Random Coldplay thoughts...
Had this amazing vision the other day. Imagine it's the very last show of the tour in Argentina, Up&Up just finished and the band takes their final bows. But then, Chris heads back to his piano and the rest of the band take their spots. The crowd quiets down, and suddenly they play this: And there's a huge fireworks show when the song picks up. I think it would be an awesome and emotional way to end the era, especially with Chris singing "In the end there's only us, oh my friend there's only love". It kind of "completes the circle" and sums up the whole journey of the band from Parachutes to now. Just a crazy vision I had, but it gives me goosebumps thinking about it.

Looks like Coldplay are trying out new "zoned" Xylobands for this show, everybody got a wristband taped to their seat instead of receiving it at the gate. for reference:

Toronto Confetti 2012
Hi everyone, I know this is a VERY long shot but do any Canadian Coldplay fans happen to have any confetti from the July 24, 2012 show in Toronto? I have a confetti collection from every show I've been to, but this is the one show that I'm missing confetti from. If you'd be so kind to send me even just a few pieces I'd be happy to pay postage or trade you for some AHFOD confetti. Thank you!

My intro video experience (Toronto)
Oh awesome! Yeah Ben helped us out a bit with the puns and gave a couple examples, they're pretty simple.

I don't know if Coldplay got the tower to do that, or if it was just perfect timing. The CN Tower usually does a big light show at 9pm

[2017-08-22] Rogers Centre, Toronto, ON (Second show)
Thoughts on this show: Went for both support act sets this time. Although the audience wasn't really into it I LOVED AlunaGeorge and I've been playing their albums on repeat since then. So glad the dome opened! Usually Rogers Centre has terrible acoustics but that made it much better. My seat was right by the b-stage but so many people left their seats and crowded around there I lost my spot at the barricade. Was too crowded around me and I barely had any room to jump around like I did in the first show. Didn't mention this in my post about the first show but I loved the use of fireworks - these were my first stadium Coldplay shows (only arenas before) and the fireworks made for a much better effect. Was kind of hoping for Birds over GPASUYF at this show so they could switch it up, I found that Chris seemed a bit more tired during this night's version of GPASUYF and it was much better performed at the first show. Fix You was outstanding, just looking at all the Xylobands during the start and getting that sense of unity made me feel amazing. And love that run Chris does from the b-stage into the fireworks! AMAZING DAY. What a surprise! My favourite part of the show. I saw Jonny waiting on the b-stage with his guitar during Green Eyes and didn't know what was going on, and when he started playing those first notes I was taken away. The perfect song to sum up two amazing nights. I lost it during the second verse of Up&Up, was just overwhelmed with happy emotions and I was bawling. Just felt so blessed and grateful. A lot of my videos came out blurry sadly, I guess it was since I was focusing more on the actual show and not how it looked on my camera lens. So I guess that's a good thing and a bad thing. Tried to get a setlist after the show but security kicked me out much quicker so they could clean up. I get that they need people to leave but they were quite rude about it. Overall: both shows were great for different reasons. I think I liked the first show better in terms of the overall experience, but still glad I got to experience both shows. Pics later!

Wow I'm really late to this, but I finally found time to post my thoughts on this show. I was so honoured to do the intro video for this show, which I wrote about in detail here: https://www.coldplaying.com/forum/index.php?threads/my-intro-video-experience-toronto.110310/ I really enjoyed Izzy Bizu but was disappointed at how few people were in the audience for her set, made it a bit awkward. The mellow live versions of her songs were quite different to what I heard on her debut album, but I liked it. Sadly had to miss AlunaGeorge this time, I found out my portable charger was not working and I had to wait in line for ages at the stadium phone charging station. Heard a bit of the set from there and it sounded fun! So glad the dome was open! Made for much better acoustics and the fact the CN Tower was watching over us felt amazing. During the opera intro when the tower lit up in rainbow colours, that was probably the most euphoric moment of my life. Just perfection. AHFOD never ceases to impress me. Probably my favourite song of the show and I think my favourite song to see them play live. GPASUYF was great! Was my first time hearing it on this tour and the way the crowd got involved was incredible! Yay for new butterfly confetti! SEVEN songs with confetti is a bit much, but it makes the show unforgettable. I'm sorry Chris but Fix You is NOT a song to restart - even if it's as a joke. The way HFTW usually transitions into it makes it so emotional but that almost ruined the impact. Love how the lyrics to Kaleidoscope are put up on the screen now, makes for a better effect so the audience gets the meaning. I thought I was gonna be disappointed if they played In My Place and Don't Panic, since they play those all the time, but I loved it. Didn't know that Will gets to sing the whole song so that was a great surprise. The improvisation song was amazing, my parents said it was their favourite part. I was just so lost in the moment during SJLT and ASFOS, I span around in the aisles while the confetti rained down and I was just in bliss. Didn't get a setlist at this show sadly, but met some amazing roadies (Chris K and someone else) who chatted with me after the show. The kindest people ever. But the best part of this experience: all the amazing people I met! To those that I met at the tour buses, at the charging station, at my section and by the stage after the show, you are what made this show unforgettable. I've never felt so connected with so many people at a show and I'd do anything to experience that again. Pics coming later!
