Beautiful pics!

Air Canada Centre, Toronto - July 23, 2012 By Jane Stevenson, QMI Agency TORONTO - Colour me impressed. British pop-rockers Coldplay touched down for the first show of two night stand at the Air Canada Centre on Monday night and treated a sold-out crowd to an intense yet artful music extravangaza. The wow factor included twinkling, glow-in-the-dark multi-coloured wristbands worn by audience members, multi-coloured confetti - that blasted out several times during the second song and set highlight, In My Place, and multi-coloured balloons that dropped down during the fourth song, Lovers In Japan. It was like one gigantic street art project with a lot of financial backing emphasized by Coldplay’s own enormous stage decorated by glow-in-the-dark, multi-coloured neon graffiti and a long catwalk that looked like a landing strip with a red ‘X’ at the end - a location where the group ventured early and often. After treating hundreds of contest winners to an hour-long live televised show in the MuchMusic parking lot last September in the lead up to the October release of their fifth studio album, Mylo Xyloto - the weakest album in their discography in my opinion - Coldplay returned with their A game in a live setting. Singer-pianist Chris Martin, a charming, lively Mexican jumping bean as usual on stage, made a bold pronouncement at the beginning of the show: “The four of us have decided to make this the best concert of our lives.” And while it didn’t quite hit that mark it certainly had its moments. Among the standouts, the crowd singing along to The Scientist - “We’ve got the best fans in the world and everybody knows it,” said Martin and the dedication of Yellow, which started soft before it went into high gear with guitarist’s Jonny Buckland’s well known hook, to the victims of the movie screening massacre last week. “This song goes out to everybody in Colorado,” said Martin. Also good was the muscular drumming of Will Champion during God Put a Smile Upon Your Face, with Martin, Buckland and bassist Guy Berryman all standing in line in front of his kit in a sign of respect, and Viva La Vida. Another crowd pleaser was when the group emerged on a small stage in the back left corner of the audience to sing Us Against the World and Speed Of Sound, with Martin screwing up the beginning of the latter song and starting over again. “Oh sorry, I f---ed that up. I was looking at someone. Please don’t put us on YouTube,” Martin joked. When the foursome returned to the main stage for two more highlights - the piano-driven Clocks and Fix You - with Martin performing some Olympics worthy jumps on the catwalk as the latter song geared up in its second half - the only thing left to perform was Mylo Xyloto’s first single, Every Teardrop is a Waterfall, which closed the show after a fast-paced hour and 45 minutes. Opening were two of the UK’s more promising female newcomers. First up was Scottish-raised, British based singer-songwriter Emeli Sande whose powerful voice was on full display as she sang material from her debut, Our Version of Events. Sande was followed by the kookier if still talented Marina and the Diamonds from Wales, with the singer’s outfit of silver tinsel top, pink furry shoes, and a sash that read Miss Shellfish Beach, helping to represent her off the wall pop sound, along with her little stuffed animal - a pink dog named Marilyn.

Coldplay's illuminating 'Mylo Xylotour' in Toronto COLDPLAYJULY 24, 2012BY: TOM PAND With a glowing graffiti inspired stage design, LED wristbands for the whole crowd and tons of neon confetti, Coldplay truly lit up Toronto's Air Canada Centre last night with their first of two shows in the city. The Mylo Xyloto tour is named for the bands fifth studio release - a concept album about love in a fictional dystopian world. In addition to the album and tour, the concept has also inspired a comic book series that made its official debut at Comic-com in San Diego earlier this month. The Grammy award winning British rockers, led by Chris Martin, gained worldwide attention back in 2000 with the release of what is now one of their best known singles "yellow" from debut album "Parachutes". Since then, Coldplay have sold over 50 million records maintaining not only their relevance in the charts but also the hearts of the enthusiastic fans who fill the venues each night and get to be a part of the show. Support acts for Coldplay included Marina and the Diamonds whose second album "Electra Heart" debuted atop the UK charts last April and Scottish R&B singer Emeli Sandé who also earned top spot with her debut album "Our Version of Events". *Firefox recommended for viewing slideshow* http://www.examiner.com/article/coldplay-s-illuminating-mylo-xylotour-toronto

Matthew Cohn ‏@Matthew_Cohn Coldplay was like Circ du Soleil meets raw talent

Yeah, I have a feeling they have footage from different shows to choose from.

All the xylobands on this current MX Tour have the inscription Coldplayfilm on them. As far as I know, only a couple of stadium shows in London had confirmation that they were being filmed. As for the rest of the shows, nothing has been mentioned.

I chuckled at that one as I read it :lol:
