I had to login from work!!! So excited!! Washington is in there! Hope it is seattle!

welcome to the forum sam :)

have fun :) wish i was joining you! btw, was speaking to a friend who went to ACL last weekend and saw radiohead. do they repeat the same artists over two weeks? what am i missing?

That's great news! It has been on the cards forever! Sounds like coldplay might want to make it around the current tour. Sounds about right with them wanting to tour AHFOD for 2 years. I would love more of a band life spanning, in depth documentary that Matt seems to want to make. But I'll take what I can get :) What I really wish we had was making of documentaries for a rush of blood or viva! Too late for that now.

That heart is part of the stage getup. Drawn on every time :)

welcome to the forum! :)

welcome to the forum :) but they were just a support (opening) act there. not the main headliner as promoted this time. i hope they'll get one hour. like the final performer usually gets. then again, i wonder how long jay z will play for. but he doesn't seem to have a lot of hype so far.

I still have no idea who they are. Have to listen to those songs you guys mentioned. But going by their posts, they seem very excited!

i think it's one of those things chris doesn't want to talk about much. he dodges the question whenever someone asks about it.

The next song was Yellow and I was surprised at how many people were singing along with it. Maybe a band's first hit song never becomes unpopular. The xylobands shone and there was an abundance of yellow-green lights and lasers. Chris welcomed the crowd after the song, saying, “Good evening, everybody. Welcome. This is the last show of our tour this year, and it’s gonna be the best one. And we’re so happy to be here at Levi’s Stadium in San Francisco in California, USA!” Then Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall sounded, along with an array of blue, purple, and magenta lights. People were also really into this song, and I was surprised at how well live it sounded. After this song, it was The Scientist. I never really got into this song, but I loved the “oooh” part with the audience at the end. Then the Oceans excerpt began and I knew it was time for Birds, one of my favorites from the tour. As expected, not many people sang along since the lyrics go by too fast but I knew the song pretty well, so I enjoyed singing it. I also was impressed at how great and strong Chris’s voice sounded. In fact there was no point during the show that made me think his voice was suffering. The next song, Paradise, is another one I really enjoy. The crowd shone purple, magenta, blue, and green. When the song ended I stopped recording because I knew this was going to be the time for a dance-off! The Paradise Remix was a major rocking-out session with me jumping up and down nonstop to the rhythm of the song along with thousands of people around me! That was one of the highlights of the show for me. When this finished, Coldplay made their way to the B-stage in the dark and began playing Always in My Head, also a really great song from the Ghost Stories album. The visuals were really great for this song, as you can see below. [spoiler=Always in My Head] This was also the case for Magic, the next song. Magic sounded very great live, maybe even better than the album version. After this, the Army of One intro started, and I knew the next song would Clocks, my second favorite Coldplay song! I could tell a lot of people were really enjoying this song as much as I was, and this was the only song on the A-stage that I recorded in full. Immediately after this, the Midnight intro kicked in. The visuals and the lasers were spectacular! Then came Charlie Brown. Personally I wasn’t entirely into this song, but I still did the “Jump! Give me that clap! Give me that noise!” because when Chris Martin says it, you do it ;). I’ve always liked the calm ending to that song, though. During the ending, birds started chirping, so it was time for Hymn for the Weekend. The visuals were also really good, and I enjoyed this song live more than I would have thought : ). It was amazing, actually. The song was a great opportunity for the people to sing since it is popular, and the colorful confetti were extremely numerous! I saw that some people were getting confetti out of their girlfriends’ hair LOL. There was a lot of dancing to this song, too. At the end of the song, the stadium was dark and Fix You started. I found it a little funny to see Chris lying on the ground when he started singing :D. As one would expect, almost everyone was really into this song, and I thoroughly enjoyed, too. There was a singalong at the end, which is a perfect way to end a song. The next song was a David Bowie cover called Life on Mars? sung with the Oakland School for the Arts Choir. Some people knew this song and were singing along with it! Jonny’s guitar solos were perfect. At the end of the song Chris said “We did that just for San Francisco!” Next, we heard Chris say, “Drop it, Will!” And Viva la Vida began. This also sounded amazing live with the audience. I didn’t really know what song to expect next, so Adventure of a Lifetime took me by surprise. There were the monkey visuals and balloons falling. I wanted an opportunity to touch one of the balloons at least, but alas, none of them came my way. At one point in the song Chris asked everybody to “Get down, get low, stay low.” There was no room to crouch down so we basically sat down for a few seconds lol. This song was just a massive party, and I enjoyed it. After this song, a group of young guys came to our section and met their friends in one of the rows behind me and told them that Coldplay were going to be at the C-stage next. I was wondering whether I should follow them there or if I’d be in trouble. I decided to go and ended up really close to the C-stage! As I was waiting there, Kaleidoscope was playing and the crowd was glowing with a single color that was changing. When Obama was singing, we, the Americans that we are, started cheering for him and singing Amazing Grace along with him : ). The band members made their way up to the C-stage and I got to see them up close, from about 10ft away! :dazzled: I was really nervous around them lol and I didn’t want to make eye contact with them because they are fRICKIN rEAL hUMAN bEINGS! Now, without further ado, you can watch the following videos of the three songs they played on the C-stage—In My Place, Don’t Panic, and Til Kingdom Come (the request)—instead of me explaining how awesome it all was, because the videos speak for themselves! [spoiler=In My Place] (I apologize for the bright light coming from behind Jonny's microphone.) [spoiler=Band Intro & Don't Panic]Here's the funny band intro and Don't Panic. [spoiler=Til Kingdom Come] Chris did an extended outro for Til Kingdom Come, which I didn’t record. It was all very unreal, to say the least. When Amazing Day started, I didn’t go back to my seat, but since I wasn’t going to sit down anyway, I decided to hang out in the back of another section so I could get a clearer view of the runway. Once again the visuals were amazing, as in the next song A Sky Full of Stars and also Up&Up. During one of these songs (I think Amazing Day) I saw a yellow balloon close to me! I thought that this was the perfect opportunity for me to grab it. When I was going for the ball, I noticed that some lady was actually holding it and she immediately snatched it away from me. She gave me this really nasty look [spoiler=Ugly Face] and wagged a finger, then pointed at herself and mouthed “Mine... Mine.” I tried to explain to her that I just wanted to touch the ball, but it was pointless. I realized that I had awakened the materialistic beast inside of her :o. Despite the little nightmare I had just gone through, I decided to enjoy the rest of the show. ASFoS was really exciting – pretty much everyone was dancing during the song, me especially. When it was Up&Up’s turn, I felt a little sad that it was going to be over, but nevertheless I loved to see the LOVE flag placed on the stage. I thought this was a really brilliant idea. Next, before I knew it, the show was over! As everyone was leaving, I overheard people conversing about their favorite parts of the show. It was very nice to hear that. Then I left the stadium and tried to meet up with Coldplaying member @gai, but unfortunately it didn’t work out for us, so I began walking to my car. It was the middle of the night. It seemed to take forever to get to my car, maybe I was tired or something. At one point I panicked really hard because I came to a place that I wasn’t familiar with and I couldn’t find my car. I thought maybe someone stole it or something. I checked my phone map to see what happened. As it turned out, I had walked 10 minutes past my car OMG. So I backtracked 10 minutes and, lo and behold, there it was, waiting for me! So I began my drive home. What an experience this whole thing was! I recommend everyone to see Coldplay live at least once in their lifetime. It’s basically an awesome lovefest party that comes around very rarely. If you want to see all my videos from the show, be sure to ! Thanks for reading! great review! that crowd was one of the best i've been in! they stood up when the opera song started!

Actually a lot of media and people in India were making quite a circus out of some tabloid said ticket prices. Smh.. probably why they made this small announcement on a Friday before the planned official announcement next monday.

so close! i was on the 22nd row, at the edge of 116 :)

i was at 115 :) were you there too?

After the concert last night, I was sight seeing today and saw one girl and one guy wearing their love buttons! Now at the airport saw another girl wearing it! Too bad I forgot to remove mine from the t shirt last night. But how great it is to see people wearing outside of the concert? It was quite amazing seeing so many people wear it during the concert too.

Oh sorry I left right after finishing the show to meet a friend who was in 119. Now on the way to bag check. Out side if the stadium. Where are you?

Sure let's try. I'll check here when the concert ends.

Thanks sue. Sorry I'm not going to stream anything. Going to just enjoy the show :)

I'm on 115. Pretty good view! Floor is fantastic! Bishop Briggs was amazing! Alessa Cara on now. She is ok so far.

I'm here. Couldn't hear the sound check because there was too many noises outside. Are you in? Signed the oxfam petition.

Happy birthday!

Just landed in San Francisco. Looks like it'll be a beautiful day!

No I wasn't going to do a request video unless I could do something special. Don't have time for that now :)

Not going to lie, it was hard at first. Being busy helped :) I don't know the set list by heart or specifically how things are arranged in the live show. So really excited to see from more fresh eyes. Let's hope coldplay will pull out a rare song or two. It is the final US show afterall ;) Btw did you request a song already? Wondering if it's even worth the trouble.
