Simon Pegg just joined @coldplay on stage for "Speed of Sound". Best moment of my life.

A question, did they have to restart any of the songs due to a pre-planned "mess-up"?

I might be slow, but I reckon they plan a mess-up in the show.

Just got back from the gig - I probably didn't enjoy it as much as the O2 in December, but I think part of the reason for that is because that was my first Coldplay gig ever. I prefer this new setlist by a long way, particularly Warning Sign; separates the men from the boys in terms of who's a proper fan and knows the words

I was, unfortunately, surrounded by quite a few people who wouldn't sing at all, not even for the biggest hits (bar Fix You and Paradise) - surprising given that we weren't very far back (about level with the X-Stage). Still, me and my friend were in the mood and singing nonetheless, and it was great to see the people in the top tier of seating singing and dancing as much, if not more, than the people standing. It's a great testimony to the quality of the live performance and the dedication of the fans (Chris made a point of saying we're better than Lady Gaga's fans

) that everyone in the place was feeling electric.

The obvious talking point was Simon Pegg coming on during Speed Of Sound. Couldn't stop laughing when it happened, if I'd had seen his tweet before the concert then I probably would've guessed, but it was great surprise nonetheless.

All in all, it was a great night, and the Xyloband and the fireworks in particular were spectacular, helping to further give weight to the argument that the boys are the best live act around

scusi · 05-06-2012, 12:21 AM

I just got back to my parents from the gig, wow is all I can say and no, there were no mess ups, planned or otherwise. I also went on Friday and when I get my breath back I will write a little review.

I can honestly say. in 10 years of seeing this band, I don't know how they can possibly get any better!

Black Rose · 05-06-2012, 12:24 AM

^Chris going into a giant ball and rolling over the audience

^

For a band whom has had 5 albums, a 90 minute set isn't long enough, they could work out a set-list to break the 120 minute mark

Yu-tong · 05-06-2012, 12:28 AM

Oh Simon!

I can't wait to go home, but today just begins. 7:26 a.m.

I'm so glad to read all the messages!

Tonsu · 05-06-2012, 12:31 AM

Just rolled in, cracked open a cold IPA, sat back and had a reflective ciggie on the balcony, and am gathering my thoughts for my review...

Just to reply to a few things on this page first (haven't had time to look back at the other pages yet):

He was round the back of the gig, there was loads of room. I felt more sorry for the guy in the (very tight

) pink panther costume on Saturday stuck out in the rain!

Um, they played it three nights ago and two nights ago too

I get the novelty value of Simon Pegg but as I'm not a fan it doesn't do anything for me. And he absolutely KILLED Speed of Sound with his dreadful, dreadful harmonica. I know he can play it - I've seen him join the band before. But he was utterly awful trying to play along with this, and trashed the song imo

No, I think it's the first time I've seen them there wasn't an 'accidental' mess up
