I hope they finally publish the DVD of Barcelona's gig so everyone can see that it was a very good show, despite those complains.

Answer to strawberryswinger's question: How many languages do you know?

I know Danish (being Danish), Norwegian and Swedish, English, German and French. With the help of online translation tool and my knowledge of French and Latin, I can also somewhat translate from Spanish and Italian - maybe not perfect translations, but understandable ones. And I am having much fun doing it.

It also helps a lot that I like the subject.

Just for information, the new song, intro to "Death will never conquer" were also Played @ the "Stade de Suisse", in Bern when they came to Switzerland.

Wasn't it just the little "Bo Diddley" type song that Chris sings every time to introduce Will?

Wow...

Chanting it at Chris as he's trying to make the best of the show isn't exactly fair.

Totally agree. It's a shame.

About the crowd, it's true that there were people talking and not very involved with the show. But this is the kind of things that happen when you become a band of huge success: there are the fans that know every song and sing them, but also the kind of people that know them for one or two songs (Viva la vida, Yellow) and the rest of the concert remain passive or worse, chatting.

Here in Barcelona this has become more obvious with the FC Barcelona thing: at the stadium they played Viva la Vida before every match. It has become a anthem for the succesful season of the team, and recognised everywhere. Result: a lot of people at the concert wearing the Barça t-shirt and they maybe only knew this song. Even at the TV3 news this afternoon, the jornalist that made the report of the show said that some people were disappointed because there was no mention to FC Barcelona and the band didn't wear the Barça T-shirts. VENGA YA!!! COME ON! I must admit that I thought they'd do some mention to it, but I was happy that they didn't. In this country it seems that football has to be the center of everything.

The mobile wave in the end worked very well, I think. At the beginning it was a problem because Chris said "starting from the left"... but the left of what? He must have said "starting from the left of the stage". But after 2-3 attemps it was pretty good.

About the reviews. I've read some newspapers and all of them are very positive, only with the drawback of the sound at the beginning.

HAHAHAH!!!, thats what I said: Your left or my left
