Wow.. good question. The Albert Hall is one I won't forget.. but it was for the Proms, so not the kind of music maybe you were talking about. :laugh3: I think as far as venues go, they are only as good as the band playing there. (also it depends on how close you are.. etc etc) Everywhere I have seen Coldplay was awesome. :D But being close up in that small church in Hackney watching Chris and Jonny only feet away has to be up there. Wembley arena I hate. It's too big.. too stuffy, and if you are even a few feet away from the stage (I'm not tall) you can't see a thing. I don't think the sound is too great either, but maybe I saw the wrong bands at the wrong time (mid summer in a heatwave?). I think the Hammersmith Apollo (used to be Hammersmith Odeon) is about the best place in London to see a big band (or a small one) It's not too big, the seating/standing is sloped, so you don't get stuck behind 7ft tall people and in some cases with some bands the balcony 'bounces'! :laugh3: (although I have heard they have fixed that now sadly LOL) and you are never too far away. Big open air arenas are fine provided the bands are big enough to fill them. I saw The Stones at Crystal Palace a few years ago. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to just behind the celebs. That was an awesome gig. There are a lot of small clubs and pubs in London where you can see bands. I don't actually live in London, so I haven't seen a lot.. but I do have memories of the Quire Boys just before they hit the big time at the Astoria, which is fairly small and was about as loud as I think I need to ever hear music. :rolleyes: The Amps took up an entire wall next to my head... we were close to the front, and they had a 'Real' bar on stage, complete with pumps and barman, serving them haha.. :laugh3: that was a fun gig. :lol: In all I think the 'atmosphere' is the main thing at a gig. Every CP gig I have ever been to the anticipation in the air is almost palpable, you could cut it with a knife. So exciting, and probably the only real times I have truly lost myself in the music at gigs. This is despite rain in London.. I don't even remember getting wet until the gig was over.. ;) I hope this was the kind of thing you had in mind Christa?

Good if you keep it, he can't ride it again! :laugh3:

Same here.. awesome city. Welcome to Coldplaying. :D

Wow.. I love the fact that people are just calmly walking through the middle of that! LOL.. and all the honking! However I've seen things almost as bad in London and we supposedly have rules! :rolleyes:

J-Day perfect. Happy Birthday Jonny..

LOL ! Stop it.. I'm trying to resist! :laugh3:

Dammit... :\

Oh grow up! Oh wait you can't yet... :smug: :P May I draw your attention to bands like 'The Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin'? OK forget it, you are too young.. :P LOL! Which is which? I actually don't care what they wear, provided they continue to make music. :heart:

Me too :P

^^ good kids! LOL

I heard it on UK radio, prime time tonight! :D

:surprised: Oh my goodness... that bus!!

Of course I don't mind! I'm happy you like it. The idea is that anyone who wants to use it may do so. :D

:lol: :nod: :nod::lol:

^ LOL

No kidding haha...:laugh3:

Can't they do both? :D

There is no proof one way or another that they are actually living out there permanently.. Remember these photos from last year? Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin take their children Moses and Apple to school in Los Angeles. October 26th, 2012 They seem to go to school in England AND the USA. Of course they may have, but there is hope.

It's FINALLY officially on my ipod! :D

Thank you Celine. If you click on it.. it shows you the full res version ;)

Good grief if Chris wore that outfit ....

Hello and welcome to another Brit. Always in favour of a cuppa. :D

Sigh.. Yes keep your eyes OPEN! and make sure you are always armed with a camera! LOL.. Oh very nice.. I have seen it.. but still who cares.. I can look again..:stunned: LOL!

Well, personally I hope they do. I hope they NEVER feel that they are too old to be themselves and dress how they want. They're in a rock band for heavens sake! :cool: And for the record 36 is NOT old... :D

Welcome back Claire! You have been missed for sure. WONDERFUL photo.. and yes Atlas is amazing. Cannot wait for LP6 now.. :D
