I can't believe I waited 10 months for this and it's over now. Where to begin ... Ok first of all amazing light show. Does Coldplay need this ? No. Was it f#&$@! Amazing ? Yes. Second of all, the set list really disappointed me. Princess of china we don't need ... Don't let it break your heart was ok .... But I was so excited for warning sign and speed of sound. I have Ben waiting for so many months to hear warning sign and I was nervous when I saw they played trouble in Toronto.

I have listened to all the festivals this summer (rock in Rio, Glastonbury, iTunes and more) and I was getting used to hear Chris joking and talking to the crowd. Not enough "blabla" with the crowd IMO tonight. I found that they just got on stage, played, and left. But still it was insane.

Favorites moments of the night : God put a smile HELLO THAT WAS INSANE !! The scientist with the crowd singing. Viva !!!! Fix you. Clocks. Warning sign my fav.

Anyways I would review the set list because really princess of china has nothing to do there. Politik is missing and I wouldnt close with ETIAW. I can't wait for tomorrow to see if they are gonna make some changes.

After tomorrow it'll be over. So many months of waiting and no more Coldplay shows before ... Years? Who knows.

Concert review: Coldplay at the Bell Centre; July 26, 2012July 27, 2012. 1:24 am • Section: Words And Music



Chris Martin (right) and Jonny Buckland of Coldplay in a confetti shower at the Bell Centre on Thursday, July 26, 2012. (John Kenney/THE GAZETTE) To see more of John Kenney’s photos from the show, click here.

You can’t even trust artists to avoid dropping spoilers these days.

Walking through the Bell Centre doors on Thursday, you were given a nifty Coldplay bracelet. Walking into the belly of the arena, you were requested via a host of screens to wear the device, because “it will light up automatically in the show.” Then you were given a pictorial lesson in how to apply a bracelet to a wrist, just in case you had already spent your paycheque at the beer concession.

Maybe this was pedantry, but it was also insurance. Because when Coldplay took the stage and segued from the scene-setting Mylo Xyloto to the sprightly Hurts Like Heaven, and thousands upon thousands of flashing wristbands turned the packed Bell Centre into a neon wonderland, it was one of those rare moments that will be seared in the memory of even veteran concertgoers.

It wasn’t the only time Coldplay transcended the spectator-sport nature of arena rock during the first of two shows at the venue. When fans weren’t a living part of the set design, they were fully engaged by tireless and eternally jovial singer Chris Martin – a man who can take cheerleading clichés like “let me see those beautiful hands” and make them sound like revolutions in crowd participation.

He wasted no time in praising the audience for enduring “the traffic and the ticket prices and all the other s— you have to go through for a concert” – all the (bleep) most artists never acknowledge – promising in return that “we’re going to try to play the greatest f—ing show we’ve ever played in our lives.” He probably meant it, and if he makes the same vow to Friday’s full house, he’ll probably mean it again then.

Because Martin was singing – make that performing; this is an entertainer above all else – as if this was the last concert Coldplay would ever give. During In My Place, he had travelled around the circumference of the graffiti-scrawled main stage, acknowledging the obstructed-view seats along the way, before guitarist Jonny Buckland was even done with the intro. When Martin cued the confetti cannons to fire – all those bracelets still twinkling – it felt like an encore less than 10 minutes into the show. Even more astonishing, the atmosphere was so ecstatic that it felt like Coldplay had already earned an encore.

Lovers in Japan was ushered in with chiming guitar and psychedelic balloons (filled with more confetti), pointing to two pillars of influence: U2 for panoramic scale and the Flaming Lips for amusement-park elation. Great influences to have, especially if one can get beneath the surface and mine the Lips’ genuine joy and U2’s genuine spiritual salvation. Coldplay brought forth all of the former and a healthy dose of the latter.

The eruption of raw enthusiasm that met The Scientist was as magic as that spine-melting, soul-healing piano melody. Yellow was dedicated to Aurora, Colo., starting as a churchly and heartfelt eulogy before the familiar full-tilt arrangement kicked in with the house lights blazing. Another premature but justified encore.

The first half of the show was so dynamic, so inspirational that Coldplay risked delivering a top-heavy set. But the momentum didn’t flag, aside from the electro-pop identity crisis Princess of China – the first of several songs played on a secondary stage, with Rihanna’s piped-in duet vocal setting up an awkward situation where Coldplay became its own backing band. It was a rare lapse in taste, quickly redeemed by the sweet Up in Flames and Warning Sign, whose feather touch could be felt in the corners of the room.

Indeed, Coldplay have become masters at the art of filling a vast space, and not just musically. Along with those wristbands (which flickered back to life sporadically throughout the show), there were the circular screens hanging from the rafters, the glowing inflatable ciphers that surreptitiously appeared at the exits before a relentless Don’t Let It Break Your Heart, Martin’s frequent trips down the catwalk, and especially the encore played on a platform set up in the far reaches of the red seats. Few bands have taken such advantage of the physical possibilities presented by a cavernous venue, and fewer still have made the Bell Centre feel so intimate.

The common criticisms levelled at Coldplay – lightweight, thematically vague, more in tune with the signifiers of anthemic drama than with drama itself – were irrelevant on Thursday. If the show’s visual element had a frivolous side, it was also magical. There was no missing the overriding theme of connecting with the masses. And in an atypically stern God Put a Smile Upon Your Face, a plaintive Fix You and more than a few other moments, the drama was very real.

As a whole, the evening was a revelation – in terms of what arena shows can be and, for detractors, in terms of what Coldplay can be. Only the band members know if it was the greatest show they ever played, but it may well have been the greatest show the Bell Centre has seen so far in 2012.

Coldplay performs again Friday, July 27 at 7 p.m. at the Bell Centre, with Marina & the Diamonds and Charli XCX. Some obstructed-view seats remain available. Tickets cost $44 to $124.50. Call 514-790-2525 or visit evenko.ca. (Charli XCX also performs Friday, Aug. 3 at 1 p.m. as part of the Osheaga Music and Arts Festival in Jean Drapeau Park; visit osheaga.com for full festival details.)

Good morning people!
Great show on from the guys last night, but I don't feel like the crowd really stepped up. A few times during the show, Chris started singalongs and such, and sometimes they were followed only by awkward silence In any case, it was a great night, the setlist was pretty good (can't say I'm a fan of PoC being played live though).
