, dancing, clapping or shouting the lyrics to the band! They really improved the version of "Everything's Not Lost", mainly the piano riff and the guitar (...it seems that the boys have been rehearsing it!). I also noticed an outerspace new sound and melody for "Charlie Brown", a more rockin' guitar sound for "Fix You" and "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face"! Also, during Viva La Vida Jonny was really ON FIRE with a loud guitar sound, really cool! Then, during "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall" the things turned out much better because it got a bit dark, so the lasers and lightshow was pretty amazing. I guess that encouraged the crowd to jump together, it was impressive! I'd like to add the fact that the band seemed very confident on stage, Chris on the piano in special... he's a real pianist! Sincerely another live show not to miss! I'm sorry for my english! I'm trying to learn it lol Salutes from Argentina :D

ETAIW IS AMAZING!!!! ALL THE LAWN MOVING UP AND DOWN :o!!!

Im answering because its the encore lol! Those parts are not new, maybe a bit modified from the viva la vida era but I can tell you those guitar parts on viva la vida existed before on the live shows but with a lower volume. You can see jonny playing that before the chorus and trough the final.

mY STream is messing up and looping since the beggining of viva la vida

LALALAAA!! Coldplay rocks! Watching live --

During GPASUYF the things were a bit like this: "Drummer" WilL Champion was like this: :smash: while Jonny boy was doing something like this :guitarist: and Chrissy was :dance: all the pyramid. The people watching it live was like this :rolleyes4: and the audience trying to understand it all :gossip: It's said that their manager "Frankie" was doing this to Will during GPASUYF :whip: ? Is that true? :censored: :O

For some reason when I hear "Hurts Like Heaven's" both guitar melodies makes me feel the same sensation than with Chinese Sleep Chant jonny's solo...
