Today, I found seven pages about a Coldplay Tour Diary on http://www.mtv.de . It's about a VJane called Paola Maugeri (MTV Italy) who's a friend of Chris Martin. In autumn, she had the possibility to visit Coldplay for a week during their US-Tour, because she got an "Access All Areas Pass" for the "Rolling Stone Magazine Italy". Unfortunately the diary is only in German. Maybe you will find the same diary in your language on your MTV site.

Thanks!

 

Paula Maugeri actually did an interview with the boys (was shown on MTVItalia) and it's quite amazing. Doesn't surprise me that she'd have a tour diary section featuring the boys.

 

Thanks ;)

Thanks for the link...yes she's a very professional interviewer...and I love that one she had with the guys in April (actually on Guy's birthday)...sometimes interviews are very boring, cause they always ask the same things, but you can see she's really interested and knows what she has to ask...I'll check if there's something on the MTV Italy website :cool:

[Denise]

Just found it here...I'm sorry but it's all in Italian...anyway I think there's more here than in the German website because you can also find something about what I was talking before, the interview they had in April and how they had a party for Guy's birthday, and she was there asking for some vegan food, the first time she didn't feel weird about it because Chris is vegetarian ( :rolleyes: :rolleyes: and I am too :P )

 

If you want I can translate it for you :cool:

[Nettie]

Ooh! Yes please!

 

Thanks in advance iriden!! :cool:

Paola Maugeri is VJay with MTV Italy and for some time friendly with Coldplay singers Chris Martin. In the autumn it was allowed to accompany the volume for the ' Rolling Stone of magazines Italy ' with its US route - with an ACCESS universe AREAS passport! Here their report over friendship, intimate views of the route everyday life, is vegane Buffets and more... Text: Paola Maugeri photo: Cesare Cicardini translation: Benjamin Klumpp I won a ' price ': one week America route with Coldplay! The route has three stages: Minneapolis, Kansas town center and Dallas. In the hometown from Prince is the prelude. A mad thing - I call all friends, I tell it to everyone. I can expect it hardly to it finally loose-gone.

begin to present to me everything in the smallest detail: which I will say, what I would tell gladly and then the questions, which I will place. A in the afternoon pass I with EMI - the disk company of Coldplay -, in order to read me all articles, which ever appeared over the volume. I fetch two rappelvolle binders with everything which over it was ever written at the press office. In addition I read times each Songtext individually and sound myself to x-to ten times their three CDs. Then finally the day of the takeoff comes. There we are now on 19 September at 10:30 o'clock in the morning at the airport Milan Malpensa. I checke for the flight to Newark, new jersey - for intermediate stop before my final goal: Minneapolis, Minnesota. Briefly after the start I fall asleep. I surprise myself with it, as I must think of my first Coldplay concert, with which I in Misterbianco in the proximity of Catania was. Their first single had appeared straight, and they were young twenty-year-old ones, which were pleased about the fact that their route had brought them to such a ' exotic ' place. Chris Martin told me the fact that he had in Catania the best dinner of its life - a well covered board where all courts was served at the same time - a detail, which he does not forget. Since then five years passed. In the meantime they became men, are married, decreased, are in Top form and first of all them star became.

Thought during the flight to America... In past April MTV had asked me to interviewen Coldplay in the context of the publication of ' X & Y '. It was a beautiful time for me: three months I had before had my thousandth interview with U2 in Dublin and after I heard one year only Tango, verlietbe I me finally again in this good, healthy skirt & roll, which saved the life to me! The interview took place in large May countries a hotel - I was loaded and curious with energy to see, how these four had young developed. A half hour of love-worth maintenance confirmed the theory that, talentierter ever and more carried out humans are, the more ready is it for an open maintenance. At the end I put radix complements in for the interview and from them to the dinner was invited. The dinner was then also more than pleasant. Fortunately is Chris Martin vegetarian - he was selected even recently to the ' sexiesten vegetarian of the world ' and is finally times not evaluated in such a way then also my demand for veganem meal as eccentric. I was at a table with twelve further people, in order to celebrate the birthday of the shyest man skirt & Roll's: Bassist Guy Barryman. The candles were ausgepustet already and I tried the suitable moment abzupassen, in order to discharge me. I love Tango - in this evening a performance of a very good Argentine dancer and those were wanted I in no case to miss. I found the correct moment and rose straight, when Chris asked me, where I mean evening further would spend. I answer it. Within fewer minutes I was with Chris Martin and Kelly, its Bodyguard, in a taxi. We drove the custom of the Tangos toward ' Circolo Arci ' in the via Bellezza, where once per week elegantly dressed ladies and Buenos Aires Nostalgiker meet, in order to froehnen. Nearly two months offense and because I am anyway straight in Germany on the way, I decide, to make a excursion its concert in Berlin. I welcome it briefly baking steam turbine and gas turbine systems and then: the concert! A very beautiful Live set and I believe to understand its secret: If these four sell one young over 20 million plates and are located in 32 countries (my estimation) in the Charts on place, then is because them music compose and write, which becomes immediately a classical author.

In this evening, on the stage of the Wuhlheide it seems to me in such a way as I with a Live appearance of Prince, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan or U2 would be. Clearly, which is artist those is very far from each other, but they are all together born to set an indication. It is already for a long time ago that ' young ' volume with their Live set woke such a great feeling in me. Fortunately there are still those, which write their Songs from creative motivation. Fortunately there are still those, which write their Songs from creative motivation. Because you only create it to make music which becomes the classical author immediately, if you are really honest and if you believe, die to have, if you do not write. On 11 July Coldplay play its only Italy concert in the arena of Verona. I participate invited and with a valuable VIP passport at the neck equipped, by the volumes. This day I will never forget.

Arrival in Minneapolis... In this evening they really give everything and leave 15,000 people with open kinnladen. There is one moment, which burned itself into my memory first of all: during ' in My Place ' Chris ranks of the arena climbs up, in order to then sit down also to over-crossed legs on the highest stage. Far above. Far away. It becomes practically a small point. And from there it looks at us above, sees its dream form assuming. It sees 15,000 people singing to its Song. And perhaps it remembers also, how they were four years before it in the proximity and played before a public of 50 men also here.

I wake up again. The airplane will directly land. Minneapolis is with students, the sun lets the bitumen full melt and immediately has I the impression that the whole city would prepare for the concert in this evening. Tourists are not usual in Minneapolis, like also not in Kansas town center, but everywhere where I look, I see people from the most distant regions, which traveled because of Coldplay. I befriend myself with four girls from Winnipeg in Canada at and with a woman, who with its three sons the far way of fargo - the lonely city in the American province, which is portraitiert in the film of the Coen of brothers - until Minneapolis on itself took. In the Coldplay public one finds the most different faces: Families, dear couples, music lovers and many, many girls, which see their perfect man probable in it, for marrying - the skirt star from next door. While after the concert in Minneapolis me Chris confirms this impression to a maintenance the fact that the public is very mixed and tells me that he saw two evenings standing on the concert before in Nashville a 80-year old woman beside a 14-Jaehrigen in the first row. Both sang and it were agitated. He says, to him pleases it to have such a public because it is all the same to it whether it is cool. I ask it whether he knows that Bono represented once the same idea, by saying that only which interests him is not ' cool ' to be, but ' hot '! We must laugh both.

Within baking steam turbine and gas turbine systems the range a straight relaxed atmosphere does not prevail, for it however a very luxurioese. It gives a Catering for the crew and one for the volume, a Masseuse with particularly area furnished for it and also a Japanese cook, which prepare Sushi beside an enormous ice block. The name Coldplay is struck into the ice block and troepfelt before itself. Besides a table stands, at which large, round cookies with Coldplay Logo glaze are served. The money machine Coldplay makes meanwhile hundredthousands dollar per evening. There are many people, which work for her and many assistants, who then also me and Cesare, whom photographers leave, into the vorraum to the stage, where those spends volume the last moments before the concert. I feel privileged. It is beautiful with them to be allowed to experience such a intimate moment - the moment in that the volume their unit and her singularness finds and the necessary concentration collects, in order to conquer a public, which can hardly still expect it. With Johnny at the guitar they join in for ' fixed You ', the song them all sing themselves common, and in the meantime fummeln they the Ear of monitor in the ear, make breath exercises and ease their hand and neck musculature. I remain sitting in my corner on the soil and eat strawberries of the wonderful Buffet. This unreal atmosphere becomes of Andy Franks, which route manager that volume interrupted, which announces that still three minutes up to the appearance remain. Andy is love-worth humans, he works for December with Coldplay. Before it it was seven years with Robbie Williams and twenty years with Depeche mode on the way. Can present you to her, how much this humans have to tell?! Next time I become it interviewen!

There Gwyneth is... We follow them to behind the stage. They embrace themselves. They are ready. One behind the other gereiht they step on the stage and before Chris took its position, I run with speed of light into the first row, in order mean favourite moment to enjoy: the thunder, with which concerts begin! A beautiful Live set, an enormous amount in humans and the woman from fargo with its three sons, who are located in the third row, does not believe its eyes. There is 20,000 humans, who along-sing all songs. The four ' British Fellows ', how they are called here in America, give their best: they improvise, them laugh, them harmonize old pieces with new melodies and them add unplanned. As for example as it ' Trouble ' play, which they otherwise never play, or as them ' their friend from Italy ' their favourite song: ' Till Kingdom Come ' dedicate. Totally Geil! When the concert past is, we go before the Venue into a bar which drinking. We see it a half hour later going away in a Van with colluded disks. Now we can also go sleeping. We see ourselves tomorrow in Kansas town center. We arrive punctual in the Missouri. Despite an unbelievable heat - which indicates thermometers 37 degrees - we feel relieved. Under Minneapolis they had classified us at the airport as ' suspiciously ' and we had a ' Special in such a way specified Treatment ' over us be issued to let. The gentlemen of security individually controlled each piece in our luggage. A Albtraum. I give Chris Martin right, if he says that the only people category which one to be afraid has the safety responsible persons at airports is. Still with eyes and heart full enthusiasm of the previous evening, we arrive with baking steam turbine and gas turbine systems the entrance of the ' Verizone Wireless of center '. Thousands of motives for photo in the head and no glow of the surprise, which will expect us briefly thereafter.

We will receive from Andy and Vicky - their personal female assistant -. With the usual friendliness, but with a harder clay/tone, the two explain to us that in this evening Gwyneth Paltrow locally is: this meant that if Mrs. Martin is here, photographers does not wait is. Cesare stows thus its equipment away again in its backpack, while we saunter baking steam turbine and gas turbine systems within the range, which has something special in this evening obviously. Even the Catering is particularly various: to the half it consists of veganen meals, which the beautiful Gwyneth seems to estimate as Makrobiotikerin. She says ' yummy ', when she sees a leckere Tofu plate, which I had by the way already sighted from a meter distance. Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow are a beautiful pair. This evening Chris shines, certainly completely particularly motivated by the presence of the nut/mother of its daughter Apple, which pursues the concert from the stage. That Live set in Kansas town center runs so smoothly that it makes fun and also definitely conquered the public from Missouri. While I go to the exit, I state that the people hear Coldplay on their way home still. I hear the eleven Songs of ' X & Y ' come both from cars and from LKWs. These songs, which I can do meanwhile all by heart, accompany me in the hotel, to I mean eyes close and the emotions and pictures, which I carry in me for the tiredness place make.

Storm over Texas... On the next morning awake I with a certain unrest up - on the television report all transmitters on the hurricane, which is to sweep shortly over Texas. There we want exactly: two million American from the coastal region after Dallas were evacuated. I call Andy and explain to me the fact that the concert in Houston was gecancelt but which we can be also calmed down, because in Dallas as will planned take place. ' calmed down its ', he says so easily... I steige in the airplane after Dallas and my heart on the size of a small nut shrank, but I try to convince of the fact that the American media tend to the exaggeration. In Dallas a calm atmosphere actually prevails - would not be these two million humans the one roof over the head in the city of the legendary TV series search there and thus each hotel occupy. Fortunately our rooms are already for a long time reserved and everything are thus OK ONE.

We finish fast and call a taxi to the ' Smirnoff Music center '. Arrived us a ' ACCESS universe AREAS ' passport is hardly umgehaengt and communicated that those waits volume for us. Cesare shoots photos like a crazy person, I maintenance me with Jonny and enjoys the finally eased atmosphere: Chris plays Ping Pong - first with wants and then with its father, who traveled from England, in order to visit him. Briefly after it gibt's still another Meet&Greet with a lucky texanischen fan. It is my last evening with Coldplay, the concert already nearly begins and I has still another dream to carry out: I would like to accompany it to short before the stage. Once I would like to be quasi also on the stage, ' Almost Famous ' and this thunder from hear, where he comes. Desire fulfills. The feeling is unique. They open with ' Square One ', the public hear not on to applaud and I enjoy the concert from the stage side. My eyes are only for her thank you there and secretly I Lou Reed and Miles Davis and their music for the fact that they gave me the most beautiful occupation of the world © Rolling Stone of magazines Italy

A few words over Paola...

It was a rainy day in the middle of May everything ran. Directly in the rain or along the course May countries of a hotel. The journalists ran, because the excitement was large for the new Coldplay album (and of ' X & Y ' gab's so far only the single). Of the disk company ran. Also we of the Rolling Stone ran, with our photographers, because we had to shoot the photos for the title page of expenditure for July in a very scarcely computed hour. There was only one person those did not run: it was Paola Maugeri. She did not run, because she had prepared the interview, which had to make her for MTV, up to perfection (which one of the beautiful things at Paola is: she really believes into her occupation). And it did not run, because it was excited (which a further beautiful thing at Paola is: it can become enthusiastic still for music). Fact is that on this day, when we all ran Paola, Chris Martin and the remainder of the troop of friends became. So much that they together went to meals still in the same evening and so much that she got an invitation for accompanying its US route. Thus history on these sides was born. Thus Paola came into the baking steam turbine and gas turbine systems of ranges from Minneapolis, Kansas town center and Dallas.
