findingmywords Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Alrighty, I'll start a mini report Setlist: Life in Technicolor Violet Hill Clocks In My Place Viva la Vida 42 Yes The Scientist Chinese Sleep Chant* God Put a Smile Upon Your Face Square One Speed of Sound Trouble Lost! Strawberry Swing Yellow Death Will Never Conquer (Just recently released song off their website) Fix You Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love Encore: Death and All His Friends Our seats sucked. The Forum is a really really steep stadium so it's really small, but really high up and really steep. We were at the very side of the stage, almost behind it, at the second to last section. We were up against the wall of the stadium haha. The very back seats. But Oh well, it was really nice to see the audience and see it from a different point of view. Anyways, Chris sang amazingly. His voice was so sweet and so clear and crisp. He has such a good voice... He was so energetic, he talked to us a lot and made us laugh, and the band performed wonderfully. Overall it was a phenomenal show except for a couple voice crackles. It was the very first show of the US tour, so ours kicked everything off. At the beginning, after performing just two songs, he said "I can tell this is gonna be a good one." The crowd was amazing. We seriously sang back every single word and you could always hear the audience singing it back, for the old and new songs. There was such a great vibe and energy and you could tell everyone was having an awesome time. It was amazing and I had such a good time. It went by so fast! My favorites of the night would have to be Yellow, Fix You, Lovers in Japan, Viva la Vida, and Death and all his friends. Yellow made me want to cry... it was seriously one of the most beautiful things I ever heard. The whole entire audience was singing back and it was just amazing. It was an acoustic yellow, so it wasn't as epic as the original one. It was more calm and just ahhh. Haha I'm gonna upload my videos now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassiopée Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Thanks so much for the report and vids My seats are like yours, on the side but closer to the floor. Anyway, his voice is all that matter...but if I could see him a bit it could be nice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
findingmywords Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I know! You're Welcome! However, if I was to give a report on a Coldplay gig compared to a Mika gig, it would be a whoooolle different story Mika's shows are much better in so many aspects. Coldplay focuses more on just playing good music. They play their music, and that's it. But with Mika, it's everything. Mika's shows are so much more enjoyable... Gah! If I were to rate Mika's show it would be a 10 Coldplay would be a 7 and a half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annabelle Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Sounds like an amazing and unforgettable show. Can't wait for September now. Thanks for your great report! PS:I'm really glad to see they played some "older" songs too, especially Fix You. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daydreambeliever Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 OHMY GOOOOSH! AHAHHAHHA! Ok, so I was watching Vanessa's videos (lovely by the way! Yeah, the seats could have been better...but still you were there! And Chris sounded great!! And so did the audience! Yellow is such a sweet song. If any guy sang that to me, I'd die...) and I glanced at the "related videos" section and saw this half naked guy. He looked like this guy who was in my English class. So I clicked on it...and it's him!!:lmfao: What a shocker. I was laughing for about five minutes... I have no idea who Carmen is though. And what this song has to do with her... http://youtube.com/watch?v=_98PHU616vw&feature=related His other "Carmen" videos are quite amusing as well. Random. But oddly sweet.

And if you do, Tell him to do a Mika song Keeping this Coldplay-related...concert's coming up this Friday...After watching those videos, I just might lose my voice again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I'm not going to tell him. I never really talked to him in the first place and I don't want it to seem like I was stalking him or anything. Oh, you're going on Friday??!! Coool! Have fun!!!
