Coldplay is a small-scale band at heart, a classic four-piece pop combo most interested in love lost and found or quiet moments of introspection.   The English band's success, however, is massively large scale, with multiplatinum records, sold-out stadium shows and even a celebrity marriage (singer Chris Martin and actress Gwyneth Paltrow).   Thursday night at Freedom Hall, Coldplay walked the tightrope with consummate skill for much of the show, rarely stumbling. It was an arena- ready show, w

There is one minute on the clock and the spotlight is on Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. As the clock steadily ticks down, the words gracefully flow from his mouth as he begins to sing “Square One,” the opening song on Coldplay’s new CD “X&Y.”   He asks the audience, “You’re in control, is there anywhere you want to go?” but the sold-out Freedom Hall crowd is already exactly where they want to be. Senior David Rojas described the experience as “pure bliss. I was completely entranced.” Of th

Remember if you can a time, just a few short years ago, when Coldplay weren't the world's biggest megastars. A time when being a fan of Coldplay was a pretty smug affair. Private knowledge that you were listening to some of the most perfect songs every written.   And to think, just like so many great things before, it all began in Manchester. "Thanks for having us back in the city where we were discovered," said lead singer Chris Martin at the start of a stunning concert at the M.E.N. Arena las

I thought that showing up at Rockefeller Plaza at 2 a.m. for Coldplay’s 7 a.m. "Today Show" concert would be early enough to get into the "first-come, first-served" show.   I was wrong.   The line already extended down an entire block. Kids near the front were camped out in sleeping bags, while those a bit further down the line, like me, simply sat on the sidewalk while cockroaches climbed out of the sewers and sent us jumping. Those in the very front told "Today" host Meredith Vieira that th

Three years ago, Coldplay frontman Chris Martin warned that his band wouldn't be "in this neck of the woods again for quite a while".   Since that tour, the English quartet have staked their claim for the title of biggest rock band in the world, selling millions of albums and playing to vast crowds nightly.   The group even affected the share price of their record company, EMI, when they missed the deadline for the release date for their third album, X&Y.   Read the full reviews for this nig

Some music critics have labelled English rock band Coldplay as "bland", but surely they did not mean the outfit that played Rod Laver Arena last night.   Chris Martin and his three band mates had the capacity crowd in the palm of their hands for the first of their three Melbourne shows.   Last night's audience saw how success has transformed a band that was unknown when it played Melbourne's Big Day Out several years ago. Martin now leaps and prowls around the stage like a showbiz veteran.   Rea
