busybeeburns Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Raleigh review: Coldplay came through with likable arena rock RALEIGH -- The easy points of comparison for Coldplay are Radiohead and U2, both of which certainly apply. But if you want to get beyond sonic similarities and consider Coldplay's broader place on the landscape, the group's current stature resembles no one so much as 1970s-era Elton John -- someone else who commands a lot more respect now than he did in his prime, writes the News & Observer. Tastemakers put Coldplay down as a denatured version of Radiohead and U2. But four albums and a decade into a recording career that's getting bigger all the time, the well-established Coldplay brand shows every sign of outlasting its detractors. The group drew a near-sellout crowd to Raleigh's Time Warner Music Pavilion at Walnut Creek Thursday night, and a run of stadium dates in Europe beckons. And what do you know, Coldplay's latest album has outsold the latest from U2 by multiples. The biggest reason for Coldplay's popularity is that the group still provides that communal classic-rock experience. And when the group connects, it's pretty great. A perfect riff is a perfect riff, and piano hooks don't get much more perfect than the one to Coldplay's "Clocks." Thursday night's show offered up a two-hour serving of highly likable arena rock, heavy on songs from last year's "Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends" (Capitol Records). As capital-S Shows go, it was state of the art. Each song had a separate and discrete visual presentation, with dazzling lights and lasers and effects that marked an impressive step up from Coldplay's last Triangle show in 2005. There were fancy visual props, such as the five large overhead globes flickering with images, offset by some downright low-tech effects. The band came onstage twirling sparklers from behind a screen, and butterfly-shaped confetti figured prominently into "Lovers in Japan." The group ventured out from the stage not once but twice to play on two separate satellite stages. And frontman Chris Martin even got the crowd in on the special-effects act by coaching everyone to do a "cell-phone wave." Martin is the group's signature personality, and he is more of a capable than an inspired performer. Yet he commanded attention, projecting an impressive balance between average-guy charm and rock-star presence. With his paramilitary jacket and "OBA/MAR/OCK" armband, he looked like a ragamuffin gendarme in charge of an urchin army. That would have been the crowd, which he coached to holler and sing along repeatedly. Highlights included a pounding "Politik," with strobe lights blinding enough to induce seizures; the opening "Life in Technicolor," and an acoustic cover of "Billie Jean" from out on one of the satellite stages, a tribute to the late Michael Jackson. The latter song was ragged but right -- always nice to see rock stars willing to let the warts show, too, especially when they're the biggest rock stars on the planet. http://www.newsobserver.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

time_doesnt_matter Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 ^ Holy cow. Nice pictures. :D Erm...I've only posted on this forum once before so here goes... Thursday was my first Coldplay concert and second rock concert I'd ever been to. I loved it. I keep replaying parts in my head to hold onto the excitement. Points that stuck out to me were when Chris and Will sang the Hardest Part, the improv intro song to Death Will Never Conquer, and Lovers in Japan. There actually was allot of drama in my section. One girl had to escorted out and another guy almost got arrested before Coldplay even started. Then, during Green Eyes, a drunk guy almost fell on top of me and I missed most of it trying to avoid him. :( All together, it was a amazingintrestingweird experience. I brought a disposable camera so I'll probably post some pictures after I get the film developed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Josh, I looked at your pictures and I'm pretty sure I saw you before the show started walking around, my gf pointed you out because of that shirt, she'd never seen it before and thought it was cool lol! I'll go ahead and upload my pictures to FB in a minute though, I've got a bunch of good ones of the stage as a whole :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jelynch2 Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 Hey, everyone! I've got some great pictures but my computer isn't working right now and I won't have access to it until at least Tuesday...maybe Wednesday. I will DEFINITELY post as soon as I can. How awful that the boys had to cancel tonight's show? I feel so bad for everyone looking forward to the show. Thank God they played ours, though!

jelynch2 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Honestly, thank you from the bottom of heart to whomever recorded and uploaded this concert. It was the best I've ever seen and my last till next tour. It was so special because of who I was with and the fact that Chris Martin looked at my sign, laughed, smiled, and then looked at me...freaking awesome. Thank you so much!!!! :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelynch2 Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 jelynch2 i shared some of your AWESOME pics with the chrissygirls. :D YAY! I'm glad you did!! I am so glad my pictures turned out okay. It was my second at the c-stage like that and this time I just took a billion pictures. When I was there in Pittsburgh, I was fascinated by them, I couldn't take a single pic. My husband was on camera-duty b/c I was freaking out so much. This time, I was able to relax a bit more and try to get some good pictures. I'm glad you like them!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
