Re: Daylight, Jonny did have a slide on his mic stand, and they did change the setlist at least twice during setup (sheets of paper went down, sheets of paper got swapped and swapped again..), so it's entirely likely they only decided yes/no at the last minute! FWIW I'd have happily swapped Politik for Clocks myself, but I'm not complaining :)

I think it was that a keyboard wasn't working so the slick Jo Whiley intro -> Band come on -> band play song didn't go to plan. I'm not complaining- HLH was the highlight for me, both times!

I'm home. Wow! My 5th time seeing them and best by far. All 4 were on top form, and we got MX/HLH twice as they had a half- broken synth at the start :D:D UATW was as beautiful as ever, and Christmas Lights was a great treat. I wish I could have this kind of night every night- just SO good Coldplay at Dingwalls by stickyfiddle, on Flickr Coldplay at Dingwalls by stickyfiddle, on Flickr

Guy has used those yellow Dunlop Tortex picks for years. Jonny uses grey Dunlop nylon picks, at the moment at least

TOOOOOOOOOOONIIIIIIGHT!!!! Will get photos if I can - will certainly report on here whether I get any pics or not :)

Does anyone know if cameras will be allowed? I can't imagine I'll ever get this close to them again!

I got tickets! I'm (metaphorically) on the ceiling with excitement!!! I couldn't justify the O2 and Stadium ticket prices so thought I'd have to miss this tour completely. It's incredible. I'm genuinely lost for words.
