[3-Aug-2011] Coldplay @ Samsung AT&T Summer Krush Concert Series, Los Angeles

[Yellow Strawberry]

Hey is there any openers? My husband keeps asking.. lol

[gidget]

For those curious what section 18 looks like...this is probably it. It's from a UCLA graduation. The next photo in the stream looks like the same kind of seating chart. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jshyun/2502599767/

[iduran20]

I emailed the Summer Krush gmail and asked if any of the free tickets were going to be in any obstructed view sections. This is the response I just got:

"Samsung AT&T Summer Krush to me

show details 5:33 PM (1 minute ago)

Hi,

As far as we know none of our allotment are obstructed view. It should be a great concert!"

Awesome!!!! I'm driving over from AZ and super excited, especially since we all we actually be able to see the stage lol. :)

Thanks for the info. :)

Hey is there any openers? My husband keeps asking.. lol

I think it's just Coldplay. :)

[y3110w]

Hey is there any openers? My husband keeps asking.. lol

They might have some band opening. They have this opening act contest (http://openingact.samsungsummerkrush2011.com/) going on, and when I went last year they had the band that won perform before the main act.

[Caroline]

So I forgot my parking pass and they won't issue me another one. Good thing my friend works at UCLA or I would be extra pissed.

[laxwatcher]

It's funny how I was just at the UCLA tennis center a few days ago for the Farmer's Classic ATP tennis tournament, but I still forget what view section 18 had.

Here's another picture I found, so I guess there is no obstructed view at all.

[Yellow Strawberry]

That last map has a different layout than the one used for Coldplay on Ticketmaster.. Guess we will find out tomorrow! :D

[gidget]

Judging by this photo http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/los-angeles-tennis-center-ucla/view/?service=1, I'm very sure section 18 won't be behind the stage. So you can all put your fears to rest. http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/los-angeles-tennis-center-ucla/view/?service=1

[ameeps]

Hey guys, I won free tickets and i'm really confused. The free tickets from samsungsummerkrush say the concert starts at 6:30 PM and that you should show up 30 minutes before. However, on official tickets from ticketmaster that I bought it says the concert starts at 8PM. Can anyone help explain this? I emailed summerkrush but have not yet heard back?

EDIT:
I have a friend who works at UCLA. According to them they were asked to go to the concert as a seat-filler and their name is on a list. Does this make any sense? The concert definitely sold out and they are not lying.

[Bestrada23]

I tried and tried and never won the free tickets!! :P Oh wells... Section 15 here I come! :D

We have to get the child situated and then drive from Rancho Cucamonga.

Cool. I'm driving from Rancho Cucamonga too!

[Yellow Strawberry]

Cool. I'm driving from Rancho Cucamonga too!

:D We are actually in N. Pomona, but have to drop the child off in Rancho.. hehe We did live out there a few years ago. :)

Maybe for single seats? I have no idea!

[gidget]

This video is from last year's Grammy Benefit with Keith Urban. It's the view from behind the pole in section 18.

this is another view from behind the pole closer to the end of section 18. looks like section 18 will be getting a side view of the stage and GA is f*ckin CLOSE!

[Corkus]

Have fun, guys. :) I'll be in LA in the morning, then flying out of state while being upset that the one week of the year I'm not in LA is when Coldplay comes.

[gotcheese2768]

i don't think i am going to show up early. even tho i won free tickets. my friends get off of work at 4 so i'm we should be on the freeway by 445. which means i will arrive right at 6ish. but i don't think there will be a problem if we are like 15 mins late right?? i mean for the won tix..

[Twisted__Logic]

Any stream?

[LFDianne]

Today! Tracy, my son, his friend and I are leaving here at 1. Depending on traffic, we should be there about 2:30. I'm bringing glowsticks, too.

[iduran20]

:vuvuzela:
It's today!! :dance:
Hope to see you guys there! :D
I woke up way too early today for my liking, but I just couldn't go back to sleep. :P

Have fun everyone! I'll try to check in throughout the day as I'm there waiting. :)

[y3110w]

Can't wait! I have actual stuff to do today otherwise I would have a Coldplay listening party in my room right now. :P I won't be there till 5 or something, so I hope there is no need to line up early. Might wear my VLV shirt. :)

[AVSean]

So excited for tonight! Would love updates from those who arrive early (iDuran!) as to where the line is, size of the line, any indication of seat location, etc. Unfortunately, I am stuck at work until 4pm and then heading up to hopefully arrive by 5:30...

Crossing fingers they play a full set...can't wait to hear the first note of MX (assuming they start with that). Wonder if there will be the fireworks they have been using at the festivals?? So many questions!!!

[iduran20]

^sure thing. :nice:

Also, I just thought it was kind of funny how last time Coldplay was in LA they had their catering on a tennis court...this time the concert is on the tennis court. :P

[Jason-DeBord]

Sitting on the plane, waiting to take off... :lol:

See you on the other side!

Jason

[gotcheese2768]

yes updates pls!! if earlier the better then i'll find a way to get there... a train or something. or maybe i i can "steal" my moms car! LOL


SOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!

[chicagopepper]

What time do the doors open?

[AVSean]

What time do the doors open?

6:30

[Caroline]

Do you only need an ID to pick up the free tix? Im giving two friends the tix I won. I have VIP tix, so I'm using those. I'm picking up the free tix, but I want to make sure my friends can get in after I get them.

[bjunior29]

Anyone know for sure what the deal is with the priority tix bought off of ebay?? I was told by one of the ebay vendors that he'll put my name on the priority ticket and as long as that name matches my id then I'm in (so I bought them). However, I recently heard that the original ticket winner's name will also pop up on a scanner when the ticket is scanned and that name must match the name on the ticket. Looking for some info from someone who really knows. Kinda bugging out about not getting in tonight.

[freshexcuse89]

Has anyone seen this? Does this mean new NEW songs?

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/rock-on-tv-preview-coldplay-premiere-new-songs-on-kimmel-20110803

http://assets.rollingstone.com/assets/images/story/rock-on-tv-preview-coldplay-premiere-new-songs-on-kimmel-20110803/1000x306/main.jpg

Coldplay will begin the next stage of their aggressive – if somewhat confusing – plan for promoting their forthcoming fifth album on tonight's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live. The band, who have yet to announce a title or release date for the record, will debut two brand new tunes on the show, which will be filmed on location at the Los Angeles Tennis Center at UCLA. From there, the band will headline Lollapalooza in Chicago on Friday night, make appearances at the Austin City Limits and iHeart Radio festivals in September and then, maybe, actually release a new record.

[Yellow Strawberry]

I think it just means they will be airing the newest songs. As we have seen from the festivals, the new songs have been played and we already have heard them! :D Most people do not go looking for new songs as we do here on Coldplaying! :D

[Twisted__Logic]

[the_escapist]

could be. After all, Rolling Stone says 2 BRAND NEW songs...

[MosesTheMarshmallow]

I will be so pissed if it turns out they're playing two new songs and I chose not to go to this gig. :( On the other hand, they may have meant MM and MTM since those are "2 brand new songs" on the EP?

Any streams, to make me feel better? :lol:

[rafaelchampion]

They won't play MTM anymore.

[MosesTheMarshmallow]

There's no guarantee about that...

[AVSean]

MTM = too slow for a live show, no?

[rafaelchampion]

Chris said iTunes was the last time they would play that live.

[Sleep]

Chris said iTunes was the last time they would play that live.

When did he say that? Not saying you're wrong. I have no idea. Just curious.
I liked it live :(

[rafaelchampion]

"We've never played this song live before and, depending on the next five minutes, may never play it again."
http://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/celebrity/entertainment/monitor/2011/07/review-coldplay-at-the-itunes-festival

We don't know what he thought after the five minutes but he didn't play that again since iTunes... it's strange

[Rvs_009]

Ofcourse it are just 2 from the songs we heard already (Maybe major minus and charlie brown). How do you get people to watch sometime? Advertise in a good way. And this is happening now.

On pinkpop (at the start of the tour) there was also said: we offer you 2 complete new songs!!!!!

It became Major minus and charlie brown, for the 90% off the people who didn't see rock am ring, they were new yes.

[Sleep]

"We've never played this song live before and, depending on the next five minutes, may never play it again."

Oh yeah. We'll that song kind of fit the little gig they were playing. Ever since then they've been playing much larger shows. Maybe when they start playing the small venues again they'll play it again.

[MosesTheMarshmallow]

MTM = too slow for a live show, no?

Not a very strong argument because MTM gets pretty loud; not to mention: Us Against the World, the Scientist, Life is for Living.

"We've never played this song live before and, depending on the next five minutes, may never play it again."

I don't think that's something to be taken literally - Chris was just self-deprecating about the song, basically, telling everyone it sucks even though it clearly didn't. Fuji and Splendour aren't really the right concerts to know if they'll play it again...they're festival shows and Coldplay is restricted by that.

[TraceOddity]

Has anyone seen this? Does this mean new NEW songs?

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/rock-on-tv-preview-coldplay-premiere-new-songs-on-kimmel-20110803

MM and M&M are not 'brand new songs'. They're on the EP which is widely available, so I'm betting on NEW songs.But yes, it could be the new ones we've heard at the Festivals. I doubt it from the wording of this.

[CupitorVeritatis]

Just finished making my MX UFO shirt complete with a major minus media patch. Can't wait for tonight :D

[TraceOddity]

I won't be home, so I BEG that someone records!

[chicagopepper]

The RS article clearly states which songs will be on Kimmel:

The band will reportedly play two new songs – the single "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" and "Charlie Brown" – live on location at the Los Angeles Tennis Center at UCLA.

[Jason-DeBord]

Just heard chris singing etiaw sound check

[TraceOddity]

Ah, I missed that article. ETIAW isn't exactly 'brand new' anymore,lol. It'll be cool to hear Charlie in that environment though. :)

[Jason-DeBord]

Just tweeted pic @jason_debord

[Sleep]

So Teardrop and Charlie Brown will both be televised? :O?

[iduran20]

So I've been here for like two hours or so and I was lined up at the wrong spot before so I am currently 4th in the correct line for priority access. The line is on the soccer field. Also we were told that people who have been here the longest get. The better tix. One guy who's setting things up also warned us that they will be able to tell if you bought tix from ebay or stubhub and will not let those people in. I heard some of the souncheck but it was just a prerecorded live version they were testing.

[Caroline]

Omg I see where my seats are. I'm literally front row. I'm dying!

[the_escapist]

seems everything is set for tonight! enjoy everybody!

[AVSean]

Just tweeted pic @jason_debord

Doesn't look like much of a GA pit- I'm guessing the free Samsung Krush tix are not GA...

[wildambition]

Does anyone know what time Coldplay's set starts? My ticket says 8pm and I found some other info that doors are at 6:30, so I'm guessing that Coldplay goes on at 8pm? Can anyone there in line confirm?

[Caroline]

Coldplay goes on at 8pm.

[djakio]

Hey iduran, how long is the line now? Can you keep us updated with any info? I fly in to Burbank @4:30 and we are headed straight there. Thanks!

[admnistramation]

Take some photos of the stage/gear, too!

[Caroline]

I'm going to take a ton of pictures! So many, that they'll be blind by the time the night is over!

[coldplaykb]

I'm going to take a ton of pictures! So many, that they'll be blind by the time the night is over!

:laugh3:

[laxwatcher]

So you aren't allowed to watch it if you bought tickets at Stub Hub? They're not valid? I don't get it.

[y3110w]

Anyone have any update on the line? We're not leaving till 5 so I'm wondering how long is it. Hopefully, there's not much traffic so it'll only be a 20min drive.

[hillman]

So you aren't allowed to watch it if you bought tickets at Stub Hub? They're not valid? I don't get it.

yepp, it seems like tickets are personalized so every ticket has the name of its ticketholder on it.
--> if you buy it via stubhub you get the ticket from another person --> your name and the name on the ticket do not match --> they won't let you in.

that's the theory... but usually nobody checks the names on the tickets at the entrance during such events and so everybody should be able to get in! ;)

[laxwatcher]

Yeah, but I don't want to drive an hour just to be told that I'm not allowed in.

[Juanma]

Can someone explain me what's going on?
Jimmy kimel or a gig?

[y3110w]

Can someone explain me what's going on?
Jimmy kimel or a gig?

It's a gig but 2 songs will be shown in Kimmel. :)

[Caroline]

It's so hot here! I'm leaving in 45 minutes to go pick up my VIP tix!

[Jason-DeBord]

Just tweeted video sound check snippet..

[Caroline]

Jason where are your seats?

[TelAvivTree]

Wow! Just go to UCLA and there was pretty much a private concert going on. They soundchecked Charlie Brown, ETIAW, In My Place, and Hurts Like Heaven. There was only like 10 of us watching! So freaking awesome! Can't wait for tonight!

[Jason-DeBord]

Jason where are your seats?

Sec 204 row 1 seats 3-4

[admnistramation]

How do you get into the venue during a soundcheck?

[Geoffho72]

Talked to the Gate B guard an hour ago. Here is what I know.

Coldplay is already here, already did a sound check earlier
No opening act
Two songs will air on Jimmy Kimmel
There is no PIT. The GA tix have seat numbers and that because there are seats.
At 4PM no one was waiting to get in, they were just setting up the booths for VIP's, etc
Gates will open between 6 and 6:30
They will be selling alcohol.


Hope this helps.

So how long for coldplay ?

[cocomo227]

anyone know what lot # general parking is for tonight?

[LFDianne]

Go here at 3:30. Lineup is on the soccer field. We are 16th in line. We were getting food and missed part of soundcheck, but watched over a fence and saw HLH and IMP. The band were facing the sun and it's hot!

I spoke to the Samsung guy and there is a designated section for free tickets. But he wouldn't tell me where. Tickets will be distributed by your place in line. There are 1500 free tickets. At 5:45, there are about 250 people in line now.

geoff, you update is fanfrickingtastic!!

"They will be selling alcohol. "

[Jack Bauer]

Wait I'm confused. Are they gonna be on Jimmy Kimmel, like in the studio, or is Jimmy Kimmel just gonna show two clips of Coldplay playing live at the UCLA show?

[cocomo227]

Doors must be opening now - any update on how they're doing the freebies?

[Caroline]

I'm at the show sitting front row behind the pit. The roadies are testing everything.

[Christa42]

lucky girl Caroline

[Caroline]

I have the sads that I'm not in the pit. I just hope I can still see well once it's filled up.

[Caroline]

Just confirmed with security the guys are doing a 90 minute show. So yay! I have a severe toothache, so hearing it's a full show makes me pretty happy.

[admnistramation]

Is this a little longer than their festivals?

[Caroline]

No, 90 minutes is always their normal concert length, festival or not.

I just saw Miller walk by.

[Juanma]

No, 90 minutes is always their normal concert length, festival or not.

I just saw Miller walk by.

How cool!
Enjoy For us!!

[Caroline]

I will! I see Dianne and Tracy in their seats *waves*

[Mohamed]

Doors must be opening now - any update on how they're doing the freebies?

Just registered to let you guys know, a lot of people are in the fraud line because their tickets which they got them from CL and Ebay. Some are in tears!!

feel for them!

Some paid as much as $300!! Per ticket!!

That sucks!

[Caroline]

OMG I would have been so mad! Maybe they'll let me in the pit now!

[Mohamed]

OMG I would have been so mad! Maybe they'll let me in the pit now!

My sister and three of her friends are in. She was in the Home Depot concert and Chris walked up to where she was and sang with the crowd sitting almost behind the stage! Just because he's just such a nice human being!!

She almost died! From acute case of happiness!!

[macky]

It's almost 11pm here EST, so that means it's almost 8pm in LA. When does they start?
Please keep updating, we really appreciated.

[rafaelchampion]

Didn't it start yet? Any streams?

[kjones31]

I keep seeing pictures of the area, are there people there? It looks kind of empty..?!?

[admnistramation]

They all went home.

[rafaelchampion]

OK guys, I can listen to people talking on this http://en.1000mikes.com/show/u2brasil_on_air
So I believe it's an amateur stream. Lets see

Yep... you can (barely) hear the Back to the Future song. I guess terrible quality is better than no quality at all, though. :P

[rafaelchampion]

YEEEEEEEES
HLH

[heelsrule1988]

I must say... it is rather interesting hearing Hurts Like Heaven in such low, grainy quality. :P

[admnistramation]

Lol why would they even bother with that stream?

[rafaelchampion]

hahaahaha
It's a telephone call

[heelsrule1988]

I'll be darned... Coldplay still sounds amazing on a grainy telephone call. :D

[Juanma]

What?

Is that the crowd?

[rafaelchampion]

Yellow

[heelsrule1988]

We're all screwed when the phone battery dies. :P

How the flip did you find this stream, rafael?

[rafaelchampion]

OH NO!!! IT CAN'T HAPPEN!

[rafaelchampion]

In My Place

[heelsrule1988]

Taping parts of a television show during a Coldplay concert... got to love it!

...which means Charlie Brown gets played right now! I'm actually going to mute it while it's playing. I mean, I'd much rather hear it on TV... in legit quality. :P

[rafaelchampion]

Charlie Brown ( ????????????)

[dpkekoa]

charlie brown!

[admnistramation]

So cool!!! :)

[rafaelchampion]

Waiting for a brand new song

[rafaelchampion]

ETIAW

[admnistramation]

They're not going to play EITAW and CB twice, are they?

[heelsrule1988]

I unmute it only to hear Every Teardrop is a Waterfall... Jimmy Kimmel Live has completely thrown off this setlist. For one more time, it goes on mute.

Interestingly enough... when I unmuted the sound (I knew exactly when to since I timed it :)), I thought I heard the beginning of Life is for Living after Charlie Brown. That would make sense, considering Life is for Living has been following Charlie Brown in this summer's setlist. Then it abruptly stopped.

[rafaelchampion]

No. I guess it's just this. ETIAW, the end.

[adrian2425]

its over! LOL :P

[dpkekoa]

are they just playing the songs for kimmel first and then doing the rest of the gig?

[macky]

I can hear ETIAW, Im so confused now. Maybe it's for Jimmy

[heelsrule1988]

are they just playing the songs for kimmel first and then doing the rest of the gig?
I would think so.

Now The Scientist... so they simply subbed out Major Minus and Lost! We're back in order now.

[rafaelchampion]

The Scientist

[kjones31]

has to be cause, the show (jimmy kimmel) is about to go on in 15 min on the east coast

[rafaelchampion]

Still waiting for brand new songs XD

[heelsrule1988]

This means Viva la Vida will be followed by Life is for Living, and Fix You will get to end the concert.

[macky]

It has been a long day for me, I'm going to try to get some rest. I'll watch Jimmy when I wake up on my DVR because I think he will only air ETIAW and CB. Good night buddies.

[heelsrule1988]

Never mind... Major Minus stays in the lineup. Here it is!

has to be cause, the show (jimmy kimmel) is about to go on in 15 min on the east coast
Yeah, but Coldplay's songs probably won't air until the end of the show (around 1AM EST). I don't know for sure, but that would be my guess. I'll keep it on anyway, just in case.

If that's true, then this concert will end right before the two songs appear on TV. Perfect timing!

[rafaelchampion]

Major Minus (L)

[kjones31]

Never mind... Major Minus stays in the lineup. Here it is!


Yeah, but Coldplay's songs probably won't air until the end of the show (around 1AM EST). I don't know for sure, but that would be my guess. I'll keep it on anyway, just in case.

oh it will be at the end, but they have to send it over there, and get it put in with the rest of the program.

[heelsrule1988]

Will Lost! still follow Major Minus?

EDIT: Nope, here's God Put a Smile upon Your Face. Such a different setlist because of Jimmy Kimmel Live.

[rafaelchampion]

GPASUYF

[rafaelchampion]

No Lost!. No Shiver....... NEW SONGS???

[heelsrule1988]

When I counted up my demons...

[rafaelchampion]

Everything is not lost. Oh my God I need to sleep today... 1AM here

[admnistramation]

Someone very nasally is close to the phone. She likes to sing along. :3

[#42vera.inês]

http://yfrog.com/f2b37z , Every Teardrop is a Waterfall :D

[rafaelchampion]

She sang "OPEN everything's not lost"... HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
DEAD

TWICE
HJAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
DEAD 2

[#42vera.inês]

Everything is not lost. Oh my God I need to sleep today... 1AM here

5AM here :D

[rafaelchampion]

I have motorcycle classes at 8:40 am and it's just 12º (53.6 Fahrenheit) here

[rafaelchampion]

Us against the world

[heelsrule1988]

Should be time for Us Against the World.

...and it is.

[heelsrule1988]

Prepare for Politik...

[rafaelchampion]

Politik

[#42vera.inês]

It would be so nice if the girl didn't sing! :angry:

[heelsrule1988]

This kid singing is hilarious. :D

Here comes the coolest song transition in Coldplay history!

[rafaelchampion]

Viva La Vida

[#42vera.inês]

Oh no, Viva La Vida! The girl won't shut up! :shocked2:

[rafaelchampion]

Ok they won't play anything new. If they do, I kill someone. I'm going to sleep folks. Good Bye

[heelsrule1988]

They're sticking with the order, so that means Charlie Brown TWICE!

[admnistramation]

Charlie Brown... a second time...

[dpkekoa]

CB again? haha lucky audience

[xmonstermaggie]

They get to hear it TWICE live? So strange/so jealous!

[heelsrule1988]

Assuming the rest of the lineup stays intact... after Life is for Living ends, we'll have the encore: Clocks, then Fix You, then Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall again to end the concert.

[TimeIsOnYourSide]

wait...if they do CB twice, could that mean they're making a video????

Didn't they do Fix You twice in Manchester for the video???

[nancyk58]

Assuming the rest of the lineup stays intact... after Life is for Living ends, we'll have the encore: Clocks, then Fix You, then Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall again to end the concert.


I C - they did play doubles: Charlie Brown and Every Teardrop.

Probably these 2 songs will be shown (the show can pick the best version).

[heelsrule1988]

Amy Winehouse tribute again.

[kjones31]

They are doing the Amy Winehouse tribute again.

[#42vera.inês]

Rehab again!

[heelsrule1988]

Probably these 2 songs will be shown (the show can pick the best version).
No, they'll use the first versions that were played when Jimmy was there... they can't show the playing of Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall that's about to happen, because Coldplay's time on the show is going to happen in like 10 minutes or so.

[TimeIsOnYourSide]

yes. they just went to comercial break and CP is next.

[heelsrule1988]

Now a second playing of Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall to end it.

[#42vera.inês]

And ETIAW again!

[heelsrule1988]

The concert will end perfectly in time for Coldplay's bit on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Nice!

[Twisted__Logic]

How much time till the Jimmy show with the coldplay songs?

[xmonstermaggie]

How much time till the Jimmy show with the coldplay songs?

Literally should be on in seconds.

[heelsrule1988]

Any minute now.

[lotrobsessed101]

Any minute now.

Yep. :) I'm watching James Franco's interview right now.

[lefter]

I just came on- where are you guys watching it?

[Twisted__Logic]

Can you watch it online?

[heelsrule1988]

Nope... not yet. That was pretty funny about the kids at the baseball game, though.

[lotrobsessed101]

I'm in Hot Springs, Arkansas right now. Jimmy Kimmel didn't come on for me until 11:30. :/ I think I'm behind you guys.

[Caroline]

Concert was awesome! They played the same set list, except no Shiver. They played charlie brown and ETIAW twice. Once for Jimmy Kimmel at the beginning and then at the encore. I will post pics tomorrow. I got amazing ones.

[heelsrule1988]

Definitely coming up after the break now.

[heelsrule1988]

Here we go!

[xmonstermaggie]

Well it looked like the crowd could have been better, but they sounded and looked pretty fabulous. :]

[heelsrule1988]

So that's a wrap... next up is Lollapalooza on Friday night. I'm hoping to get off of work in time to catch most (if not all) of it. Until then... good night everyone!

[Caroline]

The second time they played the songs, Chris told everyone to jump around and they all got into it, finally.

[Jason-DeBord]

Just tweeted set list @jason_debord

[LFDianne]

Well it looked like the crowd could have been better, but they sounded and looked pretty fabulous. :]

The crowd sucked. Loved the show though. More later.

[y3110w]

Had so much fun at the show. First time hearing Charlie Brown as I didn't seek out any live versions of it. Great song. Love Major Minus! I'll have to check if any of the media I got was any good. Loved every moment of it. Glad I didn't look up the set-list, great surprises along the way. Cheers Coldplay!

[lotrobsessed101]

The crowd sucked. Loved the show though. More later.

Exactly my thoughts. I was kind of surprised at that. They were really lucky to be at that performance, but they didn't show it!

[y3110w]

The crowd sucked. Loved the show though. More later.

Ha, I noticed most were seating down. I tried to hold my own in my section and stand and rock-out to most of the songs. :lol:

[Caroline]

The crowd sucked. Loved the show though. More later.

Yeah, the LA crowds are always weak. I had a ton of fun though.

[gotcheese2768]

We met Will!!!! Omg I'll post pics later!! We got autographs too!

[yaneevl]

Wow what a great show!
I won samsung tickets for me and my friends (got Sec 10+11)
here are some photos =)

[Yellow Strawberry]

We met Will!!!! Omg I'll post pics later!! We got autographs too!


Wait!! WHAT??? I should have stayed with you! :P We got out super quick.. hahaha

That is totally awesome! I want to know details!!!!!


Concert was awesome! Would have been better had we (the Coldplayers in Section 15 ;);)) been able to party it out in the pit though. Most of those people had no dancing spirit!! I think people that go to concerts should be open to new songs and not be rude and talk through songs they may not like.

[Yellow Strawberry]

Here are the few pics that look ok, from section 15.. I am NOT happy that my "full view" was NOT a full view. I had to wait till 4 people left to get these as it was!!

http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150269819902545.324817.578137544&l=26c639d86d&type=1

[chicagopepper]

Can't figure out why they played those songs twice.

[Yellow Strawberry]

They played the first set for Kimmel, and then they seem to have stuck to their normal set they have been playing for their festivals.

[Yellow Strawberry]

Watching Kemmel.. interviewing the boys right now!! hehehehe

[gotcheese2768]

It was because of me and my friend that will came over!

[Yellow Strawberry]

Did you have your awesome Jacket on??

[MattAlliance]

So setlist was?

Hurts Like Heaven
Yellow
In My Place
Charlie Brown
Every Teardrop ia a Waterfall
The Scientist
Major Minus
God Put a Smile Upon Your Face
Everything's Not Lost
Us Against The World
Politik
Viva La Vida
Charlie Brown (again!!?)
Life Is For Living --- ???
Clocks --- ???
Fix You (Rehab snippet)
Every Teardrop... (again!!?)

????

[caljam]

I loved the show, my second time seeing the band. However I have seen their Glastonbury and Scotland festival shows this summer on the net plus heard the Sweden set. So I feel a bit cheated, not hearing Lost, Shiver and (how could they leave this one out) Violet Hill! More songs from the 2nd album than Viva La Vida!?! But Everythings Not Lost was so sweet and Charlie Brown was killer (twice). Same with Every Teardrop!
As i type this I am waiting to see and tape the guys on Jimmy Kimmel so it will be weird to hear 2 songs on TV that I just saw live. It was worth $100 to see Coldplay in probably the smallest venue they will play (or have played in years). It was like a private party!

[gotcheese2768]

I did have my jacket on! "nice jacket"


To my friend "nice jacket I've never seen anyone make Guy's jacket!"

[Jason-DeBord]

Yes, they played Charlie Brown and ETIAW twice... (and skipped LOST!, Violet Hill, Shiver, and maybe some others) Here is the set list I tweeted earlier:

Jason, thx for all the great pix!
Love the picture with the other Coldplayers (at least I think they are CPers :) )
The gadgets you got look absolutely awesome!

Thank you...love it!!! :dance:

I got home around 40 minutes ago...I'm very happy right now, but it's very late now so I will post a coherent review tomorrow with all the details. I met Phil though!!!! :phil: :dance: Okay more tomorrow. :D

[Jason-DeBord]

thanks for the photos Jason! :D

My pleasure. By the way, anyone can reuse any of the pics I've taken as you'd like.

Trying to upload some videos, but hotel internet is super S L O W... Will probably take all night to put one up. Got GPASUYF and Politik in their entirety. Politik came out especially good as I zoomed in on the different members are different bits (like will pounding the hell out of his set). Also video'd some other bits.

Awesome show - can never get enough CP live.

Was great to meet some more Coldplaying members and hang out and chat, and some of us got together for dinner after the show. Great fun! Thanks for the best online forum out there, busybeeburns! ;) Really makes for a better experience when you can connect up with a lot of wonderful people.

[ACmaster27]

Very awesome time. My notes:

*Super friendly event staff
* The free samsung game prizes were a nice touch
*Kinda dead audience. Sitting or standing, you can at least SWAY or rock back and fourth/stomp
* Saw the guys walk right in front of me from inside the VIP area outside to an adjacent building
* The Winehouse tribute really struck a chord with me, and if you heard the guy scream "AMY", that was me
* On top of the amazing performing of the guys, the lighting and use of color was fun
* ETIAW is a perfect summer concert song

Great pic! Congrats!

[CupitorVeritatis]

Wow...just got home and I must say, that was awesome!! Got a setlist and several pocketfuls of confetti.
It was a great concert. I loved that the venue was so small but people weren't really singing out that much, and I was kinda dissapointed that they played Charlie Brown and ETiaW twice and skipped like three other songs, but I don't think it was the band's idea, since they did play Everything's Not Lost and that wasn't on the official setlist. The band sounded really good but Chris didn't do much crazy stuff...there was no laying on the floor and he only asked if everyone was OK once. They were probably pretty jet lagged. Even so it was totally worth it. They are an amazing live band.

setlist:
MX/HLH
Yellow
In My Place
Charlie Brown
ETiaW
The Scientist
Major Minus
GPaSuYF
Everything's Not Lost
Us Against the World
Politik
Viva la Vida
Charlie Brown (2nd time)
Life is for Living

(encore)
Clocks
Amy Winehouse tribute
Fix You
ETiaW (2nd time)

Watched Jimmy and it was a funny show.
Chris interviewed with Jimmy at the beginning was funny too. Chris was charming and hilarious.
My favorite line was "Will worked for Fedex and the rest of us opened a pet store" LMAO

Does anybody else think that those 4 rectangles at the end of ETIAW might be LP5 artwork?

Yeah yeah yeah... I still wondering what this means.

But don't think that this will be the artwork. I thought of something which is more chaotic and fits better to the graffiti theme.

[LFDianne]

Fun night.

The good:
Meeting several Coldplayers, Tracey (duh - she stayed with me.) Kelly, Imelda, Julie, Jason, Ro, Heide. Missed finding Erick, but kept in touch by text.
Watching two songs soundcheck
Seeing Miller, and other roadies we recognized
Seeing Jimmy Kimmel walking through the tunnel where we saw the band
Being in the right place at the right time, and seeing the band walk right past us, on the way to and from meeting with the Grammy Foundation people.
Made eye contact with Will, got a huge smile from Jonny and a wave from Chris
Watching my husband come out of the men's room, saying, "Guy was in there."
The gorgeous night.

The bad:
The crowd sucked. A few got into it, but for the most part, people just stood there, sat down or talked or texted. Especially the people behind me, who sat and talked the whole show, standing only for Viva.
Chris did very little talking. Didn't seem like he did the usual band shoutouts like he usually does, either.
There were a LOT of empty seats.
Our $150 seats were horrible :(. Totally obstructed view. We ended up having a few extra free tickets, and sold them. We kept our bought tickets, thinking the location was good. They were close but our view was totally blocked by the speaker tower and Samsung banner. Great view of Will, but didn't see Guy or Jonny at all. Chris moves around so we got glimpses of him. There was a video screen but the image was reversed, kind of disconcerting to see Jonny playing "left handed." My daughter's seats were next to Kelly's, farther back, but better view, so Tracey squeezed in with them, in the bench seating. Other sections were noted on Ticketmaster as having obstructed views, and the price reflected that, but not Sec 2. So I was very disappointed by that.

But it was a fun night. I need to go through my pictures and see if there are any decent ones to share.

[Dany93]

Thanks a lot for all the pics and reviews! :nice:

[backstreetchix97]

I agree about the crowd! I was going to come on here to talk about that today as well...I felt like it made LA looked so bad :( I thought it was horrible how nobody cheered for Will when he started his part during Us Against The World! I sat right in front of your son Dianne :)

Fun night.

The concert was amazing. It was freaking loud, and UCLA tennis center was such a small venue.
Hearing Charlie Brown twice was just awesome.
But the crowd was just terrible, I was the only guy jumping and singing all of their songs in section 304 (if you were sitting behind it, you probably saw me jumping like crazy hahahah)
Can't wait for the new album, it's gonna be amazing.

you have have bugged me! haha.

You're so lucky. I was dying when you texted me about meeting Will!

[gotcheese2768]

here's my review!

i just have to repeat it! the crowd sucked!!! i was up the whole time since that Jay-Z was playing. i think i made the people next to me leave. they left after 3 songs and never came back. i was there rocking out and singing the whole time! met another coldplayer. awesome. yellow strawberry i think she was :)

the show was amazing! Charlie Brown live is GREAT! and getting to hear it twice is even better! same goes for ETIAW!

and i met WILL!!!! we got lucky. a bunch of coldplayers were going to meet at Bjs so my friend that goes to UCLA was walking us there and right as we were passing by they were putting barricades up. i convinced my friends to stay. after about an 1 hour, 2 black SUV's rolled up and we freaked out. i'm pretty sure i saw phil too, i yelled for him but he didn't come over. i also saw matt mcginn and yelled for him but he didn't come over. so finally Will comes out. i'm convinced he didn't noticed us standing there. my friend was like "that's fucking Will". i couldn't see him for awhile. then he opened the door to get into his SUV. i knew instantly that it was Will!! so i started yelling "Will! Will! Will!" and he closed the door and came over. everyone said that because of us he came over! he loved my friends jacket "nice jacket, no one ever makes Guy's jacket". to me "nice jacket". we took a pic that i posted and he signed my 2 tickets and i brought my CP Live 2003 which he signed too. nice guy!

my only complaint is that most of the people didn't even really know Will or of Will. they were hoping for chris because no one yelled at all until I yelled and everyone yelled. someone was yelling Guy Guy Guy and i was like shut up that is NOT Guy ;). anyways according to security Chris left really soon after the concert to meet up with Gwyneth. and like i said there were 2 SUV's. as Will was signing for us they got into the other one and left. security said "Will was the distraction". not sure if that true or not.


EPIC NIGHT!

[backstreetchix97]

LOL, of course he was :)

Was my son behaving? Lol. His friend, Erin, was so excited and we have a new Berryman lover.

[Yellow Strawberry]

That is awesome! I was wondering when the people next to you moved. Once those girls that came late next to me left, I moved over so we could finally see the stage some what better. I think our dancing and singing made them all leave! Hey, someone had to have an awesome time! :D

[backstreetchix97]

I agree, it sucks when fans don't know the other band members. I met a fan who said she bumped into one of the guitarist but didn't know his name...I asked if he had a hat or not and she said he did so I told her that was Johnny. Such a shame -_-

[backstreetchix97]

BTW, did anyone else notice but was it just me or did Chris mess up the lyrics towards the end of Life is for Living?

I don' t know if it was just me but this part of the last verse:
And in the cave
They're timing us
Cause in the end
There's only love

He replaced it with something but I have no idea what -_-

Hopefully I can upload it to youtube soon :)

[Aaronkv]

Wow what an amazing show!! The crowd like everyone said was lame.

I was actually the first person in line for the Priority Access tickets, showed up between 12:30-1. Tickets were handed out in a semi random order. I had amazing seats! It was more luck of the draw because there were people sitting near me that were way back in the line. But no complaints here because it was FREE!! I had originally bought tickets through Ticketmaster and sold them when I got the free pass, and the free ones were many times better than the ones I paid for.

The show was amazing, My girlfriend and I were the only ones standing and dancing the whole time in our section. I had my Colplay cherry popped and it was amazing. One of the better concerts I've ever been too. It's been a crazy week for me. Went to LA rising (Rage against the machine, Muse, Rise against) 4 days before too. What a week, Saved the best for last thats for sure. Still buzzing about it!

I remember him messing up on a song and said "ahhh shh--". I totally laughed and my mom even commented that he may have forgotten the lyrics. Can't remember the song of the top of my head right now though.

THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT I WANT TO COMMENT ON FROM THIS. Like your husband seeing Guy in the bathroom? :stunned: And Jonny's smile? Too much. It sounds wonderful. Very jealous!

[iamcdlac]

I was so embarrassed by the crowd last night! A majority of them were too snobby (typical LA!) to participate, sing, dance, ANYTHING!! They just stood there recording the concert on their cameras to post on youtube, instead of enjoying it.

I couldn't even believe they didn't even know what to do before the encore (CHANT!). I was SO FRUSTRATED and felt like Coldplay deserved a warmer welcome! I'm sorry COLDPLAY!!

It didn't stop me from jumping up and down and singing at the top of my lungs from beginning to end! They were phenomenal AS ALWAYS!!!

I was so embarrassed by the crowd last night! A majority of them were too snobby (typical LA!) to participate, sing, dance, ANYTHING!! They just stood there recording the concert on their cameras to post on youtube, instead of enjoying it.

I couldn't even believe they didn't even know what to do before the encore (CHANT!). I was SO FRUSTRATED and felt like Coldplay deserved a warmer welcome! I'm sorry COLDPLAY!!

I couldn't have said it better. I've been to 3 CP shows in LA and I'm ALWAYS embarrassed by the lame crowd! I was in section 13 going crazy the entire time! The guy standing in front of me covered his ears everytime I screamed! Why didn't he just stay home?

No encore chant? What is wrong with people?!

Right before Viva started I started the Viva chant and people were looking at me like I was crazy!

I know, there were even people leaving before the encore because they though the concert was over.

Did anyone see the TMZ article about Chris giving tickets to Lindsay Lohan for last night's show? I had no idea these two were friends. I guess he probably feels sorry for her????

BTW, did anyone else notice but was it just me or did Chris mess up the lyrics towards the end of Life is for Living?

I don' t know if it was just me but this part of the last verse:
And in the cave
They're timing us
Cause in the end
There's only love

He replaced it with something but I have no idea what -_-

Hopefully I can upload it to youtube soon :)

I think he has sung different lyrics from the yellow bolded ones since the festival gigs started. :thinking: I have no idea what he's singing, though.

I hope I'm doing this right, I'm new to this forum! I took my husband, it was his first CP concert and the whole time I was telling him "THIS IS THE SHITTIEST CROWD EVER!" - excluding us true CP fans who actually participated and cheered for them! I was doing the Viva chant too before the encore and the lady next to me was looking at me like I was crazy and I wanted to tell her to take her fake CP fan ass home! If you don't know the encore chant, you are NOT a true CP fan!!

I WAS SOOOO MAD!! It didn't take away from the experience of seeing them, but I kept thinking, they must think us Americans SUCK! ahahaha...

I remember him messing up on a song and said "ahhh shh--". I totally laughed and my mom even commented that he may have forgotten the lyrics. Can't remember the song of the top of my head right now though.

yea i think he messed up and said shit. or was going to that. :lol:
