Chris Martin elétrico

 

Rolling Stone review (translation below)

 

Vocalista do Coldplay não parou um minuto em apresentação realizada nesta terça-feira, 2, em São Paulo

 

 

O Chris Martin dos palcos não é o Chris Martin que estamos habituados a ver por aí. O líder do Coldplay, que costuma manter a pose calada e arredia diante da imprensa, estava especialmente inspirado durante a apresentação do grupo nesta terça-feira, 2, no estádio do Morumbi, em São Paulo. Não só pelo constante sorriso durante as quase duas horas de show, mas por sua euforia em cima do palco. Em meio a músicas melancólicas, uma constante no repertório da banda, os inúmeros pulos e giros desajeitados do vocalista ajudaram a animar o público paulistano.

 

Além da empolgação de Chris Martin, outro destaque são os aparatos técnicos desta turnê. A noite contou com um intenso jogo de luzes, em perfeita sintonia com as batidas da bateria ou os acordes da guitarra. Os feixes de luz mudavam constantemente de cor, conforme a intensidade das músicas e o ápice dos refrões, e refletiam nas cinco bolas gigantes penduradas no teto do palco.

 

Mas nem a alegria do líder, nem a beleza do palco foram capazes de disfarçar o baixo som das caixas, problema que reinou durante boa parte da apresentação. A porção das 65 mil pessoas (apesar do número informado pela assessoria de imprensa do evento, a impressão, meia hora antes do início do show, é de que havia bem menos gente) que estava nas arquibancadas chegou a vaiar e gritar para que os técnicos aumentassem o volume.

 

O espetáculo

 

Contradizendo a origem britânica, o grupo atrasou 17 minutos para começar a apresentação, marcada para 21h30, depois dos shows de abertura do Vanguart e da inglesa Bat For Lashes. Ao som da valsa "O Danúbio Azul", de Johann Strauss, Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland (guitarra), Guy Berryman (baixo) e Will Champion (bateria) apareceram no meio do escuro, iluminados apenas pelos bastões de fogos que seguravam. Logo depois, emendaram a instrumental "Life in Technicolor", do álbum Viva La Vida or Death and All his Friends (2008). Buckland sofreu com um problema na guitarra, que foi consertado logo no primeiro minuto de apresentação. A falha, no entanto, mal foi percebida pelo público, eufórico para ouvir os hits da banda inglesa.

 

O grupo seguiu com as esperadas "Violet Hill", "Clocks" e "In My Place". Em seguida, os fãs que seguravam bexigas desde o início da noite estouraram os balões e tentaram puxar um fracassado "Parabéns a você" para Chris Martin, que completou 33 anos nesta terça.

 

Durante "Yellow", o painel localizado no fundo do palco, estampando uma imagem da arte de Viva la Vida, deu vez a um telão. A plateia, que cantava em uníssono o refrão de uma das músicas mais famosas do Coldplay, se apertava para tentar tocar em bolas que foram jogadas na pista. "Isso foi fantástico", disse Martin em referência à potência vocal das milhares de pessoas à sua frente, numa das várias vezes que interagiu com os brasileiros.

 

Na leva de canções melancólicas, "Fix You" foi uma das mais emocionantes. Martin, sentado ao piano, pediu para o público acompanhá-lo - no coro de "lights will guide you home", as luzes do estádio acenderam, antecedendo uma explosão de fogos de artifício vermelhos, atrás do palco, ao final da faixa.

 

Em "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face", a banda se deslocou para a ponta da passarela esquerda (são duas, que avançam do palco principal em direção ao público da apertada pista vip). Champion, que nesse momento tocava uma bateria eletrônica, jogou as baquetas para o público. Os três integrantes saíram, enquanto Martin continou ao piano. "Não tinha jeito melhor de comemorar o aniversário do que ouvir 60 mil brasileiros", afirmou o vocalista emendando "The Hardest Part".

 

Introduzida durante todo o show pelo público, que repetia incansavelmente o indefectível "oooh ooh", "Viva La Vida" quebrou completamente o clima sereno das últimas músicas. Martin se jogou no chão, aparentemente emocionado ao ouvir o estádio inteiro cantando uma de suas composições. Depois de alguns minutos deitado, ele deu risada e levantou, dando cambalhotas para trás, mostrando que não, a pilha ainda não tinha acabado.

 

Na metade do show, ao som da clássica "Singin' in the Rain", o quarteto foi para um pequeno palco, mais intimista, localizado entre a área vip e a pista comum. Gaita e meia-lua deram um toque acústico à apresentação. Lá, eles tocaram "Shiver", "Death Will Never Conquer" - na voz de Champion, enquanto Martin mostrava sua habilidade com a gaita - e "Don Quixote". Nesse momento, o baterista, aqui ao violão, finalmente puxou o tão esperado "Parabéns a você" - em português - e, em seguida, deu um abraço no vocalista.

 

O ponto alto da apresentação aconteceu em "Lovers in Japan", quando uma chuva de borboletas coloridas de papel foi arremessada por canhões espalhados em alguns pontos do estádio. No palco, era possível enxergar Martin dançando com um guarda-chuva nipônico em meio à multidão de borboletas, confeccionadas em crepom, flúor e uma espécie de papel laminado.

 

Presente para os fãs

 

Depois de "Death and All his Friends", a banda encenou ir embora, mas voltou para o bis. Antes de tocar "The Scientist", num dos mais belos momentos da noite, Martin revelou que o quarteto tinha um presente para quem assistiu ao show: um álbum especial com nove músicas ao vivo, todas do repertório da turnê de Viva La Vida. Os discos, que estampam uma borboleta colorida na capa, foram distribuídos ao final da apresentação. Quem não viu os funcionários entregando os CDs, em meio ao corre-corre da multidão, ficou sem o presente.

 

O grupo se despediu da capital paulista com "Life in Technolocor II". Martin agradeceu a recepção brasileira e finalizou: "todos amam o Brasil e agora sabemos o porquê". Enquanto o quarteto se retirava do palco, fogos de artifício marcaram o fim dessa estadia do Coldplay no Brasil.

 

Os 100 minutos de espetáculo mostraram uma banda mais potente que o tímido quarteto que se apresentou para um público inferior a 10 mil pessoas em 2007, na Via Funchal, em São Paulo. Quem achou que iria encontrar uma banda inglesa fria, se surpreendeu com a performance comandada por um vocalista que se revelou extremamente carismático e íntimo dos palcos e do público - características dignas de quem sabe fazer música pop de verdade.

Chris Martin electric

 

The Chris Martin of the stages is not the Chris Martin that we are accustomed it see thereabouts. The leader of the Coldplay, that is going to maintain the withdrawn and quiet pose faced with the press, was specially inspired during the presentation of the group in this Tuesday, 2, in the stadium of the Morumbi, in São Paulo. Not alone by the constant one smile during the barely two hours of show, but by his euphoria on top of the stage. Amid melancholy music, a constant one in the repertoire of the band, the endless number jumps and awkward turns of the vocalist helped to encourage the of São Paulo public.

Beyond the enthusiasm of Chris Martin, another highlight are the technical apparatuses of this tour. The night counted on an intense lighting effects, in perfect tuning with the slams of the battery or the chords of the guitar. The bundles of light changed constantly from color, according to intensity of the song and the apex of the refrains, and reflected in the five gigantic balls hung in the roof of the stage.

 

But neither the joy of the leader, neither the beauty of the stage were capable of disguise the short sound of the boxes, problem that reigned during good part of the presentation. The portion of the 65 thousand persons (despite of the number informed by the advisory board of press of the event, the impression, half hour before of the beginning of the show, is of that there was well less people) that was in the bleachers it arrived boos and squeak for that the technicians increased the volume.

 

The spectacle

 

Contradicting the British origin, the group delayed 17 minutes for begin the presentation, marked for 21h30, after the shows of opening of the Vanguart and of the English Bat Will Go Lashes. To the sound of the waltz "THE Danube Blue", of Johann Strauss, Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland (guitar), Guy Berryman (short) and Will Champion (battery) appeared in the environment of the dark one, lightened barely by the canes of fires that held. Shortly afterwards, they amended to instrumental "Life in Technicolor", of the Alive album Her Life or Death and All his Friends (2008). Buckland suffered with a problem in the guitar, that was repaired soon in the first minute of presentation. The fault, however, bad was perceived by the public, euphoric for hear the hits of the English band.

 

The group followed with them expected "Violet Hill", "Clocks" and "In My Place". Right away, the fans that held bladders since the beginning of the night explode the balloons and tried to haul a failed "Congratulations to you" for Chris Martin, that completed 33 years in this Tuesday.

 

During "Yellow", the panel located in the bottom of the stage, stamping an image of the art of Cheer her Life, gave time to a big screen. To plateia, that sung in unison the refrain of one of the more famous song of the Coldplay, if held tight for try to touch in balls that were played in the trail. "That was fantastic", said Martin in reference to the vocal power of the thousands of persons to his front, in one of the several times that interacted with the Brazilians.

 

In the tappet of melancholy songs, "Fix You" was one of the most exciting. Martin, sat down to the piano, asked for the public accompany-him - in the chorus of "lights will guide you home", the lights of the stadium lit, preceding a red strategem fires blast, behind the stage, to the end of the streak.

 

In "God Put to Smile Upon Your Face", the band was dislocated for the tip of the left footbridge (healthy two, that advance of the main stage in direction to the public of the tight trail vip). Champion, that in that moment touched an electronic battery, played the baquetas for the public. The three members left, while Martin continou to the piano. "Did not it have better skill of commemorate the anniversary than hear 60 thousand Brazilians", affirmed the vocalist amending "The Hardest Part".

 

It introduced during all the show by the public, that repeated tirelessly the sure-fire one "oooh ooh", "Cheer Her Life" broke completely the serene climate of the last music. Martin was played in the ground, apparently excited upon hearing the entire stadium singing one of its compositions. After some minutes puied to bed, he laughed and raised, giving somersaults for backwards, showing that not, the pile still had not finished.

 

In the half of the show, to the sound of the classical one "Singin 'in the Rain ", the quartet was for a small stage, more intimista, located between the area vip and the common trail. Harmonica and semicircle gave an acoustic touch to the presentation. There, they touched "Shiver", "Death Will Never Conquer" - in the voice of Champion, while Martin showed their ability with the harmonica - and "Don Quixote". In that moment, the drummer, here to the double bass, finally hauled the so expected "Congratulations to you" - in Portuguese - and, right away, gave an embrace in the vocalist.

 

The point highly of the presentation happened in "Lovers in Japan", when a paper colorings butterflies rain was hurled by cannons spreaded in some points of the stadium. In the stage, was possible see Martin dance with an umbrella nipônico amid the crowd of butterflies, concocted in crêpe, fluorine and a sort of paper laminated.

 

Present for the fans

 

After "Death and All his Friends", the band produced to go although, but come back for the encore. Before of it touch "The Scientist", in one of the most beautiful moments of the night, Martin revealed that the quartet had a present for who watched to the show: a special album with nine music to the alive one, all of the repertoire of the tour of Cheer Her Life. The disks, that stamp a colorful butterfly in the layer, were distributed to the end of the presentation. Who did not see the members of staff delivering the CDs, amid the mad rush of the crowd, stayed without the present.

 

The group said good-bye of the capital native of São Paulo with "Life in Technolocor II". Martin thanked the Brazilian reception and finalized: "Everybody love Brazil and now we know the reason". While the quartet withdrew of the stage, fires of strategem marked the end of that stay of the Coldplay in Brazil.

 

The 100 minutes of spectacle showed a more powerful band than the shy quartet that was presented for a lower public to 10 thousand persons in 2007, in the Road Funchal, in São Paulo. Who found that would go to find a cold English band, if astonished with the performance commanded by a vocalist that was revealed extremely charismatic and intimate of the stages and of the public - worthy characteristics whose knows do music pop truthfully.

Chris' birthday party

 

He apparently had a party. Here's the (poor) translation of the original article:

Envy.

They got the LRLRL and Rio don't ._.

[Pris]

I'm looking for Happy Birthday is there other one?

 

Awww, this is so cute! :blush:

[Mimixxx]

Happy birthday Chris!

 

Morumbi means ‘green hill’. Had it meant ‘Violet Hill’ it would have been perfection. Still, it’s a word of indigenous origin and I love the sound of it: doesn’t it make you think of a crescendo of noise? Appropriate for tonight indeed. It’s Chris’s birthday today and Will sang ‘Happy Birthday’ in Portuguese, reading out some scribbled notes on his guitar, and São Paulo’s people joined in. Feliz aniversário!

 

Our twenty Oxfam volunteers have done a marvellous job, tiredlessly handing over thousands of bookmarks to the public. Visit this website www.tictactictac.org.br and make your voice heard for the next fundamental step on the negotiations on climate change. After Copenhagen, Mexico’s COP16 is the place where the world leaders will gather to decide the planet’s future in December 2010.

 

Thanks Carlos and Mirella, and all of you, volunteers in Rio and São Paulo. You have been wonderful.

 

Now time to get ready for Colombia.

Hello you all!! Sorry for coming late, but I'm hell tired!! The last five days are among the best of my entire life for sure!! Thank you Coldplay!!!

 

Sooooo have a lot to tell you about yesterday gig! It all started the day before... I had arrived from Rio and was heading to the hotel in Sao Paulo when I received a phone call... it was a girl from EMI Brazil telling she wanted to take me to a meet ang greet with the band just before the gig! I was all :o :stunned: :dead: :bomb: :freak: :o

 

Actually they were looking for someone to go to Rio's M&G, and they've sent me an email when I was in Buenos Aires... I answered it right after BA's concert, but it was too late since they only check emails in week days. So I missed this M&G. When the EMI lady read my email on Monday she talked to her boss and he said it was ok to call me for SP's M&G :D

 

Needless to say that I couldn't sleep that night :P Sooo I didn't go to queue (would arrive veeeeeeery early in the morning to be on the pit) cause I'd have to leave to meet the boys and would lose my spot sooo it was pointless to do so.

 

I was joined by another fan who owns a Coldplay community in Orkut, two fans who have won a contest and two girls who had an aunt woking in EMI London and arranged the meeting for them. All others were from the press. Around 15 people. When we entered restricted area I immediately spotted Jackie. I've talked to her in both Buenos Aires and Rio soo she already knew me :P When she saw me she said: Are you going, seriously??? And she came to ask how I was there if I was from a radio station or what. I told her about the website and she seemed very happy for me :nice: The EMI Brazil guy was near us and she told him that I was a massive fan and he said that it was great and he was glad that I was there :dance:

 

We waited and waited and Chris rushed in front of was saying he was coming soon :P I was all awwwwwwwwww :mellow: While waiting I saw Bash and said 'hey bash' he immediatelly came to ask how I knew his name, just as it was described in the roadies thread :laugh3: Saw Vicky too!! She's so pretty :)

 

When the boys came it was much more like a 'look and greet' than a 'meet and greet' :lol: we were not allowed to have anything signed or take pictures with our own cameras. The part I particularly loved the most was when they came all together, VIVA dressed, with a smile on their faces... I was all like aaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwww :heart: :dead: :bomb: :freak: :heart: Then we stayed in line and they came, one by one, to shake our hands! It's incredible how they all can be a lot more prettier when you're face to face :o After that we all took a group photo with an official photographer... after the first attempt he kept saying to someone move, the one in red (it was Guy!! ¬¬ come on!! He didn't know his name ¬¬) After that we were supposed to leave because another group of journalists would go in, but I was able to have a small chat with Chris against security orders :lol: I asked him how was the new song called afterall 'cause he'd named it both Don Quijote and Spanish Rain and we were puzzled. He said it'd be called Spanish Rain probably, because they have another new song called Don Quijote They still don't know what to do with these 2 songs and I was all: Wow 2 songs, that's even better :D And by then everyone was already pushing me and saying it was over and so on. It was lovely to see that Chris ignored them and kept answering my question in a calm way :nice: :kiss: They give a LRLRL copy to each one of us but I missed mine because I was talking to Chrissy :rolleyes: do you think I care?? :P

 

After that we went back to the concert. As I wouldn't be able to stand on pit with my friends, I decided to stay near the ramp of love with another group of great friends :D Was able to record a lot of great material from there. Caught some ACE scenes of Chris laying down, I'm sure you're gonna love it! Caught Jonny's butt as well :sneaky: Great videos of Shiver and Spanish Rain from the screen.

 

Sao Paulo's gig had a lot of tecnical problems. The major was that the sound was too low. Jonny had lots of problems, not sure but guess he had a broken string in Violet Hill and Matt had to help him several times during the gig. Guess somebody released the butterflies in the wrong hour cause I saw some of them during Politik O.o Chris started playing DAAHF and had to stop it, Hoppy came in and told him something... and then Chris started it again.

 

Apart from that, it was a greeeeeeeeaatt show!! Had so much fun with my friends!! The balloon part was funny and Will's portugues is greaaaaaat!! It was so lovely to hear him singing Happy Bday in portuguese!! When he said 'I'm gonna need your help in this song" I was :thinking: hey, most people don't know DWNC lyrics, how can Will be asking for help?? And the big surprise came :mellow: Loveeeeed it!! And hearing Shiver is always a hhhuuuuuge pleasure!!! My favourite CP song of all time!!

 

Sorry for writing that much!!! I'll upload my videos as soon as possible to share these moments with you!! :D

[Mimixxx]

[Cris_Santos]

They played the same song in all shows, but in Argentina he said the song was called Don Quijote and in Rio that it was Spanish Rain. So I asked him what was the real name of the song and he answered Spanish Rain, probably because they have another song (yet not public) called Don Quijote :)

[Cris_Santos]

Livia has some greeeeeeeat stories from the hotel this morning as well!! When I arrived there the boys were just gone, only saw Will entering the car. I'll wait her to come and tell :nice: I'm sooo happy for her too :dance: :dance:
