Guest Grace Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 translation! what coldplay delivered on stage in mannheim was the wickedest thing i've ever heard/seen/felt/enjoyed and experienced. it was an experience for all senses right from the beginning. you felt as though you were at a completely different place after the end. not of one's own accord though but you were taken there by a band that's full of fun, joy, positivity and energy, which is justifiably labled as "world stars". i was and still am torn if this concert could be reason to finally claim after 30 years of attending countless concerts: this was it. it can't get any better. however, nobody could ever take away what i experience in mannheim. never. thank you for that!

Larry Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Thanks SteDie! :) Well I just found another great article (the last stanza is written amazingly good and fits very well IMO). Perhaps I will have the time to translate it tomorrow or Grace is able to do so. :D -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pop: Coldplay bieten 13 000 Zuschauern in Mannheim eine gereifte, runde Rock-Show, die ihrem Weltstar-Status gerecht wird Verlieren, ohne verloren zu sein Von unserem Redaktionsmitglied Jörg-Peter Klotz Am Anfang gibt es nicht viel zu sehen: Coldplay steigen wie verirrte Heidelberger Studenten auf die Bühne der SAP Arena und halten die Effekte dabei zunächst in engen Grenzen. Neben der obligatorischen Licht-Offensive versucht lediglich eine mattblaue Kugel gegen den Anzeigen-Würfel an der Hallendecke anzuschimmern. Den kompletten Bühnenhintergrund füllt majestätisch, aber statisch das Cover ihrer aktuellen CD "Viva La Vida", Delacroix' Gemalde "Die Freiheit führt das Volk an". Als Bilderstürmer und Revoluzzer gelten die vier Londoner bei Rock-Puristen nicht gerade - zu viel Gutmenschentum, zu wenig Stachel im Gehörgang. Aber die Art, wie Sänger Chris Martin beim Start ihrer Deutschland-Tour in Mannheim sein Publikum anführt, zeigt, dass es Coldplay mit der Ankündigung ernst war, mit "Viva La Vida" ihr Weichspüler-Image zu zertrümmern. Schon "Violet Hill", das eingängigste der neuen Stücke, liefert live ein Wechselbad aus gitarrengesteuerter Härte und folkiger Feingliedrigkeit. Immer noch Mut zum Wohlklang Zum jungen Klassiker "Clocks" zerschneiden gute, alte Supertramp-Laser den Blick auf die Bühne, die mattblaue Kugel wird zur Projektionsfläche des Bühnen- und Weltgeschehens. Im Laufe des Abends verwandeln bis zu sechs dieser Globen das Konzert teilweise in eine spektakuläre Videoinstallation. Wie auch Coldplay im Vergleich zu ihrem teilweise matten Auftritt im November 2005 in der Maimarkthalle zu einer reifen Live-Band mutiert sind, die sich den Mut zum Wohlklang nicht nehmen lässt und trotzdem Kanten zeigt. Das Publikum reagiert euphorisch auf den höheren Energie-Level, singt ab "In My Place" stimmgewaltig mit und lässt sich auf das live noch facettenreichere neue Material mindestens ebenso intensiv ein wie auf die alten Hymnen "Yellow" oder "Speed Of Sound". Den intimen Piano-Momenten von "Hardest Part" mit einem auf dem Catwalk gestrandeten Martin folgen mit dem grandiosen "Lost!" und "Viva La Vida" die größten Abräumer des Abends. Schwer zu toppen, sollte man meinen. Zumal die Bühne plötzlich still und leer ist. Völlig unerwartet - wie von Usain Bolt gehetzt - steht das Quartett Sekunden später auf einem Mini-Podest im Block 211, Unterrang, und spielt "unplugged". Besser kann man die Nähe zu seinen Fans beziehungsweise die Distanz zum abgehobenen Popstarwesen nicht demonstrieren. Auch wenn man wie Chris Martin und seine Ehefrau Gwyneth Paltrow sehr nah an der oberflächlichsten Scheinwelt überhaupt lebt: Hollywood. Der "heilige Chris" scheint sich trotz seiner superheilen Welt mit Glamour-Gattin und zwei entzückenden Kindern unkorrumpierbar einen Blick für die Abgründe der Gegenwart zu bewahren. Kein Wunder also, dass Coldplay eine der wichtigsten Bands für die Menschen sind, die zehn Jahre jünger oder älter sind als diese vier Musiker. Text und Gestus geben Hoffnung in der wertfrei und hohl gewordenen Wohlstandsgesellschaft, hinter deren Scheinsicherheit Hartz IV und Altersarmut die Zähne blecken. Wenn Chris Martin dann singt: "Nur weil ich verliere, heißt es nicht, dass ich verloren bin" ("Lost!") hat das für diese Generation Psalm-Charakter - auch wenn Popularmusik-Verächter Adorno zürnen würde, dass diese Art von Kunst nur dazu dient, die Menschen arbeitswillig und bei Laune zu halten. Aber der Sozialphilosoph hat auch nicht erlebt, wie eine Rock-Band mit sakralen Piano-Akkorden, dem fundamentalen Background-Gesang von Drummer Will Champion und einem Pathos, das U2s Bono blass werden lassen könnte, eine Sporthalle mit einem Schlussstück wie "Fix You" in die St. SAP Arena verwandelt. Grenzwertig, aber schön. Source: http://www.morgenweb.de/nachrichten/kultur/20080904_srv0000003083788.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just prefer - Chinese Sleep Chant to Don't Panic Speed of Sound to Square One and Death Will Never Conquer to Shiver And add Reign Of Love lol... when coldplay does their next interview i'll be emailing the question to who ever the interviewer and where ever it is about reign of love like some people did in this forum if they continue not playing that song.:thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
