I thought the gig tonight was fantastic. The setlist gives me goosebumps for Oxegen next week and I can't wait to see the close-out to Parachutes being played like 11 years later with Everything's Not Lost and Life is for Living. The crowd were really really good in parts but the band didn't seem so pumped tonight, I guess anything is a huge comedown from Glaso though. But, the band were still really great and they played an immense set, to an immense crowd, in an immense way. Roll on Dublin!!!

Coldplay was superb tonight at Where The Action Is and here's my review! I watched the concert from livestream and the setlist was as great as Glastonbury's! They performed in the daylight so you could see all the big audience joining the band while playing, as jumping, dancing, clapping or shouting the lyrics to the band! They really improved the version of "Everything's Not Lost", mainly the piano riff and the guitar (...it seems that the boys have been rehearsing it!). I also noticed outerspace new sounds for "Charlie Brown" and a more rockin' guitar sound for "Fix You" and "God Put A Smile Upon Your Face"! During "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall" the things turned out much better because it got a bit dark, so the lasers and lightshow was pretty amazing. I guess that encouraged the crowd to jump together, it was impressive! I'd like to add the fact that the band seemed very confident on stage, Chris on the piano in special... he's a real pianist!

A fantastic gig musically, and an absolutely unbelievable crowd, but I felt the band didn't play to it they could and should have. Little or no room for the crowd participation after Viva, ENL, The Scientist, and so the set also had little room to 'breathe'. Without those breaks, and the band themselves taking it all in, it felt (to me) like a mad rush through the Glastonbury set. Without those more expansive moments, and What a Wonderful World as well, this set needs an extra song or two. The front-loading of many of the favourites only makes sense to me if the mid-to-late set is given all the loving it deserves, to really wring every last drop of crowd pleasure out of, and it wasn't here. It was a set designed for Glastonbury, imported wholesale to Sweden for major (but far from maximum) effect. The Swedish fans deserved more I felt. But I hope each and every one had an incredible night. It was brilliant, and I'd have given almost anything to be there myself, because despite it not being all it had the almost-tangible potential to be, it was still a magnificent occasion, even through a choppy window on a PC screen. /critics' hat off. Thanks a lot everyone, it's been fun

I don't know, it's hard to tell watching from a streaming who kept skipping once in a while but I would have rather been there than in my own hometwon considering the show they got, far far better (I mean Shiver+ENL>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>x100000000>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Cemeteries of London)

Just got back to the hotel.
What an amazing gig. We, the crowd, where amazing! I have no words to describe how loud we sounded.
