This time a football match between Coldplay and a bunch of (good) Brazilians.   Maybe it was ambitious to try and play football against a team of Brazilians; we did well until they brought on their star players - the rest was a bit embarrasing.

Check out the 1998 section of Coldplay.com for a new star.   First Coldplay Rehearsal - January 1998 In my bedroom in the flat Chris and I shared in Camden, the two of us and Guy waited for Will to turn up. The dust was just settling after strippers upstairs practising their routines had sent out ceiling crashing down. We were worried, Will hadn’t played the drums much for years. He strolled in nonchalantly and played with incredible confidence and grace. We were now complete. JMB   You can disc

Entry from Prospekt:   The control room is tiny. Literally smaller than my bedroom. The live room isn’t much bigger. About the size of the rehearsal room we used to have pre-record deal.   Brian Eno sits behind his laptop towards the back of the control room. A benevolent schoolmaster with the unquestioning respect of his charges. When he speaks, we listen. Markus Dravg [sp] prowls around the room like a big cat in a zoo. A heavyweight boxer with a paintbrush. Two very different people, both equ

Check out the 2006 section of Coldplay.com for a new star.   Australia Tour 2006 We had had a nightmare tour of Australia in 2003, and so we were nervous about this one. But it heeled (sp) all the wounds – amazing audiences and places and people. The last concert, in Perth, was followed by the weirdest tea drinking experience that Jonny & I ever had. But its too long of a story …… CM   More on this here  

Check out the 1998 section of Coldplay.com for a new star.   Jonny left his pedals in Devon. So we were in Manchester without our sound.

We were jealous, but then, we always are… CM   You can discuss this star here onwards.

Check out the 2000 section of Coldplay.com for a new star.   Jools Holland - 6 May 2000 This was our first TV appearance I think. I don't believe you can ever comprehend that what you do in a small studio with a few people can be seen by so many 'viewers'. Terrifying! Gary Brooker came on after us and played 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale' and we felt totally insignificant. Great song that.
