On tour wth Coldplay ‏@oxfamontour Welcome to the united centre, Chicago

Can't say I'm not disappointed with the choice of questions again...especially the one about Chris' kids? Why that one?

August 7, 2012 - submitted by Maximilian, United States of America Q. Q. Dear Oracle I was recently at Coldplay's amazing performance at the Izod Center, NJ. Before they came on Gwyneth Paltrow and her two kids sat not too far away from me. During the show the two kids were escorted to the stage and it looked like they left something on Chris's piano. Why did they do this? The Oracle replies: Chris has a couple of times during the show where he gets his ginger, lemon & hot water concoction replenished. His children like to get daddy's drink when they're there. August 7, 2012 - submitted by Camila, Colombia Q. Oracle! I am really confused! I was going through some pictures in a Coldplay fansite and I came across this. Is it real? It would be really great! The Oracle replies: It's not real - "coming soon" is misspelt. There is a film of the tour in the pipeline but that poster has been created by a fan and is in no way official. We have no artwork to show you at this stage. August 7, 2012 - submitted by J Lucas, France Q. The hubby wants The Scientist for our wedding song, and I love it but I think of it as a break up song vs. a wedding one. Help!!! I say we should have Yellow which just feels like sweet love. Right now we are saying both are our wedding song. The Oracle replies: In my opinion you don't want The Scientist as it is indeed a song about a break-up. Yellow does have a love connotation but maybe you need to find another song that you BOTH agree on? 'Til Kingdom Come is a lovely wedding song but there are many so choose wisely.

August 6, 2012 - submitted by Jameson, United States of America Q. Oracle, Recently on Coldplay's wiki page, I found a list of unreleased songs from their various albums. Most of the Viva ones are available to listen as short demos on YouTube, but I couldn't help but notice a few that were unreleased from MX. My question is, are the boys planning on releasing snippets of those demo MX tunes the same way they did the Viva ones? Even their demos are (and most would agree) incredible music and it would be a shame if they were left on the shelf in The Bakery or The Beehive collecting dust. The Oracle replies: Hmm, I have to set this straight: "are the boys planning on releasing snippets of those demo MX tunes the same way they did the Viva ones?" No and the band did not release any Viva demos. They are not supposed to be on YouTube and they aren't meant to be out there at all. These things happen of course and I totally understand that fans want to hear everything but anything the band want people to hear is what is released and available - otherwise it's an illegal bootleg. August 6, 2012 - submitted by Nick, United States of America Q. Hey Oracle, saw Coldplay kill it last night in Jersey. There was a blonde roadie that seemed to be assisting Chris' wife & kids in the audience as well as managing the people who went backstage. I've never seen her before in the roadie-related discussions. Who is she / what does she do? The Oracle replies: That sounds like it must be one of the band's assistants (we don't call those lovely ladies roadies); EJ or Jessie. At a guess it was probably Jessie. August 6, 2012 - submitted by Betty, United Kingdom Q. How do I ask team oracle a question? I am really confused and would like to ask them about something.. Thanks. The Oracle replies: Just send in your question to me; I decide what to choose. "Them" is whoever decides to reply each week but you just send in a question as normal. There's no guarantee I'll choose your question but if you mention that you'd like it to be one for the Team Oracle section, I will certainly consider it.

She has one up :D Source: http://coldplayingparadise.tumblr.com/post/28854731677/coldplayingparadise-tumblr-com "I present you a shirtless Chris Martin on stage at the IZOD Center" Edit: oh, paddles!

Ah finally a review+selected pics for Saturday from the internetz! (Okay, I agree, it's not much of an actual review) From: http://2indie4indie.tumblr.com/ Concert Review: Coldplay @ Izod Center (Saturday) In review, this is the best concert I’ve been to since 2008. Coldplay sounds better live. I didn’t think that was possible! Make sure you catch them on their next tour! Coldplay
