I'm not long back from the Parc des Princes show - it was really great! My own personal highlight was The Scientist, it was sublime Other standout tracks were Life in Technicolor ii and Fix You.......I enjoyed this concert more than Bercy last year.
Sidenote: WHY must so many people try and video the whole show with their f##king phones?! It really pisses me off!
[cant think of a name]
Hi !
I just came back !
This show was just AMAZING !
But I do not know, I have bad luck for this day....
Unfortunatly, my camera just decided to say "f...ck you" when we arrived in Paris. So I just have my phone for my pictures.
Then, I had to find my friends on coldplaying who were in standing place.... But I could not find my friends !
But I met Virginie and Patricia, they signed my Teddy Bear !
After that, I noticed I have forgot to bring lots of stuff and I was pretty sad.
We went to the concert and Chris said we will not have our LRLRL, today.
And after that, we were completely lost, at 1.30 AM !!!! We were exhausted AND lost !
Here is my concert review.
Well, I was here hours before the show, juste because I wanted to see my friends on coldplaying. I was overexcited, of course. I saw their trucks and I was just . There were plenty of trucks ! And it was like a .... myth. THEIR trucks, in front of ME !!!
I was pretty sad because there were not as many coldplayers in red and white and with a crown as expected.
But sad also because my camera fucked for the first time ever THIS DAY !!!
At 7.00 PM, I decided to enter because I wanted to see the supporting acts.
It was Bat for Lashes. Pretty Good. The singer was disguised in Indian. Nice.
Then, I went to see the trucks and the roadies. I saw Jackie. And I suddently felt very good. I was hoping for meeting the band, I did not know why !
So, I missed Flaming lips. I just see this band few secondes. And I did not meet Coldplay.
I suddently heard Magnificient and I runned like a crazy girl ! Then, it was Kanye West and we saw the Dancing Roadie, Wayne ! He is amazing, eh ?
I almost yelled because I have seen Miller, then. He was taking pictures.
And then tadadadada dada dada....
The lights turned on. A,d it was a big roar. LIT began and Coldplay appears like 4 angels.
All my tribun suddently gets up. Me too, I am dancing, I am yelling. I am in another world. That's the Coldplay effect !
The phone wave was just AMAZING ! It was a huge success ! So beautiful !
I have to explain something.... When I am euphoric, I yell "yououh".... During this concert, I always yelled yououh !
My mom was like " eh calm down ! It's a concert !"
But VLV was the most intense moment according to me. I do not know, it was moving. All these people who were single ohohohohoh.....
During The Hardest Part, Chris sat in front of his piano, played during 3 secondes and left his piano with a "merci" . It was so funny !
The phone waves were AMAZING. So beautiful. And Chris explained the whole thing in French. So cute. I love the way he pronouced "mobile".
When the lights began to light up my area ( almost at the end of the show ! ), I took my signs. A nice girl took by her own one side and we began to yell and shaked it ! It was cool !
The, I show her my second sign and we laught and did the same thing. I am not sure they saw it but it was fun all the same ! I thanked her to help me to be a groupie.
Chris explained we will not have our LRLRL. The audience yelled.
He said something like that " If you want to complain, go to see the police. It is not our fault !" He said then, we will have LRLRL later thanks to Fnac if we kept our tickets.
I hoped it was a joke or something like that but NO. I was so upset and sad.
And the yellow encore with fans did not happen !
But it was great, I am happy ! But I do not know if it is just me but for this concert he did not speak very much. What a pitty, usually, you cannot stop him !
I tried to wait for the band but my mother was tired. So we left.
The, I met the "signs girls" she was singing ohohohoh with her boyfriend. She recognized me and his boyfriend told her for fun : "Hey, don't sing in front of her, she will become mad !!!"

Just come back too, I'm at work now so I post my review+photos/videos tonight! I was in 4th row just behind the coldplayers Chavi, Camille, Anna etc (who let me squizze in second row after the Viva remix *w*)... and just in front of Chris The show was AMAZING!!! My neck and shoulder hurt today, but i f*kin' don't care!!!! The boys were on fire as well as the crowd!!! Camille manage to show her banner to Miller who put his camera just in front of us!!! (Ihave blurry photos of him XD) I have great shots, I'm pretty proud of myself XD!!! Was good to see all the coldplayers!! For LRLRL, I thought that Chris was joking at first, but when he told us about the Fnac, we knew he wasn't.... I don't know if I'll get my CD cause I guess that just a few fnac in Paris that will deliver it and I'm not there anymore....>.>
But anyway, awesome night! (and Bat for lashe and FL were amazing!!!)
Next, Wembley!
