Living la Vida Coldplay on why it’s hard being at the top Wednesday, March 25, 2009 Singapore will always hold special meaning for Coldplay, said their drummer, Will Champion. They’ve performed here three times and Champion said the band have always had “good memories of Singapore”. That’s probably why they put on a supercharged show on Monday night at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. They gave an “impossibly charming” performance that was, according to Today’s Genevieve Loh, “worth every single superlative and every single cent”. Read her gushing review exclusively online at http://www.todayonline.com. “I remember the very first (performance in Singapore) with Travis,” said Champion just before the show. “Because, coincidentally, a guy who turned out to be one of my very best friends lived in Singapore at the time, and came to watch us. “The second one was when my daughter was three or four months old and she came out with us. That was her first concert tour!” We remember Chris Martin shouting at someone with a lighter at the first show. I’m sure it was only a joke! But these days you can’t smoke anywhere anymore, so people use their mobile phones instead of lighters. Have there been any Spinal Tap moments? We did an in-store performance in Los Angeles early in our careers, and were told to go on. We walked onstage and people started clapping, and then we realised none of our instruments had arrived because of a traffic jam. So we had to go back off, wait until the instruments arrived, plug them in, then come back on again. That was embarrassing! Do you get tired of playing Yellow? Yellow is very special because it was like a passport — it allowed us to go to Australia, America and Singapore. We never thought we’d go to any of these places, we just thought we’d be a band in England. For some people, it’s the only reason they come to the concert. So for that reason alone, it’s a lot of fun for us to play. What’s your plan to be a better band? We want to do something that no one’s done before but it’s getting harder, because so many musicians have done so many great things ... We’ve got to think long and hard about it. So we’ll see. What will happen when the music’s over? I don’t think the music will ever be over. It’s difficult to imagine doing anything else. Sometimes I think about it, but then I worry because I don’t know how to do anything else. Hopefully, music will always be a massive part of my life. This is the best possible job in the world. http://www.todayonline.com/articles/309347.asp

I know it's a little late for me to post this review, but I only stumbled upon it today... A concert worth every superlative Wednesday, March 25, 2009 My editor groaned when he found out that I was going to be the one reviewing Monday night’s Coldplay concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Something about me listening to Viva la Vida on loop 154 times and how it’ll result in an extremely biased concert review dripping with blind Chris Martin love and gushing superfluous adjectives proclaiming the band’s ascending rock-god status, undeniable stage presence and lyrical perfection. He was right. But now I have more than 10,000 other witnesses who, judging from their contented faces after a value-for-money two-hour show, will be more than willing to back up my gush. Forget all the mudslinging criticism about their radio-friendly whine rock, blatant U2 and Radiohead ripoffs, Hollywood wives and naming of children after fruit. None of it matters once Coldplay takes to the stage. For their third outing in Singapore, the band pulled out all the Big Rock Band trappings – massive video screens, a rainbow of lasers, giant orbs displaying dizzying images, bursts of neon confetti and two runways allowing the band to get up close and personal with their fans. But the Brit quartet still managed to tirelessly deliver their old and new hits – Clocks, In My Place, Yellow, Fix You, The Scientist – in an unexpectedly intimate manner. Much of that credit belongs to the impossibly charming frontman Martin, whose deft piano skills and drunken schoolboy trance-like dancing proved strangely riveting as he seamlessly moved from guitar to piano to vocals and back. The crowd-pleaser did and said all the right things, much to the joy of the sold out crowd who lapped up lines like “ Singapore ... You guys are right now ranking amongst one of the very top audiences we’ve ever played for” and “You guys know how grateful we are to get to play for 10,000 people right here in Singapore. Thank you so much for coming out on a Monday night”. Couple that with incorporating “Singapore” into their song lyrics several times and performing a cute version of The Monkees I’m a Believer right amongst the shocked audience members at the far-up cheaper seats, and you got a stadium full of frenzied fans eating out of their hands. There is a brief creeping sensation that these seemingly spontaneous tricks were nothing but just neatly executed, manipulative crowd pleasers. But Martin’s self deprecating humour, unrelentless energy and vocal prowess, along with the rest of the boys’ (bassist Guy Berryman, guitarist Jonny Buckland and drummer Will Champion) earnestness easily washed away any doubt of their genuineness. Coldplay gave a performance that was worth every single superlative – and every single cent. http://www.todayonline.com/articles/309464.asp Awwww :heart:
