[sarah**]

does it mean they`re gonna perform more than one song? :-o

I doubt it, but let's hope they play Clocks!

[busybeeburns]

I hope they play more than one, but Clocks definately, they'll be all out to plug their next single, even nice bands like Coldplay do things like that 8)

[';']

when they were on david letterman they were suppose to play their latest single and at the time it was clocks. they still played in my place :?

I'm so sure they will play clocks. I'm also positive they're going to win a grammy. I was voting for them a lot and I would always go and look at the stats, and they would always be winning. :D

[carrie3078]

OH that is so cool! At least one great band is guaranteed to be performing. And I'm sure they will only play one song :sad: oh well.

[Guy'sChick]

the more reason to enjoy the show :)

[';']

since i never watch my tv i put a post it on the screen reminding me :D 8) when it is going to come on.

[weedy_gonzalez]

[Guy'sChick]

well we'll see eh :shrug: as long as i see them im happy! any song would be cool! :shrug:

[';']

well we'll have to wait a little less than a month to see the date. i'm sure it'll be cleared up before the day is actually here

[weedy_gonzalez]

GRAMMYS gig
Q: I heard COLDPLAY will perform on the GRAMMYS. Is it true? & if so will they play CLOCKS or In MY Place? Personally I think it'll be cool to play CLOCKS, because I've seen COLDPLAY perform IN MY PLACE on Letterman, Leno, Conan & i think CLOCKS is a cool song, but it hasn't received much attention as a single in the states.

A: They will be performing at the Grammy's, but you'll be pleased to know that it'll be NEITHER of the above tracks. Watch to see.

[Guy'sChick]

ooohhh :o politik is a great song :D

[weedy_gonzalez]

daylight daylight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guy'sChick]

dont count on it that they will play that

[weedy_gonzalez]

[Guy'sChick]

[';']

that would be cool

i know ppl who can make them into mp3s the quality has to be good though

or i could do it for you

i almost have the whole houston show ready for a disc

[Guy'sChick]

yeah that would be great!!!!

[';']

i'm not the one doing it, but i'm bet it could be done

[Guy'sChick]

ok cool let me know if so :D

[Hicksy]

im going to record the Earls Court gig - or at least try :shock:

[Guy'sChick]

:D i wanna go

[Hicksy]

well u never know - your wish may yet be granted :D

[Guy'sChick]

cool :D

[';']

i dont think it would be too possible if i said i wanted to go

[Hicksy]

awwww :sad:

[';']

exactly :?

[Guy'sChick]

you should definetly come to the uk sometime tho or me to the states that would be cool! :D

[';']

i will be in europe this summer. for two weeks i'll be in mostly central italy.

[Guy'sChick]

cool italy is great :D

[';']

yeah....

back to the subject
ah i cant wait to see coldplay on the grammys!!!!

[Guy'sChick]

yeah me neither :P

[handle]

I bought tickets to the Viewing Party. I'm concerned that the show will only be on screen and that they will not actually be in person. Can anyone confirm this?

[';']

why would they not be there. they will be in that part of the states at that time right :?

[handle]

There is the Theater at MSG where the Viewing Party is. Then there is the MSG arena where the awards are. Viewing Partry tickets are for the Theater and not the Arena. Will Coldplay play live in the Arena or in the Theater?

[';']

oh ok i see what your talking about. i'm guessing they'll most likely be in the theater with all the celebrities and you will probably be seeing them on a screen. just a guess. but i'd say that's most likely

[Chrissy]

isnt it usually the first one they do
they played politik first at the one i went to - it was coooool!!

[Guy'sChick]

oh well :shrug: yeah its cool live

BIG BAND
British quartet Coldplay have enjoyed a number of rushes this year with the phenomenal success of their sophomore effort, A Rush Of Blood To The Head. That strong effort garnered them two GRAMMY nominations this year — one for Best Alternative Album and one for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals ("In My Place" is the album's nominated track). At Saturday morning rehearsals, Coldplay showed just how big a sound they can make when they ran through their song "Politik" with the majestic, orchestral backing of the 86-piece New York Philharmonic, who were led by the baton of GRAMMY-winning composer/arranger Michael Kamen. The grand sound of this large-scale collaboration was entirely effective, and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin was all smiles at rehearsal's end. While the orchestra was on stage, they also rehearsed with conductor David Robinson their own bit of GRAMMY night performance spotlight — the "Mambo" section of Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story. The Philharmonic will also receive some extra GRAMMY week recognition: Saturday night the venerable organization will be honored by the Recording Academy with a 2003 Trustees Award. (2/22)
