I enjoyed the gig so much!!!! Made a first row, sangalong/danced as never before, saw Guy smiling .... (and smiling to me lol), got (chris') set list and MX mediator. Oh and i officially made it on coldplay.com haha. I'm just so excited. The only thing that disappointed me was the amount of the songs - 19?!!!! That's not enough at all. I was waiting for dont panic and what if. I liked that they did White Christmas cover instead of rehab just before the fix u. There were some mistakes but all in all It turned out to be an amazing gig. Pictures & videos later I need to sleep now and sorry if the post sounds messy. [thanks tamunia]
Wow, what an awesome concert! First of all, a big shout out to the elephant attired concert goers in attendance! I panned to you guys in several of the videos I shot. Had the opportunity to attend this one (and the one in London on the 9th). Excellent show! I'm concurrently putting up an article on my blog, but thought I'd compliment that with some more thoughts here for the Coldplay fans... the pics will be in the article though - terrible WiFi connection and am wondering if I can even get the pics up. Unlike the London gig, I shot tons of video at this one, but will need to wait until I get to a hotel with better Internet service... So at the London show I was on the floor, close to the stage, while for Paris I was in the stadium/seated part (Section O). Two totally different experiences... On the floor, being close, there is definitely more energy and you feel the music and performances more; watching from the seated area is more like watching a concert on TV - you get a better sense of the arena, the flow of things, and benefit of seeing the full "show" part of the show (not the singing bits, but the confetti, the balls, the wristbands, etc.).
I am glad, having an opportunity to see two shows so close to one another, to do one one way, and one the other... if I was only going to one show, and had to choose, I'd choose whatever option got me closest to the stage. As far as the show itself, I liked the London one a little better just because of the slight differences to the playlist (I like 'Don't Panic' and 'What If' better than 'Shiver', and the latter replaced both of the former in Paris), and there was more energy from the crowd in the UK (a good portion of my section didn't get out of their seats until Viva, which was closing out the last bit of the show - but I'm a bit under the weather, so it worked out for me ). Having said all that, it's really nitpicky comparisons, as I am a huge fan of the band, and have never come away from a show with anything but real excitement and satisfaction from the performances. Awesome show though, and feel very fortunate to have been able to share the experience with the people of Paris. [thanks Jason-DeBord]
after the show, at around 23:30. I followed my instinct, a few fans were there as well, we saw the van and ran for it. Then the van stopped, the side sliding door opened and I immediately saw Gwyneth ! She saw our excitement and was very happy for us. Then Chris jumped out and took a good 15min to take photos and sign autographs for everyone. We had a small chat as well. It really shows he's that nice, because I don't know of a lot of people who'd do that. That was a dream come true, best 15min of my life. [thanks charley]
