[Cris_Santos]

I couldn't find a live stream :( I wanna see it too :cry:

[chileandude1]

clocks
viva la vida
lost
in my place
42
and another song

great and free.

[Mimixxx]

violet hill or lovers

Lovers surely, they'll want to use the butterflies.

[gc24hs24]

I think they said this concert was the largest turnout for any of The Today Show's Summer Concert Series. They were playing In My Place and they didn't come back until the end of it! How disappointing.

[The Mad Hatter]

^I know, that's one of my favorite songs. ;.;

God...cushions? How boring. Now I remember why I never watch this show.

[Mimixxx]

I couldn't find a live stream :( I wanna see it too :cry:

I looked all over, downloaded programs that will probably knacker my computer, just isn't available.

It might be put up afterwards though, I hope so.

[dotty biscotti]

I only expected the folks at NBC to air 3 songs...this is a wonderful surprise

[chileandude1]

while they talk about furniture anyone listen to new sigur ros album?

[notlost92]

I missed In My Place! Or what they showed of it anyway...

I'm learning a lot about real estate and decorating my house for the summer... Thank you Coldplay!

[The Mad Hatter]

I'm sorry you guys can't see it. It'll be up somewhere soon, probably. =(

And I'm sure the members there will have pictures and stuff!

[The Mad Hatter]

ONE MOREEEEEEE AFTER LOCAL NEWS AND WEATHER WHICH ISN'T EVEN TECHNICALLY LOCAL FOR ME WELL OKAY MAYBE IT IS, BUT CUMBERLAND, MD IS CLOSER TO ME THAN WASHINGTON, DC DO THEY EVEN HAVE A STATION IN CUMBERLAND I THINK THEY DO

ONE MORE!!!!

[SrfSnwColdplay]

Did anyone see that chick throw her panties right in Chris' hands? He didn't know what to do! :laugh3:

[gc24hs24]

I missed In My Place! Or what they showed of it anyway...

I'm learning a lot about real estate and decorating my house for the summer... Thank you Coldplay!

How funny! :laugh3: So what song do you think they will play? I can't think of what it would be. I would guess Violet Hill.

[notlost92]

Ah, I think it might be after these commercials and the local news/weather break!

I know the Today Show puts up some videos on their site, I'm not sure if they'll put the performance up there though :\

[gc24hs24]

Did anyone see that chick throw her panties right in Chris' hands? He didn't know what to do! :laugh3:

I saw that too! I didn't think it was panties though. Do you think they'll have the recording of it on youtube or anywhere on the net?

[Mimixxx]

The first full hour is up, which is random.

[Hotplay007]

that's wonderful how they didn't cut off any songs. i was happy to see this wasn't another Jimmy Kimmel/The Colbert Report moment.... :rolleyes:

[Cris_Santos]

I looked all over, downloaded programs that will probably knacker my computer, just isn't available.

It might be put up afterwards though, I hope so.

My computer must be full of malwares by now :laugh3:

[The Mad Hatter]

Did anyone see that chick throw her panties right in Chris' hands? He didn't know what to do! :laugh3:


Is that when he said something about undressing? I missed it the first time, but I have it recorded, so I can watch it whenever I want!!! Yay DVR! :lol:

I'm so excited! They'll probably play "Violet Hill," which is my least favorite, but it's Coldplay, so it's okay. :)

[Hotplay007]

I saw that too! I didn't think it was panties though. Do you think they'll have the recording of it on youtube or anywhere on the net?

i saw the two bras that were up there. WOW COLDPLAY IS LIKE A REAL ROCK BAND NOW! They get bras and panties thrown at them!!!

[notlost92]

ONE MOREEEEEEE AFTER LOCAL NEWS AND WEATHER WHICH ISN'T EVEN TECHNICALLY LOCAL FOR ME WELL OKAY MAYBE IT IS, BUT CUMBERLAND, MD IS CLOSER TO ME THAN WASHINGTON, DC DO THEY EVEN HAVE A STATION IN CUMBERLAND I THINK THEY DO

ONE MORE!!!!

:nice: Yeah, my local news is the national news too...

I think they'll play Violet Hill, since that's their official single and they can't just forget their single!

[The Mad Hatter]

Oh jeez, the high for today is in the 90's!! :(

[The Mad Hatter]

I haven't been this excited about Coldplay since I first joined. ='(

[The Mad Hatter]

None of those concerts seem as cool as the one that's on now.

Vote Alanis, is she up for July 4th thing?

Okay, here it is...what is it...how can you be exhausted...you did nothing...Chris is not the only guy in the band...AGGGGHH GO TO COLDPLAY. NOW.

they're eating doughnuts? o_O

[gc24hs24]

OMG COLDPLAY SHOULD BE ONE OF THE ENCORES!!!!:angry:

[notlost92]

Did anyone see that chick throw her panties right in Chris' hands? He didn't know what to do! :laugh3:

What?! I missed that! When was it? That's hilarious, poor Chris, he must've been embarrassed...

[dotty biscotti]

Al Roker sure knows his stuff!

[The Mad Hatter]

Oh my god, they're going nuts in there. xDDD

[Hotplay007]

damn....i hate rain. it's gonna rain all week. 40% chance.... and DIDNT WE SEND IN QUESTIONS FOR THE BAND? or is that just me?

[dotty biscotti]

How many times do they need to do the weather? Seriously.

[The Mad Hatter]

As many times as it takes to make you want to sweat your butt off without even being outside...

Woah, I've posted more in here in a few hours than I have in full days.

[notlost92]

How many times do they need to do the weather? Seriously.

They have to predict every possible weather condition so that no one accuses them of being wrong ;) .

[Hotplay007]

How many times do they need to do the weather? Seriously.

OH MY GAH. I FREAKIN KNOW! it's like, Al Roker is like, then it's local every 10 minutes..... and it's like back to back interrupting my Coldplay show....

[Hotplay007]

They have to predict every possible weather condition so that no one accuses them of being wrong ;) .

:laugh3:

[The Mad Hatter]

Eww, he wants to show his baby his mother's lingerie...ewww...

[gc24hs24]

I think I have the 7-day weather report stuck in my head now. :lol:

[ColdplayBirdsFly]

^ ARRRGGGGHHH!!!! How are you still watching them?
I can't find the boys on any station!!!!
Saw the first 3 songs... then it got cut off...so they played 42 as well? :bigcry:

[Cris_Santos]

They have to predict every possible weather condition so that no one accuses them of being wrong ;) .

:laugh3:

[Hotplay007]

lmao! no kidding! I do too! 40% chance of rains, partly cloudy, thunderstorms all this week.... 93° - 88°

[The Mad Hatter]

^That's terrible! I feel for you.

Wow, I want some brownies. :dead:

[Hotplay007]

WELL, i'm off to bed. i haven't even slept yet. goodnight. no.. good morning!

[gc24hs24]

Heck where I'm at, we NEED rain! I haven't had to mow the lawn yet this summer because it's so dry here.

I have a feeling that Coldplay's last song is going to be as the show is going off the air. I wonder if the Today Show will have high ratings for this show because of Coldplay.

[The Mad Hatter]

See you later. Sweet dreams. :P

[The Mad Hatter]

I have a feeling that Coldplay's last song is going to be as the show is going off the air. I wonder if the Today Show will have high ratings for this show because of Coldplay.

Yeah...I thought about that...and it's on until 11, so I'd have to wait an hour and fifteen minutes. :\



Those swimsuits are ugly. O_O

[notlost92]

It'll either be at 9:59 or 10:59. If it's 10:59, I'll just have to go back to sleep and find it online later :/

[gc24hs24]

Wow by that time the crowd will be gone don't you think? Did anyone see during the songs they showed several people in the buildings next to the concert dancing?

[The Mad Hatter]

OMG FOODDDD

:)

I'm not sure I can sit through much more of this show.


Woah, they're on next!!!!! Or they're lying and they're going to make me sit through more stupid stuff.

[notlost92]

Wow, those poor children have to be on national television wearing those swimsuits. :cry:

They're on next!!!!!

[The Mad Hatter]

Wow by that time the crowd will be gone don't you think? Did anyone see during the songs they showed several people in the buildings next to the concert dancing?



I saw them focusing on buildings, but I didn't know why. o.o

[gc24hs24]

Well it looks like the crowd hasn't died down. I don't blame them. This is random but I hate the fact that the area I live in doesn't have many Coldplay fans. I never hear them on the local radio station! Thank god for XM.

[The Mad Hatter]

IN MY PLACE...ARE THEY SHOWING WHAT GOT CUT OFF?!?!?

[notlost92]

In My Place? So they're re-airing it, I guess..

[gc24hs24]

Well this isn't live but oh well I love this song .:)

[The Mad Hatter]

I'm glad I get to see it, but they were advertising falsely about it being another song.

Why does he keep doing that stutter thing? lol, lyrical change.

[notlost92]

Haha, "if you go, let us play on the Today Show"...

[notlost92]

Haha, "if you go, let us play on the Today Show"...

Edit: Oops, how do I delete a double post?

[The Mad Hatter]

OMG A GIANT HAMBURGER!!! XD

[The Mad Hatter]

OMG A GIANT HAMBURGER!!! XD

[Mimixxx]

Guys who can't watch, they've put Clocks up:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/25409438#25409438

[Cris_Santos]

Thanks Mich!! :kiss:

[notlost92]

Haha, Chris sitting on the TV and waving back at the stage... Well, I'm glad we saw that, even if we didn't technically get another song..

Hey, I just found it playing on ANOTHER channel! Sheesh, my channels are crazy!

...Wait, another?

[gvargas]

I left it taping at home! Wasn't able to catch the performance before I left.

Too bad there are no tvs in the office. I already saw some coldplaying signs in the audience, before I left. There is a pretty big crowd and I thought I saw someone's face that I have seen on the board...on their avatar. :)

[Ultravioletlight25]

42 :cool:

[lpwings08]

Did anyone feel bad for Chris, when some nasty ass skank decided to throw her crusty smelling panties at him during lost? His face was priceless! Like WTF? Then EWW!

[notlost92]

Wow, I am SO confused! Why are they airing 42 again? What's going on??

[Ultravioletlight25]

Wow, I am SO confused! Why are they airing 42 again? What's going on??

The songs that they aired on TV were:

Clocks
Viva La Vida
Lost!
In my Place (the end of the song)
42

[King Payam]

Did anyone feel bad for Chris, when some nasty ass skank decided to throw her crusty smelling panties at him during lost? His face was priceless! Like WTF? Then EWW!

Are you on the east coast? They either edited it out for the rest of the country, or I just missed it. I have to go back and look. I saw ann curry putting a bra or something on a table, but that's about it.

[The Joker]

youtube anyone?

[halokiti]

Did anyone feel bad for Chris, when some nasty ass skank decided to throw her crusty smelling panties at him during lost? His face was priceless! Like WTF? Then EWW!

You think it was one of us? lol!

[notlost92]

Yeah, I definitely missed this panties moment, I just saw Ann Curry with a bra. I hope someone uploads that part, I want to see Chris' face!!

[Cris_Santos]

This was the fist time that I was paying more attention to the crowd than to the band itself :laugh3:

[ColdplayBirdsFly]

YAY!!! SAW 42!!! ANOTHER SONG UP NEXT!!!

Anyway. . . .just wanted to point out
Highlights of COLDPLAY on the Today Show =
- When the announcer lady called referred to Jonny as Guy. (Poor Jon, he didn't know what to do :laugh3:)
- When the announcer ladies (with embarrassed faces) held up 2 freakin' bras that the crowd had thrown at the stage!!!
- And then in the middle of Lost! Chris got thrown a pair of black panties and exclaimed "Wow people are getting undressed here man!" Gross!!
- When Al Roker said "Coldplay rules!!!"
- When Al Roker was talking to some fans standing behind the stage and he told them "Oh you get a great view of the drummer's toosh!" :D
- ALL of those signs people made!!!! Sweeeet
- That Chris still has HOLES under his jacket arms! :lol:
- That the boys (especially Chris) were sweating like there's no tomorrow.

- What irked me a bit was that lady in the bloody front row who tried to dress like Gwyneth... anyone else see her?

[Ultravioletlight25]

Are you on the east coast? They either edited it out for the rest of the country, or I just missed it. I have to go back and look. I saw ann curry putting a bra or something on a table, but that's about it.

I was watching TV with my mom and she said that they through something at Chris. I missed it! I didn't realize it was someone's panties :embarassed:

[Mimixxx]

This was the fist time that I was paying more attention to the crowd than to the band itself :laugh3:

Me too, saw no-one I recognised though. :P

[polkahard]

Just got back from the show! I was around third/fourth row-ish right in front of the catwalk. It was absolutely incredible. Have to take a nap and drive back home to PA, but once all that's done, I (along with all the Coldplayers around me) have a lot of amazing pictures/videos to upload!

[The Joker]

Are they playing another song?

[lpwings08]

I mean throwing panties and bra's at the freakin Today Show concert? How Classy :rolleyes:

I realize the band members are nice to look at and all, but Will and Chris are both married and all the guys have little kids...

Nice support from the crowd w/signs though :) And I liked how each member answered a question


Oh, and yes ColdplayBirdsFly: I saw that chick in the front trying to pull a "Gwyneth".... she's got nothing on the real thing. LOL

[Ultravioletlight25]

Just got back from the show! I was around third/fourth row-ish right in front of the catwalk. It was absolutely incredible. Have to take a nap and drive back home to PA, but once all that's done, I (along with all the Coldplayers around me) have a lot of amazing pictures/videos to upload!

So cool! Glad you had a great time!

We will definitely be looking forward to pictures/videos. Thanks!

[gvargas]

haha! panties! I would love to see Chris's face! :laugh3:

Priceless...it reminds me of the last "Bachelor" show here where a lady gave him some panties...he was shocked

[Mimixxx]

Amazing! Can't wait.

[polkahard]

Oh, and so everyone knows, they soundchecked acoustic Yellow (which apparently didn't go on air). And I have that fully captured on my camera. A definite Youtube link in a few hours!!

[notlost92]

Yay, can't wait to hear firsthand experiences!

And yeah, out of all places, the Today Show is not the coolest place to fling undergarments. It's like all of the stuff people threw at the Beatles- when George said he liked Jelly Babies and then they were all attacked by them at every concert :P

[Ultravioletlight25]

OMG they are going to air one more song!!!

[ColdplayBirdsFly]

^ He caught the panties and then once he realized what they were, dropped them with a disgusted face, eyes bulging.
yeah, i know, that really is gross!

Thank you to everyone who'll upload their vids and share their stories!!! :)

[EnglishSilk]

Looked like Chris and co. was having a good time there though, sweating like pigs and all.....think they enjoyed it more than at least half of that zombie crowd!

:veryangry2:(gets irritated at the "weeeee, loookie at meeeeee, i`m on tvvvvv!!! crowds)

[halokiti]

Is this panty and bra throwing a new Coldplay tradition, like throwing squid at a Red Wings game. Do I have to bring some undergarmets with me for the next show I'm going to? White panties with a red 'V' on it.

[gvargas]

^You probably will have too! :)


^ He caught the panties and then once he realized what they were, dropped them with a disgusted face, eyes bulging.
yeah, i know, that really is gross!

Thank you to everyone who'll upload their vids and share their stories!!! :)

Haha...this hilarious! I can't get enough of it. :laugh3::cool:

[notlost92]

How did I miss this panty invasion?? I was glued to the TV screen! :stunned:

[Cris_Santos]

^ He caught the panties and then once he realized what they were, dropped them with a disgusted face, eyes bulging.
yeah, i know, that really is gross!



:laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3:

[Cris_Santos]

Thank you very very much!! :heart:

[Mimixxx]

All the vids are up now:

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/25409438#25409438

[Ultravioletlight25]

Are they playing another song?

Yes, they will be showing another song on TV

[The Mad Hatter]

Anyway. . . .just wanted to point out

And the Al Roker dance!!

[notlost92]

Hooray, the vids are up! Maybe now I can see these flying panties...

Are you sure they're showing another song? Cause I didn't hear that when I was watching...

[Montreal]

I'm from Montreal, Canada .. is it normal that I can't see???

[nkydickson]

did I miss them answering the questions we sent in ?!!???
And this wasss sooo worth getting up early for GOD I LOVE COLDPLAY
P.S. as if Guy doesn't look good enough -he looks drop dead gorg in HD

[nkydickson]

oh yeah the Gwen look alike was funny

[Cris_Santos]

I'm watching the interview now and Guy looked sooooo happy answering his question! Loooooooved it! *Gonna watch it a thousand times* :P

[dotty biscotti]

Hahaaaa the panty thing was so hilarious! He caught them and immediately dropped them in disgust.

[Mimixxx]

I can't believe that woman called Jonny Guy :P

[Ultravioletlight25]

Hooray, the vids are up! Maybe now I can see these flying panties...

Are you sure they're showing another song? Cause I didn't hear that when I was watching...

Yep, they keep saying they have one more song that they will show on tv. :)

[notlost92]

You can't see at all or you can't see the show? ;)

Well, that was quite enjoyable, now I'm rewatching it. I saw the panties- poor Chris! "People are getting undressed now", haha

[Cris_Santos]

I'm wondering it the tall guy in the middle is Chelsea's brother

[EnglishSilk]

looking forward to all the gangs stories, hope they all had an amazing time!

[ColdplayBirdsFly]

Ah, I missed that!

More highlights:
- Jonny's painted guitars, Guy's painted bass, Will's kooky cool drumset, and Chris' bouncy hair!
- Chris' flub-up at the beginning of Viva La Vida
- Jonny's hat and original Fender Telecaster Thinline sunburst colour guitar (instead of that Gibson...haha)
- Someone's sign that read " I Heart JB + Coldplaying" !!!!
- The fact that the boys played 42! Woo!
- Chris' animal/war cries during 42

- The Inverted Black and White Keys on Chris' Piano! Super Cool! :)

[Cris_Santos]

:lol: LOL :lol: Can't stop laughing at Chris grabbing the panties :lol: The girl made a perfect shot :laugh3: :laugh3:

[Ultravioletlight25]

LOL , I just saw the panty incident on msnbc.com. LOL it's funny how it lands in Chris's hand and then he drops it immediately when he realizes what it is. :laugh3:

Poor Chris!

[dotty biscotti]

His face is PRICELESS when he realizes they are someone's underwear

[Ultravioletlight25]

They are now showing "In my place" on TV

[Cris_Santos]

Awwww ti-ti-tired and underprepared :heart:

[girl_in_the_band_tshirt]

anyone on the east coast know what time they started airing the concert? makes it easier for recording :nice:

[Ultravioletlight25]

AWW Chris told some of the crowd to sing but they aren't singing :dozey:

[dotty biscotti]

The crowd was singing, I think they muted the crowd in some odd way. There are a couple of short videos on youtube already

[notlost92]

Yeah, the sound was all off, I'm pretty sure the crowd was singing- he wouldn't have done it for both choruses if he wasn't getting a response...

[kmm1482]

FINALLY saw a Coldplay gig LIVE on tv instead of hearing about it then downloading the video :) Yaaaay for stateside gigs!!!!!!!! :)
Chris got QUITE a collection! First a bra, then undies! "People are getting undressed now!"

[gvargas]

With all the fans that were there...I can't believe that they wouldn't be singing...

everyone seemed excited

[Mimixxx]

I just watched In My Place, can't believe he ran into the crowd. Haha.

[Ultravioletlight25]

Yeah, the sound was all off, I'm pretty sure the crowd was singing- he wouldn't have done it for both choruses if he wasn't getting a response...

Okay, cool! I was concerned that the were just standing there and not singing. I would have loved to be there. :)

[Ultravioletlight25]

I just watched In My Place, can't believe he ran into the crowd. Haha.

Yes, you could definitely tell that Chris was having a great time. He was running around and laughing. He was so cute :)

[notlost92]

The crowd was singing, I think they muted the crowd in some odd way. There are a couple of short videos on youtube already

Yeah, I just found two on Youtube and the crowd sounds really loud! I guess that's why Chris didn't seem as frustrated with the crowd as we were...

[jjpak]

i thought the show sounded better than msg..but it was so much fun. thanks for the vip passes ian!! it just made my week..msg and the today show. the soundcheck was great, they looked so relaxed and chill all smiles. :)

[gvargas]

I just watched In My Place, can't believe he ran into the crowd. Haha.


He ran into the crowd! :shocked2:

[Mimixxx]

Yeah right at the end, some guy who worked there seemed to saying something to him but he just shrugged and ran off down this narrow walkway between all the fans. With security running after him looking panicked. :lol:

[IneedYou23]

There was a shot when chris ran to the back of the crowd towards the end of in my place where it was Chris on the tv and all you could see was the massive crowd around him.Thats was a cool shot!!

[TimeIsOnYourSide]

thats awesome. Hope somebody uploads it

[gvargas]

I loooooooooooooooove that! :) I am glad he is taking risks! :cool:

Looking panicked :laugh3:

[Mimixxx]

thats awesome. Hope somebody uploads it

All here my friend http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/25409438#25409438

[Mimixxx]

Amazing Justin :nice: How close were you?

[dotty biscotti]

amazing and after the thing when the crew people were cleaning up they gave me a pick!!!! squee!!!!!


Whose pick do you think it was? Thats so cool!

[polkahard]

I almost got a legit setlist off the stage, too. But I got a good look at a few and that said that they actually should have played another song (well really, two) on air. It said the setlist would end with Politik/Trouble.

Wish we got to hear that! Not complaining though!

[winigwl]

i was like about 20 feet away i guess.
i didn't realize it but chelsea was standing right in front of me the whole time. :lol: we spoke for a minute at the end but then i had to go so i didn't tlak to any other people. :disappointed:

[Mimixxx]

Aww I was scouring the audience for anyone I recognised but didn't see anyone :(

[xneverwherex]

ill add some pics and videos later but im at work now :(

just watched the stuff up on the today show and yeah - it seems they had to mute out the crowds (makes sense its live tv). cant wait to see some of the stuff posted on youtube. the vip section was huge and at points it seemed like no one was into it, but that really wasnt the case.

awesome show. they sounded amazing. loved the soundcheck. was so glad i made it. this sooooooooooo made day 1 of being 34!

and thanks to the person who let me stand in front of them (im quite sure you use this board) :) some woman on the other side of me (who was a guest of someone at nbc) decided to give me a lecture on courtesy and saying its rude to push and shove. i politely said 'im sorry, but i didnt even touch you' and thought to myself, but i will be jumping around when coldplay performs. i dont think she was happy at all. f- her!

i had the time of my life.

[gvargas]

Wow! Some people were really close then!:o

Note to self: Wear a sling or cast so that I can get interviewed by Chris next time!:D

[LVI56]

It's on right now for the west coast, just saw where Chris caught the panties...the look on his face is priceless!

["*"*Claire*"*"]

I just noticed they were talking about the bra on the third part of the Today Show and they mentioned it was someone's daughter who works there that threw it.

[jjpak]

i took about 250 photos and am uploading them right now.I wished there weren't people in front of us. otherwise you could have seen my face the whole time.

[i heart chrismartin]

Always one to brighten the day of others when he can, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin made a young, injured fan’s day during an appearance on the Today Show on Friday (June 27).

According to press on hand, “The singer was rehearsing ahead of a live performance on the popular breakfast program in New York City, when he noticed a young boy named Lucas Bell in the front row with his arm in a cast.”

From there, “Martin stopped singing, reached down and grabbed Bell - the son of Today show executive producer Jim Bell - lifting him up onto the stage before grilling him about how he broke his arm.”

After the heartfelt moment, Chris and his fellow Coldplay rockers performed a string of hits for the thousands of fans who gathered outside the show’s Rockefeller Center studio - with hosts Meredith Vieira and Ann Curry kissing onstage while holding up some lingerie - like true rock star groupies!

Coldplay invited an injured child onto the stage ahead of their performance on the Today Show in New York this morning (June 27th).

The fan, who was in the front row of the audience outside the Rockefeller Centre, was picked out by frontman Chris Martin because he was wearing a sling.

He was then asked up onto the stage so that Martin could ask him all about his injury.

Coldplay performed a string of hits to a packed New York audience during their exclusive performance and at one point had to dodge a bra that was thrown onto stage by one over enthusiastic fan.

[ryann7739]

That pic of Chris with his tongue out is brilliant

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

as far as i know, no band meetings. when i first got there at 6AM, some other people were holding some signed things, but i think that might have been from WAY earlier.

i wasn't right at the front, but lori, mel, and angie were!!! we met up afterwards, but we all got kicked out of rockefeller center the second the thing was over, so no group picture :sad:

and i was standing next to justin the ENTIRE TIMEEEE but didn't know. we found out 10 mins before we left who each other was. my god.

but...JUSTIN AND ANGIE GOT GUITAR PICS

[Lore]

I've just seen pictures so far but it looks like it was great :)

[Denise]

we met up afterwards, but we all got kicked out of rockefeller center the second the thing was over, so no group picture :sad:
God how much I hate when people rush you to go away :angry:
Well at least you got to meet with them, it's always great to finally see the people you talk to nearly every day :nice:

[kaylaTRON]

Oh my gosh, this concert was awesome to watch on TV being there must have been insane!
The pics are amazing!

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

working on uploading about 1/2 of the pics to facebook now, but it's being crap.

and i dont know about youtube vids...i think that takes AAAAGES to upload, and i have about 20 of them, and i only have about 4 hours to do all this in.

[jjpak]

I didn't take any video because it was too hard with people in front of me blocking my view..but here's the link to the pics:

thanks for sharing :D

[LiquidSky]

Hey guys! Just a quick hello. My Internet finally works. I'm still in NYC. The show was amazing but I think most of us got confused as they would then stop & we couldn't really what was live & we couldn't hear what they were saying at all. I've been officially been up for more than 35 hrs! There was so much going on! A girl even fainted.....3xs! I started eating chocolate like crazy & drinking water so I wouldn't pass out too. Jonny was so cute and Guy wow! Another guy that was hot was the guy who gave me my passes AND I had just missed COLDPLAY a couple of seconds before going in to the building! Damn it! Right now I'm at the bridge to go see the statue of liberty but still have to wait another hr. My battery is running low so read u guys later. I still haven't check-in to my hotel.

[LiquidSky]

haha so who threw the panties?


Two teenage girls

[Lore]

thanks for posting, Jo :nice:

[gvargas]

You haven't checked into your hotel? You're crazy girl...sounds like a good time. Can't wait to see pics.

I once went to an outdoor TV concert for Good Morning America here in Chicago...the sound was way lower (softer) live then it was on TV...I don't know if they do that on purpose as to get the sound right when they air it...

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

i posted a rambling start of me trying to explain my experience in the live section :D

[Stuckonsquare]

Love the photos! Can we save them or no? xD
haha

[Death Hill]

I DVR'd it, can't wait to see it!

[CRYSTAL]

I am uploading my pictures of Today show with my husband pics too.

my husband even touched Chris while he ran back!

i got there yesterday by 1:00 AM

and camped there whole night without sleep.


as time permits i'll upload my videos with soundcheck and entire interview and gig from the show!

and i saw Chris so near while he's running to back!

he's just so amazing in person to see!

i even tried to sing all the vocals standing on the Today show barrier there with Chris when ever he turned at us while singing!

Links Removed.

i'll upload my videos into megaupload here!

[crawlinwithin]

i thought that was a very fun performance, wish i could've been there! they played some great songs too, quite unexpected to hear clocks.

[jasmynebirch]

I went with JBella. We were in the second row with Coldplay Joe and Shawndoorman (sp??). It sounded much better live then it did when I watched what I DVR'ed at home. We met quite a few other Coldplayers. Thanks for the great time!

Hi Jazz. Glad you made it home safely. I was going to call you. I am beat, severely sleep deprived (over 30hrs). My feet, ankles and legs are in agony but it was worth it and I'd do it again without hesitation!!!!

Ian, thank you again so much! I really had the best time of my life. Really, I did. As an avid music lover (Coldplay in particular) it was pretty amazing to see how things come together before a show. You know, seeing things we wouldn't otherwise see. I have a lot of respect for the stagehands, etc. The soundcheck itself was more than I had ever expected and the show itself was just phenomenal.

I will upload my pictures shortly. I need to rest up a bit but they are on their way. Thank you!!!

And it was lovely meeting some fellow Coldplaying.com members. We are an extraordinary group!!!

And thank you to the band for the show. I can't say anything that hasn't been said before. I just love them.

[polkahard]

I posted this in the live section, but thought I'd add it over here, too!

Here's the best pictures! I have 100, so I'll hardly put them ALL up, but I'm sharing the best!

ALL PHOTOS THANKS TO IAN. Because without those VIP passes, I wouldn't have had the time of my life!!

[coldplay_is_louve.]

Aww!!! Chris is so cute for inviting that kid up on staage! Well, he's always cute. ;)

That was crazy how some wierd chick threw that bra on stage. Chris was so innocent about it and shook it off his hand like it was contaminated. He couldve acted like a pervert and kept it, but nope. :D

Ugh, he's just perfect isn't he?

Wonderful show though. The songs sounded fantastic! God I love them!!!!

All hail coldplay!!!

[Hotplay007]

that last one makes chris look like a fish. lol. what a cutie. the entire time i was thinking, "come on chris, just do something to jonny. just..... do something"

[Shawndorman]

this was by far one of the greatest moments of my life. What a great way to see Coldplay LIVE for the first time!! It was tons of fun!! I met some amazing Coldplayers...Jasmyne, Coldplay Joe, JBella...it was fantastic....all the painful heat and standing around (and unnecessary footage of Boy George) was completely worth it!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH IAN!! I LOVE YOU!!! Hopefully I'll be able to see everyone again sooner rather than later!

[Hotplay007]

.... WHY DID ANN CURRY KISS MEREDITH VIEIRA...:stunned:

[zeoir]

Aw i'm so happy that you had good time, guys :nice:

i'm only a tiny bit jealous :lol:

Overwhelming love of Coldplay led them to do drastic things.

in the mean time ppl that waited outside all night were treated like crap and put behind a bunch of ppl who didn't give a flycing fuck who coldplay were -_-
but.. i will not be a debbie downer. im trying to concentrate on how amazing the actual performance was<3

well Ian was nice because everyone seemed satisfied with their passes. but one question...what was the purpose of the VIP pass...I was standing to the left side of the stage when some production guy just moved me into the 'vip pen' and there were alot of people without passes...including me =\.


btw i just noticed. maybe they just took them off =x

[Texasluvsjonny]

Yeah I did! I was so excited!!!

It's amazing how much the TV show didn't do them justice. They were SO much better in person than they were on the show. Especially 42. That song almost made me DIE it was so good.

Oh, and I'm in the Al pic, too!

To: Polkahard

thanks for the video of yellow. I was starting to record that, then all of a sudden my memory card reads 'full'. during that performance, i was erasing all the crappy photos and videos.

[jbarry5503]

Well I just made it back to DC from NYC. What a morning. Thanks again Ian for the chance of a lifetime. The soundcheck was just amazing. I have about 45 minutes of video of the soundcheck that I hope to get up on the net tomorrow. The quality is pretty good and it's a chance to really see the guys as themselves. Theres even a chance to see Phil a few times on stage.

Until then!!!

[victoriacp33]

HEY!!!!!
I GOT UP EXTRA EXTRA EARLY TOO SEE THEM....!!!:P
AT TH TODAY SHOW..... MY SECOND TIME EXPERIENCING COLDPLAY.
THEY WERE REALLY GOOOD.. I JUST WISHED I WAS TALLER SO I COULD HAD HAVE A BETTER VIEW....LOL...
OH MY FRIEND CAME ALONG WITH ME TOOO.... I THINK SHE IS NOW A COLDPLAY.... LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD.......
BYW.. MY PIC.. CAME OUT BAD.... BUT THE VIDEOS CAME OUT GREAT YOU CAN HEAR ME SCREAMING ALOUD A MILE AWAY.. LOL
HAVE A GOOD MORNING AND A GOOD NIGHT.....!!!

[polkahard]

So who was the girl and guy next to me whose names I never managed to catch? Homemade tye-dye T-shirts? Going absolutely crazy next to me on TV (in a good way, obviously!)?

I'm pretty sure they said they were from Coldplaying!

[KissesBirds]

I was there thanks to Angie:angel: and Ian :angel: THANK YOU BOTH!!!



First of all, I have to say this: the guys are even hotter in real life. I didn't think that was possible. Chris's eyes glowed blue, and Jonny's eyes glowed green/blue. They are so bright in the daylight. What a treat to see them for the first time EVER like this! It was so worth travelling 725 miles to do this.


Most of my pics are blurry, but here are the better ones:

First of all, I have to say this: the guys are even hotter in real life. I didn't think that was possible. Chris's eyes glowed blue, and Jonny's eyes glowed green/blue. They are so bright in the daylight. What a treat to see them for the first time EVER like this! It was so worth travelling 725 miles to do this.


Most of my pics are blurry, but here are the better ones:

Lori! Glad you made it back safely. Love these pics!! A lot of mine are blurry.

To Do List: Get a new camera!!!

OK I'll start at the beginning.
I was at work Thursday night and was reading through this thread looking for someone that wanted to go but didn't win. I had asked Mary, but she could go, so I wanted to make sure the pass got used. Lori (KissesBirds) had posted she wanted to go, so I sent her a PM and told her to call me if she still wanted to go. She called me just as I was leaving work for the airport and said hells yes! and she would sort out a flight and get back to me. I got to NYC around 3:30 and during my cab ride into town, I get a text saying she will be there that night and that Mel is also coming. :stunned: By the time I got to the hotel, I had been awake for around 37 hours, but had to go check out the area before I could even think about sleeping. My hotel is a block from the Plaza, so I walk over and right in front of the GE building they are building the huge wooden thing that is like 20 feet tall. I start to panic thinking this is the stage, but that god it's not. I start asking around about where we have to sign in and how early can we do that, but no one there can answer shit. :dozey: I walk around until I find the address listed on the email so I know exactly where we need to be in the morning and then go back to my hotel to get some rest because I'm about to fall over. Mel calls me and says she managed to find a way to go and after giving away her winning passes (LIKE A DUMB ASS!) has begged and pleaded all day and some nice person has taken sympathy upon her and she will be their +1. Her flight gets in around 11:30 and she'll call me when she gets into town. I try and sleep, then the rerun of the Daily Show comes on and I'm too excited. Finally get some sleep.

Mel calls me and says they are both down at 30 Rock and I go down there to meet them. Coldplay's truck with all their equipment had just pulled up. There are already people in the general admission line and we walk around. Mel had been grilling security peeps to get info about the VIP area, number of people it held, etc. Some security guy tells her that the VIP area will hold around 400 people and that they will put all the pass holders in first, then any GA people it takes to fill it. 400! :freak: must be down there early!. We go chill at my room for a while, then Mel starts getting twitchie so we head back.

We see a few other people hanging around by where we have to line up and so we join them. It was jbarry5503 and her guest. That was around 3:30am. The security guy comes out and tells us we are there WAY too early and that we should find some food and a bathroom because once you are in the pit, if you leave you can't go back. There is a 24 hour Deli across the street, so food is there, but Micky D's a block away is the closest toilet. People start to trickle in. Mel is a nervous wreck. :laugh3: Someone strums a guitar cord, she runs down to the corner where the stage is being set up to see what's happening. 5 minutes later, a drum beat....there goes Mel. :P It's 4 am Mel...Will is not down there setting up his own drums! :lol: Security man comes back out and gives us the whole make sure you go potty before we go in speech again :dozey: and then tell us important info. This is the door where guests and TV people enter! He asks us to please stay back and don't rush at anyone and if they come over to see us, then that's OK. OMG! The band will be going in right there! Now we all excited and we get shit out to get stuff signed. Mel and Lori practice their "thrust CD cover at band with one hand, while taking picture with other hand' moves. :lol:
Where we line up is an entry way about 15 feet wide. We are on one side and I notice on the other side is a "couple" consisting of a man and a tranny. The tranny is talking about how it wants to meet the band. I think about Chris getting flashed by the trannies while making Fix You and we all laugh about Chris being a tranny magnet. Then some paps show up. :dozey: Great, Chris will shoot right past us to get away from these jerks. :cry: Everyone tries to think of something semi intelligent to say in case they do show up but Lori decides she will just scream. NO Jonny is afraid of screaming...Jonny no like screamie! :angry: :P Security man comes back and puts a barricade up to keep tranny and paps back but we are not blocked. :D Every car that arrives, we all jump up. Mel is freaking because too many people have "fluffy hair" thru the tinting windows and she thinks it Chris every time. :lol:

Matt, Jonny's guitar tech, walks past us to go over to the deli. When he comes out I go and ask him if the band will have a sound check. He says yes around 6:30 and we will be able to hear it from where we are. :D But at 6, the NBC people come out and start taking people into the VIP area, so we miss any arrivals, but we will get to see the sound check and not just hear. :dance:

Although we were first in line, there are people in the pit when we get there. We are basically on the second row, but in front of me are 3 little girls aged 6, 8 and 12. Yah people that I can see over. Will is first to get there. Then Jonny and Guy come out together. Chris is last. There is lots of technical discussion, instrument placement upon the stage discussions and what not. Chris is very funny and loose. Jonny doesn't look so happy to be up at this hour of the day. :P Guy is taking pictures of us, taking pictures of him. :wink3: Then Mel spots him first. PHIL! OMG he is hot! :stunned: They run thur songs, then discuss stuff, then move stuff around....but it's the best part of the whole day. I don't know about any one else, but the sound check was wayyyyyyyy better than the real show.

Just before the real show starts, security peeps come out and start talking about moving the barricades. We aren't sure if they are moving us back :angry:, or closer :D? This is not done but the reason why is because they bring in a whole group of people to stand in front of the VIP area inside where the stage is. IN FRONT OF US! :veryangry: They are "family" of the producers. They have several kids, including the one that Chris brings up on stage) and adults. The adults come stage at the center, blocking the 3 little girls in front of me and the kids are next to them on each side. Some lady asks the women if they will move and allow the kids to stand in the center so the little girls can see and the bitch tells her NO!. What a ****. The little girls are crying because now they can't see. Rich douche bags suck!

When you are there you can't hear what is going on in the broadcast. When they came on stage to interview the band they placed a monitor near us so I could see to move my sign to make sure it got seen. :D After the show, Chelsea come over and met us and we were going to take a group pic, but the NBC dude ran us off. :angry:

Here is the link to my pics and my partial video of Lost. I still have to up load my longer videos because they are over 100MB and won't fit on that site.

When I was watching the show, this was exactly what I thought had happened. Gnahh, stuff like that is so fucked up. Sucks shite.
Anyway! Thanks everyone for sharing your stories, it's lovely to read them. Great pics, too!
& Yay for Phil being there. :]

[CookyMnstr]

[Ladybug]

This one (http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w171/angie7581/Coldplay%20Today%20Show/IMG_1307.jpg)'s such an Angie picture, btw. :laugh3:

Did they talk to you guys during the sound check at all?

[Cris_Santos]

And your pics :shocked2: They're superb!!

Thanks for also taking pics of Phil :wink3:, Matt and Miller :D

[nkydickson]

Thanks for the pics and story everyone that went is\was sooo lucky !

[Texasluvsjonny]

We gang screamed "JONNY" and he smiled. :P
Chris said a few things, but they were busy sorting out the show details.
I also have pics of Bash, Will drum tech. Hoppy, their other tech is in one of the pics with Guy.

[Ladybug]

I love Hoppy. :D [ /random]

[Cris_Santos]

I love Hoppy. :D [ /random]

Have you ever talked to him?

[Ladybug]

Chris said a few things, but they were busy sorting out the show details.

Ah, I see. I guess TV show environments are not the greatest for bonding with The Fans...

[Ladybug]

Have you ever talked to him?

Only v. briefly. He's cool, though. Plus, he looks like David Caruso. =P

[Texasluvsjonny]

Have you ever talked to him?I don't think I have talked with Hoppy. I always talk with Matt, because it's like talking to Jonny once removed. :P Bash is super nice and I have talked with him many times and he usually gives us bottles of water when he brings them out to put them out for the band before the show. :) I have spoken with Miller once and he was really nice. Told him how much we all love his posts and insider info on their site.

[dotty biscotti]

Is Guy even hotter up close?

[KissesBirds]

P.S. I'm the first to find Phil, then told Mel. Yay me. :rolleyes:


Anyways....here is my very best video ever. Not because of clarity, it's a bit blurry. But it's Jonny's sex face during the Oooohhhhs of Viva. You can actually hear him singing an octave lower than Chris and the others on my little camera. I can't believe the sound is actually so there. But check it. Get a load of the way he smirks then sexily raises his eyes after some people scream. *dies*
