Supernintendo Chalmers Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Coldplay get a fair bit of stick on here but they're made for that Pyramid, aren't they? For so many reasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like a day at the festival, moving from stage to stage. Very clever. I hadn’t thought about that. But yeah, that’s a good point. A presenter would have ruined the flow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was seeing people playing music in our spiritual home that really got you in the feels. Yup, if it had been the same acts in somewhere like Alexander Palace I wouldn't have enjoyed it half as much. More excited to see Bella's Bridge than most of the acts. 6 minutes ago, Supernintendo Chalmers said: I think one of the biggest positives about this whole event, in addition to how it flows in a chronological order, is the fact that there's no annoying presenter breaking up the continuity. It feels like a day at the festival, moving from stage to stage. Very clever. Loved how it progressive got darker too. The idea of it being actually live had been long put to bed but it did give the illusion of the night drawing in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
found home in 2009 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 I'm 45 mins behind as had problems getting it to work to begin with, but Haim are definitely highlight for me so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernintendo Chalmers Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Definitely like to see a headliner do a set in the round like this. Dunno how practical it would be but I really like the Pyramid as the backdrop rather than the focal point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lighthouse Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) What's up with Chris Martins vocals. Very, very wobbly here during the whole set. Hard to listen to. Edited May 23, 2021 by lighthouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Chris Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Was tempted to dig out my coldplay wristband during their set. A bit of alteration to the electronics and the addition of a micro switch and it still works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

found home in 2009 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Coldplay staging is brilliant, but music bores me to tears. Started watching late and this is the first time I've been tempted to skip forward, despite the cool fireworks and lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
