So jealous of everyone who's gonna be there, it looks really awesome from the pictures! And again, TWO xylobands...! Have fun if you're gonna be there! Still no livestream I guess?

I'm guessing they're filming in Paris too?

I found a video of Chris' speech before they played Paradise the second time, so I thought I'd share (since the livestream host blocked it out with their rambling and many people complained about that...) Copying it by ear: "Now, if it's okay with you guys, we have to do something strange because there is a TV show in America called Stand Up To Cancer, which is a big cancer benefit which is happening next week, and they asked us if we would play on it. We said, 'we'd love to', we said, 'please can we record it from Sweden?' And... *crowd goes wild* because not only is (are) the crowds in Sweden very loud, they're also extremely attractive... and look very good on TV. So... *laughs**crowd cheers louder* So they said, 'of course you can! Please, have as many Swedish people as you can in our TV broadcast'. So what we're gonna do now is that I have to say something, like, TV thing, and we're gonna play Paradise again. And I know some of you will be like, 'fuck, I don't wanna hear that song again', but the rest of you will go crazy because it sounds even better the second time." I'm not sure if that was the end of it, because the video cut there, but that was basically it except for his TV lines. Edit: I found a video with the whole thing, and it continues like this: "So in about 10 seconds I'm gonna say this piece of thing here for TV, and then if you don't mind just going crazy we will all sing together and it will go across America and across the world and everyone will feel great. Okay? Thank you. Shite, I put my lines down (I think he says). *Reads the script**Crowd laughs and cheers* "Okay, yeah, make some noise, that's a good idea. We're being broadcast around the world right now as a part of a plo-program called- fuck this fuck fuck, we'll start again. We're being broadcast around the world right now as a part of Stand Up To Cancer, so we ask you to stand up and think of anyone in your life who's been affected by this terrible disease, and we send this song out to them. It's called Paradise. From Sweden. Thank you so much, let's go!"

It was such an amazing concert! Was in the queue for almost 10 hours - got great view because of it. I was standing on the right side of the "middle stage", which Chris + the others ran out on a LOT. He was like 2 meters away from me so many times! The whole concert was great, I'm still in shock/speechless about it. Everything from the way it opened with the lighting in Hurts Like Heaven and the amazing crowd, to the 2 Paradises and the final with ETIAW. All the effects (lightning, objects, confetti, etc) were so stunning! Chris seemed to be having so much fun, it was crazy! (Did I just imagine it or has he actually said that he really likes Stockholm and Sweden?) He opened Speed of Sound by singing Born This Way which was really funny cause the crowd (including myself) actually started singing along! :laugh3: They played Paradise, and right after they announced that they were doing it again. First I thought they were just kidding, but then Chris started telling us about Stand Up To Cancer and that it was an american charity thing that wanted them to film for it. (I can't remember exactly what Chris said, but it was along the lines of): "Stand Up To Cancer asked us to shoot a performance, and we asked, 'can't we do it in Sweden? We'd love to do it there, the crowd is so amazing.' And they said, 'sure, bring as many Swedes as you like'. So I have a few lines I have to say, a few TV lines for this thing." He held a script, put it aside and started talking, but forgot what he was gonna say so he swore a lot (fucking fuck) xD. But then he said like "we're here in Sweden recording" yada yada. And then they jumped into Paradise a second time. (I saw that people were wondering about them playing it twice, but I think that they meant it to be that way? See, the first time they didn't tell us anything, nor have the "SU2C" sign, nor did Chris read a script for it.) Wow, this turned really long, I should stop. Overall, the best night of my life! Can't wait to see them again!

TOMORROW!! I'm so excited, been waiting for this for ages! I've never seen them play though, how long before should I be there? I was thinking of coming there around 9-10 am, but should I go there earlier if I want a better spot? Also, do you know how roughly how many people will be there? The more the merrier :D
