Coldplay.com catches up with Will

Hello Will. Where are you?
I’m in Paris, in the environs of the Bercy dressing room complex.

How’s the European tour been going so far?
Very well thank you.

Does it feel different to the North American tour?
Yeah, it does. We’ve changed the set slightly. We felt like for the American tour we had to come out guns blazing and we didn’t really feel confident about a couple of the new songs yet. But I think with the record having been out a little longer, people are getting used to its songs. We also had people like Phil saying that Cemeteries Of London, for example, has been going down really well in Europe and online and all that. So we thought, let’s try and branch out a little. We’re doing a couple of newer additions, Cemeteries being the main one.

The British group flood Madrid and Barcelona with great performances
Does not matter to them to have million of fans, but fans that shout very high

They came warning that its band has been now “more attractive than for three years” and Madrid and Barcelona have received to them with the opened ears, this is, a pair of tens of thousands of spectators in each seat. Before the skittle of the capital, Telecinco News has had the pleasure to make an interview in exclusive right where they have confessed his homing to compose without fastenings, its love to Spain, the Latin public and… the blue tables.

Live from the venue in Lyon! [updated periodically...]

10.28pm: And we’re done. Amazing gig. Hope you enjoyed tagging along. See you next time…

Anchorman

10.17pm: We made it just in time for the end of the B-stage bit, which is where the first pic is from. The other two are from Viva La Vida, which made 16,000 people go extremely tingly. It was quite a wrench to leave them all singing as we came back to post these. Roy Castle would be proud of us.

The key to live photography: take dozens and two or three might be half-decent

9.55pm: And here’s one of Guy. Right, the B-stage section just started, we’ll see if we can dash and take some pics of that.

9.46pm: Anchorman would never, not ever, claim to be a great live photographer. But these were taken during Fix You, which lifted the ceiling of the venue at least another few feet higher.

In other news, there’s a HUGE thunder storm going on outside the venue.

9.27pm: The chaps are on now, and the atmosphere is amazing in there. Here’s a pic of them just before they went on, with tour manager Franksy…

8.58pm: Twelve minutes until stage time…

8.51pm: You’ll never guess who we just ran into… [Read more]

Q. Dear Oracle, I just saw photos from BBC radio 2 Coldplay show, and I want to ask one question : did Chris really cut his hair?

The Oracle replies:
Well it’s not trick photography my friend!

September 4, 2008 - submitted by Emily, United States of America
Q. Ok, so you are walking down the street when you find 50 dollars just laying on the sidewalk. Nobody else is around. What would you do, Oracle, and what do you think the members of Coldplay would do?
A:Take it and spend it, baby!
B:Take it and save it for a rainy day.
C:Take it to the police station to see if anyone reported losing 50 dollars.
D:Take it and donate it to a charity or shelter. They need the money most!

Thanks, XOXO, Emily
