Coldplay in Rio de Janeiro

 

On Sunday evening we saw Coldplay on apotheosis Stadium, Sambódromo, in Rio. It is the same place as the Carnaval samba parade contest was held, but only a part of it. 30 000 tickets were sold, but it was not completely sold out. Despite this, it was what I could see the full gallery on Pade and floor. Only VIP seats at the front appeared to have room left. The tickets cost 2000 USD, however, so it might not be something everyone wants to pay.

 

It POUR. Genuine concert weather. We purchased the opposite rain cape and it felt like we were on the Festival.

 

The dressing was called Bat For Lashes, and comes from the United Kingdom. They played just over 40 minutes, and got me settled at once. According to me sounds a bit like the Björk, Sigur Rós, and Florence and the Machine, the same experimentuella sound. Lucas said afterwards that "you should come home and google it and download all their songs, I feel everything a little bit" which I obviously would. Good band tips for those who like the other mentioned bands.

 

Coldplay had said that they would go on at 20.00, and was faschionabelt late, ie 20.30. Life in Technicolor began to flow out of the speakers and the four boys came out on stage. Since no one was standing still at just over 90 minutes. Since the tour began with Viva la Vida last year, and still goes in the album's characters, played many songs from that album. But it is always. While favorites such as Yellow, The Scientist (acoustic and with a stream of tears), Politics, Warning Sign, and others came during the evening. During one of the songs butterflies flew out of the smoke machine limits, or the butterfly machine, and the whole sky was full of colorful butterflies for a while. I had heard about this before. Both I and Isabela, Lucas friend, screamed with delight and agreed that this was the prettiest we've seen in a long time. I found then a butterfly on the ground on the way home that I saved.

Coldplay does show in Rio in the rain

 

British band Coldplay sang last night for thousands of people in the Apotheosis Square in Rio, in his first concert tour in Brazil "Viva la Vida". It rained throughout the show.

The costumes and carnival floats were replaced by the typical decoration of the tour for Coldplay: huge globes suspended in the air and illuminated with inscriptions of "Viva la Vida" and references to Table of Delacroix that graces the cover of the album.

The Brazilian public has had defied the rain during the opening act for the British band Bat for Lashes. The Coldplay concert lasted about two hours.

The band started the show half an hour later than planned, to wait for the rain to diminish a little and took the stage to the sound of "The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss, before starting with the first song of the night, "Life in Technicolor. "

In his repertoire, songs from the last album like "Viva la Vida" "Lost" and "Death and All of His Friends', issues with which won the Grammy for best album in 2009.

The British foursome led by Chris Martin, who has not played in Rio since 2003, also played some of his most memorable themes as "The Scientist", "Fix You", "Clocks" and "Yellow".

Martin described the environment of the Apotheosis as "incredible" and put a flag of Brazil on his microphone.

During the show many surprises and special effects illustrate the show. First, giant globes of yellow flooded the track while the band played "Yellow" to continue with fireworks in "Fix You".

After a brief recess, the band disappeared from the stage and moved to a small platform in the middle of the audience he played several songs on acoustic, including a new song, "Spanish Rain".

Thousands of paper butterflies of all colors covered the spectators in front of the stage during "Lovers in Japan", while a new battery of fireworks used to finally put an end to the show, which ended as it began with "Life in Technicolor.

The show in Rio de Janeiro is the second of seven that the group held in Latin America and will serve to end the tour.

After playing in Buenos Aires on Friday and yesterday in Rio, the band will go to Sao Paulo next Tuesday, Bogota, Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey (Mexico).

I went to Coldplay's gig last night, i live in Rio de Janeiro and here rarely rains and it's never cold, well last night wasn't a typical Rio de janeiro's evening, it rainned alot, and it was cold and windy.... how can i describe it...humm... like an english summer weather!

i felt like i was in glasto, minus the mud and all the amazing bands playing, tonight it was Coldplay's night.

Don't get me wrong i'm not complaining, i miss the english weather ( yes i know i'm crazy) so it felt alittle bit like home to me.

The concert it self was amazing, i had forgoten how much i love coldplay.

Chris Martin's voice, energy, musician skills and lyrics are just too good to be true, actually all the band were sounding like perfection.

Moments i know i'm never going to forget, i don't know if it's just with me, but when i go to a concert i'm 100% there, i want to absorb every emotion, every word, every note, and it moves me so much even to tears like last night (i know really embarrassing) but what can i say, i really love music!

I read somewhere that people that wacthed them in Argentina were flying to Rio to see them again.

i thought it was abit silly to fly all that and i also thought that they maybe too rich to see how much money they are spending .....but still.... after wacthing their gig.... i got to confess...i would do the exact same thing.

[Macintosh]

I still can't believe that they played SHIVER!!! I wonder how they have overpersuaded Guy to play it :o

[Denise]

Okay, so when was the last time it was played live that wasn't in Brazil. :dozey:

:bigcry:

 

Ok I meant to answer this question the other day and then I forgot :P

Last time they played it in a country other than Brazil was at London's Earls Court in December 2005, it has only been played in three cities on the Twisted Logic Tour: Milan, London and Sao Paulo (x3, so 6 times in total), then you need to go back to the AROBTTH tour.

 

Let's hope they won't stop playing it after the LA tour is over :smiley:
