[Chavi]

Woooohooooo !!!!! :dance:
just bought my tickets !! i'll be there :dance:

[OtroPX]

I just bought my tix, 3rd row!! I'll be there, I can't believe that it was so easy to get tickets!! :D

[jems]

3e rang ? assis tu veux dire ?
moi j'ai pris mes places dans la fosse :)

[tibujoli]

Moi j'ai des places sur le gradin latéral "impair" tres bien placées, je suis content. Par contre pour la fosse prépare toi a attendre si tu veux une place proche de la scène ! (Au fait on peut parler français dans ce topic, puisque le concert est français, non ?).

[Chavi]

oui on peut parler français.. pourquoi pas :P
je suis dans la fosse aussi et je suis prête à attendre quelques heures !
Et je m'excuse à l'avance si je fais mal à qqun d'ici en voulant pacer devant tout le monde ! :lol:

[jems]

lol chavi !
t'auras du mal à me bousculer, vu que je serais déjà au premier rang héhé :)
c'est l'avantage d'être étudiant, je pourrais être là des heures avant :)

[Chavi]

si t'es devant Guy, attend toi à te prendre une patate :D

non je suis pas une groupie :dozey:

[jems]

mwahaha meme pas peur, j'aurais mon casque sur la tete et ma batte anti-groupie à la main :)

[Chavi]

Grrr ! ca veut dire que tu comptes vraiment te mettre entre moi et Guy :veryangry2:

[jems]

Hmm bon ok jte ferais une ptite place à coté de moi, mais à condition que tu cries pas comme une hystérique quand ils arrivent sur scène ! :-p

[Chavi]

hmm.. je peux pas te le promettre ça ! :P

question : si on est tout devant tu crois qu'on pourra quand même prendre des photos ? et si possible filmer.. ?

[jems]

Comment ça, tu parles au niveau des vigiles ?

[Chavi]

oui.. c'est chaud, non ?

[jems]

Euh non, jme rappelle qu'en 2005 y'avait eu aucun souci. Même pour tous les autres concerts que j'ai fait à la Halle, y'a jamais eu de problème. Faut juste réussir à faire passer l'appareil photo à l'entrée et après c'est trankilou ;)

[Chavi]

d'accord, merci! ca gère. C'est juste que jai une amie qui a été à un concert et on lui a pris son appareil parce qu'elle était tout devant.. Mais c'est cool alors!

[jems]

Beuh jveux pas te dire de conneries, mais moi jme rappelle qu'au concert des redhot par exemple, j'étais tout devant, dans la pré-fosse, et j'ai pris des photos tout le long, les vigiles en avaient rien à cirer.

Mais après ça dépend peut-être des groupes, chépa :(

[Chavi]

c'était Ben Harper je crois.. alors je sais pas. J'espère que non!

[jems]

Roh le Ben, jle croyais plus peace que ça :(

[Chavi]

faut croire que non.. :rolleyes:

tu y vas avec des amis au concert ?

[jems]

Oui, avec un copain et une copine.
Et toi ?

[Chavi]

je vais à celui de Lyon avec ma soeur.

[jems]

ah tu les fais les autres aussi ?

[Chavi]

ouiiiiiiiiiiii :) je serais à Strasbourg toute seule mais on se fait coldplaying meet up..
et à Paris je serai avec deux de mes cousines et un de leurs copains. et surement un autre coldplaying meetup !

[jems]

Roh la chance :(
J'aurais bien fait celui de Paris aussi, mais avec les 3 festivals de cet été que jvais fair, yé né plou dé sous du tout :(

[Chavi]

si ils reviennent l'année prochaine, tu les reverra peut etre. Tu as essayé de rentrer dans le concours de NRJ et W9 pour le concert privé à Paris, la semaine prochaine ?

[jems]

Ouais, j'ai répondu sur leurs sites mais bon, jme fais pas trop d'illusions...
Quoique, me faire l'aller retour sur Paris dans la même journée au volant de ma Micra verte pomme qui monte jusqu'a 90 km/h maxi, ca serait assez sympa lol :p

[Chavi]

Lol ! toi au moins t'as le permis, moi je dois faire tous mes déplacements en train.. ca me coûte bonbon à force :dozey:
et je me fais pas trop de films non plus.. en plus je travaille donc je sais même pas si je pourrais y aller !

[jems]

T'habites où, Paris ?

[Chavi]

non encore heureuse :P
j'habite Tours. et toi Lyon, je suppose ?!

[jems]

Ah oui effectivement, Tours - Lyon en train, bon courage ma vieille :p
Moi c'est sur que je bosse le 19 juin, mais jmen tape, si je gagne, je démissionne ! :D

[Chavi]

ils me coûtent trop cher pfff.. c'est à se demander si ils le méritent !

:laugh3: j'ai refusé de travailler hier car je voulais réserver mes billets à temps.. je peux pas faire ça à chaque fois ..

[jems]

Ouais, moi jme suis levé à 10h (soit 4h plus tôt que ma moyenne habituelle en ce moment....oui je sais, j'ai un rythme de vie très élevé :D ) pour être sur d'avoir des places et au final y'en a encore aujourd'hui, pff...
Et tu connais Lyon du coup ?

[Chavi]

oh la marmotte.. :lol: (je fais genre la fille qui est pas du tout pareil...)
c'est clair, j'ai trop stressé pour rien.. y'a encore trop de place :dozey:
Non pas du tout....... c'est l'inconnu total pour moi !

[jems]

lol, ben t'attends pas à monts et merveilles hein...
et la salle en elle-même sinon est assez spéciale : pas très large, mais super longue, du coup tu peux très vite être relégué très loin de la scène !
mais par contre on s'y sent quand même bien, jme rappelle de chris qui avait dit plusieurs fois pendant le concert qu'ils reviendraient parce qu'ils s'y sentaient bien !
puis t'as deux grandes rampes en hauteur sur les cotés, ce dingue de chris les avait parcouru en courant sur fix you pour aller serrer la main des spectateurs assis tout au fond au fond de la salle et les remercier, c'était vraiment sympa ! :D

[Chavi]

oooh il est trop bien ce Chris :nice:
de toute façon, pas de risque que je me retrouve derrière ! tu me verra bien devant toi :D
tu les as déjà vu plusieurs fois en concert ?

[jems]

ben juste cette fois-ci, et donc dans 3 mois :)
et toi ?

[Chavi]

tu viens de te réveiller ? :rolleyes: :P

Non jamais.. je suis une Coldplay show virgin ! :embarassed:

[jems]

Roh moqueuse va, je suis réveillé depuis au moins euh...... une bonne heure ! :p
Et toi alors ? Tu travailles dur à ce que je vois !

[Chavi]

:lol: record !

Je travaille pas aujourd'hui.. :rolleyes: j'ai refusé une mission.. la boite d'intérim ne va plus jamais me proposer de travail si ca continue !

[jems]

lol tu bosses dans quoi ?
à part ça, jsuis pas sur, mais je crois bien qu'on squatte ce topic à nous deux :p

[Chavi]

je suis étudiante à la base.. mais je suis en intérim pour l'été alors je fais ce qu'on me proposer.. sauf quand je refuse :P

et alors.. on est pas beaucoup à aller à Lyon jai limpression. en tout cas personne poste :lol:

[jems]

ptin c'est le bon plan ça, tu bosses que quand t'en as envie, et tu fais la grasse mat quand tu veux...

moi jsuis à temps plein en caisse à auchan (oui je sais, un métier de rêve !), et là y'a pas moyen de les envoyer chier si une grosse flemme me prend un matin... :(

[Chavi]

c'est de l'intérim.. c'est pas éternel non plus.
t'as pas l'air à temps plein en ce moment :P
Je bosse dans une imprimerie là, mais je vais surement aller en caisse à Champion bientôt. C'est plus pratique et plus près de chez moi.

[jems]

ouais je commence à temps plein en juillet, encore heureux hein....
et la caisse franchement jte conseille pas, sauf si tu veux te faire draguer à cours de journée par des vieux pervers :(

[Chavi]

ah d'accord..
On m'a dit tellement de mal des caisses.. que je m'attend vraiment au pire. Mais heureusement, c'est dans une petite ville donc ya pas beaucoup de vieux pervers qui viendront m'embêter. j'espère..

[jems]

lol moi jsuis dans une ptite ville aussi, ca m'empêche pas de me faire draguer par des mamies qui me demandent de "manipuler leurs melons avec plus de précaution" :(

[Chavi]

:uhoh: euh je sais pas si je dois rire ou être choquée .. ok je vais faire les deux : :laugh3: et :o

[jems]

mdr ouais moi aussi j'ai pas su quoi lui répondre !

bon en tout cas, je pense qu'on a du te le dire 500 fois sur ce site, mais coldplay en live...... :heart:
je m'attendais pas à grand chose mais au final, ça a été un de mes meilleurs concerts :heart: l'ambiance :heart: la communion :heart: et encore, c'était en plein hiver avec un temps déprimant, là à la fin de l'été :heart:

[Chavi]

Rolalaa, jai vraiment trop hâte :nice: ca me fait sourire rien que d'y penser !
Tellement de choses à raconter après ca, et de souvenirs !

au fait, je peux te demander ton prénom.. parce qu'on parle un peu depuis hier et je sais même pas cmt t'appeler.. :dozey:

[jems]

Jérémy :)
et toi ?

[Chavi]

Chavi c'est mon prénom ;)

[jems]

Sérieux ? lol
C'est de quelle origine ?
C'est mimi :)

[Chavi]

c'est le diminutif pour Chavivanna, et c'est asiatique :)

[OtroPX]

English people!! Last time I checked, Coldplay was singing and speaking in english :D
I went to the Hall last year and it was impossible to enter with cameras, they were security points at the entry checking the bags and coats.... but who knows?, maybe we are lucky, otherwise: time for use the cell phone!! :laugh3:

[Chavi]

oh man, are you serious ? :(
hopefully i'll manage to take my camera with me.. i dont want crappy cell phone quality pics and vids..

[jems]

meuh non t'en fais pas ! !
a titre d'exemple pour te rassurer, voila une photo que j'avais prise au concert des redhot en étant tout devant : http://www.pixenli.com/image1212783697079728800.html

[Chavi]

oui mais le monsieur en haut (ou madame :uhoh:) il a dit qu'ils fouillaient à l'entrée.. enfin bref, du moment que je les vois, le reste je devrais m'en foutre en peu !!!

edit : Héé t'étais tout près !!

[jems]

ben ouais, jtai dit, tu me passeras pas devant, jeune enfant :D

[Chavi]

qu'est ce qui te dit que je suis jeune :dozey:

[enjoycoldplay]

Plus que 3 nuits blanches à passer face à l'excitation dûe au concert !

Vous y allez vers quelle heure vous ?

[Chavi]

J'y serai vers 13h je pense .. enfin ca dépend de l'heure à laquelle on prend la route de Tours jusqu'à Lyon le matin..

:wacky: we're next... :nice:

[Carlaatje]

lucky biatch:lol:

[marie/pims]

That's my hometown...although I don't live there anymore.Aaaaaaalllll my friends are going and I thin my brothers as well....which frustrates me ;) wish I could see them again

Chavi just sent a text that she is already queueing, there are so many people that she will not be doing any stalking this afternoon, :stunned:
in order to keep in the line so as to be at the front inside :flutterby:

It's a good thing she planned to be there early :D

It is raining :(, and they are waiting for tonight, so at least her phone bill wont be too high :flutterby:

[jasmynebirch]

I like how they are finally *kind of* mixing it up! I would prefer Yes to Strwaberry String personally and Square One to Speed of Sound.

[coldjo]

I'm really jealous with this setlist...

Fix you, strawberry and talk...

[tibujoli]

I was at the concert, it was A MA ZING. Cemeteries: excellent!
Chris talked in french it was great.
The setlist from Europe seems to be very different of the other american (sorry for my english!)

[Christa42]

Yeah!! Strawberry Swing is back!! :rolleyes:

i think if I heard Chris speak in French i would just about loose all control of my body and fall to the floor. he could say, you are a dirty moth and it would still be sexy. Yikes!!

^Your english is fine, just gimme more info

[deborahbr]

No Don't Panic and Yes. Ahhhh :cry:

Live from the venue in Lyon

http://www.coldplay.com/graphics/news_line.png
10.28pm: And we're done. Amazing gig. Hope you enjoyed tagging along. See you next time...

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa228/soundcontent/butterflies.jpg

Anchorman

10.17pm: We made it just in time for the end of the B-stage bit, which is where the first pic is from. The other two are from Viva La Vida, which made 16,000 people go extremely tingly. It was quite a wrench to leave them all singing as we came back to post these. Roy Castle would be proud of us.

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa228/soundcontent/lb16.jpg

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa228/soundcontent/lb18.jpg

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa228/soundcontent/lb19.jpg
The key to live photography: take dozens and two or three might be half-decent

9.55pm: And here's one of Guy. Right, the B-stage section just started, we'll see if we can dash and take some pics of that.

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa228/soundcontent/lb15.jpg
9.46pm: Anchorman would never, not ever, claim to be a great live photographer. But these were taken during Fix You, which lifted the ceiling of the venue at least another few feet higher.

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa228/soundcontent/DSC_0024_3.jpg

In other news, there's a HUGE thunder storm going on outside the venue.

9.27pm: The chaps are on now, and the atmosphere is amazing in there. Here's a pic of them just before they went on, with tour manager Franksy...

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa228/soundcontent/lb14.jpg

8.58pm: Twelve minutes until stage time...

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa228/soundcontent/lb13.jpg

8.51pm: You'll never guess who we just ran into...

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa228/soundcontent/lb12.jpg

8.26pm: We just saw Prospekt (http://www.coldplay.com/post_listprospekt.php). He wrote you a note.

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa228/soundcontent/lb11.jpg

8.06pm: Here's a picture of Albert, doing his thing. He's getting a good reception from what's now a pretty packed venue. At least he was for the 60 seconds we watched before we whizzed back to post this picture.

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa228/soundcontent/lb10.jpg

7.51pm: Guy, checking his emails at the band's PAs' desks, outside the dressing room. We're off to watch a bit of Albert Hammond Jr.

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa228/soundcontent/lb9.jpg

7.14pm: We've just bumped into Will and Jonny in catering. They were mainly talking about the following two things:
- The new ISS Pro Evolution game for the PS3 ("Brilliant," says Will)
- Jonny's all-time Spurs XI (as he just did an interview on that subject for the official Tottenham magazine). For the record, Jonny decided to use Paul "Gazza" Gascoigne as a second striker, as he already had an embarrassment of riches in his midfield.

Oh, and we've finally realised that we've been doing this whole blog on English time. We've adjusted it to French time now.

6.55pm: There are people in the venue. And they're all sitting very calmly on the floor, chatting and listening to ambient music over the PA. It is, we'd have to say, a slightly surreal scene. And it's still over an hour until Albert Hammond Jr. Proper dedication.

6.48pm: Look who we just bumped into in the car park (the connection's gone slow again - it took 15 mins to upload this one picture. Sigh...)

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa228/soundcontent/lb6.jpg

6.11pm: It sped up. Thus, here is a short, amateurish silent film designed to give you an idea of the venue.

5.28pm: The band are trying out an old song in a new style. Sounded a bit like vintage New Order from where we were standing. We were going to upload a few pics, but the internet connection here is tres, tres slow, so let's start with one for now...

http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa228/soundcontent/lb4.jpg

4.45pm: We're in the venue and the band are just off to soundcheck. We'll report back from there soon. In the meantime, here are a few pictures.

[Chavi]

I had the most amazing time ! although I cant compare with Strasbourg, at least not yet, it's too fresh ! :nice:
BUT, honestly my spot was much better ! I was actually just in front of Chris because I managed to move a bit to the right during the opening act. And I could perfectly see the four of them :nice: :heart:

I was at the venue at 1pm and 50 people were already there.. and the line got bigger and bigger really fast. So I waited for like 5hours till they let us in.. actually we got closer after the gates and before the main doors open and we could hear the soundcheck as if we were inside :D

[fredo]

no no, you definitely got that wrong ! ;)
ho yes, I made a mistake, it was 10.45 approx

[Chavi]

Amazing! I'm a teeny bit jealous, but mostly happy for you :P :D

Looking at some of the pictures and also at a video on you tube the floor section seemed to be standing,is this right and if so how come when all the other shows are all seating.

[melanieau]

Looking at some of the pictures and also at a video on you tube the floor section seemed to be standing,is this right and if so how come when all the other shows are all seating.

In the US, shows are all seated...but some of these European shows have standing tickets

:)

[hooper68]

I was just hoping that they had scrapped the idea of all seater shows in Europe as it surely makes for a better atmosphere.

so, was the Lyon show better than the Strasbourg one ? really hard to tell. Lyon was definitely awesome. I had a blast, it was a freaking amazing night. But Strasbourg was my first time seeing Coldplay live, so I dont think anything will ever beat that. Plus my favorite song (Dont panic) was in the setlist and Col made its live debut that night. It was special ! Both were actually !

We arrived at the venue at 1pm, people were already waiting at the main doors. :stunned: Crazy! So no stalking for me this time. :disappointed: We went from the back so we could hear someone soundchecking, probably the crew. The doors were open wide so we could see the stage from the back but it was pretty dark..
In the line, waiting for 5hours I was dying. :dead: The rain didnt help. The worst was that I really needed to use the bathroom :lol: I was exhautsed (still am).. this week has been the most tiring ever. They opened the gates at 5:45pm but made us wait in front the main doors. That's why we could hear Coldplay doing soundcheck. We heard Viva la vida played a few times and another song I cant remember which one though, I was too stressed about getting front row because people were REALLY annoying in the line. And I dont know what old song the Anchorman was talking about, we didnt hear it, that's for sure. 6pm, they let us in. I raaaaaan as a proud Official Coldplaying runner (Lori my running buddy understands me :lol:) !!!!! Security guards were there to tell us not to run and walk calmly to the front... YEAH RIGHT FUCK YOU ! So there, second row between Jonny and Chris, which ended up to be more in front of Chris !
we all sat on the floor as the security guys told us to. That was cool because thanks to that it was easier for me to go to the bathroom and get my spot back. Albert Hammond Jr and his musicians were on stage to check their instruments and stuff. I thought they'd do soundcheck, but no, they quickly left. Around 7pm, someone had the brilliant idea to stand up, so everybody did the same.. haha it was insane !

8pm : opening act ! I really like him. I'll check his album. The crowd was better and more welcoming than on Monday's night. I could help but 'dance' all the time :lol: I even screamed his name !

8:35pm : Bye Albert ! Hello Coldplay's staff ! it was toooooo long !

9:15pm : FINALLY !! Woooooooowww ! it'd been three days, and wow I missed that feeling !
Lit : it gets me each time ! really exciting and what a tease to only be able see them through that curtain !
VH : "if you loooove me, won't you let me knoow !" :dance: really really good ! perfect song to begin with after LIT as an intro!
Clocks : CLASSIC ! the crowd went CRAZY as always ! never tired to hear it.. especially live :nice:
IMP : Chris was screaming 'lumière lumière' at the beginning ! Jonny rocked :dance: the 'yeah's' were awesome ! the crowd was awesome ! the song was awesome ! Coldplay's awesome !! Jonny didnt go on Guy's catwalk this time which was a good thing for me so I had a better view :nice: and of course some ramp of love action :heart: and when Chris said :'Mesdames et messieurs dire salut à (something) Jonny Buckland' awww !
Sos : always as nice as the first time I heard it :nice: although I'd love to hear Square one !
Col : Chris apologised for his French again in this cute little accent and introduced the song : 'Je suis désolé mais en fait nous sommes très heureux d'être avec vous en Lyon ce soir. Maintenant une chanson que je pense en français est quelque chose like les maisons des morts en Londres'. Guy was great playing the piano ! and the song is just fantastic ! 'singing lalalalalalalay' :dance:
Csc : I just love it when Guy, Chris and Jonny play close together :D which they did a lot last night. It feels so much better and intense ! they're the perfect band getting along so well on stage ! it's just amazing to see !
42 : still dont have a proper memory of that song.. dont know why.. I like it though and seem to have pretty much enjoyed it according to the video I made :lol:. I guess it doesnt click when played live.
Fix you : It was good to hear it live ! really great moment for me, the crowd and the band ! Chris let us sing and was impressed I guess. He told us 'oh quelle voix, quelle voix' :nice:
Strawberry swing : immediatly thought of you guys SS lovers :nice: So happy it came back !
God put a smile : really cool version ! b-stage this time, so I could only see their back.. hmmm not complaining actually :lol:
Talk : oooh I was so happy it wasnt the acoustic version. The remix was pretty cool with Chris doing his thing on the piano BUT I still wouldve prefered the real version !
THP : good but I think I'm not such a fan of acoustic songs.. Chris did this thing on the piano before THP, dont know what it is, I think he was just messing around (you'll see my vid) and speak more French : 'oui donc une chanson vieille, je sais pas je sais pas.. mon français est absolument merde je sais! j'essaie (ou je suis.. dont make that much sense..) très très vieux, c'est ça qu'est important. You understand ? I dont understand what the fuck I'm talking about!' :lol:
Viva la vida : OMG ! it was.. NO WORD ! Will started with the oohing part and the crowd followed. it felt absolutely amazing ! and then Chris came back on the main stage and started the song ! :dance: Viva la Coldplay !
Lost! : same as 42.. I liked it ! but not a favorite. Chris is a silly dancer :lol:
The scientist : I couldnt see the band at all, only on the magic balls and the big screens at each side of the venue. That was sweet !
Death will never conquer : Will is love ! there's nothing else to add :heart:
Viva la vida remix : never heard it before. Never listened to any remixes actually ! The audience couldnt help but sing along ! OF COURSE !
Politik : Weeeeee ! Intense, Great, Amazing, Favorite, cant get tired of it never ever ! couldnt stop jumping, screaming, singing, dancing ! :D
Lovers in Japan : Looooved it ! The butterflies are still really impressive :nice: almost at the end of the show and Chris still has so much to give. He belongs to the stage ! he knows how to feed the crowd !
Daahf: Chris spoke some more French again : 'C'est peut être notre dernière chanson. Je suis désolé. J'ai un leçon français à minuit.' and then thanked us :nice: and the French crew. he added that Bash agreed about the fact that the crew was great and then Will and Jonny started to laugh. It was cute to see ! Probably an inside joke, I'd love to know :lol: Great song obviously ! I kept staring at Jonny .. oh woow, that was intense. He had his eyes closed the whole time and hmmm that face :wacky: haha that's for the Jonny lovers :P
they said bye, bowed, laughed and went off. I couldnt wait for the encore :dance: crossing my fingers for Dont panic. So they came back and Chris read my banner !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SQUEEEEEE :dance: AWWWW that face when he read it !! :nice: I was ready to record but got distracted, I was too excited that he was reading it and had to tell the girls complaining behind me to fuck off ! But thank God my sister tool THAT PIC ! I'm so thankful she was there, she took some pretty awesome pics :nice:
Yellow : Didnt expect yellow as an encore, but I was so greatly surprised ! it was perfect ! Guy, Jonny and Chris played close to each other again. So good !! they were always smiling and laughing ! Oh how I wish I could hear what they were saying to each other !
The Dubliners : That song rocks :dance: country style, I love it ! I'm hoping for a studio version or something ! and they left.. it went to fast.. :bigcry: Guy came in front of us to take a pic and got on his knees :nice: and then left.. :bigcry:

again, impossible to get a setlist or anything.. arghhhh ! I took tons of confettis and bought the tour programme :dance: some guy was selling unoficial posters for 1€ so I bought one. :nice: We waited but the band was gone... It was a GOOOOOOOOOOOD night ! can't wait for the next (last) one :bigcry:
sorry, I dont know how to make negative/critical short reviews ! It's just impossible ! :D

anyone knows a really fast way to reduce the size of a vid ?
