Cris_Santos Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 It's so ironic that we have a bunch of audio/video files from so many different events despite security warnings and the best we can get from an entire set inside a fan house comes from the official website :blank: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldplay12 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 coldplay:Santogold interview Santogold interview July 24, 2008 5:07 pm We catch up with Coldplay's latest support act With acclaimed electro-popster Santogold supporting Coldplay on the current leg of the tour (until Boston on August 4th), Coldplay.com gave her a shout. Hello Santogold, how are you? Hi, I'm doing pretty good. On the tour bus headed to Philly from Chicago. Just woke up. Everyone's making fun of my silky zebra print pajamas. 2008 seems to have been a great year for you, have you enjoyed it? It's been an amazing year so far! It's been really exciting, but a lot of hard work. I've been trying to take advantage of all the opportunities, but the schedule has been beating me down. I kept losing my voice, but I'm trying to learn how to navigate through it all in a way that allows me to keep myself intact. Have you been looking forward to your dates with Coldplay? Yes, I'm really honored to be invited along on the tour! It'll be great to play in front of a new audience and attempt to win over some new fans. Plus we get to see Coldplay do their thing! I saw one show so far and it gave me chills at one point. It's so great to see so many people so excited and engaged in a song and performance, singing along and waving their arms around. It's electric. Were you already a fan of the band? I have been a Coldplay fan since the first record. I think the songs are great and that Chris has such a beautiful and unique voice. Have you played in these kind of arena venues before? Prior to this tour I had played an arena venue on the Bjork tour. It's a very different experience, especially when you're the opener. It's so vast and dark, you can't really see the audience, but you know they're out there. And as the opener, they're just kind of silently taking you in. It's really up to us to bring our own energy to the stage. These are the first shows I'm playing with a full band since last September, so that is exciting for me. And we're attempting to play more of the live songs on the album than I was able to play on my shows with the DJ sets. One of the gigs is in your home town, Philadelphia. Do you have any plans for that one? Is it a venue you've been to gigs at yourself? I'm really excited for the Philadelphia show. I have a bunch of friends coming, which is always fun. I'm pretty sure I've been to the venue before, but I honestly don't remember for what. How would you describe your music to any Coldplay fans who haven't heard it? I would say it's pop music, but a real mash up of many different styles: dub/reggae, punk, indie rock, new wave, and electronic music, all rolled up in one show, sometimes all in one song. With the album being quite electronic, how does your music work live? There are actually a lot of live elements in most of the songs on the record. In the past when I was performing with a DJ and dancers, I wasn't able to really bring those elements to life on stage, but now with the band in place, it's great because we can really play all the live elements, and play the more rock songs that I was unable to perform without a band. What's on your rider? Our rider sucks right now, but we keep thinking of things to make it better. We have fruit, vegetables, chips, guacamole, water, juice, and beer on now. But I'd like to add Throat Coat tea, vitamins, and fruit for fresh juice, because I think we're going to buy a juicer to bring along. We need healthy stuff to keep up our road stamina. Maybe some candles, and fun stuff to make the constant traveling more comfortable. Finally, what's your favourite Coldplay song? Well, I have a few. I love Yellow, Clocks, and their new song, Lost. Those are all beautiful, wonderfully-written songs. To find out more about Santogold, click here to check out her MySpace. **lolo** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzanafg Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Roadie #42 - Blog #14 July 25, 2008 2:06 pm #42 tells of unexpected encores in Chicago... So today we exchange the sun-drenched palms of Western California for the 'Windy City' of Chicago. It's a rudely early awakening for the flight - made no better by the fact that I didn't really start packing until about 2am. We get to the plane and the luggage van looks like an explosion in a childcare store. You can't help but wonder whether the huge burst of bright colour and 'home-made' artwork that have come along with this record are a result of all the new Coldplay young'uns. I remember Will telling me that in the very early days, they used to sell 'Official Coldplay Baby-Grows' on the t-shirt stand. I wonder if they're thinking of starting again? The show today sees the band's old mate Mat Whitecross on site with a full crew to capture the show for posterity. For those of you wondering where he fits into the picture, take a look on the timeline in September 1999. Funny to watch that back and realise that plans changing at the very last minute isn't exactly a new thing in the world of Coldplay! Currently, the setlist is receiving the force of the band's tweaking spanner. Every time it changes, the entire crew need to know about it. To this end, production assistant Marguerite prints a heap of setlists and puts them in a folder on the Production Office door, Every time there is a change, the old pile goes in the recycle bin and a new bunch get printed. I can't help but laugh when I realise there's been so many versions, that the latest pile has been placed directly on top of the recycling bin ready for the inevitable. Such faith! To be honest, I'm all for it. When the shows become too set in stone boredom can creep in pretty quickly. Consequently, I'm utterly delighted when tonight, there is a completely unexpected second encore. The show ends as normal and I realise that I don't know if the band are doing a 'runner' (ie getting straight in vans to the hotel and screeching off before the traffic traps them). If they are, I need to be with them, to avoid being left behind. I'm assured though, that Jonny and Guy have left, but everyone else is hanging around for a while. I go back to my world under the stage to grab my things and drum-tech Bash tells me they're going back on. "They can't be, - Guy and Jonny have gone". He points to the stage, where true enough, Will and Chris are climbing back up the steps. The crowd goes understandably bonkers as the stripped down band try to work out what to do. They settle on Green Eyes - Will on piano and Chris on acoustic. It's funny watching them, thinking that the two of them started off busking together in Covent Garden ten years ago and (literally) couldn't get arrested. All these years on and all these miles from home, here they are in front of this huge crowd who know every word. Funny how it works out, eh? Day two in Chicago sees more filming with Mat. Soundcheck is a perfect time for the cameras to get in close, without being all over the stage and in people's way during the show. The guys bound through Lost! a few times. I have to admit, they do well summoning the enthusiasm, given that last night's screaming crowd of sixteen thousand has been replaced by about 50 hungover roadies and a bunch of cameras. The soundcheck then opens its doors to a bunch of competition winners who get treated to an impromptu Warning Sign along with a totally unexpected track from the album sessions that I've never even heard them play before - I couldn't even tell you what it was called! Talk about exclusive... As showtime approaches, Arlene, the band's lovely management assistant asks me if I want to 'do some tickets'. I often don't understand what she's talking about - she's Scottish, so it's to be expected. She explains though, that the front five rows of seats are never sold. These tickets are purposely held by the band to give to fans from the very back of the arena who will appreciate them to the full. What a fabulously mad idea! I decide to take the stairs way, way up to the "nosebleeds" in the third tier, where I'll distribute my fistful of tickets. The first thing I feel is vertigo. You wouldn't want to lose your balance up here! I start explaining to a few folks what I'm up to and at first they simply don't believe me. Especially as I have to exchange their tickets to avoid them simply heading outside to sell these prized seats. Eventually, once I convince them, they go properly bananas, skipping off high fiving and hugging. Word gets round and suddenly I'm swamped. There's a crowd gathering and I only have three tickets. Everyone is in fours or twos. I can't leave empty spaces down in the front rows. Suddenly it's not quite as fun, but suddenly, someone makes a new friend and a group of three claim the tickets. I see the front rows filling up as I'm setting up one of Guy's cameras at the front of the stage. I can see five rows of people who can't believe their luck, turning round and pointing at seats way up high in the back where they used to be. They're having a great night and the intro tape hasn't even started yet... Tonight sees another unexpected encore. They go back to a track that I believe was called The Dubliners. I guess there's a pretty strong Irish community in Chicago, so the country tinged folk-stomp goes down a storm. Tonight is a "runner" so once I see that the song is going well, I head for the vans. It seems I'm a little early though. Apparently, they did Green Eyes as well, this time with Jonny, too. Eventually, they dive into the cars and the police sirens start for the escort. Nobody can work out whether soundman Dan Green is stuck in the crowd trying to get out, or if nobody told him it was a runner tonight. Either way, the police escort is screaming up the ramp and our van has to follow. Still, it's a day off next, so he has got 24 hours to find his way to the hotel.... http://coldplay.com/newsdetail.php?id=79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
