Coldplay i Globen

 

Det hör till standardrepertoaren att arenarockband har en liten avdelning mitt i konserten då de skalar ner till en mindre sättning. Kanske rent av lämnar scenen för någon mindre avsats ute i publiken. Coldplay gillar den sortens upptåg så mycket att de gör två stycken.

 

Först traskar hela bandet längst ut på den ena av de två scentungor som skjuter ut i publikhavet, och som annars mest är till för sångaren att springa på. Där trummisen Will Champion får nöja sig med en liten syntpad-rektangel i stället för trumset. Då är det halvtid i showen, ungefär.

 

Bara ett par låtar efter att de har återtagit sin stora scen är det dags igen. Då rusar de ner i publiken och upp på ena läktaren, där det högt upp gömmer sig en liten mikroscen. För de fyra att tränga ihop sig och spela akustiskt på. Och låta Will Champion sjunga "Death will never conquer", en otypisk sak med drag av Woody Guthrie och gospel, medan frontfiguren Chris Martin spelar munspel.

 

Själv trodde jag nog att Coldplay skulle hålla sig för goda för sådant. Att det här var ett band som tog sig på lite för stort allvar för att publikflirta så där ohämmat. Men det verkar knappt finnas någon hejd på hur mycket de vill blinka åt och småtramsa med publiken.

 

Därför frågar Chris Martin hur vi har det, regelbundet som efter ett schema. Han berömmer publikens sånginsatser och lägger in lätt modifierade publikfriarrader i flera låtar (den tunga, seriösa "Politik" avslutas till exempel med frasen "give me, give me Swedish girls"). Han trallar till och med en stump på Robyns och Kleerups "With every heartbeat".

 

Däremot säger han inte ett ord om den kampanj som välgörenhetsorganisationen Oxfam driver i foajén.

 

Detta är inte alls det språk som gruppens musik talar, men kontrasten är faktiskt av godo. Även om de snygga scenografidetaljerna betyder mer - som de kulörta jättebollarna med snurrande mönster, eller laserljusen som ritar mönster på väggen för den som tittar åt fel håll, bort från scenen.

 

Allra mest väsentligt är dock att Coldplay just har gjort sin bästa skiva. Producerad av Brian Eno är "Viva la vida or death and all his friends" gruppens mest melodiska, mest varierade, mest helgjutna hittills.

 

De tycks veta om det själva, för de spelar i princip hela. Och det låter genomgående så stort och fylligt på bara fyra man att man lite grann undrar vad som skulle kunna tänkas vara förpreparerat.

 

Det gör också att konserten inte alls bara blir den långa rad av monumentala halvballader som man kunde ha fruktat. Utan en riktigt välkomponerad tillställning, där Chris Martin byter dels mellan gitarr och piano, dels mellan en kraftröst som närmar sig Bono och en ljusare, känsligare som förklarar en del av de gamla jämförelserna med Radiohead.

 

Som arenarockare är de inte ens anmärkningsvärt popmpösa. Visst, de fyller ut en fullsatt Glob utan problem, men jag är inte alls säker på att ett Stadion eller Ullevi skulle gå lika lätt. I jämförelse med ett fullt utvuxet stadionband som U2 kan man till och med kalla dem lågmälda.

 

Också när det mest omfattande konfettiregn faller i "Lovers in Japan" eller när en pluton smått bländande strålkastare markerar rytmkrevaderna i "Death and all his friends".

Anders Nunstedt: Coldplay är större än någonsin!

 

Erövrare. Chris Martin, sångare i Coldplay som håller på att erövra de stora arenorna världen över. I dag spelar de på ett fullsatt Globen. Långt i från sin första spelning i Sverige, i en källarlokal på söder i Stockholm år 2000. Foto: ALL OVER PRESS

 

Från ett anonymt källarband till ett av världens största. I dag och i morgon spelar Coldplay för två fullsatta Globen. - Vi är extremt uppeldade, säger sångaren Chris Martin.

 

Till skillnad från majoriteten av de världsartister som uppträtt i Globen under 2000-talet har Coldplay inte sin bästa tid bakom sig.

I en musikvärld där skivförsäljningen rasat pekar bandets försäljningssiffror snarare uppåt.

Visserligen har senaste cd:n "bara" sålt i fem miljoner exemplar men, som Nina Nestlander på skivbolaget EMI konstaterar inför bandets Sverigebesök; "Det kommer att bli mer än det dubbla".

I kväll gör Coldplay den första av två utsålda konserter i Stockholm, och det är ingen dålig resa Londonbandet gjort sedan det bildades för tio år sedan.

 

I november 2000 spelade de i Sverige för första gången. Debuten var just släppt, men Coldplay var fortfarande relativt okända utanför London.

Sahara Hotnights Maria Andersson var en av de 300 besökarna på Kägelbanan i Stockholm.

- Jag var väldigt förtjust i "Parachutes"-skivan och minns det som en bra konsert, även om jag hamnade bakom en pelare (skratt). Chris Martin har inte förändrats så mycket sedan dess.

 

Thomas Johansson, chef på svenska bokningsbolaget Live Nation:

- Coldplay är en av få artister som är på väg mot de riktigt stora arenorna, som Ullevi. 27 000 biljetter är sålda i dag och i morgon och bara det är ju en Stadion-spelning.

Det är oklart om Coldplays sångare Chris Martin kommer att ha med sin fru, filmstjärnan Gwyneth Paltrow, och barnen Apple och Moses till Sverige. Gwyneth har en planerad filminspelning i Spanien i höst.

Så här säger Chris Martin om turnén i USA Today:

- Vi gör fortfarande allt för att bevisa varför vi fick det här jobbet som rockstjärnor från första början.

Swedish for Beginners

 

Source: http://andyschell.blogspot.com/2008/09/swedish-for-beginners.html

 

Last night Mia and I, and her old swimming friends Ida and Anna went to Globen Arena (incidentally, we live right next door), and saw Coldplay. I'm a casual Coldplay fan at best, and generally don't even listen to them unless someone else puts them on. Sometimes I think it's a bit gay to be a Coldplay fan, no? Last night was not gay.

 

Ida and Anna came over around 6pm, and since we only had a two minute walk to the Globen (which, resembles and enormous white golf ball), we had some dinner first. I prepared the finest curry I've ever eaten, and redeemed myself for my lackluster effort at Mia's friend's house the week before with Ryan. They girls supplied some wine. The three of them chatted in incomprehensible Swedish while I lounged on the couch looking at photos from New Zealand and wishing I could go back there, like now.

 

The one and half glasses of red wine I drank merely put me in somber, sleepy mood, and I spent the first half hour of the opening act (who happened to be the drummer from the Strokes - pretty sweet), yawning my brains out. As usual, there was about a 45 minutes delay between sets, and Coldplay finally came out around 9:30. Someone, Ryan maybe, or maybe Nate told me that they put on a good show - it didn't disappoint.

 

Chris Martin must be one speed or something, because he didn't sit still for the entire concert and was full of boundless energy. Even playing his piano he was jerking and gyrating around. The band truly looked like they were having an immense amount of fun. The songs were played with enormous energy, second only to Dave Matthews and his namesake Band in my opinion. In hindsight, it was probably the best 'stadium' concert I've ever been to. Well, maybe a close second to U2, my first concert in Philly with Nate and Dane. But anyway, it was surprisingly awesome.

 

And the audience was insane! They sang along to every song with remarkable clarity. During the brief intermission before the first encore, they were chanting and stomping and the whole place felt like it would cave in. Quite impressive.

 

At one point, the whole band ran off the stage and sprinted across the floor towards the back of the arena and proceeded to climb up the stairs to the lower level of seats, just under where we were seated. According to Martin, "We can't fly all the way to Sweden and not come visit the back!" They played two songs from right in the audience, and both included a harmonica.

Oh wow Im jelaous,5 more days pfff

Translated from: http://kulturbloggen.com/?p=1732

 

It belongs to standardrepertoaren to arenarockband have a small section in the middle of the concert when the peeling down to a small typesetting. Maybe even to leave the scene for a minor ledge out there in the audience. Coldplay like the kind of antics so much that they do two pieces.

 

First trudge all the band on the far one of the two scentungor that protrude into publikhavet, and that otherwise most is for the singer to run on. There drummer Will Champion may be content with a small syntpad-rectangle instead of drum kits. Then it is half-time in the show is about.

 

Only a couple of songs after they have withdrawn their big scene, it is time again. Then the rushing down into the audience and up on one gallery, where the top is hiding a small mikroscen. For the four to crowd together and play acoustic. And let Will Champion sing "Death will never conquer," an atypical thing in sets of Woody Guthrie and gospel, while the head Chris Martin plays harmonica.

 

Personally, I thought enough to Coldplay would hold itself to good on that. The fact that this was a band that took on a little too seriously to publikflirta where so fiercely. But it hardly seems to be no halt in how much they want to blink and småtramsa with the audience.

 

That is why Chris Martin how we have it, which, after a regular schedule. He praises the audience sånginsatser and add easily modified publikfriarrader in several songs (the heavy, serious "Politics", for example, ends with the phrase "give me, give me Swedish girls"). He grating up to a stump on Robyn and Kleerups "With every heartbeat."

 

By contrast, he says not a word about the campaign that the charitable organization Oxfam operates in the foyer.

 

This is not the language of the group's music speaks, but the contrast is actually a good thing. Although the stylish scenografidetaljerna means more - as they are coloured jättebollarna with the spinning pattern, or laserljusen that paints patterns on the wall for those who are looking in the wrong direction, away from the scene.

 

Most significantly, however, is that Coldplay has just done his best disc. Produced by Brian Eno's "Viva la vida or death and all his friends" the group's most melodic, most varied, most sterling so far.

 

They seem to know about it themselves, for they play in principle throughout. And it sounds consistently so large and rich in just four Monday that it little wonder what could possibly be förpreparerat.

 

It also means that the concert not only is the long series of monumental halvballader as one might have feared. Without a really well-event, in which Chris Martin switching between guitar and piano, and between a kraftröst approaching Bono and a brighter, more sensitive, which explains some of the old comparisons with Radiohead.

 

As arenarockare there is not even remarkable popmpösa. Sure, they fill out a crowded Glob without problems, but I am not at all sure that one or Ullevi Stadium would be as easy. In comparison with a full utvuxet stadionband as U2, it can be up to call them low-key.

 

In the most comprehensive konfettiregn fall in "Lovers in Japan" or in a platoon small dazzling headlamps marks rytmkrevaderna in "Death and all his friends."

[busybeeburns]

So damn good it is!

 

 

Vilken stjärna tar sitt band och lämnar scen, trampar ut genom publikhavet, klättrar upp alla trappor och ställer sig och spelar mitt i publiken längst bak i Globen? Ber en tjej att inte plåta hans mage, som han tycker är lite tjock? Hyllar Robyn och Kleerup med att lägga in ”With every heartbeat” i slutet av en av sina största hits? Ingen stjärna utom Chris Martin gör det.

 

Men förlåt. Nu började jag någonstans i slutet av Coldplays konsert på Globen. Redan i andra låten har kvartetten fyllt arenan med rött sken, vassa lasertrålar och en ”Clocks” som mynnar ut i ett bejublat STOCK–HOOOLM. Chris Martin studsar lätt över scenen på sina gummiben och fortsätter med ”In my place”. Sen fortsätter Coldplay att skruva upp nivån för varje minut tills allt är gult.

 

Det är helt stört.

 

Nya färger för varje låt

 

Varje låt är lika genomarbetad visuellt som musikaliskt. Sex miniatyrglobar med projektioner höjs och sänks över parketten, scenen försätts i nya färger för var låt. Chris Martin behärskar hela spektrat – i upptempolåtarna springer han med armarna utsträckta som ett flygplan längs med scenkanten i balladerna krymper han Globen tills han har alla tusentals åskådare in på bara huden. Det visar han inte minst när han går från att sitta ensam med pianot mitt i publikhavet i ”The hardest part” till att plötsligt explodera i fotbollslåten ”Viva la vida”. När ett tjockt självlysande konfettiregn aldrig vill sluta ösa ner vänder det sig i magen på mig. Jag mår illa. Så jävla bra är det.

 

http://stockholm.city.se/noje/2008/09/18/Helt_stortjavla_bra__Coldplay/

 

Which star takes its band and submits scene, treads out through the audience sea, climbs up all stairs and sets himself and plays in the middle of the audience longest batch in Globen? Asks a girl that not plåta his abdomen, that he thinks is little thick? Hyllar Robyn and Kleerup with lodging” With every heartbeat” at the end of one of your biggest hit's? No star except Chris's Martin does it.

 

But I'm sorry. Now, I began somewhere at the end of Coldplays concert on Globen. Already in the other tune has kvartetten the fulfilled arena with red shone, vase said LASER trawls and one” Clocks” that ends out in one bejublat STOCK-HOOOLM. Chris's Martin bounces easily over the scene on your rubber legs and continues with” in my place”. Late continues Coldplay to skruva up the level for each minute until everything is yellow.

 

It is entirely disturbed.

 

New colours for each tune

 

each tune is equally worked through visual as musical. Sex miniatyrglobar with projektioner is increased and is lowered over the stall, the scene is moved in new colours for was tune. Chris's Martin imbues the entire spectrum - in upptempolåtarna runs he with the arms utsträckta as an aeroplane along with the scene edge in the ballads limits he Globen until he has all thousand's spectators in on only the skin. It shows he especially when he goes from sitting single-handed with the piano in the middle of the audience sea in” The hardest party” to to suddenly to explode in football let” Viva la wide”. When one thick alone shining spirit confetti rain never wants to finished island said down turns it himself in the MAG on myself. I feel poorly. So damn good is it.
