I've just noticed it. I assume they've just put it on line because at midday there was no other concert.

[Chavi]

:shocked2: Oh my !!!!!! what to do ... ?? Shall I or not ??

[FixYougirl]

So, you're going to Strasbourg concert and Paris-Bercy, right ?

[Chavi]

and Lyon aswell.. :)
but I'm undecided about that one (10th sept) :\

[FixYougirl]

I think 10th is a mistake. Websites must have problems about seats that are available and the would-be new date. For me, the concert is nearly sold out unless people agree to have a bad seat on the side of the stage.:angry:

[TheLizzy]

Tickets on sale today! I've got mine :D :D

Hi there.

Can any french fans help.

Me and a friend have tickets to see Coldplay in Manchester in December, but are considering going to the above show.... just because it'll be different to see them in another country!!!

A few things i'd like to know.

1) Is livenation.fr the only place i can get tickets?
2) Are they doing standing tickets in Paris (unlike the UK gigs)
3) How easy will it be to get from the eurostar station in paris to the arena?
4) Can anyone recommend any hotels near to the arena? It will only be an overnight stay, so the cheaper the better!!

If anyone can help at all, i would really appreciate it!

[Khalplay]

Hello

1) Noone buy tickets via livenation.fr cause that site is just a link to the official Bercy store which is actually ticketnet.fr (currently down today, but usually it works perfectly).
So you could find tickets on ticketnet.fr or fnac.com, which are sites you can totally trust.
The thing is, it's now sold out ! The only tickets those sites are now selling are seated tickets BEHIND the stage, so quite uncomfortable ones where you won't see a thing.
Your only chance is now ebay OR to find someone who's selling tickets.
2) Yes they are, those tickets are the ''cat 4'' ones.
3) Very easy, the Eurostar arrives at the ''Paris Nord'' station, then you can be at the arena in like 15 min or less using the ''RER B'' or ''RER D'' line (very fast) and then the ''line 14'' which is very fast too !
4) Can't help you about that but I can try to look for information...

(I may have 2 spare standing tickets for the 9th of September if you're not finding anything, you can still pm me ;))

[aakashnaik]

hey everyone, its with a heavy heart that i have decided to sell my tickets.
I have two standing tickets. they have already been sent to me so i will send it out to whoever buys them immediately.

i am selling for face value, i believe i paid £83. I will send an authorisation with my id to accompany tickets if required. if you have any questions just PM me on here or send me an email at aakash.naik@gmail.com

[crazyduckette]

How come you're selling Kash?
or pm me if you'd rather not say!

[aakashnaik]

How come you're selling Kash?
or pm me if you'd rather not say!

I bought the tickets right after I missed out on the UK dates, But after Brixton and BBC my mood has slowly changed, I loved those gigs so much, it really was a special week and now I can't justify spending loads on travel and accommodation too see them again this 'summer'. I still really wanna go, but my bro persuaded me not to:confused:

plus I'll prob be more inclined to buy a spare for the 02 in December and they'll almost certainly be playing a few festivals next year!

there is still a voice in my head telling me its Paris! its standing! and its at the bercy! which is a cool venue, aaaaaaaggggghhh

Kash, if you can give me two days to get this sorted I might be able to swap two tickets for the O2 in December for your two tickets.

The priceless part of the deal for you would be, these two tickets include a free raving-mad-dancing-singing-at-the-top-of-his-voice Pedro stood right next to you!! :laugh3: And if you don't need two, maybe Kara can have the other and sell her ticket alone, and it'll be BBC and Brixton (and IOW!) part two...??

If this appeals, I'll need a day or two to try and sort this out, as i say...

[Tonsu]

Going to need possibly much more time on this Kash, so sell if someone's interested, and I'll sort something else out if I need to swap.

[FixYougirl]

He can sell them on Ebay.fr because there are people that have sold tickets on there. As for me i've sold 3 tickets. If he wants i can write the ad for him if he doesn't speak French. He can put them online for 4 days, it's suffisant with a 60 € bid to start. The bids will go up, i'm sure. I can help you if you want to do it.

[Chavi]

^ why would you sell your tickets for more than the original value ?! :confused:

and oooh, i'm so tempted to buy your tickets for the 10th.. but nooo, I MUST RESIST ! :bigcry:

[aakashnaik]

I've sent you an email Legal Princess. I'm selling it on ebay uk at the moment, would probably have more luck on ebay fr!

Chavi, if you want my tickets i would sell them at face value. the only reason i am selling them is the company i bought it from refuse refunds. I only want to make my money back to be honest.

[Khalplay]

Kash, did you sell your tickets ?
If not could you tell me how much you would like for them ?
(except if Chavi wants them :D)

[Chavi]

^ no, I dont :bigcry: I said I MUST RESIST !
sorry Kash but I wont buy them, for money reasons also.. it'd be iresponsible from me :bigcry:
PLUS, I deliberately took a very important appointment on the 11th in the very early morning so I cant be tempted..

[keiten]

Hello all, my name is Alex, I'm from Kiev, Ukraine.
I'm trying to find a ticket to Bercy on 10th of September... It's too difficult.
I found appropriate price at http://www.divento.com Ticket for zone 4 costs 46 Euro, but taxes and delivery increases its price up to 87 Euro.
This site (or my bank) refused my card... :(

What happened with bercy.fr? I don't understand french, but I see that it's possible to buy tickets to another concerts... :(((

Does anyone can help me? Do you know right sites with not expensive tickets?

Thanks in advance,
Alex

[Chavi]

there's no good ticket left for the 10th on Bercy.fr. You can get seats from behind the stage for about 48€ I think. But you should email Aakashnaik (see his posts on the first page), he'll probably sell you his standing tix, if he hasnt sold them yet.

*post edited* :embarassed:

[keiten]

Thank you Chavi!

I wrote email to Aakash...

But in general: is it possible to come to the Bercy at the day of concert and buy ticket for normal price (50-60 euro) or not?

It would be my first european concert, in Ukraine ot's normal practice to purchase the tickets for 1-2 weeks prior to the event and there are noo problems to get normal ticket at the same day...

[Chavi]

I dont think it's possible. You'd have to be very lucky for that to happen, especially for normal prices. hope you'll be able to get tix though :)

[Khalplay]

Indeed, Chavi's right, the concert being sold out I doubt there's any chance to get a ticket few weeks before or on the day of the concert, you will find some sold by touts so they're gonna be very expensive...

[Tonsu]

Kash (aakashnaik) is a totally trustworthy fella, you guys will have no problems at all getting these tickets from him :)

[Chavi]

I'm sure he is ! :) like most coldplayers anyway !

[aakashnaik]

Hey Guys

Just thought I should tell you all, I have sold my tickets. Thanks everyone for their help, support and kind words. Hope you all have an awesome time. I'll:D check back here to see how it went.

[Khalplay]

I'm glad you finally got your money back.
That was very kind from you to help those who were looking for tickets :)

[blondeisotope]

Hi Everyone!

I turns out that I will be Paris September 9-12 & since I missed out on Tickets to the UK shows I was wondering if anyone has a spare ticket to either of the Paris shows? Please reply or PM me.

I'm a huge Coldplay fan & am pretty easy going & fun... hope someone can help me out!

Many thanks!
Mel

[Khalplay]

Hello, in case no one answer you I just wanted to let you know there are still some tickets avaible here http://www.ticketnet.fr/shop/fr/manif.asp?idmanif=150072&idtier=78768 but they are awful seated places at the back on the stage :

Door I or M... but maybe it's better than nothing ;)

Good luck !

[AnaBeatriz]

Hi everyone!

My brother and I are going to be in Paris from Sept 10-15 and we were so lucky to find out about the Coldplay concerts there. Bought the tickets online for the gig on Sept 10 and received them a couple of weeks later down here in Brazil. Everything worked out great!!

Anyway, although I have been to thousands of concerts down here in South America (including Coldplay on Sept - 2003!), I've never been to a concert in Europe before, so I have some questions that maybe you guys can help me out.

When is it a good time to arrive at the venue? Taking the metro there is fine? Are there gonna be any opening acts? If so, at what time does it start?

Appreciate any tips! I've been checking all the reviews for the concerts in the US and I just can't wait to get to Paris and finally see them live again! Soooo excited!

Are you planning on any meetups before the show?

Hope to see you all soon!

Regards

Ana Beatriz

[Khalplay]

Hello !

I'm glad you managed to have tickets and everything :)

I'd say it depends on the tickets you chose, if you're seated (all categories except the 4th one) you won't need to arrive before the time written on your tickets (should be 20:30) , if you're standing then it'll depend on where you're excepting to be... as far as I remember in 2005 I arrived like 1h30 before the time written on the ticket and was at 1/3 of the floor or something like this (and if you want more details, being quite small I didn't see anything during the show)...

As far as I understood there should be FEW openings acts (seems we don't know who yet, correct me if I'm wrong, but we should wait til the beginning of the European tour), the first band should start short after 20:30 or maybe 21h...

No meeting planned for now I guess but I'd personally be glad to meet some people considering I'm going alone (though I may arrived VERY early to be first row so... dunno if everyone feel like doing this ahah)

Taking the metro is more than fine, you'll arrive right in front of the venue by taking the line 14 and get off the train at ''Bercy'' !

see you soon

[AnaBeatriz]

Bad, bad news. Not going to Paris on September anymore.... Had a change of plans here at work and had to change my vacations to November...
On the bright side, I've heard they're coming to play in Brazil next year!
Anyway, I'm trying to sell my tickets at Ebay, if anyone's interested, please let me know. I have two tickets for the "fosse debout". :)

Thanks and for those of you who are going, enjoy it :))

Ana

[keiten]

Hi Ana,

It's bad news...
I'm still looking for 1 ticket... I haven't met success. :( But you have 2 tickets. May you split it or not?

[*cam*]

Hi guys !
Unfortunately due to schedule issue, my little brother cannot come with me to the concert :(. So I've got one spare standing ticket for sept 10th (Paris Bercy).
If you're interested, you can PM me. I'll sell it 46.5 euros (face value).

[cuuliem]

Hi guys
I'm a newbie... hope to see some of you at bercy for both shows!! i'll be there early in the afternoon!!

edit i have an extra ticket for the 10th, general admission in the pit. it's on ebay... but if you're saying you're from coldplaying, i'll sell it face value 46eur
http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=290257165110&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=019
I hope to get rid of it.
I can send it by mail if there is enough time, otherwise we can meet up in paris

[cuuliem]

The ticket is no more available, thanks to chris²!..
I'll be glad to meet all fans there

[Khalplay]

I'm gettin more and more excited :smug:

[FixYougirl]

I'm gettin more and more excited :smug:
So am I, and yesterday i saw them during the news on TV showing a few minutes their concert in Strasbourg where people crammed 4 hours ahead to be near the stage.:cool:

[magic]

hello,

i'm still looking for 2 tickets in Paris, doesn't matter if 9th or 10th of septemper...
i know it's a bit late but i've decided to go to paris just a few days ago (i live in switzerland)...!!!
do you think it's possible to find tickets now??? i still hope so....
do anybody know if it is possible to buy tikets that day to palais omnisport in paris-bercy?

please if you can help me, write here

THANKS!!!

bye, magic

[FixYougirl]

Magic, i've noticed some people out there can't eventually attend their concert and can now sell their tickets. Just scroll down this thread and you could read who can sell you tickets, otherwise i've seen on E-Bay.fr that people sell tickets a little more expensive. In case you come by car, park it at Gare de Lyon parking and not in the parking of Bercy because it will take much time to get out of it. Have a look beforehand how to get on foot from Gare de Lyon to Bercy (POPB). I wish you, guys, a great time at the concert. I'll wear an orange cotton scarf if you want to tell me "hello, coldplayer". It will be nice.:)

[magic]

{THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR ADVICE, "LEGAL PRINCESS"!}
...
i've found one ticket :lol:, now i'm looking for the second-one, cause i'll be in paris with a friend.

I'M LOOKING FOR 1 TICKET IN PARIS-BERCY - DATE 10TH SEPT (STANDING)

the best solution is to find someone who's going to the concert but has tickets in excess, so that we could meet there.

please please please :P magic

I'm just disappointed by something:

Most people around me, standing, had NO IDEA what the lyrics were. I was the only one to sing.

that was particularly annoying when chris asked us to sing with him at the beginning of CoL, and nobody yelled the "la la layyy".

Chris was quite surprised as he laughed and felt a bit embarrassed i think lol.

But he moved on and the crowd eventually became better at singing.

PS: that wasn't a problem yesterday for the first show!

[melanieau]

What did Chris say about Jonny's birthday?

[charley]

What did Chris say about Jonny's birthday?

well as far as i can remember, nothing particular, he just came on the front of the scene with the balloons in his hand (looked like a little boy lol) and explained that it was johnny's b-day.

he asked us if we'd like to sing along with them, in english or french ;)

[Jsalyers]

Aww how cute!!!!

[charley]

Here's the tracklisting i managed to get : (i'm quite happy with this souvenir!)

Ok so Last night we agreed to arrive at 7:30 am at the POPB, which I did. Two guys were already there, one of them wasn't that far from me last night, the other one is a shy coldplaying member (if you read that, I'm the short hair girl hehe). Few minutes later Mrs Pantyman (alias Chavi XD) wrote me she would be late. Indeed: she decided to sleep last night, whereas I didn't (i'm lying : I slept 1h30 gniahhhhh).

Queueing was cooler today, because people around us were friendly (they weren't yesterday), though the band didn't make any soundcheck (which helps time going faster) and the sun was burning my (very white) skin. We were totally exhausted so we tried to sleep on the ground (I actually didn't succeed in finding some sleep but she did, I swear I heard her snoring ahahah).
I got pics of that afternoon cause even if we were zombies it was quite fun : Chavi sleeping with a Chris Martin mask on her head, Chavi under a garbage bag...etc
(ps : if she tells you I was kissing the garbage bag pretending to see Chris' face on it, SHE'S LYING !!! Right XD ?)

Ok the door opened at 18:30, right on time (first difference with yesterday).
We didn't run like yesterday to be first row cause we were the first in the queue with the three nice boys so the security guys were telling us ''heyyy girls, don't run ok ? you're the first, there's no one to steal your place''. I went straight in front of what would later be Chris' mic (omg ideal place), a friend of mine was on my right and Chavi was on her right (in order to be closer to Mr Berryman, as you can guess :sneaky: )

I thought the crowd would be better than the 9th one cause people were yelling while queueing. Well, I was wrong : we didn't have any mexican wave, people were more concerned by the fact that Lenny Kravitz was there than by the fact that the concert was about to start.
Btw I did see Mr Kravitz but I didn't actually give a sh... XD

OK so mister AH.Jr entered the stage around 20:20... so we knew everything would be faster than last night. Crowd wasn't receptive to his show, and we were tired to yell his name again like yesterday. He tried some ''hey excited to see Coldplay tonight ?'' that didn't make anyone react (I mean, react quickly) so I realised our crowd wasn't that great. Anyway, he didn't stay too long cause he left at 21:00.

Short before the best band ever appeared on stage, people decided to act like a good crowd singing some ''wowowowow'' but not VLV's ones : some football ones... pity, they should have went to the Stade De France cause it wasn't as great as singing some Coldplay's one. Anyway at least they were finally showing they were waiting for Coldplay (it might be all Lenny K.'s fault who caught all the attention on him hehe)
Miller came to put some kind of cameras (one just in front of us) on the stage, I called him and said very loudly ''Spreading the R#42 love'' but he pretended he hadn't heard me though I'm sure he has haha !!!

And hop, there it was, LiT. Chris entered the stage with few balloons for Jonny's birthday and put them on the TV or something like this (couldn't see clearly but the balloons spent the whole gig there). For those of you who read my last review I've got to say: I wasn't frightened any more of not liking them so I was totally into the show from the beginning to the end. I even found a way to JUMP on LiT... dunno how I was finding all that energy cause few minutes earlier I was about to sleep on the barrier, anyway.

Then Chavi gave me my ''Jonny - A bit early" ban and she took her "Happy Birthday" one. Didn't took much time to Jon to see us and answer with a shy smile.
We tried again the masks at the end of VH but seems there's nothing to do to catch Chris' attention with those, but then again we can't be sure, we can't see clearly when we're wearing them ahah.

Well I enjoyed Clocks, In My Place and SOS like a Coldplay fan who's first row in front of Chris, which means I probably seemed crazy but I didn't care. When Chris came very close to the first row for the first time (during IMP), I kinda felt like it was definitely going to be (one of?) THE best concert I've ever went to.
I noticed Chris was very very very closed to Jonny boy on that night during IMP so I guess it was because of his birthday though he didn't say a thing about it at this time.

And here was Cemeteries which (if you remember that) I found a little disappointing last night. Well I now think it's a very strange song to hear live cause you can't express that song with your body by any movement but who cares ? It was beautiful. When the first ''singin lalalalalalay'' arrived we all sang it way too quickly and Chris laughed, we were so in a hurry XD
I don't remember all the (bloody cute) bullshits Chris said before the song (probably something like Paris crowd was perfect last night but even better today) but I remember he had a ''Wednesday issue'' ahah: he spoke like 3 times of the fact we were Wednesday as if it wasn't a day like any other.

Chinese Sleep Chant and 42 were really cool (hey I'm loosing all my vocabulary, I feel like I can't even speak a proper English anymore, my brain is just full of Coldplay right now, so I apologize)

Seeing Chris jumping just in front of me during Fix You probably turned me into an even crazier being. I discovered during that song that Chris wasn't actually staring at people and doing crazy faces to them as I thought he was last night, but he was doing that when he was seeing cameras ! I kept that in mind (even though I only had a shitty cellphone).

Strawberry is definitely one of the best songs live.

I adored GPUSAYF+Talk once again, I was the only one jumping like crazy on those (I swear you I was jumping quite high, flying in the -hot- air), music was just flowing in my veins. It's just what I except from a band on live. They f*cking (Can I ? hehe) rock !!!
The Hardest part was once again very moving though the girl fainting behind me made me come back on earth. He ended it with a solo piano. I asked Chavi if it could be Postcards from far away but she said no. So maybe she'll explain that later. Could be just a very known classic song ?

So, just like last night's concert about which I'm not really able to tell you when RoL was played, I think it's around that time that Chris came back on the scene's piano to play another awesome solo which I'm quite sure was ''Goodbye Lenin'' OST... I can be wrong but it really sounded like it.

VLV and Lost killed me again, I could feel water streaming down my legs (disgusting hehe). They were, of course, awesome. Same ''wohohohoh'', as usual now.

When they were performing The Scientist (before which Chris said Mr Kravitz was there) I once again appeared as an extra-terrestrial being because instead of singing towards the giant screens like anyone else I turned to the dark stage cause Miller was taking back his cameras next to me, I thus called him again which didn't work though he definitely heard me that time.
Still nice to hear our fav drummer singing.

I wanted the same ''cellphone screens'' show than last night during the VLV remix so I put mine in the air to show people what they had to do. It actually took them quite a long time to follow the few people who were already doing it but we did it again ! Still beautiful. Let's note the crowd started to sing some football ''wohohoho'' again instead of VLV's ones at the begining of the remix... how stupid, they noticed they were wrong later by hearing the pieces of lyrics and we ended up with a perfect ''encore'' as cool as yesterday's one.

Well I can't find words to describe Politik, Lovers and DAAHF. I'm definitely sure Politik is perfect at this time, it feels like you're starting a new Coldplay concert. I love this.
I think it's during one of those that Chris came again (as he did a lot during the concert) close to the first row and I decided to take a pic of him while there weren't many hands in the air so he turned to my phone (as I said earlier I think he stares a lot at cameras, not people) and sang while watching it for some long seconds !!! My friends told me ''OMG DID YOU GOT THAT ? ITS SO COOL'' unfortunately my cellphone was currently meeting problems so I don't have any video nor photo of this instant, pity.

When they came back for Yellow we understood it was Birthday's time so Chavi put her ''Happy Birthday'' ban in the air for the second time, Chris said it was Jonny's birthday and he went straight to the balloons to hold them. Jonny saw the banner and thanked Chavi, smiling, with his head. Guy was taking lotsa pics, maybe Chavi's banner will be on one of them. A girl came with a cake and we all sang the Happy Birthday song (too early, just like with the CoL chorus ahah)
Then yellow started and Chris, who had put the balloons at his feet, started to play with them though they got stuck to his foot, so Guy and him spent the whole song laughing. Chris was laughing while singing, and Guy was really having fun, it's the first time I was seeing him smiling like this. No need to say the song was awesome, and at the end the cameraman turned to us and zoomed on the guy on my left, when I noticed that on the screen I turned to the cameraman and I don't know what happened but he filmed me for quite a long time XD A friend who was in the back of the venue told me he could clearly see me jumping and yelling on the screen ahahah hope I'll find some vids of this.

So that must be pretty much it. You can't imagine how tired I am now and how much some of my bones are hurting me but I'm can't get my mind of this show.

Thanks god I'm seeing them in december !!

Btw Chris had his ring even if it was hidden... that's it XD

But he moved on and the crowd eventually became better at singing.

Not at all, where were you ?
It was actually pretty fun cause yesterday he asked us to sing with him during the ''following song'' before CoL and he didn't this night, so what actually happened is that we were all kinda in a hurry to sing with him and we started to sing the lalalalay way too early, he wasn't even ready to play that part on guitar so he had to jump few notes (notes/chords ? I dunno) to come back where we already were. It was more funny than annoying, we even all laughed when we noticed we were singing it too fast.

[Merwithani]

I'm just disappointed by something:

Most people around me, standing, had NO IDEA what the lyrics were. I was the only one to sing.

PS: that wasn't a problem yesterday for the first show!

That was a pet-peeve of mine at the Chicago show in July. There were lots of people around me who were unfamiliar with the new songs (old songs, too). :veryangry2:

Still nice to hear our fav drummer singing.

I wanted the same ''cellphone screens'' show than last night during the VLV remix so I put mine in the air to show people what they had to do. It actually took them quite a long time to follow the few people who were already doing it but we did it again ! Still beautiful. Let's note the crowd started to sing some football ''wohohoho'' again instead of VLV's ones at the begining of the remix... how stupid, they noticed they were wrong later by hearing the pieces of lyrics and we ended up with a perfect ''encore'' as cool as yesterday's one.

Well I can't find words to describe Politik, Lovers and DAAHF. I'm definitely sure Politik is perfect at this time, it feels like you're starting a new Coldplay concert. I love this.
I think it's during one of those that Chris came again (as he did a lot during the concert) close to the first row and I decided to take a pic of him while there weren't many hands in the air so he turned to my phone (as I said earlier I think he stares a lot at cameras, not people) and sang while watching it for some long seconds !!! My friends told me ''OMG DID YOU GOT THAT ? ITS SO COOL'' unfortunately my cellphone was currently meeting problems so I don't have any video nor photo of this instant, pity.

When they came back for Yellow we understood it was Birthday's time so Chavi put her ''Happy Birthday'' ban in the air for the second time, Chris said it was Jonny's birthday and he went straight to the balloons to hold them. Jonny saw the banner and thanked Chavi, smiling, with his head. Guy was taking lotsa pics, maybe Chavi's banner will be on one of them. A girl came with a cake and we all sang the Happy Birthday song (too early, just like with the CoL chorus ahah)
Then yellow started and Chris, who had put the balloons at his feet, started to play with them though they got stuck to his foot, so Guy and him spent the whole song laughing. Chris was laughing while singing, and Guy was really having fun, it's the first time I was seeing him smiling like this. No need to say the song was awesome, and at the end the cameraman turned to us and zoomed on the guy on my left, when I noticed that on the screen I turned to the cameraman and I don't know what happened but he filmed me for quite a long time XD A friend who was in the back of the venue told me he could clearly see me jumping and yelling on the screen ahahah hope I'll find some vids of this.

So that must be pretty much it. You can't imagine how tired I am now and how much some of my bones are hurting me but I'm can't get my mind of this show.

Thanks god I'm seeing them in december !!

Btw Chris had his ring even if it was hidden... that's it XD

Great review, Chris2 ~ you'll definitely have sweet dreams tonight!

[charley]

Not at all, where were you ?
It was actually pretty fun cause yesterday he asked us to sing with him during the ''following song'' before CoL and he didn't this night, so what actually happened is that we were all kinda in a hurry to sing with him and we started to sing the lalalalay way too early, he wasn't even ready to play that part on guitar so he had to jump few notes (notes/chords ? I dunno) to come back where we already were. It was more funny than annoying, we even all laughed when we noticed we were singing it too fast.

Well that makes sense, i was standing in the middle of the crowd, and where i was, people were not real fans. Not like the people you had next to you who waited hours and quite logically knew the lyrics...

So i guess i misunderstood what happenned at that point.

But really, the crowd was worse than tuesday. Indeed the football-ish singing didn't fit...

Dayum is Chris pumping iron? Check out those muscles at :54-:58:sweatdrop:

EDIT: sorry wrong thread...:confused: Great reviews everyone!:)

[Khalplay]

Yeah Charley I totally agree about the footbal-ish ''wohoho'' though tonight's crowd wasn't THAT BAD... maybe it's just my feelings because of the people around me. Anyway there were probably more fans in last one's one but tonight's one did great things too... it was just two different crowd:)

OH btw I forgot something in both of my reviews (which is quite ridiculous but unfortunately true) :
That violet shirt Chris was wearing makes him blooooooodyyyy seeeexxxxyyy XD

THAT was shameful I should really go to bed now, my whole body is shaking, I haven't have a true night for a long time now hehe

thanks for the reviews Chris (I don't know your name :bigcry:)

[CRYSTAL]

thanks Camille i am sad that they haven't played ROL again!:(

atleast not even Yes.:cry:

[Carlaatje]

hey everybody...
sorry I wasn't here for updates... I know the concert started at 21.23 exactly and ended at23.04
chavi called me during the hardest part and it sounded sooo beautifull!

what camilla told you is what chavi texted me.. so nop need to post that again, except that she's feeling a bit sad thatthis was her last concert but it were the two most amaaaazing weeks of her life!

here's some vide to make up for my absence

lit

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s09Bc1tgC2o

still can't find yellow... WHYYYYY

[A RUSH OF VIDA]

Cool..thanks!!!

[coldpatrix]

The Hardest part was once again very moving though the girl fainting behind me made me come back on earth. He ended it with a solo piano. I asked Chavi if it could be Postcards from far away but she said no. So maybe she'll explain that later. Could be just a very known classic song ?

So, just like last night's concert about which I'm not really able to tell you when RoL was played, I think it's around that time that Chris came back on the scene's piano to play another awesome solo which I'm quite sure was ''Goodbye Lenin'' OST... I can be wrong but it really sounded like it.

It was definitely Postcards From Far Away...

[Lauve]

Awesome review miss Camile :heart: thank you very much :flutterby:

[Noémie]

Thanks for the review Chris2/Camille!! You must be exhausted now!!!

Does anyone have a video of the happy birthday song? And the Yellow one with Guy and Chris laughing?
Guy laughing, that's a first. I wanna see it!!
;)

[Khalplay]

It was definitely Postcards From Far Away...
Which one ? Cause there were two solos on two different pianos.

Don't worry Noémie videos are coming, Chavi filmed a lot just like a girl who filmed half of the gig and who's gonna send everything to me in order that I put it here ;)

[FixYougirl]

I'm sure she had a great time as i had.

[Khalplay]

Ok so in order to wait here is a video of mine of what I think could be Goodbye Lenin's OST :
YouTube - Coldplay - POPB - 10.09.08 - Solo
I'm sorry the quality sucks I usually never film anything with my cellphone but considering Chris had a towel on his head and that I freaking love him when he does stupid things like that I wanted to keep a memory of it XD

[gus]

i love the talk remix version

[melanieau]

IMP
:wideeyed:

YouTube - Coldplay - In My Place- Live In Paris Bercy 10 Sept.

[Noémie]

Camille, I don't think it's Goodbye Lenin's music... I have Goodbye Lenin's CD and I don't think it's on it...(maybe I'm wrong!)
But it's a very famous music!! I can't remember what it is....!

I hope the videos of Happy birthday and Yellow are coming... ;)

[enjoycoldplay]

Thanks a lot for sharing this ! Great videos !:rolleyes:

[cephaus]

the piano medley is called 'Gnossienne No. 1'

[Evori]

nice review!

[Noémie]

You're right! The music is called "Gnossienne n°1" and is from the French pianist Erik Satie. Very famous.

Maybe the music was in Goodbye Lenin, I can't remember...(in the movie and not the soundtrack?)

[Khalplay]

Oh ok then :)
I dunno I just felt like I knew that from a movie on which Yann Tiersen worked so I thought it was a part of Goodbye Lenin's ost but it seems you guys are right.

[Noémie]

I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The music was in the movie Amélie Poulain!!!!!!!!!!!
My God, I always wanted to know what was that music!!! You know, it's in the movie when Amélie watches television, when some horses are running OR when the babies are swimming in a pool. I'm almost sure it's one of theses sequences of the movie.
And the music is not on Amélie Poulain's soundtrack (that is for sure).

What a relief!
;)

[coldpatrix]

Sorry, but the Satie cover was played at the end of Politik, not The Hardest Part...right?

[Khalplay]

AHhh you rock Noémie, so I wasn't THAT wrong in a way !

At the end of politik he played a different solo on the b-stage piano.

Ok guys you should watch this :
YouTube - Coldplay - Live In Paris Bercy-Chris Martin et le français

I can clearly see myself (first row in front of chris) putting my hands in the air even when Chris is talking (I swear I had so much energy even after that 1h30 night sleep ahah).
You have to know that Chris ALWAYS say ''my français est merde je sais'' when he comes to France so when he said ''my Français...'' a few of us yelled ''IL EST MERDE JE SAIS'' (which isn't THAT kind but it's only because it's so cute when he repeats that everytime) and for the first time he didn't say it ahah !!!
And you can hear what happened on Cemeteries (when we were singing too quickly)

[marie/pims]

I wish we could find Yellow!I wanna see Guy and Chris laughing...well especially Guy

[Khalplay]

Well if we don't find any before tonight, don't worry, Chavi filmed everything as far as I remember, and the girl next to her too.

MWAHAHAHAHA ! of course I do :D

[melanieau]

that was great Chavi!!!! He was SOOOOOO embarrassed!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[charley]

AHhh you rock Noémie, so I wasn't THAT wrong in a way !

At the end of politik he played a different solo on the b-stage piano.

And you can hear what happened on Cemeteries (when we were singing too quickly)

Concerning CoL, i can see that indeed we were a bit early at singing, but we were also just a few, weren't we?

Usually a crowd singing is a bit more loud, so i really don't know whether Chris laughed because of the speed or the silence...

BUT ANYWAY, don't think one second i didn't enjoy the concert! I just wish i could have been next to you all, and have people around me singing, knowing the lyrics.

Because as you said, you can be in the middle of a dull crowd, if people around you are on fire, then you are! which means it's the best concert ever.

I wasn't lucky this time, but the more important thing is that obviously i know it's not Coldplay's fault :D.

[melanieau]

The pictures and the videos are amazing, thanks Chavi!

And seeing Chris getting his foot stuck should have been really hilarious (for the crowd...and especially for him! lol)

buuut t still fabulous videooo... was there some kissing going on behind the balloons?

[Noémie]

They're so cute!
;)

Does anyone know if the others (Will and Guy) don't get jealous of the big friendship between Chris and "Jonny-boy"?

[Noémie]

Yes, he said "aujourd'hui" (today) for Jonny birthday, but he should have said "demain" (tomorrow)!

But, that's not so important ;)

[Carlaatje]

yes it is... it would make jonny a day older! :P

[Mimixxx]

Great vids Chavi :dance: I love how the crowd whooped at Chris being overly friendly at the end of IMP. :lol:

[CRYSTAL]

i like Chinese sleep chant.

i liked one thing about this setlist, they are not at all taking out CSC from the beginning of their tour and even before they started from jimmy kimmel show.

and also till now in all the concerts they played it.

i know once Chris said that Guy likes that song and also partially i think chris likes it too.:rolleyes:

but as for i know about Chris he likes Lost as he said in hour interview, and also likes lovers in japan too.

i like Yes(chris likes it too because he said it sounds sexy and all those things),Lost,ROL,CSC,Lovers in japan,LIT,VH from the new album.

and i am happy that they will never remove LIT,VH,CSC and also Yellow too with which i really came to know about Coldplay in those days.

And I thought it was kinda funny how during your vid of In My Place you started shaking right when the "pleease pleeease pleeeeease" part comes up, when Chris runs up to Jonny. It's like you were too excited, expecting the moment! HA!

I gotta say, thanks to Mel and her anxious requests for IMP vids in every show thread :lol:, I now too, always look for it, waiting to see what goes on in the "ramp of looove." But I'm more concerned that one day Chris doesn't fly right into poor Jonny and just totally push him off the ramp! LOL I know that by now Jonny starts to brace himself for it; I just hope one day he doesn't get sick of him and sock Chris in the face. Like, "quit it will you, I'm playing my solo here!":P

[Noémie]

Yep, I agree!!!

[cant think of a name]

I'm by no means a regular on here but am a long-time fan; just thought I'd come on to say that I really enjoyed the gig on Wednesday night - it was my 4th time seeing them and it was great :) I don't think anything will beat the 1st time (back in 2002) but it's always a joy to see them. Viva La Vida was a real highlight - it sounds great live. Loved the phone-waving during the remix too! I would have preferred the ordinary versions of GPASUYF and Talk, but they were interesting! Politik, one of my live favourites, was sublime as always. To sum it up, merci Coldplay! :)

review :

what a night I had ! I was exhausted, woke up early because I told Camille I'd be at the venue around 7:30.. I got there around 8:30am.. Haha! we were in the first four people in the queue ! it was going to be a looooong day ! I was even more nervous because I didnt have a ticket for that night.. well not yet ! Julien (the guy who sold me his ticket) texted me and said he'd be there at 9am... HE WAS LATE! :bigcry: 9:15am he called : "i'm there! where are you?" (I know he wasnt THAT late but try to understand how I Felt..) WEEEEEEE ! I GOT MY TICKET ! (THANKS AGAIN JULIEN, YOU'RE THE BEST ! THANKS FOR HAVING TOO MUCH WORK AT THE MOMENT, THANKS TO THAT I WAS ABLE TO GO ! :nice: and I hope you'll see them next time!)
So the waiting began.. I tried to sleep, but wasnt able to get a lot of rest. I was kinda sad it was the last French gig. Wasnt in the same mood as the day before, and i was really really tired so it didnt help much. A soundcheck wouldve cheered me up but they didnt do one. Bummer ! If only I knew, I wouldve been to The Louvre.. :disappointed:
The doors opened at 6:30pm. Now, things were getting interesting ! Funny, we didnt have to run this time because we were the first ones to enter the venue. We did though at the beginning, till security guards told us not to. So we walked quickly to the front taking time to say 'Bonsoir' to the security guards ! :lol: haha! We got our nice and perfect spot, I was center right this time.. had to be on Guy's side for the last time :nice: !
Lenny Kravitz was in the audience.. that was kinda cool ! but poor guy who came to enjoy a nice show and got 'harrassed' by hundreds of people wanting to take pics with him.. :confused: Although, Chris was cute enough to dedicate him a The scientist. How nice!
Albert Hammond Jr was great. He came on stage early this time, 8:20pm, which surprised many of us.. I was on the phone with my sister waiting for Coldplay to be on French TV when I suddenly had to hang up. Haha! I didnt give much of my energy this time, like I said i was deadly tired. I was saving everything for Coldplay. I clapped and cheered a bit but that's it. He and his band were still pretty good though !
The band's staff came on stage to get everything prepared. That's when I woke up ! The adrenaline started to have effects ! :dance:
9:30 (I think) Coldplay were there ! GREAT GREAT NIGHT ! I tried to enjoy it to death, taking few pics and vids this time (not so true because I couldnt help it)..

highlights :
- Jonny read our 'happy birthday' sign TWICE and made this cute/shy (as always)but big smile ! and also waved at the end !
- Camille and I put the Chris masks again ! haha! still no reaction...
- Fix you, I was so moved !
- Chinese sleep chant : great energy, great song, awesome moment !
- Viva la vida, always one of the best parts of the show ! excellent song live, perfect atmosphere ! the crowd are fantastic during that song ! so are Coldplay !
- The mobile phones dance wasnt that impressive than the night before but still beautiful !
- Politik : my heart almost exploded of joy and excitment ! Best song they've ever made !
- Lovers in Japan : OMG ! I really really felt like crying. it felt so good ! Just closed my eyes, head up and waiting for the pretty butterflies. I did that during the other shows but very quickly not to miss the band. But this time I did it much longer and I was in that amazing peaceful state of mind. How emotional that was !
- Jonny's birthday ! awwww, that was cute ! Chris' little speech and us singing 'happy birthday/joyeux anniversaire' (depends on where you were). i'm so glad they did that. SPECIAL MOMENT!
- Chris got his foot stuck to bday balloons ! Hahaha ! that was PRICELESS ! all 4 of them having a VERY GOOD LAUGH, especially Guy. OMG I was laughing my ass off ! I wanted to pee myself, so were they ! haha !

So that was an amazing show, but it felt so different from the other three.. I was so sad at the end. Disappointed with the setlist at the same time.. but I guess it had to end! I'm experiencing post-show depression right now but that was the most amazing 2 weeks Ive ever had! So many great memories and I cant wait to do it again ! hopefully they'll have more French dates for the next tour :P haha!

Does anyone have the setlist of the Albert Hammonf Jr part, please ?

[Noémie]

Does anyone have the setlist of the Albert Hammonf Jr part, please ?

Look at this thread here: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=46663&page=18

It's the thread of the 3rd Oct gig. Chavi was there and got the setlist from a musician of Albert Hammonf Jr band. She took a picture and posted it on the thread.

[*cam*]

^ cool, merci !

[Noémie]

^ cool, merci !

de rien :)

[Chavi]

On a 3 différentes setlists pour Albert Hammond Jr en fait. Une pour le 2 octobre à Rotterdam, une pour le 3, et une pour le 4 octobre à Anvers. :)

[Noémie]

Donc ils ne jouent jamais la même chose ?! :stunned:

[Chavi]

oh non ! ils changent souvent. Certaines chansons reviennent mais c'est rarement le même ordre.

[FixYougirl]

CHAVI, as-tu "Clocks" qui est une de mes chansons préférées et que j'ai quasiment loupée quand je suis allée au concert du 9 sept. car je trifouillais mon appareil photo pendant la chanson, et c'est bien dommage. Si tu avais la vidéo ce serait vraiment sympa. Merci d'avance.:)

[Chavi]

Non, je ne l'ai pas, désolée. Clocks est une des rares chansons que je ne filme pas car je préfère profiter à fond :nice:

[FixYougirl]

Ca ne fait rien, merci. Je vais demander aux américains qui vont assister aux concerts aux States s'ils peuvent le filmer.

[cuuliem]

Ca ne fait rien, merci. Je vais demander aux américains qui vont assister aux concerts aux States s'ils peuvent le filmer.
