MY REVIEW!! (to make a long story long?)
Hello, here is my review (of the entire day!). It might be a bit weird or crazy, but you don't have to read it if you don't want to :p
First one the tuedays I sat outside the Royal Albert Hall from about 5pm-8:30pm trying to get a ticket for the show, but all I got was a picture with F1 championship leader Nice Rosberg :)
WEDNEDSDAY - July 2nd 2014
So, as planned, i left the hotel for the 10:30am meet-up at the Royal Albert statue, but when i got to the station, IT HAD NO SERVICE THAT DAY!!! Had to walk to the next station and then take the tube from there, so i arrived 2 minutes late because of this, but still couldn't find anyone :o i started walking around the statue, and eventually i saw a familiar face, Sparky/Marc :)
We waited for a few others, but only 2 of them showed up, grids/Afi and wisna/Zuzana. After standing there for a while we took off around Hyde Park where we ended up at a little café next to the pond. After a while Mayurshikotra showed up aswell. :)
We went to the bakery where we met Batman and a couple others, also passed Chris' house, which was empty, though his car was on the driveway. And as we were heading back from the Bakery someone tried to deliver mail to his house :o
On the tube back to RAH with Mr. Coldplaying II, aka. Sparky, aka. Marc
Back at the Royal Albert Hall i went to meet up with the guy who I'd promised to buy my spare ticket, at the price I payed for it (no touting!).
Well inside we made our way to our seats and waited for the show to begin. Aluna George was alright, but nothing I'd put in my music library....
The intro tune "An Ending" (by Brian Eno) sounded just weird... :p
THEN that O so special intro started and everyone went crazy. Coldplay entered, Shiver(s) started running through my body and the began!!
Always In My Head - More beautiful than I've ever heard it before. And that moment was soo special for me, I had to really think about what I was doing to keep the tears from running :bigcry:
Charlie Brown - My favorite, so dancing a singing was a definite!! It was as amazing as on the Mylo tour, but still, it's Charlie Brown, it's Coldplay live, no possible way that cannot be great :laugh3:
Paradise - Crowd was extremely loud on the oooh oooh bit, and the whole place just lit up
Magic - Not a big fan of that, but the roof projections were cool, so i mostly looked at them through this song :p
Clocks - I LOVE IT!! It's so powerful, everything is just red! And the lasers, just amazing all the way through! :dance:
The Scientis - I was NOT expecting that! Got the shills and just enjoyed the whole song. Sang it as loudly as I could, and everyone around me just seemed to love the shit out of that performance...
God Put A Smile Upon Your Face - Alot like the 2012 version, with alot of clapping and shouting in my section. Also very powerful, and ending with the guitar landing on the floor. I love Will's enthusiasm in this song, he's just smashing away :drums: :smash
Til Kingdom Come - didn't fit the setlist, and not among my favorite. Just before it started I decided to try to film the next song, and it happened to be this, so i did the whole one.

Don't Panic - I was absolutely amazed when this song started, and the fact that Jonny got to sing 3(!) times made it even better! I l:heart:ved the whole thing!

Everything's Not Lost - OMG is this for real? They're actually playing EVERYTHING'S NOT LOST?!? I almost fainted, cause this is one song I've always wanted to hear live!!! :rolleyes4: but then...
Ink - !!!!!!!! ALL I KNOW, IS THAT I LOVE YOU SO, SO MUCH THAT IT HURTS!!! :dance: :bliss: now this show cannot possibly get any better, right? :thinking:
True Love - kind of expected, and it was really good live. Cool with the color explosions in the roof aswell. Towards the end of it I saw a familiar bell getting rolled out the the actuall RAH stage. hmm...
Viva La Vida - Chris is amazing, running around the audience, letting people touch him and getting great photos. Really enjoyed seeing all the happy faces on the people around that area :)
Midnight - ooh.. they had to do it... The laser-harp was pretty cool to see in action though :)
Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall - Everyone started dancing, and this song always goes down well on a live set! :dance:
intermission... waiting...
Oceans - I really like this song, and this time was no exception. I just floated away with the lyrics and it felt like I ended up in heaven, but I was wrong, cause the whole hall was about to EXPLODE in jumping and dancing!!!
A Sky Full Of Stars - I'm surprised the place didn't collapse with all that jumping, it was like a mad party and EVERYONE was really enjoying themselves by the looks of it. Then the confettin started flying and my section was filled with it :wacky:
Fix You - The last song of the night, and again the tears wanted to come, but I wouldn't let them. I tried to enjoy this as much as possible and just took in as much of this amazing atmosphere as possible before it was over. Tears stream down your face, I promised you I would learn from my mistakes! Tears stream down your face and AAAA AAA AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!! Lights will guuuuuiiiiiide you home and igniiiiiiiite your bones. And I will tryyyyy to fix you...... and it's done... here come the tears (only a few of them, but still, never happened to me before)
Overall it was and amazing show, and I loved every bit of it! THANK YOU COLDPLAY!!!
After the show a few of us met up again, and the rest is history. Thanks to everyone involved. I cannot wait to see you guys again, I had a really great time all day long. And if you ever come to Sweden, tell me, and I'll try to come to wherever you're going :)
