Mannheim Nov. 10th 2005

DocFederfeld · 10-11-2005, 12:27 PM

Is there really no thread about Mannheim yet? Am I the only one there tonight? I hope not, but a private concert for my wife and me might be fun

. I wish everybody a great night tonight and hope that someone will post the setlist afterwards. or do they play the same songs every night? I'm really looking forward.

Surely it's going to be great!!

I'm a bit jealous that you're still before gig

henning · 11-11-2005, 12:32 AM

Nice show, but the atmosphere was somehow not really good :/

Giuly2E · 11-11-2005, 12:34 AM

Why?

henning · 11-11-2005, 12:40 AM

mmh, don't know really..
i was in the 10th row or so, just didn't think that many people were going crazy or singing along..
but at least they played amsterdam which might make some of you jealous

or my expectations were simply too high after reading all these comments here..
nevertheless the show was pretty nice

need to sleep, have to work tomorrow

Giuly2E · 11-11-2005, 12:41 AM

ok! night!

Nettie · 11-11-2005, 08:09 AM

Thanks!

It was my first Coldplay concert. The gig was good, but not one of the best I have seen. Coldplay are a very powerful Live-band, but I was disappointed that they played only 90 minutes (encores included). The last concerts I have seen this year (Springsteen, Dream Theater, The Machine) were between 150 and 180 minutes. Also, the Maimarkthalle in Mannheim is one of the shittiest concerthalls in the world (I've been in more than 100 concerts in many countries over the last nearly 25 years, so I can say that

). The entrance is small, there are too few toilettes, the sound is beyond average. It is actually that was build for fairs, not for concerts. That was the reason for the not-so-good atmosphere.

Anyway - what I liked: The setlist - a good mix of old and new songs, the light show and (as I said before) the power of the band.

I was really curious about Goldfrapp, because I had read a lot of good things about this band, but they are not my style - too synthetic, too boring

Sorry about my english - it is usaully a little bit better if I'm less tired.

Very nice shots!

Wow! they're amazing!

barney gumble · 11-11-2005, 09:28 AM

Question from a "newbie": Is it a normal thing during a Coldplay concert that Chris leaves stage during the show and returns in the back of the hall ???

I was standing in the rear part of the Maimarkthalle, was drinking some beer… and suddenly Chris Martin was next to me. I was totally confused and thought somebody had put some drugs in my beer.

GREAT SHOW !!!

Giuly2E · 11-11-2005, 09:34 AM

What?? Serious???

Well...as far as I know Chris only leaves the stage just before the encore

....but I don't know

barney gumble · 11-11-2005, 09:45 AM

Yes, this really happened... here's a picture:

He was standing on a small box next to the places for the disabled in the left part of the hall... what an amazing thing, I still can't believe it !

hehe... yep, that's normal. at least, if it was during 'in my place'. chris usually visits the fans who are in the back then. ^^

barney gumble · 11-11-2005, 10:30 AM

Okay... I think I should have visited this forum earlier to avoid such shocking moments

(and yes, I think it was during "In My Place")

Some more details from the show:

One song (I think it was “Amsterdam”) was restarted because Chris had forgotten the lyrics.

“Til Kingdom Come” was interrupted because a fan shouted something during a very quiet part of the song. The band stopped the song immediately, and Chris told the guy in a very funny way not to disturb such a quiet song… when they continued, they laughed that much that it was hard for Chris to finish the song in a serious way (I remember there is a “laughing version” of an Elvis song… so, this was a laughing version of a Coldplay song

).

And there were several things Chris sang in German… during “Talk” there was a snippet of Kraftwerk’s “Autobahn”, and between two songs Chris sang something else in German (probably an old German chanson, but not sure

).
