Your Hand In Mine The Strokes

Game of Thrones - Season 2, episode 1

It's starting! :D

If you want to listen in HQ, yes. In standard quality, no :)

I love Martin Freeman and I think he had a great performance in the 2nd season of Sherlock, but I'm really happy for Andrew! He really did a fantastic work and he totally deserved the award! :D I'm a bit sad for Benedict though. I don't know the work of the other nominated actors, to be honest, but it's a bit unfair that he hasn't received any BAFTA award yet! :( It was clear that he was a bit nervous, which made him even more adorable! :wacky: By the way, that's a really nice picture! :nice:

(A resposta vem um bocadinho tarde, mas pronto :embarrassed: ) Eu fui toda contente para a frente do palco a pensar que ia ver super be e cheguei lá e não via era nada! O palco está a um nível alto e eu também sou baixinha :\ Por isso acabei de mudar para o lado da grade lateral e vi tudo mesmo bem! :D Felizmente, não tive nenhum camera man à minha frente como no Alive! :angry: Eu também gosto muito da minha t-shirt :D :laugh3: Era para ter comprado a preta, mas acabei por comprar aquela (com uma espécie de círculo) e acho que cada vez gosto mais dela! :D Eu também gostei :nice: Fomos as únicas corajosas lá da fila :laugh3: Fiquei com pena de não termos ido todas para o mesmo sítio, mas é sempre uma confusão quando abrem as portas! :\

Acabei de postar a minha review na thread do concerto. Se quiserem, podem ir lá ler :) Mas bom, de uma forma geral, foi fantástico! Fiquei super feliz com o meu lugar! :D Consegui ver bem para o palco e para a passadeira! Consegui ver o Jonny e o Chris a serem todos fofinhos um para o outro durante a In My Place e o Chris a saltar incrivelmente alto durante a ETIAW mesmo em frente a mim! :dance: A chuva foi um bocado chata :( Choveu mesmo muito durante várias horas e eu não levei casaco, já estava para lá a tremer de frio :( Depois de ver as bandas de aberturas a tocarem de baixo dos toldos e com guarda-chuvas, cheguei a pensar que era melhor se cancelassem o concerto... Mas, felizmente, a chuva parou um bocadinho e depois correu tudo bem! :D Até deu para o Chris rebolar lá no chão! Molhou-se todo, coitado :laugh3: A Warning Sign e a Speed of Sound foram muito boas! Amei! Em relação ao merchandising, também achei super caro! Fiquei parva quando vi a camisola com capuz a 90 euros :o Acabei por comprar a camisola que tem uma foto deles em forma de circulo à frente e as datas da tour europeia àtras, e o tourbook, que é muito bom!

Olá! :D Foi muito, muito bom! Tenho a certeza que em 2013, logo a seguir à tour na Nova Zelândia e na Austrália, eles vão fazer a tour na América do Sul e assim já os vão poder ver também! :D

Ok, finally, here's my review! I arrived at the stadium few minutes before 11 AM. I had a ticket to Golden Circle and I went to the proper gate to wait there. There weren't that many people, maybe 50, as opposed to the other gates where people who had other tickets were waiting. They opened the doors at 4:30PM, and 5 minutes later I was inside the stadium. Now, here's some important information for those who are going to their concerts in stadiums: I went to the front of the stage but I couldn't see very well! I am not very tall, but the stage is in a very high level and if you're going to the right front of it, you won't see very good! I moved to the side of the main walkway. This was pretty much my view to the stage: I recommend everybody to go to that place, because you'll have a good view to the stage and a great view to the walkway, and it's well-know that Chris, mainly, but also the other members, usually walk there. You'll see them right in front of you! I was very happy with the place I had! At 6PM, it started raining. A lot! The supporter bands had to play under some sort of awnings, as you can see on the picture above. Rita Ora didn't really cared about the rain and ran and jumped all the time, but Marina had to perform with a umbrella. I liked both performances, to be honest! It didn't stopped raining until 9:30 PM! That was the hardest part! (Look what I did here! :wink3: ) The security guys gave everybody waterproofs, who kind of looked like plastic bags , but we were already all wet! It was a bit uncomfortable, because it rained a lot for hours and we couldn't really move a lot! As you can see here, this was pretty much how everybody was looking at the time: Anyway, surprisingly, it stopped raining when they started setting up everything for Coldplay! The concert started and I saw yesterday on the news that it kept raining for 20 minutes in the beggining and in the the end but I can't really remember! I love Back To The Future theme + MX + Hurts Like Heaven + In My Place! I think it's a great way to start the concerts! Also, all those giants screens, lasers, confettis and fireworks gave it an impressive effect! I loved the beggining of Yellow with Chris on Piano. There were balloons during Lovers in Japan. I like how they play Violet Hill and then GPASUYF, they are great songs together and I think it's a great way to finish the "1st part" in the main stage. Then, there was the part of the concert in the X-stage. It's not that I love Princess of China or their collaboration with Rihanna, but I've already gotten over it, and I really loved the live version! Warning Sign is amazing too! It's one of my favourite songs and played acoustic is fantastic! I really loved it, specially the end when Chris was alone playing piano! (I posted my video of it in the previous page) Don't Let It Break Your Heart, Viva La Vida, Charlie Brown and Paradise were when the crowd went totally wild! I think it's a great combination of songs and the xylobands really work well! It's amazing to see the whole stadium glowing in the dark! Then, they went to the C-stage. I couldn't see anything but I didn't really mind, because it's really nice that they care about people in the back and play songs next to them :) I completely loved the acoustic version of Speed of Sound! I'm sure the original version would be more magnificient in the stadium but I loved how they played it! In the end, they played the usual songs. Chris grabbed a Portuguese flag from the audience and he kissed the stage before they left! That was really nice of him! :D I think they enjoyed playing here, in spite of having rained a lot. Guy and Jonny smiled a lot! Chris said nice things to us! :D Now, about the setlist: It's the Mylo Xylotour and, obviously, they have to play more songs of this era. Also, they already have 5 albums, so there are some songs now that "really need" to be in the setlist, if you know what I mean. A big part of the audience only knows the singles and the most well-know songs. For example, during Warning Sign, I was a bit embarrassed because my cousin and I were the only people who were singing it and I could totally hear us! Obviously, the most faithful fans always want some less played songs, but we're the smallest part of the audience! (I think Warning Sign was their gift for us! :) ) To sum-up, I think they knew how to" build" the setlist and make a good mixing between the previous eras and the MX one. They knew how to combine the songs and the differents stages! I think it was a good setlist. I saw them live in July, less than an year ago, and there were 7 new songs in this concert, so I can't really complain! I had a great place. Visually, it was fantastic with all the lasers and giant screens and, specially, the xylobands. For me, it was an awesome concert! :D

While I don't write my review, I leave my video of Warning Sign here [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jY83te1ryWM&feature=g-upl]Warning Sign, Coldplay - Dragão Stadium, Porto, Portugal, 18.05.2012 - YouTube[/ame] :)

I just found this video of their performance at the C-stage: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qptHrzXQlqY&feature=related]Coldplay At Estadio Do Dragão HD - Full Surprise Performance at Stage C -18/05/2012 - YouTube[/ame] It has a really great quality! (I'm sorry if this is a repost!) By the way, I'll write my review of the concert and post some pictures and videos as soon as possible :)

I've been watching some videos of the rehearsals on youtube and I think the beginning of the setlist will be something like this: MX Hurts Like Heaven In My Place Major Minus Lovers in Japan. Nothing new!

This looks good! :D I'm happy they are going to play Lovers in Japan! We didn't have any concerts during the Viva tour in Portugal, so it will be good to see some of those songs live tonight! :D

Chris is wearing a jersey of the Portuguese national football team and the number 7 is like the number of the most important players :)

Yes, exactly, I was referring to that! It's not so clear to see, but, apparently, there's also another one in the other side of the stage. Yeah, in December there was only one in the middle of the stage, so I guess we'll have something very different during the European tour!

Suponho que eles façam algum tipo de barreiras entre a área do golden circle e do relvado, senão não tinha lógica haver bilhetes com preços diferentes! Aqui neste vídeo http://www.rtp.pt/noticias/index.php?article=553893&tm=4&layout=122&visual=61 já dá para ver mais ou menos como é que aquilo vai ser, mas também não vejo nenhum tipo de barreiras nem nada a separar :confused: Em relação à distribuição das Xylobands, eu sei que eles fizeram isso nos concertos de Dezembro, mas, pelos vistos, havia quem roubasse algumas ou algo do género e eles deixaram de fazer. Sinceramente, não sei se eles fizeram isto nos concertos de Abril/Maio :confused: E obrigada pelas informações! :D

I just found a video about the setting up of the stage http://www.rtp.pt/noticias/index.php?article=553893&tm=4&layout=122&visual=61 It's in Portuguese but the main informations are that the doors open at 4PM, the support bands, Rita Ora and Marina and the Diamonds, start playing at 8PM and Coldplay will play at 22PM. There will be around 50 000 people in the stadium! Also, you can see the stage and it looks that it's already set up. It's a bit different and I think it will have some kind of walkway in one of the sides :thinking: That's what it looks!

More pictures of the stage here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150140033329950.64952.207255669949&type=1 :D

Ainda estou a pensar participar apesar de não fazer ideia de como é que me vou vestir de animal/elefante :\ Suponho que eles no final do concerto vão logo para o aeroporto, porque eles têm concerto em Madrid 2 dias depois, e acho que é o que eles costumam fazer. Mas não faço a mínima ideia por onde é que eles vão sair :confused:

They have already started setting up the stage! :D Source:

1 week! :dance:

Muito mais simples mesmo! :D Também estou bastante tentada a participar, mas não faço ideia de como é que me visto de elefante ou de outro animal qualquer :confused: :laugh3: E depois há outro problema: eu devo ir para lá cedo, e se os fosse conhecer teria de deixar o meu lugar na fila e as pessoas com quem vou e depois era complicado arranjar um bom lugar e voltar a encontrá-los :confused: Mesmo assim, acho que vou pensar melhor nisto! :nod:

Até gosto dos covers que eles fazem em homenagem a alguém que morre. Mesmo assim, espero que este não dure tanto tempo como o da Amy Winehouse! Ela morreu em Julho, se não me engano, e acho que eles em Outubro ainda o continuavam a tocar :laugh3:
