been eagerly waiting to write my review on this last night, so here goes...
INCREDIBLE. I saw them at the o2 on the Viva tour and it was just as good there, and even though I was on the floor there and this time I was up high, it was still great, despite hardly anyone standing up around me until VLV. for me, I was very happy at the setlist. I was looking at the one's from Glasgow and Manchester and they didn't appeal to me, especially daylight and what if. me and my friend both agreed that we wanted UATW and christmas lights, and we got one of them :') here goes a review track-by-track;
MX/Hurts Like Heaven - Seeing those wristbands light up was the most incredible thing I've ever seen (my friend's one didn't work - felt so bad for hom :embarrassed: ) was the only song I sat down for as I didn't know whether to sit down/stand up as everyone was sitting down at that point :\
Yellow - Always gets the crowd pumped but yet again around us not many people standing up. Wasn't as good as I thought it would be.
Lost! - Love this song, especially Johnny's guitar solo, and lived up to what it was meant to be :smug:
Major Minus - Never has really fitted into the coldplay setlist really, so wasn't that fussed about it.
In My Place - One of the best songs of the night, boys really delivered it.
What If - God only knows why this is in the setlist, this really saw a lot of people text on their phones etc.
Violet Hill - Brilliant song, brilliant performance. Loved it.
GPASUYF - Loved this one too, really got me 'rocking' out.
The Scientist - Loved everyone singing along, was a really touching moment in the show. :')
Up In Flames - Just does not work live.
Don't Panic - Brilliant addition to the setlist, and although hardly anyone knew it, I did and was singing along all the way.
UATW - One of my favourite performances, touching song, beautifully delivered.
Politik - Again, wasn't as good as I imagined it would be from last time, but was still good.
VLV - Hearing everyone sing along gave me goosebumps. Incredible. This one finally got everyone up.
Charlie Brown - Second best performance of the night, everyone worked magically, I was dancing and singing and shouting and screaming and just WOW.
Paradise - Best performance of the night by far. This really was just :O :O the chorus was amazing.
Clocks - Mehh, never has been my favourite, was a good performance though.
Fix You - Definitely wasn't their best.
ETIAW - Stunning. This was a TRUE end to a concert, and was just excellent.
So all in all, an 8.5/10. Would've liked christmas lights and the setlist to have been longer, but everyone about this concert was immense.
