I could do that. I'll put it up in the MM section.

Thank you!!! I've only seen ACL once (like Venuslovebug I keep missing the repeats) and I'd love to hear the whole thing!

This is very, very late, but I recently posted an edited video called Coldplay in 10 on my blog and it's a summary of this show and the Houston one. It's on my blog at http://austingirlmusicguide.wordpress.com/.

Also, I finally finished uploading ALL of the concert videos to You Tube. Check out, http://www.youtube.com/user/AustinGirlMusicGuide to see full length videos and my personal You Tube channel, http://www.youtube.com/user/virginiarh22, to see all the snippets and short clips.

Austingirl, how nice to hear from you that you have posted all your clips from the show. It is quite an unusual but pleasant coincidence that I was just listening to your clips this morning. It proves the interrelatedness of all things.

I promote your blog and clips at any opportunity that I can because they are excellent. Thanks again for being such a great Coldplay fan and for writing such an articulate review and history of your Coldplay experience.

I see that you also have a wide range of musical tastes, which is very healthy. It was thoughtful of you to give Coldplay credit for re-invigorating your passion for music that led to your creating a musical review blog. I found your story about how you discovered Coldplay almost by pure chance to be fascinatng because it is similar to my own.
The difference is that I felt an uncomfortable attraction to them for many years, but resisted it. That all changed with Viva La Vida.

With it, they broke through my resistance and touched me in a very sensitive place. From that point forward, I finally completely surrendered my heart to them and opened myself up to their wide repertoire of music.

I saw their performance on a repeat showing of Saturday Night Live a week ago, which was the show in which Chris Martin originally "grabbed" me. (I believe that the original airing of that show was 10/25/08, just before the election.) After that, I could never walk away from them again. Yet, watching the rerun of that show, I was surprised at how subdued Chris' performance was on that show, in which they sang 4 songs instead of the usual 2: Viva La Vida; Lost!; Yellow (at the end of which, Chris sang "Barrack Obama") and "Lovers In Japan" during the closing credits.

On SNL, Chris almost seemed afraid to sing too loud, or to dance too wildly, as if he is afraid he might knock something over if he moves as much as he does in live concerts. There, he's completely in his own element, like a king in his castle, and he throws his whole heart and soul into the performance and sings (or belts out) the songs with full passion. Still, without realizing how relatively subdued he was, he captured my heart and soul with that SNL performance and I am forever grateful that happened. I'm still deeply moved to tears welling in my eyes when I see clips of their live performances, remembering my own magical night with them on 7/14/09.

Edit: I really wish that ACL would sell an unedited version of the show. It was so great and they really trimmed a lot out for television. Plus, the sound was better than what you'll hear on TV because we were hearing it through a professional sound system. This is definitely better then nothing though!

I'm trying to find a way to capture the streaming video, not for any purpose other than my own personal entertainment. I think it's important for people to keep copies of these kinds of gems so that they are never lost from the world.

Was this like the song Chris sang for the final encore on ACL? It is indeed an endearing performance:

Sweet piano playing on that song. Chris looks mellow in all these Maida Vale clips, showing his natural beauty.
