Furthermore why film Vancouver when you have the two Wembley gigantic show coming????

I'm hoping (maybe against hope) that they'll film both Vancouver and Wembley and package them as 1 DVD release

Snow Patrol did an amazing job of warming up the crowd, (ive never seen an opening act be able to actually get more than 20 or so people standing, I think almost everyon stood near the end of Snow Patrol's set)

Chris had the crowd in the palm of his hand. EVERYONE stood up for the entire show, there was tons of cheering and singing. My boyfriend, who isn't really a fan of their recorded music had tons of fun and said that the show was so much more lively than he expected from a Coldplay show. And oh boy was it ever lively!! I'm just so impressed and SO glad I get to see them again tomorrow!!

For whoever said Chris had scary clown hair - I thought he looked delicious. LOL. Sadly, you wont see any pics from me, since as it turns out, my camera is a total peice of crap or I accidentally messed up the settings on it. Even when the lights were up I couldnt get an in focus picture of myself.

There were a few references to the filming, saying of all the places where they could film a concert, they decided to pick Canada again ... so who knows what it'll be for, but it seemed the way he was talking it would be released.

I'm not sure where they were handing out the free CD's but me and my bf didn't get one... how were those handed out? we saw people holding them, but never saw anyone giving any out! Oh well, hopefully I can get one tomorrow!

Sounds amazing Glad you had fun! And yay to another show tomorrow!

I presume there wasn't any change in the setlist???

No, I don't think there were any setlist changes. I didn't write the songs down, but I did look over the setlist before I went and I pretty well knew which songs I'd hear, and those are the ones I heard. No new songs thrown in.

busybeeburns · 21-06-2009, 08:45 AM

I don't think they would dare put the DVD filming in jeopardy by changing the setlist for the first time in ages!

Oh and I think someone mentioned, but the dancing roadie, is freakin brilliant. He got everyone laughing and cheering and pumped up for the show. During the classical peice that came next, people were dancing ballet-style, gesturing like they were in an orchestra, etc, really letting loose, not worried about looking silly at all.

too often I get the feeling during shows in Vancouver that the crowd is just too self conscious to participate and let loose. Not here at all, and I think some of the credit goes to the fabulous break dancing skills of that sexy roadie.

Just got back. They did film, but they used some new type of filming. There were no cranes tonight they had remote cameras in the light racks and also remote ones at the side. I did see full cameras on the floor too.

Vancouver makes perfect sense. Most bands film both Vancouver and Chicago, and release one. U2 chose Chicago. GM Place is a big small venue. Near perfect sound with Coldplays high tech equipment. They won't film Wembley for a release, simply cause of Jay-Z.

I had amazing seats! Row 1 section 324, Side Stage amazing view. It was the most energy I've ever felt GM Place have. Louder then the Police Reunion, louder then U2. Snow Patrol kicked ass, best opener ever. Most of the audience came to watch them and everyone was standing!

Exact same setlist. I loved it though, I thought I would be disappointed, but I wasnt. Chris had fun with the crowd tonight. Told the crowd right at the end of Violet Hill "What if I told you we are filming the next two nights" then rocked into Clocks.

He mentioned it again before the Hardest Part "of the 90 countries we could have filmed in, we chose Canada."

I did not see signs posted outside of the venue informing of filming. I will look tomorrow. I;ll post a detailed review of both shows Monday though. Quite easily the best concert Ive ever been to in my life!

Same!!

I wasn't expecting to be this blown away. I have seen some AMAZING acts, but just the fact that they managed to get that kind of energy from everyone...was just wow. not a dull moment, eh?

Malcolm-Edge · 21-06-2009, 08:58 AM

No problems getting Point and shoots into the show. Do not bring an outside beverage though.

They did amazing work in the sense of getting people into it. They have really come into their own live. I have never seen anyone able to do it that well past Bono. Tomorrow is going to be amazing.

Glad you had fun. I was following your tweets throughout the show!

Malcolm-Edge · 21-06-2009, 09:01 AM

Follow tomorrow too! If the girlfriend lets me. Im off to bed you all. Cheers.

By the way filming Vancouver is logical, it is the last of the Arena dates, and this tour has been the arena with this set. Canada is the best crowds in the world. Lets hope this is actually done and not a How We See The World thing again!

but a dream · 21-06-2009, 09:14 AM

Have a good night! Though I can imagine you'll be on a Coldplay high for a little while longer!

Krystyna · 21-06-2009, 09:18 AM

I heard people doing viva's ooooooOOooOoh's even on the skytrain... now I'm hearing phantom crowd OooOoooOh's... not sure when I'll be able to get to sleep lol.
