I've done it today and I'm HAPPY! I've been to the concert in Munich, 2005. It was unforgettable. Now the time has come for the second one and I'm sure it'll be even better :) ( my boyfriend will be patient and wait in front of SAP arena for hours, in Munich I had a terrible sight because we were late)
Hey Becky, you're from Franconia, too? Which town are you from? Greetings from Bamberg/well...the next bigger city is Nuremberg...
Do you know who the support acts are? and when can we get into the arena?
*Becky*
31-05-2008, 05:30 PM
hy, Morning Glory!
I´m living near Würzburg (in a really small village, only 800 people:\)
I dont know who the support act will be, but I read something about a band (Chris´ brother is the drummer) on this forum...
and I have no clue, when to get in the arena (luckily I've ordered tickets for seats)

I'm already pretty excited :-)
Anyone else from the Saarland going?
hey there,
anyone here who comes to SAP-Arena tomorrow? If so maybe we could say hello or wave to each other, because I'm going to be there.
would be fun to meet one of the members here and share the excitement....
so long
;)

Hö? Hängt die vorher schon irgendwie aus? :stunned: Oder meinst du danach? :)
Ich bin mir sicher, dass die morgen in Mannheim ziemlich genau die gleichen Songs spielen werden, wie heute in Straßburg. Wenn du also überrascht werden willst, würde ich den anderen Thread ab jetzt meiden. ;) :laugh3:
ich hab nen sitzplatz oben rechts von der bühne. ich glaub erster rang... am liebsten wär ich schon zum soundcheck da, weiss aber nicht wann der ist. :(
ich denk aber so um die mittagszeit müsste der sein...?
*Sarah*
01-09-2008, 07:11 PM
joa, soundcheck könnte irgendwann zwischen 12 und 4 sein *g* keine ahnung...
Larry
01-09-2008, 07:16 PM
Glaub heute war der Soundcheck irgendwann gegen 15:00 Uhr, aber ich würd meine Hand dafür nicht ins Feuer legen. :D
es besteht also hoffnung, wenn ich so gegen 3 dort bin.... :rolleyes::wideeyed::dance:

sicher? ich bin mir relativ sicher, eine setlist bei dem cp konzert in oberhausen ausgehängt gesehnen zu haben... aber ich hab halt keinen stehplatz und komme nich nah genug an die bühne ran, um so nen typen zu bequatschen;)
aber ich werds mal versuchen...
und ich weiß nich genau, wann ich gehe, da ich nen festen platz hab muss ich ja nich so früh da sein...
*Becky*

02-09-2008, 09:53 AM
Naja damals in Oberhausen fing das Konzert um 20 Uhr an und ich bin gegen 19 Uhr reingegangen und hab noch nen Platz in der 5. oder 6. Reihe bekommen. Von daher müsste 18 Uhr bei euch doch noch reichen. :)
Wünsch euch nochmal viel Spaß! Fein Bilder machen und so nech?! :D

Hihi, also wenn ich ehrlich bin, war ich gestern wegen Strasbourg schon so aufgeregt, so wegen der neuen Setlist und so... :D Aber heute ist das ja noch was anderes... Ich mein, wenn ich drandenk... Hab' ja noch Ferien, da wäre'n Trip nach Mannheim irgendwie sogar noch drin gewesen... :rolleyes: Na ja, bis Ende diesen Monats werd' ich's auch noch irgendwie durchhalten. :laugh3:
@*Becky*: Ja, mach mal schön fleißig Fotos. Aber ich würd' auch nicht nur die ganze Zeit mit der Digicam "rumfuchteln", weil's zumindest mir im Nachhinein dann meisten so geht, dass ich es bereue, so viel Zeit in die Fotoschießerei investiert zu haben, sodass ich teilweise Teile des Konzerts gar nicht mehr richtig wahrnehmen konnte. ;)
@yes!: Na ja, jetzt wirst es wohl nicht mehr vergessen. :laugh3: ;)

Waaah Albtraum! :shocked2: Schlimm ist auch, wenn die Bilder, die man macht, alle nichts werden, man die Kamera verliert, die Batterien leer gehen... Es gibt so viele Möglichkeiten! :confused:

Naja, so eineinhalb stunden muss ich schon fahrn... ich denke, so um 4 gehts los;)
allerdings kann ich die freundin, die ich mitnehmen wollte, nich erreichen...das wird jetzt wieder stressig, bis ich die bei mir im auto sitzen hab:confused:

Wenn man's in 'nem gesunden Maß hält, dann geht das schon. Ich mein, danach freut man sich ja auch darüber, einige nette "Erinnerungsstücke" zu haben. ;) Na ja, du kriegst das schon hin, da bin ich mir sicher! :)

ja, ich werd mir mühe geben... ich war vor 1 1/2 wdchen nämlich auf dem rem-konzert in würzburg und als michal stipe dann endlich mal in meine nähe kam, hab ich das mit dem zoom nich hingekrigt und jetzt hab ich trotzdem keine gescheiten fotos:(
übrigens, weiß einer, was für ne kameraeinstellung man am besten nimmt?

Hmmm gute Frage! Das würd mich auch mal interessieren.
Meine Digicam macht gute Nachtfotos mithilfe eines Extra-Nacht-Modus, aber auch nur, wenn man die Hand ganz still hält. Ohne Stativ ist das schon fast unmöglich. :(

Ohje, das tut mir leid für ich. :( Vielleicht hilft's dir, wenn ich dir sage, dass ich das Problem auch nur allzu gut kenne? Obwohl, bei mir ist eigentlich noch öfters der laaaaahme Auslöser schuld dran, dass es mit den Fotos nix wird... :\
Puuh, also das mit der Kameraeinstellung kommt wohl sehr auf die Digicam an, da funktioniert doch jede unterschiedlich bei solchen Bedingungen... Bei meiner jedenfalls tut's der Automatikmodus eigentlich meistens und dann würd' ich halt den Blitz ein- und ausschalten, je nach Situation. ;)

Genau! Ich hatte auch Nachtmodus, aber alle Bilder waren verwackelt:angry:
Dann hab ichs mal mit nem "Feuerwerk-modus" versucht, aber das wurde auch nichts

...und falls die Fotos damit nichts werden... Hat deine Kamera so einen "Kinder & Tiere"- oder einen "Anti Shake"-Modus? Die sind manchmal auch nicht schlecht, ist mir grad noch so eingefallen... ;)

und wenn du einfach auf gut glück nach köln fährst? ich mein, ich will dir keine falschen hoffnungen machen - aber beim madonna konzert hat ne karte regulär 130 euro gekostet und ne halbe stunde vor konzertbeginn hat man vom schwarzmarkt noch welche für 30 bekommen.

i just got back from the coldplay concert in mannheim.
four words: they. own. my. life.
well, what can i say since most of you have seen them in concert anyway? i love them to death.
the support band kinda sucked. they were not bad, i just didn't like the music. however, i was slightly pissed when that guy came up to us (my best friend and me) and said,"you're sitting on our seats." he was so rude and mean. well, we stood up and checked if those were their seats or ours. long story short, those idiots sat down after they chased us away, but they were the ones who couldn't read properly so we got our seats back. i was just mad because they made me feel those feeling at a coldplay concert, a band that's basically all about love. well.
when they finally came on stage after an hour and a half, i went completely bonkers. our seats were located right on the left handside of the stage, so guy faced us the entire time and we got to see them first when they came on stage!!! when they climbed the stairs i bursted into tears. i'm probably one of the few people in the world who manage to cry for "life in technicolour". that song does not even have words!
i loved the concert. i loved every moment. i loved how the crowd repeated the "viva la vida" theme over and over again. even when they already climed their spot in the crowd to perform an acoustic version of "the scientist" and "death will never conquer". we got both "fix you" and "cemeteries of london", but we didn't get "strawberry swing", one of my favourites off the album. :(
and i loved the part when chris played the piano all alone and singing a slow version of "talk". beautiful! and he was at our side of the stage!!! =)
and he spoke quite a lot of german throughout the whole concert. he was sooo funny claiming we were "fucking" awesome singers.
i still need to check out the pictures i took and the crappy videos i recorded. there might be a few good ones among them.
i kept telling my best friend about the butterflies and that we're not gonna get any because we got seats. well, i asked that nice girl if she could give a few to us and she did. and we also found a few outside the venue. yes, we picked them up. yes, we did not feel too classy to do so.
when we first arrived at the venue and looked at the merchandise stands i did not intend to buy any shirts because they were just as expensive as i expected them to be. they had the same prices in america and traded the dollar sign for a euro sign! that's quite mean. 30$ are 20€, not 30€. well, the concert blew my mind away so i went to spend 30€ on a t-shirt...
it's almost 1:20 am and i have to get up for school in a few hours, but i thought i'd keep you updated first! :P
so it's basically your fault when i look dead in maths class today.

no problem. i had to write it down as soon as i got home.
the piano version of "talk" totally got to me. such a great band. seriously. they sounded amazing. chris' voice was soooo good. except when he forgot the words in "lost". :dozey:
but my favourite moment was when they wanted to start their acoustic set in the crowd and everyone just kept singing the "viva la vida" theme. they were laughing a bit because we did not let them sing and made them listen to us instead. :laugh3:

I know how it feels :dance: I barely slept in three days and i'm still here, and God knows how much i'm exhausted and my entire body hurts .. :confused:
did they play Dont panic ?
Grace
03-09-2008, 12:32 AM
yeah, he rarely spoke english. only that one time when he said, we were "fucking great singers, seriously!"
he said stuff like "goodbye" and "how are you?" in german. and "hallo, meine freunde", which means "hello, my friends".
i can't believe the concert went by so fast. i can't remeber a thing, but then again a bilion thoughts at once cross my mind.
all i know is that my love to coldplay is like the love to your boyfriend or girlfreind multiplied by 2,493,948. and that chris is such an entertaining, fun-loving person. he's awesome. and i wish i could see the world through his eyes and be a bit like him too. ;)
EDIT:: no, they did not play "don't panic" unfortunately. :(

(and am I the only one here who prefers Square One to Speed of Sound,which I find ultimately boring?)
BostonSportsTD
03-09-2008, 12:50 AM
^^no. square one is one of my favorite live songs. i experience both (they played square one in hartford, speed of sound in boston) and i can tell you square one was MUCH better. speed of sound IS boring and live it just kinda leaves everyone standing around. just my opinion tho!
A RUSH OF VIDA
03-09-2008, 12:50 AM
did they play YES?
Grace
03-09-2008, 12:51 AM
yes, they did play "yes".
if i remember correctly.
this was pretty much like a trip on drugs. i don't even know what a trip on drugs is like, but it must feel quite similar. they palyed so many songs, but it went by by the snipping of fingers.
i think i prefer "square one" because the live performance of that song is much better compared "speed of sound". but i still enjoyed it!:smug:
Strawberry Swinger
03-09-2008, 12:51 AM
mine as well. speed of sound always sounded like a mere copy of clocks, and IMO is the weakest song on X&Y ... Square one kicks ass,it's so energetic...But I doubt they will play it in Hungary :(
And I wish they just dumped Chinese sleep chant. It is my least fav Coldplay song ever. Change it for Reign of Love/Shiver/Warning Sign/X&Y... God too many good songs...
BostonSportsTD
03-09-2008, 12:54 AM
i completely agree with you there about chinese sleep chant. dont get why the band is so in love with this song. can you believe they played that over cemeteries alll during the US leg? anyway... did they play any new songs?
Grace
03-09-2008, 12:57 AM
"Chinese sleep chant"!!!!
OMG!

what. a. moment. i freaked out when i saw it whereas nobody else in my area seemed to have noticed it!
btw, does the band get to pick which songs are played before the band comes on stage?
they played very cool stuff such as sigur rós, bloc party and even jay-z! i wondered if chris picked it because we all know he's bessie mates with jay-z. :laugh3:

four words: they. own. my. life.
well, what can i say since most of you have seen them in concert anyway? i love them to death.
when they climbed the stairs i bursted into tears. i'm probably one of the few people in the world who manage to cry for "life in technicolour". that song does not even have words!.
oh trust me when I say - you're not the only one that has gotten emotional during the extreme buildup during Life in Technicolour... when that first guitar note rings out its like a massive sensory overload.... :) and then 90min later during Death And All His Friends when the curtain comes down its like the most sad feeling knowing its coming to an end... quite the whirlwind from beginning to end of the concert. (and then when they actually played Don't Panic in Toronto that just about killed me).

I also liked it more when they were just the guys next door...not with the same clothes which fit to the new album and all that stuff....it's too much imo...

GERMAN:
Coldplay in Mannheim: „Unglaubli(s)ch!“
Die Arena in Mannheim war voll bis unters Dach – etwa 13.000 Fans sind gekommen, um Coldplay bei ihrem Auftakt zur Deutschlandtour mit dem neuen Album „Viva la Vida“ anzuschauen.
„Hello Mannheim, wie geht’s“ – Coldplay-Frontmann Chris Martin hat während der ganzen Show immer wieder mit den Fans gesprochen, und zwar auf deutsch. Und wenn alle mitgesungen haben, fand das Chris Martin einfach „unglaublisch“. Bestimmt hat er während der Show drei Kilo abgenommen, so wie er über die Bühne geturnt ist, wild getanzt hat und dabei auch noch jeden Meter ausgenutzt hat. „Life In Technicolor“ – damit fing es relativ ruhig an, da hat die Band noch hinter einem transparenten Vorhang gestanden, hinter ihnen riesengroß das Cover des „Viva la Vida“-Albums. Und dann ging’s richtig los: „Violet Hill“, „In My Place“, „Speed of Sound“ – Coldplay haben keine Sekunde Pause gemacht! Das Konzert war auch was fürs Auge: Licht-Effekte, Lasershow, leuchtende Riesenkugeln über der Bühne, auf denen die Show übertragen wurde. Die Jungs haben sich da richtig was einfallen lassen. Die Bühne hatte links und rechts zwei Rampen runter ins Publikum, und auf denen liefen Chris Martin und Lead-Gitarrist Jonny Buckland auch mitten rein in die Menge. Da konnten die Fans sie fast anfassen.
Bei „Viva la Vida“ tobt die Halle
Ein absolutes Highlight der Show: „Viva la Vida“ – da sind wirklich restlos alle von ihren Sitzen aufgesprungen, und man hat eigentlich nur noch Tausende klatschende, hochgestreckte Hände gesehen. Sehr abwechslungsreich war die Musikmischung: mit jeder Menge Extras von Lichteffekten und wechselndem Bühnenbild, über einen Konfettiregen aus Papierschmetterlingen bis zum Akustik-Part der Band mitten im Publikum. Coldplay haben da wirklich einen Knaller-Tourauftakt hingelegt.

ENGLISH:
Coldplay in Mannheim: "Unbelievable!“
The Arena in Mannheim was full up under the roof - about 13,000 fans have came to see Coldplay in their prelude to the German tour with the new album "Viva la Vida".
"Hello Mannheim, wie geht's" - throughout the show Coldplay front man Chris Martin repeatedly talked with the fans, in German. And if all people sang along, Chris Martin said it's "unglaubli(s)ch". During the show he has lost three kilos certainly, as he exercised across the stage, dancing wildly and has even exploited every metre. "Life in Technicolor" - It began relatively quietly, as the band was still behind a transparent curtain with an enormous cover of the "Viva la Vida" album behind them. And then it went off: "Violet Hill", "In My Place", "Speed of Sound" - Coldplay didn't stop a second! The concert was also pleasing to the eye: light effects, laser show, giant glowing balls above the stage on which the show has been transferred. The boys really came up with an idea. On the left and right the stage had two ramps down into the audience, on which Chris Martin and lead guitarist Jonny Buckland directly ran into the crowd. The fans were nearly able to touch them.
During "Viva la Vida" the hall became wildly enthusiastic
An absolute highlight of the show: "Viva la Vida" - completely everyone jumped up from their seats and the only thing you have seen were thousands of clapping and stretched out hands. The music mixture was very varied: with lots of extras, changing lighting effects, a changing stage design, a confetti of paper butterflies and an acoustic part of the band in the middle of the audience. Coldplay really kicked off an incredible prelude of their tour.

Please note that the setlist as it is posted here is NOT correct!
All the songs it includes have been played (except for Trouble), that's right, but the order is wrong!
I don't remember it entirely either but In my place was played much earlier (after Clocks I think), Trouble was NOT played, after the two piano songs came Lost and after Viva La Vida the band left the stage in order to play the two acoustic songs.
Still, I can't guarantee it is entirely right this way, but it definitiely is closer to the truth :)

oops, no Don't Panic? I want them to play it in Barcelona!! It's my favourite one!
I cannot understand why they only play 20-21 songs, c'mon they have 4 albums... although I don't like too much X&Y, there are too many good songs to be played... and after buying such an expensive ticket they must play a 2hours and a half gig! haha xD
anyway, I hope they play Don't Panic next Saturday... I don't mind if they don't play Speed of Sound :P

Alright, let's see:
1. Life In Technicolor
2. Violet Hill
3. Clocks
4. In My Place
5. Yellow
6. Cemeteries of London
7. Chinese Sleep Chant
8. God Put A Smile Upon Your Face
9. 42
10. Yes!
11. The Hardest Part + Talk (piano and both not completely)
12. Lost!
13. Speed Of Sound
14. Viva La Vida
15. The Scientist
16. Death Will Never Conquer (Will on vocals)
First Encore
17. Politik
18. Lovers In Japan
19. Death And All His Friends
Second Encore (in the backround: Talk Junkie XL Remix)
20. Fix You
21. The Escapist
Again, I can't guarantee it's right this way, just closer to what really happened! In particular I'm unsure if the order from songs 8-10 is right. I'm also not entirely sure about the position of "Speed of sound". Might also have been song no. 11 instead (before the piano songs). The rest should be right this way!

Changes in the setlist again... Well, I'm not sure which one I prefer. I think both have their positive and negative sides. And I wonder how the setlist will look like at the end of this month... Well, actually I wouldn't care too much as I'd obviously still love every piece of it. :laugh3:

No problem at all!
Btw: When have they started to play this weird (but in a very positive sense) version of God put a smile upon your face?
I heard the FM-Broadcast from Brixton Academy in June and there they played the conventional version of the song.
Being not the biggest fan of the album version, I liked this new take on the song a lot!!! :)

i went completely insane when he did that. :laugh3: not sure if he kissed jonny too. i was too busy being looney.
and no, they did not play any new songs.
OMFG I wanna see that!!

03-09-2008, 02:31 PM
Okay, here is my review, I hope you get what I`m saying because I´m a just 15-year old German girl that can`t speak real English ;)
I went to this concert with my cousin and we arrived at 7.00h in Mannheim. There were really many people standing outside, but the arena was quite empty as we took our seats. We had seats on the right side of the stage (the perfect seats for a Jonny fan <3) and a quite good view.
The band playing before Coldplay was Albert Hammond Jr. (at least I think so, I`m not sure ;) ). They were quite good but nothing special. After they left the stage, more people came in to the sold out arena and the crowd began to clap and scream and I was excited as hell :)
And then they came. Because I stood right to the stage I could see them even if they were standing behind the curtainJ. Unluckily the people next to me were boring, and so I was the only one standing and dancing the whole time. Life in Technicolor was great, the band was full of energy and they rocked instantly after they appeared on stage!
The next song was Violet Hill. The huge album cover was displayed behind them and everything was lighted in blue when the curtain was lift up. Clocks was great as usual, at first with red light, later with green spotlights. The following song was In my place and Chris was jumping all over the stage. Jonny walked to the small stage on the left. Chris said something like: “ Everybody okay? Thank you for coming out to the Coldplay concert on Tuesday evening, this is my best friend Jonny Buckland” and he…well…touched Jonny ;) Then he lay on the ground while Jonny was playing above him :D <3
The next song was Cemeteries of London. I really hoped they would play it, because it`s one of my favourite song of VLV. J They used the magic balls the first time ( the big one in the middle was shining like a mirror ball), and everything was lighted in blue. I don`t understand why they didn`t play the song at the beginning of the tour, it´s amazing in the live version.
Yellow was following, and Chris was again jumping around. The big screen behind them showed Chris singing now and the end he asked the crowd:” Are you okay over there? Are you okay over there? Are okay down here?” again and again in every direction and said “Dankeschön” (Thank you).
The next song was 42, my favourite song of the album <3. Now not only the big screen but also the magic balls showed Chris singing at the slow part of the song. Then the stage was lighted in red and the screen showed all four band members in turn.
Speed of Sound followed and the whole crowed clapped. The magic balls shined in all colours and looked like they would spin. Chinese Sleep Chant is amazing live, too. The lights were all yellow and Chris stood near Guy while playing acoustic guitar (unfortunately I couldn`t see Chris kissing him, like some people said L ).
The next song was God put a smile upon your face with a crazy but cool guitar riff from Jonny. I`ve never heard the song in this version, but it`s great! Yes followed, as good as I expected it to be.
Then Chris went to the small stage on the left side of the main stage and played a wonderful acoustic version of Talk. I`d say it was better than the original version. He changed into Hardest Part, also acoustic and really beautiful. At the end he played a melody I´ve never heard before, it sounded like classical music and now I`ve got told that it was Postcards from far away (thanks to Lauve), but the song didn´t have lyrics :(
Chris stood up and began to sing Lost! And ask the crowd to get up, clap, sing and dance with him. Viva la vida wasthe next song, amazing (with a dancing Chris) as usual. The crowd loved the song and everybody sang the chorus as loud as they could. And they didn´t stop to sing while the band went to the back of the arena to play an acoustic version of the Scientist ( the band had to wait until the crowd stopped singing). Unluckily I couldn`t see them anymore L. Death will never conquer followed and I have to admit that Will is a great singer, he has a lovely voice!
The band came back to the main stage in the dark and we could hear an incredible version of Talk that sounded a bit like techno to me. Politik was the next song. The big magic ball in the middle looked like the earth while everything around was dark – beautiful. Lovers in Japan started in violet light and with this strange film on the screen behind the stage. Everyone went crazy when the butterflies came down the first time, the second kind of butterflies shone in the dark. :flutterby:
The next song was Death an all his friends with a big“Viva”on the screen. Chris said:” Thank you for this Tuesday evening” and the rest can`t be described with words ;) . The band took a bow, went behind the stage and came back with Fix you. Chris jumped and ran around like he was crazy and the crowd was blown away. At the end Chris said: ” Bis bald!” (See you soon). The escapist was the final song and while Chris was singing, the magic ball showed the Oxfam logo.
Everybody got out the arena quickly, some people where still singing Viva la Vida, and I went down to the floor to get me a few butterflies. Outside the arena many people stood in front of the merchandising shop (me too) and bought t-shirts. I got a Shirt for 30 € (everything was extremely expensive L), a poster and the wonderful Tourbook with amazing pictures J. When we got back to our car, the people were still singing!

Thank you for coming out to the Coldplay concert on Tuesday evening, this is my best friend Jonny Buckland” and he…well…touched Jonny ;) Then he lay on the ground while Jonny was playing above him :D <3
The next song was Cemeteries of London. I really hoped they would play it, because it`s one of my favourite song of VLV. J They used the magic balls the first time ( the big one in the middle was shining like a mirror ball), and everything was lighted in blue. I don`t understand why they didn`t play the song at the beginning of the tour, it´s amazing in the live version.
Yellow was following, and Chris was again jumping around. The big screen behind them showed Chris singing now and the end he asked the crowd:” Are you okay over there? Are you okay over there? Are okay down here?” again and again in every direction and said “Dankeschön” (Thank you).
The next song was 42, my favourite song of the album <3. Now not only the big screen but also the magic balls showed Chris singing at the slow part of the song. Then the stage was lighted in red and the screen showed all four band members in turn.
Speed of Sound followed and the whole crowed clapped. The magic balls shined in all colours and looked like they would spin. Chinese Sleep Chant is amazing live, too. The lights were all yellow and Chris stood near Guy while playing acoustic guitar (unfortunately I couldn`t see Chris kissing him, like some people said L ).
The next song was God put a smile upon your face with a crazy but cool guitar riff from Jonny. I`ve never heard the song in this version, but it`s great! Yes followed, as good as I expected it to be.
Then Chris went to the small stage on the left side of the main stage and played a wonderful acoustic version of Talk. I`d say it was better than the original version. He changed into Hardest Part, also acoustic and really beautiful. At the end he played a melody I´ve never heard before, it sounded like classical music and now I`ve got told that it was Postcards from far away (thanks to Lauve), but the song didn´t have lyrics :(
Chris stood up and began to sing Lost! And ask the crowd to get up, clap, sing and dance with him. Viva la vida wasthe next song, amazing (with a dancing Chris) as usual. The crowd loved the song and everybody sang the chorus as loud as they could. And they didn´t stop to sing while the band went to the back of the arena to play an acoustic version of the Scientist ( the band had to wait until the crowd stopped singing). Unluckily I couldn`t see them anymore L. Death will never conquer followed and I have to admit that Will is a great singer, he has a lovely voice!
The band came back to the main stage in the dark and we could hear an incredible version of Talk that sounded a bit like techno to me. Politik was the next song. The big magic ball in the middle looked like the earth while everything around was dark – beautiful. Lovers in Japan started in violet light and with this strange film on the screen behind the stage. Everyone went crazy when the butterflies came down the first time, the second kind of butterflies shone in the dark. :flutterby:
The next song was Death an all his friends with a big“Viva”on the screen. Chris said:” Thank you for this Tuesday evening” and the rest can`t be described with words ;) . The band took a bow, went behind the stage and came back with Fix you. Chris jumped and ran around like he was crazy and the crowd was blown away. At the end Chris said: ” Bis bald!” (See you soon). The escapist was the final song and while Chris was singing, the magic ball showed the Oxfam logo.
Everybody got out the arena quickly, some people where still singing Viva la Vida, and I went down to the floor to get me a few butterflies. Outside the arena many people stood in front of the merchandising shop (me too) and bought t-shirts. I got a Shirt for 30 € (everything was extremely expensive L), a poster and the wonderful Tourbook with amazing pictures J. When we got back to our car, the people were still singing!

Postcards was played at the end of The Hardest Part (also solo acoustic piano by Chris). It's what Becky nicely described as ending that sounded like classical music :-)
Another information: The webpage of the German newspaper "Spiegel" features a two minute video with short clips from the concert and interviews with fans in the arena! Might not only be interesting for the German speaking part of this forum ;-)

Nun war es endlich soweit! Der 2. September ist gekommen und Coldplay sind zu Gast in der SAP Arena in Mannheim mit ihrer “Viva La Vida” Tour. In der ausverkauften SAP Arena, welche ca. 11.000 Besucher fasste, bot sich ein einzigartiges Bild. Die Show, die Coldplay hier ablieferte war grandios! Diese Band, bzw. deren Bild- und Tontechniker, versteht es wirklich Musik, Licht und Bühnenbild so zu kombinieren, wie ich es vorher noch nie gesehen habe. Das Konzert an sich war eine Zeitreise durch alle Coldplay-Alben, währen die Band ihre Hits von “Clocks” bis “Viva La Vida” spielte.
Beim Intro, nachdem sich der Saal verdunkelt hatte und eine Art halbdurchlässiger Vorhang vor der Bühne hing, kam die Band auf die Bühne, wurde von hinten mit Scheinwerfern bestrahlt und man konnte nur ihre Silhouette sehen. Die perfekte Inszenierung wurde auch durch “Kugeln” unterstützt, auf die von innen verschiedene Videos projeziert wurden (”Bsp. Publikum, oder gar ganze Filme”). Der Höhepunkt jedoch war während des Liedes “Lovers in Japan”, bei dem auf das Publikum ein Regen aus tausenden Papierschmetterlingen nieder ging.
Coldplay hat gezeigt, dass diese Band mit Effekten spielt und so eine Vorstellung abgab, welche ich mir nicht besser hätte vorstellen können. Der hohe Eintrittspreis hat sich eindeutig gelohnt, und ich würde es auf jeden Fall immer wieder tun!

Now it finally arrived! September the 2nd has come and Coldplay are guests in the SAP Arena in Mannheim with their "Viva La Vida" tour. The sold-out SAP Arena, which took more than 11,000 visitors, offered a unique image. The show which Coldplay performed here was terrific! This band, or their image and sound engineers, really understands how to combine music, lighting and stage design, as I’ve never seen before. The concert itself was a journey through all the Coldplay albums, while the band played their hits from "Clocks" to "Viva La Vida".
During the intro, after the hall was dimmed out and a kind of semi permeable curtain was hanging in front of the stage, the band came on stage, has been irradiated by headlamps from behind and you could only see their silhouette. The perfect staging was assisted by "balls", on which various videos were projected inside (e.g. the audience, or even entire movies). The highlight, however, was during the song "Lovers in Japan" in which a rain of thousands of paper butterflies went down to the audience.
Coldplay has shown that this band plays with effects and performed a show which I wouldn’t imagine any better. The high ticket price has clearly paid off, and I would always do it again!

Now was it finally so far! 2 September came and Coldplay are appearing in the SAP arena in Mannheim with their “Viva La Vida” tour. In the sold out SAP arena, approx. 11,000 visitors were offered a unique picture. The show Coldplay delivered here was magnificent! The sound, lighting, and video technicians really understand the music to combine light and scenery in such a way as I have ever seen before. The concert was actually a journey through all the Coldplay albums, with the band playing hits “Clocks” to “Viva La Vida”.
With the Intro, after the hall had darkened and a kind of semi-seethrough curtain hung before the stage, the tape started playing on the stage, and you could only see their silhouettes illuminated from the rear by spotlights. The perfect staging was also supported by “balls” , on the inside of which videos were projected (the audience or films). The climax however was during the song “Lovers in Japan”, during which thousands of paper butterflies rained down on the audience. Coldplay delivered an image, which I could not myself have imagined better. The high entry price has unambiguously been worthwhile, and I would do it over and over again anyway!

Coldplay mit Gespür für Dramaturgie
Von Thorsten Keller, 03.09.08, 14:40h, aktualisiert 03.09.08, 14:42h
13 000 Fans feierten die britische Band "Coldplay" in der Mannheimer SAP-Arena. Gleich zu Beginn dringen die Musiker mit "Violet Hill" direkt zum Kern der aktuellen CD „Viva la Vida“ vor - energischer, rhythmisch komplexer und weniger introvertiert, als man die englische Band bisher kannte.
Ehe Coldplay ihre Deutschland-Tour in der Mannheimer SAP-Arena starten, läuft minutenlang Wiener Walzer vom Band, wie in einem schlechten „Sissi“-Film. Als die 13 000 Fans in der ausverkauften Halle noch darüber nachdenken, welcher tiefere Sinn in dieser Pausenmusik liegen könnte, kommen die vier Coldplay-Musiker selbst auf die Bühne, sind aber während der ersten Nummer „Life in Technicolor“ nur als Schattenrisse hinter einem transparenten Vorhang zu erahnen.
Nach diesem etwas verhuschten Prolog geht der Vorhang hoch, und mit „Violet Hill“ dringen Coldplay direkt zum Kern der aktuellen CD „Viva la Vida“ vor - energischer, rhythmisch komplexer und weniger introvertiert, als man die englische Band bisher kannte. Auch visuell knüpfen Sänger Chris Martin und Gitarrist Johnny Buckland mit ihren stilisierten Zirkusuniformen an „Viva la Vida“ an - das Outfit kennt von den Werbefotos zum aktuellen Album.
Gediegener Kuschelrock
Einer Umfrage des touristischen Internet-Portals Travelodge zufolge ist Coldplay die Band, die man in Großbritannien am liebsten hört, ehe man abends die Augen schließt, also Musik zum Einschlafen im engeren Wortsinn. An diese Umfrage mag man in Mannheim denken, als sich Chris Martin ans Klavier setzt (beziehungsweise legt, seine Nase berührt dabei beinahe die Tasten) und den neuen Song „42“ anspielt. Gediegener Kuschelrock, alte Coldplay-Schule - das ist der erste Eindruck. Doch nach knapp zwei Minuten kippt die Nummer, es folgt ein Zwischenspiel mit wilden technoiden Zuckungen, dann geht es wieder zurück zum Ausgangspunkt. Der aufgemöbelte Sound macht auch vor dem älteren Repertoire nicht Halt: Mit „God Put a Smile on Your Face“ nimmt die Band einen Hit aus dem Jahr 2002 auseinander, als sei es ein Remix von Brian Eno, mit stampfenden Bässen und flirrenden, fiependen Spezialeffekten.
Natürlich stellen Coldplay auch auf der laufenden Tour jenen feierlichen, schwerblütigen Stadionrock (Prototyp: „In My Place“) her, mit dem sie ein Millionenpublikum erobert haben, sogar auf dem für britische Bands kaum zu knackenden US-Markt. Dabei beweist die Band allerdings ein feines Gespür für Dramaturgie. Während des ersten Single-Hits „Yellow“ wird die komplette Arena mit gelben Spots geflutet, eine Lichtstimmung wie auf einer belgischen Autobahn. Die große Videowand hinter den Musikern zeigt eine Totale des hell erleuchteten Innenraums - ein äußerst effektvoller Spiegeltrick, der das Publikum mal eben verdoppelt.
Tuchfühlung mit den Fans
Im Gegensatz zu den Open-Air-Shows des Jahres 2005, als Coldplay nur distanziert und müde ihr Programm runterspulten, sind in die aktuelle Produktion zwei Blöcke integriert, in denen die Band auf freundliche Tuchfühlung mit den Fans geht. Die Ballade „Hardest Part“ spielt Chris Martin solo auf einer Mini-Bühne, die wie eine Insel aus dem Innenraum ragt, er wirkt in diesem Augenblick nicht wie ein abgebrühter Rockstar, sondern wie ein trauriger Pianist in einer zweifelhaften Hotelbar.
Die besten Plätze haben an diesem Abend in Mannheim die Zuschauer in Block 211 im Unterrang der Arena gebucht. Dort versammeln sich Coldplay auf einer weiteren Behelfsbühne für einen kurzen Akustik-Set, nur mit Gitarren, Mandoline und Mundharmonika. Nebenbei lassen sie hier aus dem bleischweren Song „The Scientist“ die Luft raus, weniger (beziehungsweise keine) Keyboards ist in diesem Fall eindeutig mehr.
Ganz ohne weltanschauliches Rahmenprogramm geht es natürlich nicht bei Coldplay. Zwischen Zapfsäulen für „Eichbaum-Pils“, Bratwurstbuden und dem gut sortierten Stand mit den Fanartikeln stehen im Foyer auch Info-Tische der britischen Organisation Oxfam, die sich für Entwicklungshilfe und fairen Welthandel einsetzt. Trotz griffiger Slogans und direkter Ansprache („It's time for justice“, „You've got power“) bleibt der Andrang an diesen Ständen bescheiden - die Weltrettung in einem Pop- und Entertainment-Kontext ist eben ein mühseliges Geschäft.

Is there any chance to hear the versions of GPASUYF and Talk (the "techno" version)?...That'd be great--:D

well, the forgot to mention "talk" in their setlist.
the "techno" version of "talk" was just that remix available on the "talk" single if i remember correctly. it was just background music that was played while we waited for the encore.

Jenjie, do you also need a translation for the new article? You kill me! :D :P
Well perhaps I'll find the time to do it tomorrow. It's a bit longer. :)
Ehe Coldplay ihre Deutschland-Tour in der Mannheimer SAP-Arena starten, läuft minutenlang Wiener Walzer vom Band, wie in einem schlechten „Sissi“-Film.
Is that true? :stunned: It says that they played a kind of Viennese Walzer music in the background before the show officially started? Why did they do that? Never heard of it before...
