It's weird - 7th of November 2005 still feels like yesterday and now they're coming again. I like!

Hope they play Politik, it was so loud last time!!!

[not01]

I'm so happy they're coming again!
Ofc I'm going - can't wait! :P

I hope they play What if.
Does anyone know when the tracklisting for the tour will be out?

[Silverspira]

Åh det kommer bli så otroligt bäst!!! :D

[Cold RadioMuse]

mhm, det lär bli sjukt nice! :)
och ja, vill verkligen veta setlistarna för denna turnén, så man kan plugga in alla låtordningar:P

[not01]

Hur fort tog biljetterna slut till senaste spelningen? Jag har redan övertalat min mamma att boka direkt på minuten biljetterna släpps, men det vore skönt att veta :P

[PaTTeri]

Again sweden :(

They should come to finland too.. If not, i guess i have to go to stockholm.

[not01]

Again sweden :(

They should come to finland too.. If not, i guess i have to go to stockholm.

Perhaps Coldplay have got more fans in Sweden than in Finland? Of course they have chosen to tour the places where they have their fans...

[marko1892]

any idea of prices for the show? i will be flying over from England to Stockholm as my sister is living in sweden next year :)

[marko1892]

sorry, just checked now prices are 495 SEK for standing

[Autonom]

Hur lång tid kommer man ha på sig att få biljetter typ? Hur lång tid tog det senast?

[not01]

Hur lång tid kommer man ha på sig att få biljetter typ? Hur lång tid tog det senast?

undrar samma sak...förra gången, hur fort tog biljetterna slut?

[Silverspira]

Jaa, jag undrar också hur lång tid man har på sig. Jag kommer stå beredd vid Globens biljettkassa kl 9 för säkerhets skull! :rolleyes:
Är väldigt nyfiken på det här dom har sagt att dom kommer ha "magic balls" på scenen (bara jag som får lite läskiga associationer?)

[Starlight Chaser]

Förhoppningsvis tar biljetterna inte slut direkt, jag har för mig att det fanns biljetter kvar ganska länge sist de var här men man vet ju aldrig. Är hur som helst galet peppad! :)

[Autonom]

först stod det att alla var slut :P typ 1.5 mins efter släppet, men sen fick ja biljetter på andra försöket :D

[Starlight Chaser]

Jag lyckades efter om och men få tag på en ståplatsbiljett, men nu verkar det vara slutsålt. Trodde ärligt sagt inte att det skulle gå så snabbt!

[not01]

HJÄLP! Jag fick biljetter, 2 st, B-sektionen. Nu verkar det dock som att de har lagt till ännu en konert den 17:e!? Den däremot är inte slutsåld så jag funderar på att ta den istället och få bättre platser(A-sektionen).

[Rodan]

Jag lyckades få tag på 9 ståbiljetter till den 18e!
5 biljetter till Oslo
och 2 till den 17e september

Vilken fest det här kommer att bli!

[Starlight Chaser]

Oj oj, tre kvällar i rad med Coldplay, det kan inte bli bättre! Hur trevligt som helst med en extrakonsert, nu får det gärna bli september snart. :)

[bergstrommarn]

Puh, efter mycket om och men har jag min ståplats till den 18e. Förmodligen köper jag till 17e också, och Oslo lockar som fan. Tre olika setlists. Fett nice det vore

[Silverspira]

jag har lyckats få 4 ståplatser till den 18:e, 2 stå och 2 sittplatser (sittplatserna är till min mamma... :rolleyes:) till den 17:e! :lol:
Kommer bli så jävla grymt!!!

[eeev]

FICK TAG I STÅPLATSBILJETTER :D är överlycklig. :D coldplay<3<3

tror ni man kommer behöva köa länge innan konserten?

[handiraz]

Jag lyckades få tag på ståplatser också för den 18:e! men jag visste inte om konserten på den 17:e. men den andra dagen kommer att bli bättre!

[Autonom]

FICK TAG I STÅPLATSBILJETTER :D är överlycklig. :D coldplay<3<3

tror ni man kommer behöva köa länge innan konserten?


Undrar jag också, ni lite mer konserterfarna, hur länge behöver man köa för en bra plats?

[Westgren]

Bara jag som tycker det är pisigt att släppa en extra konsert dagen innan the real one? Vi som satt och köade imorse för att få biljetter blir nu snuvade på Sverige-premiären... Känns som ett slag i ansiktet

[Autonom]

Nej jag känner lite så också, men man kan ju knappast göra någoting åt det.
Får bara hoppas att dom inte blir trötta den 17e :)

[eeev]

Bara jag som tycker det är pisigt att släppa en extra konsert dagen innan the real one? Vi som satt och köade imorse för att få biljetter blir nu snuvade på Sverige-premiären... Känns som ett slag i ansiktet

nja, lite surt e det kanske. men å andra sidan, det är ju den 18e som är den riktiga konserten :) jag ser den andra som en uppvärmning elr något;)

[eeev]

men folk! när bör man börja köa? :)

[Silverspira]

Bara jag som tycker det är pisigt att släppa en extra konsert dagen innan the real one? Vi som satt och köade imorse för att få biljetter blir nu snuvade på Sverige-premiären... Känns som ett slag i ansiktet


Nja, jag tyckte mest det var dålig stil att inte informera om extrakonserten utan bara släppa den någr atimamr senare, man var ju verkligen inte förberedd, som tur var så skulle jag gå in på ticnet bara för att för skojs skull kolla hur biljettstatusen var på konserten den 18:e. Om jag inte hade gjort detta hade jag förmodligen inte upptäckt extrakonserten förrän ståplatserna var slut:confused:

Och om de skulle lagt extrakonserten dagen efter, då hade du väl känt dej snuvat på "finalen"?

När konserten den 17:e är slut så får jag lägga mej utanför Globen med en filt, så är jag först i kön den 18:e! ;)

[eeev]

KALLT!

[bubbari]

If somebody has 2 tickets to standing places, I would like to buy those. It looks like coldplay isn´t coming to finland so i have to go to the stockholm.

//email: Bubbari@netti.fi //

Thanks

[Bauk]

Hey!
I'm from Holland and next week i'm gonna visit a good friend of mine, who is living in Stockholm for half a year. It would just be so cool if we could go to the concert!!
Does anybody have 2 tickets left, or know somebody who suddenly can't go anymore..?!
If you do, please contact me! (email: politikbauk@gmail.com)
Thank you very much!
And those who are attending the concert..have fun! :cool:

[CPRani]

You can check it out on this site : www.finn.no
Press on "Torget" and search for Coldplay, and you'll might find some tickets in Sweden, and Norway.

[Rodan]

När konserten den 17:e är slut så får jag lägga mej utanför Globen med en filt, så är jag först i kön den 18:e! ;)

Om vädret blir som de har sagt lär ingen dyka upp förrän typ kl 15 på torsdagen. Kaaallt!

[Maraboy]

Hi,

Does anyone know when the doors to venue will be opened? I'm coming from Finland, to see Coldplay at the first concert 17.9. My ticket says: Onsdag 17 sep 2008 KL 19.30. So is this the time when the doors will be opened? What would be the good time to arrive the venue before the concert?

Ps. I have never been in this size concert, and I have decided that when I come to Stockholm, just for seeing Coldplay, I want good position in the floor.

Markus

The doors are openening at 18.00, but the concert won't start until 19.30 (Albert Hammond Jr i.e) Coldplay are supposed to start at 20.40.

If you want a good spot on the floor I'd be there around 18, but then again the Globe is quite big so you will probably be able to get there a bit later than that and still get a good position. :)

[Silverspira]

När tänker folk börja köa?
Jag jag kommer runt 15 på torsdagen (får skippa sista lektionen i skolan...) och typ hela dan på torsdagen. Känns som att flest fans kommer komma på torsdagen i.o.m att de biljetterna släpptes först och därmed kommer det bli tidigare kö. Nån som håller med eller har nån annan teori?

[Rodan]

Jag som ska på spelningen imorgon kommer sova utanför globen tillsammans med ett gäng polare. Så kön börjare redan imorgon. Haha, nördigt.

[Silverspira]

Haha, så efter spelningen imorrn kommer du sova kvar? eller kommer du gå och lägga dig där ikväll?

[Rodan]

Jag sover utanför Globen. Haha. Vi tältar, eller tja, sover i sovsäck.

Since I'm blogging directly from my mobile phone, I'm able to post spontaneously and straight from the trenches, so to speak. However, I must confess that I can't help myself from nitpick editing as soon as I'm sitting at the computer.

You won't find any novel-length texts here since typing at length on the phone can be tedious. My entries will normally consist of a photo and a short caption and are meant to be little glimpses into my life.

[busybeeburns]

Let me explain that title. I don’t want you to think that the tiredness and cool Scandinavian air has made me start to hallucinate. Coldplay are on stage now, playing ‘Strawberry Swing’, in Globen (The Globe), Stockholm, Sweden, which happens to look like a giant golf ball. See.. I wasn’t making it up.

It’s been a while since I wrote. So let me just say… ‘Wow!’

1426 more Coldplay fans, like you and I, have made Oxfam’s Health and Education For All pledge. That’s just tonight.. and the night is still young! This is the second night in Stockholm’s famous Globe arena (*golf ball). On the first night, Oxfam volunteers helped 905 people make the pledge. That was with only 9 volunteers! Amazing stuff. Incredibly, that gives Oxfam a total of 2401, in two nights in Sweden. 2401 people who care about giving everyone, everywhere, access to good quality health care. To well trained nurses. The chance to go to school and learn, for a more sustainable future. Access to clean water and sanitation. Basic things that people need to survive, to be free from poverty, and to prosper.

I think that’s truly inspiring. Coldplay are out there at the moment, inspiring people with their music (the walls are shaking, it must be ’Politik’). I want to thank them for inviting us to involve their fans in Oxfam’s work around the world.

So.. back to Berlin. I failed to mention that! On Monday, Berlin played host to Coldplay in the brand new O2 World Arena, which overlooks the old Berlin wall. The venue was only 3 concerts old. It was a new place to explore, and felt a bit like a clean airport in comparison to some of the more mature venues we are playing.. (one of our volunteers went to the opening of The Globe in 1989..). Oxfam Deutschland volunteers again did a great job. Catching people sitting down or standing up, waiting for their favourite band, and giving them a chance to take action that night.

After Berlin, we were whisked away to Sweden. Literally whisked away. At first, I stayed up on the bus talking to Steffan, our driver. I then went to take a nap, and intended to wake up when we crossed “the longest bridge in the world”. I then slept through a ferry crossing, that bridge, Denmark and half of Sweden. After the first show was over, the crew took the chance to let off steam half way into this trip around Europe. It was a fun night. It was also a late night. Making a football match between band and crew, at lunch time the following day, a little more difficult for a few tired legs. The score was 11-8. It would be disrespectful to say which way it went..

This venue really is unique. I got vertigo when I went up to the top. It’s been two great shows here. But after this encore, a few hundred more Oxfam actions, and a quick load out from The Globe, we will hit the road again, for Norway.. Oslo awaits.

We only got one extra song while they got three last night. Bummer but it was great otherwise!

Mumsy's nose begs to disagree as the person to her left and the one in front of her both badly needed an introduction to soap, water and deo.

They (or Chris to be exact) played the opening parts of Amsterdam! Jesus, I think I've died and gone to heaven. That could have been one of the best moments of my life.

Amazing gig, slightly better than yesterday due to already mentioned fact. I'm holding my fingers crossed for an even better - if that is even possible - show in Oslo tomorrow. :)

Sole and förväntansfullt before Coldplay
GLOBEN. Time for Coldplay day 2, and in that I never upplevkt Coldplay two nights in a row, it should be interesting to see how much they dare and want to change.
They replace the one song. They add an extra encore.
Much more than that usually they do not deviate from the formula.
It is, moreover, smockfullt here. I tried to find parking in a whole half hour, but p-houses are unusually full. Coldplay public has taken the car. Which, in fact, says a lot about the fans when it will follow.
It is a day tomorrow, but do we.

Concert starts
GLOBEN. Christer Sjögren in Tyrol, Di Living in Calcutta and Coldplay in Tyrol - it is now the concert has started. Coldplay launches as yesterday - with “Life in technicolor” and “Violet hill.” Troubled strong singing from the audience already in “Violet hill.” Chris Martin takes on outrot and say, ‘Gokväll, thank you “in English. This start bodes well.


Deja vu in the Globe
GLOBEN. Here, it is mostly the same. Coldplay is on the “Speed of sound” after the “Clock” and “In my place”. The start exactly that yesterday. But I am not complaining. It is just as good. “Speed of sound” sound is even better.

Chris Martin hoping for great tonight
GLOBEN. Coldplaysångaren notes that this is the highest building the band ever played in. Only one thing the tub. Would not surprise me if it is the round as well. Just now he also la tonight’s conditions on the table:
We would like to do an even better concert than yesterday. Men. However. Yesterday was the audience for damned good, so you have a stiff job ahead of you.
I do not think Mr. Martin needs to be worried. Fans are pepper, bitch.

Coldplay fixes steak
GLOBEN. “Fix you” right now. Majestic, maffig - and magnificent.My stops in the song Chris Martin up and burst out:– Coldplay and the quire of Stockholm! It is English for “oj wiggle singing again!”

Synthpop in the arena

http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/gallery/data/1529/coldscenpng.png

GLOBEN. Now is the little fun party in concert again. That is when the band steps out on a mini stage and make new wave of “God put a smile upon your face” and “Talk”, with synthdrums and everything.
“Everybody cool so far?”, Wonder Chris (he is the blurry, next to the other blurry). And he also speaks English: “Everything good?”.

Communication from the Globe to the Metal-Martin
Martin Carlsson was one of the few writers who responded to the sound of Metallica new flat “Death magnetic” in the reviews. One can say that we had a discussion about that, me and Martin. But he had a point or two. The other day, the plate mixkille went out and said that the album was shit (I received e-mails from Martin two seconds later). And now the world press about the sound, including The Guardian.
Why did I write this?
Coldplay have just played “Lost” and “Viva la vida”, and I have been struck by how sick it sounds good tonight.

Extranummer in the Globe
GLOBEN. It is cool when the band runs up on the rear gallery and run an acoustic set. Cool that they dare to run out by the audience.
And house remix of “Viva la vida” which is played when they cut away (in the corridors, at the time) before extranumren is cool, too.
Even extranumren follow in the footsteps yesterday. “Politik” is the first out.

Confetti - Laser 1-0

http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/gallery/data/1529/konf.jpg

GLOBEN. Coldplay has a sick-looking lightshow with laser and stuff with him on this tour.
But in the end, it is still an honest usual old confetti that is the coolest effect, during the magnificent “Lovers in Japan”:
Soon after this song went Eva and Efva home. Maybe they got enough. Maybe they thought that it will be better still.

ROFL

Fans are pepper, bitch.

[crazyduckette]

If they are practising Amsterdam, then I'll be very happy.
Let me guess where they might play it, Holland maybe?

They need to stop playing just snippets of stuff!!!! Give us the whole thing!!!!!!

[Starlight Chaser]

I think he was supposed to play the whole song, but he said something like "you should rehearse before playing in Stockholm," and "we haven't done this in three years" and then continued with the next song as he realized that he couldn't do it properly.

This was before The Hardest Part I might add. I really hope they - or perhaps he - decides to rehearse it a little and play it again soon. :)

[crazyduckette]

Ah.....well... we can hope!!! :nice: thanks for that info!

[Mimixxx]

Amsterdam! Argh! I do wish he'd stop teasing us with the intros to amazing older songs. Damn him :stunned:

Yeah, it was an awesome concert indeed, better than the one three years ago I think. The only thing that bugs me is that he started Amsterdam and sang the first verse, but stopped because they "hadn't played the song in three years" (köpenhamn 2005?). He also stated that "you should rehearse before comming to stockholm". He looked really embarrased actually! =)

[Mimixxx]

Thanks for the setlist :D

[Strawberry Swinger]

so basically it's always just a part before / after hardest part...

wish we'd get amsterdam in its entity , it's an awesome song.

and some more...well they should really think of expanding the setlist...

[Lore]

amsterdam :dance:

[CRYSTAL]

amsterdam is such a great song Chris wrote!

my husband likes the soft music of the piano in it!

[CRYSTAL]

so strawberry swinger i think they're playing all of our favorite songs right?

[BostonSportsTD]

holy shit.

holy SHIT.

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

IF THEY START PLAYING AMSTERDAM I WILL LITERALLY DIE!!!! even though they didnt play the whole song THAT IS THE BEST NEWS I HAVE HEARD IN SO LONG.

[BostonSportsTD]

the thing is i seriously dont understand AT ALL why they dont REGULARLY play amsterdam. i mean maybe it never made it to the radio (which is a good thing) but it's without out a doubt one of or THE BIGGEST fan favorites! it might not be known by some nub coldplay fans who just hear them on the radio but out of the REAL coldplay fans who actually know all of their songs i'd say its defiantely in the top 5 favorites. ive always wandered why they seem to cater more to their mainstream audiences at concerts rather than the true fans who would absolutely DIE for a song like amsterdam or see you soon or warning sign and i could go on for ever about this but i'm gunna stop.

so please coldplay... just fucking play amsterdam.

[Lore]

I agree


that's one of their most beautiful songs!

[CPRani]

Maybe they start in Oslo to play it, if they do, I will.. Well I have no idea what I am going to do, probably die!

We've usually had quite a few by the next morning during this leg of the tour though. There were a few decent ones yesterday morning. I guess these guys had such a good time that they tired themselves out, went straight to bed and are having a lie in :P :idea2:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo86qEuSWw0That's not from 18/9
Before yesturday's The Scientist Chris said: "This is a great song that was written by Metallica, they never used it, so we use it instead" ;)

[coldjo]

Sadly, Amsterdam was played partially :cry:

And the setlist was the same as yesterday... I think it's a pity that double concerts in the same city are the same...

[crazyduckette]

Totally!!!

Coldplay should take notice of Radiohead when they played Victoria Park two days in a row...and COMPLETELY mixed up the setlist. Coldplay should be more varying, especially if people bought tickets to both :cry:

[Chavi]

I think it's a pity that double concerts in the same city are the same...

:bigcry: I know !!! It really should change.... Not complaining, just a suggestion ! :uhoh:

[Open, Politik]

Totally!!!

Coldplay should take notice of Radiohead when they played Victoria Park two days in a row...and COMPLETELY mixed up the setlist. Coldplay should be more varying, especially if people bought tickets to both :cry:

I think Coldplay just wanna please every fan and are scared for someone in the audience to go home and complain, they didnt play this song they didnt play this!

[Strawberry Swinger]

for that reason, they'd better not see me complaining about square one on my way back!!!

[crazyduckette]

Well... like someone else said somewhere, it seems to me they're just catering for the fans who have hummed along to the itunes advert while watching telly, or sung along to Fix You.

Down with that I say!!!!!! :angry:

They need to play more stuff from AROBTTH. :angry: pleeeease Coldplay? :heart:

[Open, Politik]

^ I agree and dont forget Parachutes!!!!!!:nice:

[Open, Politik]

I would also love them if they change the setup of songs aswell, just Imagine Clocks as the Opener or something like that, if they dont wanna change so much stuff. Its kinda boring
LIT
Violet Hill
Clocks
In My Place always in the same order.:(

[crazyduckette]

and don't forget your signature.... my favourite song! :nice:

[Chavi]

and Crests of waves !!! is that too much asking ? :uhoh: :P

Magnifikt Coldplay!

En kvæll 2003 på Roskildefestivalen upplevde jag något magiskt. Coldplay stod på Orangea scenen och levererade en fantastisk konsert. Æn idag ger det, vid bara minnet, mig gåshud. Igår var det dags igen. Jag skulle æn en gång få uppleva det storslagna med bandet Coldplay.

Konserten blev snabbt utsåld och en extrakonsert sattes in. Den førsta konserten var i onsdags och det tænkte jag, detta kan vara dåligt. Køra i samma lokal, i samma land, två dagar i rad. Kommer dom kanske vara lite trøtta? Spara på krutet? Det visade sig att det blev NEJ på båda av mina farhågor!

Coldplay med Chris Martin i spetsen gav oss storslagen rock med alla attribut som tillhør ett band i deras storlek. Bara det faktum att Globen var slutsåld sæger en del om hur stora coldplay ær. Det var mærktes att det nyligen varit skivslæpp før många av låtarna i repetoaren var från Viva la vida. Men æven en del gamla godingar smøg sig in från tidigare skivor.

Men det ær først nær låten Fix you drar igång som publiken verkligen verkar førstå vad det handlar om. 14000 personer står upp, sjunger, skriker och bara totalt hænførs av en av de bæsta Coldplay låtarna. Nær gitarrerna går igång står jag rakt upp och ner, ryser till och sedan børjar tårarna rulla. Det ær magiskt, vackert och storslaget.

Sen gør coldplay något ovæntat. Dom førflyttar sig ut på en av ramperna och sætter igång med ett ganska mærkligt spel. Med elektroniska trummor och ett blinkande golv bakar dom ihop låtarna God put a smile uppon your face och talk. Ovæntat från Coldplay men samtidigt blir jag imponerad eftersom jag gillar att dom inte gør som jag kanske hade førvæntat mig.

Men det mest magiska av allt var nær "viva la vida" børjar spelas. En hel glob står och ylar som om det vore fotbollsmatch man var på. Det ær dessutom den slingan som efter det skulle ylas många gånger efter den låten.

Rent scenmæssigt har Coldplay slagit på alla publikfrierier som man bara kan tænka sig. Det sænks ner stora bollar från taket som sedan belyses. Det kørs en lasershow på motsatt sida av scenen. Chris pratar svenska, beundrar publikens sånginsatser, frågar många gånger om hur vi mår. Dom går ut och stæller sig i publiken och kør två låtar aukustiskt, The scientist och Death will never conquer. Den senare får trummisen æran att sjunga medans Chris Martin spelar munspel. Detta ær ju hæftigt men det bæsta kommer bland det sista. Ett fantastiskt vackert konfettiregn. Under låten Lovers in Japan sprutas det ut en mængd konfettifjærilar som sedan i ultraviolett ljus lyser otroligt vackert. Jag vill sæga att jag i stort sett hade kunnat betala bara før att se det konfettiregnet igen. Men bara næstan!

Nær coldplay spelar sista numret Yellow står jag med ett leende på læpparna och længtar redan efter næsta konsert! Så många kænslor som gick igenom min kropp den kvællen ær det bara positivt!

Magnificent Coldplay!

A kvæll 2003 at the Roskilde Festival I experienced something magical. Coldplay was on the Orange stage and delivered a fantastic concert. AEN today gives it, at only memory, me goose bumps. Yesterday, it was time again. I would AEN once to experience the great with the band Coldplay.

The concert was quickly sold out and an extra concert was deployed. The first concert was on Wednesday and the tænkte me, this can be bad. Running in the same room, in the same country, two days in a row. Will they might be a little tired? Save the effort? It turned out that there was NO on both of my concerns!

Coldplay with Chris Martin the lead gave us a big rock with all the attributes that belong to a band of their size. Just the fact that the Globe was sold out sæger part on how much cold play Aer. It was mærke to the recently been skivslæpp for many of the songs in repetoaren was from Viva la far. But æven some Golden oldies smog themselves from the previous discs.

But the Aer først nær song Fix you come up as the audience really seems to understand what it is about. 14,000 people standing up, singing, screaming and just total hænførs of one of the bæsta Coldplay songs. Nær guitars are running, I am straight up and down, to shudder and then the tears start to roll. The Aer magical, beautiful and great.

Then improves their cold play any ovæntat. They move out on one of the ramps and sætter started with a rather mærke games. With electronic drums and a flashing floor bake them together songs God put a smile uppon your face and talk. Ovæntat from Coldplay, but I will be impressed because I like the fact that they do not do that maybe I had førvæntat me.

But the most magical of all was nær "viva la far" play. " An entire globe stands and ylar as if it were football match it was on. The Aer addition, the wire after which it would ylas many times after that song.

Rent scenmæssigt have Coldplay turned on all the audience frierier as one could tænka itself. It sænks down-sized balls from the ceiling, which was then lighted. It runs a laser show on the opposite side of the stage. Chris speaks Swedish, admiring audience singing efforts, asking many times about how we feel. They go out and stæller in the audience and runs two songs aukustiskt, The scientist and Death will never Conquer. The latter may drummer æran to sing while Chris Martin plays harmonica. This is Aer hæftigt but it bæsta among the last. A fantastic beautiful confetti rain. During the song Lovers in Japan injected it a mængde konfettifjærilar then UV lights incredibly beautiful. I want sæga that I had in general been able to pay just to see the confetti rain again. But just næstan!

Nær cold play play Yellowhammer last edition, I am with a smile on læpparna and Length already after næsta concert! So many kænslor that went through my body the kvællen Aer the only positive!

Dubbel extas med Coldplay

De försöker i alla fall variera sig. Inte mycket, men ändå:
Halvvägs in i konserten sätter sig Chris Martin ensam bakom pianot och ger sig på en av bandets tidigaste låtar.
Han sjunger en rad, men glömmer bort texten. Han sjunger två till - och kommer av sig. Sedan avbryter han sig själv med ett garv:
- Låt det bli en läxa det där; Repa alltid innan du kommer till Stockholm.
Det blir "The hardest part" i stället. Precis som i onsdags.
Men det vore synd att klaga. Ingen kommer till Coldplays andra konsert med förhoppningar om att de plötsligt blivit Bruce Springsteen; att de kan byta ut tio låtar efter humör och vara jukebox för publikens önskningar.
Kväll två med Coldplay är ett karbonpapper på kväll ett.
Inledningen bjuder på en rad visuella små mästerverk, men bandet svajar till ibland. Sen kommer lyftet, och konserten når en första kulmen i den majestätiska "Fix you" - där allsången nästan dränker ljudet från bandet, Beatles-style.
Och efter den lilla new wave-picknicken på en liten scen ute i det sångsugna publikhavet blir det dubbel extas under mäktiga "Viva la vida" och maffiga "Lost!".
Avslutningen är uppvisning. Coldplays utflykt upp på läktarna är förvisso mer rolig än bra, men extranumren är fantastiska. "Politik" väger tyngre än bly. "Lovers in Japan", med enormt konfettiregn, är en ny gigant och avslutande "Yellow" överträffar onsdagsversion med 187 procent.
Jag är imponerad, igen.

Här är låtarna dag 2:

Life in technicolor
Violet hill
Clocks
In my place
Speed of sound
Cemeteries of London
Chinese sleep chant
42
Fix you
Strawberry swing
God put a smile upon your face
Talk
Trouble
The hardest part
Postcards from far away
Viva la vida
Lost!
The scientist
Death will never conquer

Extranummer:
Politik
Lovers in Japan
Reign of love
Death and all his friends

Extra extranummer:
Yellow

---------

Double ecstatic with Coldplay

They are trying in all cases vary itself. Not much, but still:
Halfway into the concert itself Chris Martin alone behind the piano and goes on one of the band's early songs.
He sings a number, but forget the text. He sings two to - and will by itself. Then he interrupts himself to a tanning:
- Let it be a lesson there; Repo always before you get to Stockholm.
It is "The Hardest Part" instead. Just as in Wednesday.
But it would be a shame to complain. No one comes to Cold Plays second concert with the hope that they suddenly become Bruce Springsteen; that they can replace ten songs by mood and jukebox for the public's wishes.
Evening two with Coldplay is a carbon paper in the evening one.
The Introduction offers a series of small visual masterpiece, but the band svajar to sometimes. Then the lifting, and the concert reached a first climax in the majestic "Fix you" - ie where ngen nearly drowning the sound of the band, Beatles-style.
And after that little new wave picnic on a little scene out there in the audience singing sugna sea, it will be double ecstasy during the mighty "Viva la far" and MAFF "Lost!".
The closure is a showcase. Cold Plays outing up in the stands is certainly more fun than good, but the extra numbers are superb. "Politics" weighs heavier than lead. "Lovers in Japan", with enormous confetti rain, is a new giant and final "Yellow" surpassing Wednesday's version by 187 percent.
I am impressed, again.

Here are the songs on day 2:

Life in technicolor
Violet hill
Clocks
In my place
Speed of sound
Cemeteries of London
Chinese sleep chant
42
Fix you
Strawberry swing
God put a smile upon your face
Talk
Trouble
The hardest part
Postcards from far away
Viva la vida
Lost!
The scientist
Death will never conquer

Encore:
Politik
Lovers in Japan
Reign of love
Death and all his friends

Second Encore:
Yellow

[roche714]

I think they have a hard time changing the setlist.

In that interview in Aug with Jonny he sounde like it would be a problem to change....


So will you continue to tinker with the set?
I think once you find a nice structure you kind of stick to it for a while, until you get bored of it. But then you change around small things within that, while keeping the main structure the same. We sort of build it around various songs, then within that we can change it up a bit. But sometimes even just changing a couple of songs could ruin it.


If one of the band said, "Let's play Shiver tonight", would you be able to? Would you have to rehearse it?
Well we're not the best rehearsers of songs, to be honest. We prefer not to bother! Especially old songs, you get a bit bored of rehearsing them. But it's fun to try things out in front of 15,000 people. We played Don't Panic the other night. They're the simplest lyrics in the world, but I still managed to get them wrong! It was funny.

Oh my god, what a gig. Amazing. Even better then the concert on the 17th.
Me and my friends had scremed our throaths sore for Amsterdam both nights so I couldn't believe my ears when Chris started playing it. My heart skipped several beats I think.
I didn't know what to do. But when he stopped and started to play the hardest part instead I couldn't help but to feel disappointed. It just felt like a big tease, knowing I was so close to hearing the full version. Apart from that, wonderful concert. Especially Politik. <3

(smileys doesn't seem to work for me, weird.)

And btw, the singing voice in the background on Amsterdam sounds an awful lot like me... :S :P

Coldplay Stockholm 18 September

September 21, 2008

Oh mY gOoOd

Coldplay live in Globen Arena, Stockholm (Sweden). It was the most intense concert i have ever been too! It was just amazing through out the entire show. I have seen a lot of bands play live so i have concert experience. I think this was better than THE ROLLING STONES! And The Stones had a really impressive gig at Ullevi, Gothenburg.

I have always loved Colplay but i would never in a million years think that they would be so good. Chris Martin is God of the stages.

The crowd was absolutely crrrrrrazy! It was like The Beatles were on, the screaming never stoped! Fortunately, i was in the front row in the middle, so i was standing right in front of the amplifiers and i managed to actually hear Chris Martins voice through the vocal chaos caused by the fans.

During “Fix You” the entire arena was weaping and there was no recovering. They all kept on weaping through out the concert, even while they were playing songs like “Viva La Vida” and “Lovers In Japan”. Speaking of “Lovers In Japan”, that was a pleasant suprise. In the middle of the song, paper butterflies fall down from the cealing. And it was a lot of those paper butterflies! It was a huge clowd of colours. Then the lights went down and a new clowd of paper butterflies appears but these glow neon green and orange. It really was incredible and it was like colourful and fast version of Autumn.

Coldplay can not be missed live. I will never miss a show that is in nothern europe area! This was too good. Even if you dont like Coldpay that much, SEE THEM! It’s worth it.

I didn't know what to do. But when he stopped and started to play the hardest part instead I couldn't help but to feel disappointed. It just felt like a big tease, knowing I was so close to hearing the full version.

At least you've listened to a snippet of Amsterdam. :nice: I would have done everything to see Chris playing this song in Hamburg or Berlin.
