I love Christmas Lights, but when I hear this, I kind of wish they'd at least recorded a studio version of Wedding Bells (even just as a B-Side).

Just as a side note, if you pause the trailer at that moment around 1:11, and manage to get Chris bang in the middle, you have an awesome Facebook cover photo waiting for you! (doing it in 1080p is best) EDIT: Here's the photo in case you don't want to do it yourself :)

Jay Z, that was awesome and I love you. Btw, is it me or have the Xylobands not been used at all?

I missed the opening ceremony - Channel 4 didn't do ad breaks did they?

Hahaha, we'll take whatever we can get! Still, we get to go to mid-table Manchester United next to prove our title credentials :laugh3:

Obviously over the course of the season Southampton are not gonna be pushing teams away from home like they did today, but it's their first day back in the Premier League in years; they were fired up for the game today, and although City weren't at their best, they'll seldom face a team motivated like Southampton were today. They may struggle to retain the title if they don't strengthen the team, but they'll breeze past most teams nonetheless. (also, quick shout out to my team Fulham, who seemingly cannot be moved from the top of the table)

Fair point, although even in London we're a rare breed :laugh3:

Dunno if you're talking to me or not, but I was a fan before Dempsey came. We do have a lot of American fans though, not just for Clint, but also the thousands of other Americans who have played for us before.

You're a Fulham fan? I knew there was another one of us somewhere in the world!

That's awesome! Loved the bit where the little song symbols came up when the piano keys were hit! If you did do a video for the rest of the song, I'm sure we'd all love to see it :)

The cover they did of Clocks was awesome, I'd say it's on a par with the original. But from the trailer video, the cover of Viva doesn't seem as good... :\

I think it's gotta be a movie of some sort, purely because it mentions the "sounds" of Coldplay. That alone makes a comic book seem a little unlikely, which as a fan of movies, a fan of Spongebob ( :) ) and not a fan of comics, is great! :D

Fix You and Viva are usually quite high anyway, but to see The Scientist in there is great :) Maybe a load of part-time fans sent to The Emirates and then decided to actually download some Coldplay?

Had a quick look at the iTunes Top 200 Singles earlier, and from what I could see, Coldplay had more tracks in there than any other artist :) And for what it's worth, I've always had this down as the most likely song from MX to hit #1, in no small part because Rihanna's on it.

Hahahaha! I'm 18, but when it's nearing the end of a party, we're all drunk and I'm forcing my friends to put on Coldplay and sing with me, I imagine we sound a lot like that :laugh3:

At the O2 in December he did Rehab too, so there were definitely options. Still, he sneaked in a line from Rolling In The Deep during Clocks, perhaps as a cheeky reference to Adele being in the crowd :)

Just a quick side-note - my only disappointment was that Chris didn't sing anything in the intro to Fix You! Obviously he couldn't do Singing In The Rain tonight since it was clear skies, but he's got so many he's used before. Perhaps they needed a proper version for the film...

Just got back from the gig - I probably didn't enjoy it as much as the O2 in December, but I think part of the reason for that is because that was my first Coldplay gig ever. I prefer this new setlist by a long way, particularly Warning Sign; separates the men from the boys in terms of who's a proper fan and knows the words :cool: I was, unfortunately, surrounded by quite a few people who wouldn't sing at all, not even for the biggest hits (bar Fix You and Paradise) - surprising given that we weren't very far back (about level with the X-Stage). Still, me and my friend were in the mood and singing nonetheless, and it was great to see the people in the top tier of seating singing and dancing as much, if not more, than the people standing. It's a great testimony to the quality of the live performance and the dedication of the fans (Chris made a point of saying we're better than Lady Gaga's fans :lol: ) that everyone in the place was feeling electric. The obvious talking point was Simon Pegg coming on during Speed Of Sound. Couldn't stop laughing when it happened, if I'd had seen his tweet before the concert then I probably would've guessed, but it was great surprise nonetheless. All in all, it was a great night, and the Xyloband and the fireworks in particular were spectacular, helping to further give weight to the argument that the boys are the best live act around :)

Ahhhhh, that sucks, thanks for letting me know though :)

Does anyone know if the Xyloband I got at the O2 in December will still work tonight?

"14.08: The room we're based in today has Quite A Good View..." Is it reading too much into it to question why the last 4 words are capitalised?

Thinking about it, I can imagine it'd make it something quite special. Fix You in the rain would be pretty amazing :)

Just looking ahead at the weather forecast, and it's looking like it might rain (although obviously it's a few days away so this may change). I've not been to a concert in the rain before, but I saw the pictures of the gigs a couple of weeks ago (I think Spain and Portugal) where everybody was wearing a plastic raincoat, so is this something that they gave out for free, and if so will they do it again here?

Given that they've already announced they're making the DVD I'm leaning towards that not being the big surprise, especially as Chris said he had to keep tight-lipped about it. Let's pray for that EP! :D

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who loves the live version! I've never liked the studio version at all, but I think the fact that the LRLRL version is much slower and with just the piano means that it actually makes sense as a song. Not to mention the inclusion of Postcards, which in itself is already a beautiful little piece.
