have you thought that there might be so many questions that they don't have chance to read them all? if other fans are sending as many questions, there must be thousand of emails heading into the Oracle's inbox every day. I think the mass mailing works because then a particular question stands out

looking at the times the 17th's vids were loaded yesterday, we have another 12 hours to wait for last nights vids

from the sound of it he's practically taking pictures every second of the day, so its not all going to be audience shots is it? :P You'd have a nice variety. Various shots of Coldplay & crew whilst travelling; soundchecks; backstage; audience; trips out; Mel, Lori & Angie........

Anders Nunstedt: Coldplay är större än någonsin! Erövrare. Chris Martin, sångare i Coldplay som håller på att erövra de stora arenorna världen över. I dag spelar de på ett fullsatt Globen. Långt i från sin första spelning i Sverige, i en källarlokal på söder i Stockholm år 2000. Foto: ALL OVER PRESS Från ett anonymt källarband till ett av världens största. I dag och i morgon spelar Coldplay för två fullsatta Globen. - Vi är extremt uppeldade, säger sångaren Chris Martin. Till skillnad från majoriteten av de världsartister som uppträtt i Globen under 2000-talet har Coldplay inte sin bästa tid bakom sig. I en musikvärld där skivförsäljningen rasat pekar bandets försäljningssiffror snarare uppåt. Visserligen har senaste cd:n "bara" sålt i fem miljoner exemplar men, som Nina Nestlander på skivbolaget EMI konstaterar inför bandets Sverigebesök; "Det kommer att bli mer än det dubbla". I kväll gör Coldplay den första av två utsålda konserter i Stockholm, och det är ingen dålig resa Londonbandet gjort sedan det bildades för tio år sedan. I november 2000 spelade de i Sverige för första gången. Debuten var just släppt, men Coldplay var fortfarande relativt okända utanför London. Sahara Hotnights Maria Andersson var en av de 300 besökarna på Kägelbanan i Stockholm. - Jag var väldigt förtjust i "Parachutes"-skivan och minns det som en bra konsert, även om jag hamnade bakom en pelare (skratt). Chris Martin har inte förändrats så mycket sedan dess. Thomas Johansson, chef på svenska bokningsbolaget Live Nation: - Coldplay är en av få artister som är på väg mot de riktigt stora arenorna, som Ullevi. 27 000 biljetter är sålda i dag och i morgon och bara det är ju en Stadion-spelning. Det är oklart om Coldplays sångare Chris Martin kommer att ha med sin fru, filmstjärnan Gwyneth Paltrow, och barnen Apple och Moses till Sverige. Gwyneth har en planerad filminspelning i Spanien i höst. Så här säger Chris Martin om turnén i USA Today: - Vi gör fortfarande allt för att bevisa varför vi fick det här jobbet som rockstjärnor från första början.

Coldplay i Globen Det hör till standardrepertoaren att arenarockband har en liten avdelning mitt i konserten då de skalar ner till en mindre sättning. Kanske rent av lämnar scenen för någon mindre avsats ute i publiken. Coldplay gillar den sortens upptåg så mycket att de gör två stycken. Först traskar hela bandet längst ut på den ena av de två scentungor som skjuter ut i publikhavet, och som annars mest är till för sångaren att springa på. Där trummisen Will Champion får nöja sig med en liten syntpad-rektangel i stället för trumset. Då är det halvtid i showen, ungefär. Bara ett par låtar efter att de har återtagit sin stora scen är det dags igen. Då rusar de ner i publiken och upp på ena läktaren, där det högt upp gömmer sig en liten mikroscen. För de fyra att tränga ihop sig och spela akustiskt på. Och låta Will Champion sjunga "Death will never conquer", en otypisk sak med drag av Woody Guthrie och gospel, medan frontfiguren Chris Martin spelar munspel. Själv trodde jag nog att Coldplay skulle hålla sig för goda för sådant. Att det här var ett band som tog sig på lite för stort allvar för att publikflirta så där ohämmat. Men det verkar knappt finnas någon hejd på hur mycket de vill blinka åt och småtramsa med publiken. Därför frågar Chris Martin hur vi har det, regelbundet som efter ett schema. Han berömmer publikens sånginsatser och lägger in lätt modifierade publikfriarrader i flera låtar (den tunga, seriösa "Politik" avslutas till exempel med frasen "give me, give me Swedish girls"). Han trallar till och med en stump på Robyns och Kleerups "With every heartbeat". Däremot säger han inte ett ord om den kampanj som välgörenhetsorganisationen Oxfam driver i foajén. Detta är inte alls det språk som gruppens musik talar, men kontrasten är faktiskt av godo. Även om de snygga scenografidetaljerna betyder mer - som de kulörta jättebollarna med snurrande mönster, eller laserljusen som ritar mönster på väggen för den som tittar åt fel håll, bort från scenen. Allra mest väsentligt är dock att Coldplay just har gjort sin bästa skiva. Producerad av Brian Eno är "Viva la vida or death and all his friends" gruppens mest melodiska, mest varierade, mest helgjutna hittills. De tycks veta om det själva, för de spelar i princip hela. Och det låter genomgående så stort och fylligt på bara fyra man att man lite grann undrar vad som skulle kunna tänkas vara förpreparerat. Det gör också att konserten inte alls bara blir den långa rad av monumentala halvballader som man kunde ha fruktat. Utan en riktigt välkomponerad tillställning, där Chris Martin byter dels mellan gitarr och piano, dels mellan en kraftröst som närmar sig Bono och en ljusare, känsligare som förklarar en del av de gamla jämförelserna med Radiohead. Som arenarockare är de inte ens anmärkningsvärt popmpösa. Visst, de fyller ut en fullsatt Glob utan problem, men jag är inte alls säker på att ett Stadion eller Ullevi skulle gå lika lätt. I jämförelse med ett fullt utvuxet stadionband som U2 kan man till och med kalla dem lågmälda. Också när det mest omfattande konfettiregn faller i "Lovers in Japan" eller när en pluton smått bländande strålkastare markerar rytmkrevaderna i "Death and all his friends".

KONZERT: Walzer und Konfettiregen Coldplay mit perfekter Inszenierung live in Berlin BERLIN - Sträflich unbeachtet bei großen Konzerten ist die Auswahl der Pausenmusik. 17 000 Menschen müssen während einer Dreiviertelstunde Umbaupause (zwischen dem New Yorker Garagenrocker Albert Hammond Jr. und den britischen Emotionsbomben von Coldplay) von allzu großer Unruhe abgehalten werden. Eine gute halbe Stunde servierte die Regie der geduldigen Masse in der neuen Berliner Arena am Ostbahnhof sphärisches Unterwasser-Gepling. Als die Zwangsentspannung zu nerven begann, folgte ein Track HipHop zum Aufwachen, um dann in den Donauwalzer überzugehen. Und siehe: Tief unten begannen zwei Männer in der Masse miteinander zu walzern, und das gar nicht einmal schlecht. Nahtlos ging es dann von Johann Strauß über zu Eugène Delacroix und Chris Martin. Delacroix’ Gemälde mit der entblößten Brust der Freiheit, das einst auf dem Hundert-Franc-Schein prangte, ziert nun das Cover des aktuellen Coldplay-Albums „Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends“. In der Arena stürmt die Freiheit von der Leinwand der Hinterbühne an Chris Martin vorbei ins Publikum. Die 17 000 werden sofort und verlässlich mit Hits bedient: Martin und seine Kollegen servieren hintereinander „Life In Technicolor“, „Violet Hill“, „Clocks“ und „God Put A Smile Upon My Face“. Gemischte Mitsing-Hits, die ihre Wirkung nicht verfehlen. Auf einer Treppe im Unterrang stehen Vater und Sohn, beide klatschen heftig im Takt und suchen den anderen dabei zu übertreffen. Chris Martin rast über die Bühne und die Rampen, als wolle er Mick Jagger den Hyperaktivitäts-Weltmeistertitel wegnehmen. Er kann aber auch mal für einen halben Song runterschalten und mit Piano am Bühnenrand in der Riesenhalle Club-Atmosphäre schaffen. Für zwei Songs, darunter „The Scientist“ ziehen sich die vier Musiker dann gar auf die andere Hallenseite zurück und spielen mit Mundharmonika und Schellen akustisch. Die Halle tobt, dann rast die Band zurück und lässt es mit „Politik“ wieder krachen. Alles eingeübt, alles routiniert – alles perfekt. Am Ende, bei „Lovers In Japan“ regnet farbiges Konfetti wie Kirschblüten von der Decke. Volle Romantikdosis. Seufz. (jps) http://www.maerkischeallgemeine.de/cms/beitrag/11309968/63369/Coldplay_mit_perfekter_Inszenierung_live_in_Berlin_Walzer.html [translation by Word 2003] CONCERT: Tome and Konfettiregen Coldplay with perfect production live in Berlin BERLIN - culpable unconsidered with large concerts is the selection of the tracing music. 17,000 humans must during one three-quarter hour of change break (between the New Yorker Garagenrocker Albert Hammond Jr. and the British emotion bombs from Coldplay) from all too large unrest to be held. A good half hour served the direction of the patient mass into the new citizens of Berlin arena underwater Gepling spherical at the east station. When the obligation relaxation began to nerves, a TRACK HipHop followed for waking up, in order to then change over into the Danube tome. And see: Right at the bottom two men in the mass began that with one another to tomes, and once not at all badly. Smoothly it went then from Johann bunch over to Eugène Delacroix and Chris Martin. Delacroix' painting with the exposed chest of the liberty, which prangte once on the hundred-franc light, ziert now the Cover of the current Coldplay album „Viva La Vida Or Death and universe His Friends “. In the arena the liberty of the canvas of the Hinterbühne at Chris Martin storms past in the public. The 17,000 is served immediately and reliably with hits: Martin and its colleagues serve one behind the other „would run in Technicolor “, „Violet Hill “, „Clocks “and „God PUT A Smile Upon My Face “. Mixed Mitsing hits, which do not miss their effect. On stairs in the Unterrang father and son, both stand applaud violently in the clock and seek the other one at it to exceed. Chris Martin races over the stage and the ramps, as if he wants to take the hyperactivity world champion title from Mick Jagger away. It can in addition, times for a half Song down-switched and with Piano at the edge of stage in giant-resounds club atmosphere to create. For two Songs, among them „The Scientist “withdraw themselves the four musicians then to the other resounding side and play with harmonica and clips acoustically. Those resounds raves, then those races to volume back and lets it with „politics “again crack. Everything learned, everything experienced - everything perfectly. At the end, with „Lovers in Japan “colored Konfetti rains such as Kirschblüten of the cover. Full romance dose. Sigh. (jps)

Coldplay Hamburg Hier hatte ich es ja schon angekündigt. Dieses Jahr verpasse ich Coldplay nicht. Coldplay zieht inzwischen immer mehr Leute an. Die Color Line Arena war wohl ausverkauft, auch wenn vor der Halle noch etliche Karten zu bekommen waren. Während wir noch in Ruhe unser Bier im Foyer tranken, begann viertel vor Acht schon die Vorband, deren Namen ich nicht mitbekommen habe .Albert Hammond jr. Die spielten fast im Stil von Coldplay, passte. Leider war der Sound sehr schlecht aber laut. Ich habe ja fast die Vermutung, dass wird absichtlich so gemacht, damit es einen Kontrast zum dann hoffentlich besseren Sound des Hauptacts gibt. Egal, nach einer längeren Umbaupause in der mindestens zwei Leute über die ganze Zeit damit beschäftigt waren, mit einen großem Besen über die Bühne zu fegen ging es dann endlich los mit Coldplay. Beim ersten Stück habe ich noch gedacht „Na, die sind wohl eher eine Studioband…“. Diese Meinung verflüchtigte sich dann aber zunehmend. Die Jungs, die für mich ja eher unauffällig agieren – auf der Straße würde ich die nicht erkennen – legten richtig los. Es machte Spaß. Der Sound war ok, vor allen war richtig Druck da. Lieder der neuen Platte „Viva laVida“ hatten Vorrang, aber auch die bekannten Stücke der anderen drei Alben (soweit ich das überblicke). Die Stimmung in der Halle war gut. Es gab kaum jemand, den es ab dem zweiten Song noch im Sitz hielt. Gänsehaut bei Stimmungsumbrüchen von Ballade zum Dampfhammer. Dazu gab es eine nicht zu überladende Lichtshow. Als Besonderheit hingen in variabler Höhe 5 große Globen die auch zu Videoprojektion genutzt wurden. Sehr elegant fand ich die wellenförmige und zeitweise auch wellenförmig schwingende Konstruktion mit Reihen von Movings-Heads. Effektvoll auch der Papierregen mit UV-Licht Unterstützung. Ein paar Stücke wurden überraschend mit der ganzen Band in der Zuschauertribüne gesungen (…irgendwo hab ich das schon mal gesehen ) Insgesamt ein toller Abend und die Musik von Coldplay, die bei mir in Dauerrotation läuft, hat nun ein Gesicht für mich. Die Fotos sind diesmal nur mit der IXUS gemacht. Schönere Bilder gibt es auf der Coldplay-Seite. Unter anderem blogt dort Roadie #42. Auf dem Hamburger Konzert hat auch wieder Marco Maas fotografiert und der ist gewöhnlich ja näher dran. http://supersonic-blog.de/archives/151 Coldplay Hamburg I had already announced it here to Coldplay Hamburg. This year do not miss I Coldplay. Coldplay attracts in the meantime ever more people. The Color LINE arena was probably sells off, even if before resounded still some maps to be gotten were. While we drank our beer in the entrance hall still in peace, quarter before eight already began the Vorband, whose name I had not received. Albert Hammond jr. Those played nearly in the style of Coldplay, fit. Unfortunately the sound was very badly however loud. I have nearly the assumption that intentionally in such a way made, so that there is a contrast for then hopefully the better sound of the Hauptacts. No matter, after a longer change break in that at least two people over the whole time were busy with large broom over the stage to sweep went it then finally loosely with Coldplay. With the first piece I have still meant „well, those am probably rather a Studioband… “. This opinion evaporated then however increasingly. Young, those for me rather inconspicuously act - on the road I would not recognize those - put correctly loosely. It made fun. The sound was ok, before all was correctly pressure there. Songs of the new plate „Viva laVida “had priority, in addition, the well-known pieces of the other three albums (so far I grasp). The tendency in resounds was good. There was hardly someone, which it held starting from the second Song still in the seat. Goose skin with tendency pagings from Ballade to the steam hammer. In addition there was not a Lichtshow which can be overloaded. As characteristic 5 large globes hung also to video projection were used in variable height. I found the wavy and occasionally also wavy swinging construction with rows of Movings Heads very elegant. Impressively also the paper rain with UV light support. A few pieces with the whole volume in the spectator's stand were sung surprising (… somewhere have I that already times seen) Altogether a mad evening and the music of Coldplay, which runs with me in continuous rotation, have now a face for me. The photos are made this time only with the IXUS. There are more beautiful pictures on the Coldplay side. Among other things there Roadie #42 blogt. On that Hamburg concerts also again Marco Maas photographed and that is usually closer to.

Coldplay erobert Hamburg Die britischen Superstars Coldplay Sonntag in der Color Line Arena: Was für ein unfassbar gutes Konzert! Die Band hervorragend wie nie. Der Sänger Chris Martin ein Bühnentiger in Hochform. Die Show mit das Beste, was es je in dieser Halle zu sehen gab. Das Publikum am Jubeln und Toben. Was für ein Abend! Es sind die heißesten Tickets des Konzertherbstes. Seit Monaten ist ihre Show ausverkauft. 13 000 Fans drängen sich, um Chris Martin (ja genau, der Typ von Hollywood-Beauty Gwyneth Paltrow) zu sehen. Chris Martin Eifersüchtig auf den Ex seiner Gwyneth Kurz vor neun geht es los. Die Band erst schemenhaft hinter einem Vorhang, dann auf ihrer Superbühne: zwei Laufstege ins Publikum. Sechs Riesen-Ballone an der Hallendecke, die sich als Monitore entpuppen. Im Hintergrund eine Leinwand mit dem Revolutionsbild (hat Eugène Delacroix gemalt) ihres neuen Albums „Viva la Vida“ . Coldplay spielen von Anfang an ihre Mitsing-Hymnen: „Clocks“, „In My Place“, „Speed Of Sound“. Kaum jemand sitzt noch auf den Rängen. Das neue „Viva la Vida“ mit seinem „Oho-ho-ho-hooooh-ho!“ kommt aus tausenden Kehlen. Martin wälzt sich dazu auf der Bühne. Die Band: Mal hier, mal dort, aber immer ganz nah dran an den jubelnden Fans. Sie wechseln auf eine kleine Bühne mitten im Publikum. Spielen „Talk“, Martin singt dort alleine am Piano „The Hardest Part“. Dann springen alle vier von der Bühne, rennen bis ans Ende der Halle, dort die Tribünentreppe hoch. Stehen jetzt auf dem Umlauf zwischen Unter- und Oberrang. Die Zuschauer im Block „U3“ (eigentlich ganz weit hinten) können es nicht fassen. Sie haben jetzt ihre Stars Chris, Jonny, Will und Guy direkt vor sich. Hier gibt‘s das ruhige „The Scientist“. Zurück auf ihrer Hauptbühne: Chris Martin (mit Kurzhaarschnitt, die Lockenmähne ist ab), der sich vor einigen Jahren noch schüchtern hinter seinem Klavier verkroch, gibt die grinsende Rampensau. Rennt und hüpft und krabbelt und springt hin und her. Letzte Zugabe nach gut eineinhalb Stunden: Der Klassiker „Yellow“. Tausende von Papier-Schmetterlingen regnen von der Hallendecke. Dann sind die Jungs weg. „Oho-ho-ho-hooooh-ho!“ singen die 13 000 Fans noch, als bereits Rowdys am Abbauen sind. Mehr geht nicht. http://www.bild.de/BILD/hamburg/leute/2008/09/15/kultur-coldplay-konzert/in-der-hamburger-color-line-arena.html#7 [Translation by Word 2003] Coldplay conquers Hamburg. British superstar the Coldplay Sunday in the Color LINE arena: Which for an incomprehensibly good concert! The volume outstanding like never. The singer Chris Martin a stage tiger in high form. The show with the best, which resounds it ever in this to see gave. The public at being jubilant and raving. Which for one evening! There is the hottest tickets of the concert autumn. Since months is their show sells off. 13,000 fans urge itself, in order to see Chris Martin (exact, the type of Hollywood Beauty Gwyneth Paltrow). Chris Martin jealous on the ex of its Gwyneth short before nine goes it loosely. The volume only schemenhaft behind a curtain, then on their superstage: two gangways in the public. Six giant balloons at the resounding corner, which as monitors emerge. In the background a canvas with the revolution picture (Eugène Delacroix has painted) of their new album „Viva la Vida “. Coldplay play from the outset their Mitsing hymns: „Clocks “, „in My Place “, „speed OF sound “. Hardly someone still sits on ranks. The new „Viva la Vida “with its „Oho ho ho hooooh ho! “comes from thousands throats. Martin rolls in addition on the stage. The volume: Times here, times there, but always completely near to at the jubilant fans. They change on a small stage in the middle in the public. To plays „talc “, Martin sings there alone at the Piano „The Hardest part “. Then all four of the stage jump, run to to the end resound, there the grandstand stairs highly. Stand now on the circulation between under and upper rank. The spectators in the block „U3 “(actually completely right at the back) cannot seize it. They have now its star Chris, Jonny, want and Guy directly before itself. Here `s gives the calm „The Scientist “. Back on their main stage: Chris Martin (with short crop, the Lockenmähne is off), which still shyly behind its piano verkroch itself some years ago, gives the grinsende ramp sow. Runs and hops and crawls and jumps back and forth. Last addition after well one and a half hours: The classical author „Yellow “. Thousands of paper butterflies rain from the resounding corner. Then are those young away. „Oho ho ho hooooh ho! “the 13,000 fans sing still, when already Rowdys at diminishing are. More does not go.
