Coldplay let themselves feel

- In Prague O2 Arena last night played one of the most popular British bands

- Came to listen to it patnáctitisícový crowd

As if “slušňáci” Coldplay in today’s pop music or not. Their tour of the new album ‘Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends’ perhaps because yesterday fulfilled Prague O2 Arena to the brim. Critics, vyčítající British Coldplay colourlessness and pathos, sometimes amuse tartness, but not take so well “at the heart of” a high voice jednatřicetiletého Chris Martin in hymn like songs about human relationships, doubt, anxiety and faith.

“We’re finally here,” Martin spoke Czech at the beginning of the concert, had a light on the audience and wished them good fun. People are a little later to Coldplay almost touch - musicians with a guitar and mandolin vběhli to the audience. Closer contact with people furiously photographed the band also due to stage equipped with two side-stage.

None of around fifteen thousand mostly teenage visitors to yesterday’s concert you will not believe that worried about polar bears and global warming should do only state governments, while rock musicians are from the “shag females, take drugs, wear sunglasses and look cool” as recently made Noel Gallagher from another British band Oasis.

On the sentimentality and a lack of rock ‘n’ roll pose are grateful attributes as Coldplay songs as well as their current tour. Its visual appearance and concert repertoire based on the latest, fourth ordinary album. Attend the concert last night in Prague, therefore, expected sparingly populated stage - six balls, serving heads of the audience as projection surface, it was in compliance with environmental consideration by Coldplay promote.

The concert offered a cross-section of all four albums, focusing on this year, which came home instrumental Life in Technicolor and strong Violet Hill. Video clip of the song that first introduced Coldplay in the uniforms of war visually to dress to present concerts. Voiced the balladic track 42, in which Martin sat on the piano. Three years old album X & Y Coldplay remind zasněným single Speed Of Sound and Fix You contemplative, a large area of the track were valued, six years old plates A Rush of Blood to the Head, including hits Clocks and God Put A Smile Upon Your Head or acoustic versions of song The Scientist. In addition to Yellow was the first song, which until then little known band with the advent of the new millennium area.

One survey found that Coldplay according to the British, play music in which the well falls asleep. Of course, such awards can be interpreted to the detriment of the band - because most musicians are on the attention of listeners who sleeps. But what has the popular group with “nejpohlednějším vegetarians,” as she called Chris Martin an organization fighting for the ethical treatment of animals, create? It may enjoy a somewhat anticipated outcome of other, to change the medical questionnaire. It argues that to be up more than twenty-four hours is simply not healthy. For those who respect the way yesterday in O2 Arena, offered Coldplay líbivý experience suitable for day dreaming.

The British band arrived in the Czech Republic for the first time in the world tour, which promotes its new album Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends. In addition to new songs, the group presented its older hits.

The London quartet launched their performance with instrumental composition Life In Technicolor, followed by the song Violet Hill from the current album. The concert began with a delay of about půlhodinovým and 15 thousand spectators, meanwhile, will wait zkracovalo creation of the so-called Mexican wave.

Show took place on the giant stage in the shape of a horseshoe of dimensions 20 times 18 meters, which includes two side stage with a length of eight meters.

The band raised great turmoil, when at the end of the concert headed into the gallery, where zahrála two songs directly to the audience. They then rozzářili hall lit their mobile phones, and left the surprise hail of paper butterflies, which they withstand in the head.

Coldplay music painter turned Prague in the gallery of emotions

First-class lesson on how to deal with musical emotion, demonstrated in Prague, the British band Coldplay. The Czech Republic arrived for the first time in its history and said the bravurně.

Czech fans were on Coldplay really hot. Sold out hall oběhlo at least ten tumultuous Mexican waves than half shortly after the tenth evening dark, and the hall rozezněla classic On the beautiful blue Danube.

Podium, effectively and effectively suspended the construction of the hall so that they could sell tickets and to the sectors from which other concerts there is nothing to see halls semi-curtain.

ColdplayDo Straussových tone is heard riff Life In Technicolor, song, which opens the current album Viva La Vida, light park is slowly rozehřívá, curtain up.

For the band, the picture rozzáří Freedom leads people vévodící new packaging boards and pochodového rhythm single Violet Hill into the modern temple of entertainment, which is about to be transformed into a gallery of musical emotions, comes four British worshiped.

The image of the painter Eugène Delacroix disappear after hitovkách Clocks and In My Place, where it was clear that Coldplay have introduced after the music very varied show. In only three songs caught Chris Martin singing just the microphone and accompanied by piano and guitar, and the pace out throughout the concert.

The band is looking for a moment, Martin was to blame colds for which it annulled the talks. A sound engineer tried his indisposition to hide from the beginning of musical instruments, but how the singer gradually nořil into the atmosphere the concert, received his vocal strength. And while Fix You, one of the first concert of summits, where crowd sang with him and even applauded in rhythm, it was all right.

ColdplayTo have a huge lamp, hanging between the two design screen in the middle of the hall, was restored orphan. Its five previously duplicates zjevilo in Speed Of Sound, hit the boards of X & Y, a pair of sharp news Cemeteries Of London and the Chinese Sleep Chant, and the different atmospheric projections moved slightly punk concert in the plane.

Yes, and it may sound Coldplay live. This is not just painfully sweet sound of pianos, guitars and hazy sound of the evil singing, but also sharp riff, or even techno, as the band in God Put A Smile Upon Your Face. We will scene changes every song, a classic design, a second light bulbs, then only a singer himself, preludující for the piano ballad the hardest Part.

The main driver of the events was of course Chris Martin, moving as needed from one party to another stage with stops at the piano or kytarového stand, while guitarist Jon Buckland and Guy Berryman baskatyrista mostly peacefully take their instruments.

ColdplayRadost look at the drummer Will Champion, who with hard-hitting directness sawn into the percussion, the title song of new plates Viva La Vida then sawn into a large drum and the bells to sound in the finale of the regular concert turned into a guitarist in the case of Death Will Never Conquer even the singer.

Acoustic band odzpívala block from the audience, where přeběhla across the hall, barely finished balladic new Lost. A simple trick that you Coldplay for the first time on odzkoušeli promo concert in London’s Brixton Academy, took in Prague, and the enthusiastic crowd could literally feel the band and almost face to face with her Championovu not only sang the song, but mainly hit The Scientist.

Again it got dark, the band disappeared in the corridors for the rumble dance remix Viva La Vida. Excited audience hall have spontaneously turned into technoparty, irradiated and jiggly thousands of displays for mobile phones.

ColdplayPrásk! During the second, the mood changes and tepajícího dance boiler is pumpující heart muscle, which in the pattern of politics resentfully Tepe: “Open up your eyes! Open your eyes!” Early in Lovers In Japan fondly soothes love and prime projections that ironically at the end of vyvěsil fangli VIVA. Long live the death and its friends …

Is not yet over. Hall dupe, Dunia, tune, asks his hero. Stage potted yellow tones, and perhaps the biggest hit, ever wrote Coldplay - Yellow. Fans must be satisfied when the band once again repeated Fix You. And then, full of emotions, home, perhaps do not volatilise quickly.

Coldplay is one of the best of the current world scene offers poprocková. Fans of Chris Martin et al. Prague concert will probably take full. Who sees and listens to music in a broad scope, acknowledged the head cover, but remember to be U2. Martin not to be the initial voice ailment, which apparently caused even more irksome pause in the middle of the concert, it would be perfect.

Praha, (Prague) Czech Republic, 22/09/08.

A note from Prague.

Coldplay have just come off stage in the O2 Arena, Prague. I am sitting in the crew office, hearing the scurry of feet and the sounds of a thousand cases being loaded and wheeled off to the trucks (which still sit breathing heavily after their mammoth trip from Oslo over the weekend). Even on a day off, the tour does not stand still, as buses, trucks and crew make their way to the next city.

Prague is a beautiful city. A sight for sore (sleep deprived) eyes. Such a great place to recharge batteries, catch a breath and take stock, as the tour rolls on past the half way mark. I checked out the famous Ruduta jazz club, which was a change of scenery, but a real treat for any drummer out there..

A quick word on Oslo. Oxfam had a great time throughout Scandinavia. Almost record numbers of people signing up and getting involved. Oxfam worked with a Norwegian organisation called Changemaker in Oslo. The organisation works for similar causes as Oxfam, and their volunteers needed little encouragement to get started on campaigning. Part of the motivation might have been to challenge the great success we had in Stockholm the night before..

Tonight, the buses will roll on to Budapest, Hungary. It’s time for me to leave.

Imperfectly perfect Coldplay (22.9.08, Prague)

Včerajší Prague concert is one of the best rock kapiel present, Coldplay, is ekvivalentom energy, quality and priamočiareho návalu britskej melancholy, ktorú vedi perfectly WAY interpret them.

At the beginning I wish to note: O2 Arena in Prague was an excellent choice for the premiere welcoming this band in the Czech Republic. Total capacity, which is indeed filled almost to the last miesta, spĺňala all conditions for the unique zážitok.

Have an hour before a pol začiatkom its people nahrnuli entrance to the arena to fill caught good miesta (children who mali tickets for staţie) or so before you even put something koncertom the tooth (other children).

Exactly on the 20-hour this evening, his first ozvali tones predskokana Albert Hammond Jr. (gitaristu group The Strokes), which presented the production of so my sóloviek. Hall is quite decent prebudila a positive response to its track approximately 40 minutes. Then sa Albert H. Jr. Stratil behind the scenes and became its čakanie on the evening headliner, which sprevádzali Coldplay songs within the sate, as I know, znejúce of the speaker. Netrpezliví fanúšikovia its prejavovali hlasným vreskotom, mass tlieskaním and behold napokon Mexican wave, which niekoľkokrát obehla entire O2 arena.

At the end of nazvučovania everything was ready for the main hviezdy evening.
Chris Martin, Guya Berryman, Jonnyho Buckland and Will Champion is everyone priaznivci lived to see about trištvrte hodinovom čakaní after doznení Straussovho Waltz, which is prehupol to úvodného intra and the first album of new songs Coldplay - Life in Technicolor.
Start of the concert was more than hitový and was zjavné that the British quartet began poriadne brusquely: Violet Hill, In My Place and Clocks correctly rozohriali filling hall.
After nasledovnej Speed of sound, which is plagiátorstvom track Clocks (successful vykrádanie same-seba ’s even receive!) Launched Chris broken Czech: “Good evening, we end here.” It continued vo svojom rodnom language and our Czech bratom praised their main Town, which are really the Vraj patients.

For the band in the background is the image of Pakistani Delacroixovej Slobody vedúcej Lud, which is actually also obalom novinkového album Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends.
In similar spirit ladenom Coldplay members were also clothes and almost all evening as francúzski odette odohrali revolutionaries.

In playliste were zastúpené all tracks new album, which band zahrala unbelievable exactly and differences between recording and live koncertom were minimal. Good impression spočiatku destroy Chrisovo nahladnutie, and therefore was his spev from the beginning of self-conscious. Vrcholom was full pokazenie track Fix you, when zlyhal spev, rhythm and according to my estimate mainly odposluchy what nepokazilo mood, however, Chris Martin. He will after this Schut gaffe zahrešil (Motherfucker fell niekoľkokrát) and at the end, so smiechom skonštatoval: “First time in Prague and we fucked it out …” Next hiccup followed when klavírnej track, when instead it was úvodných words from the mouth Chrisových only dlhé “Aaaaach” … Výpadok text Opätovný rozosmial including the entire hall’s, but launched into space are povzbudzujúce tlieskanie.

Kultové songs as God Put a Smile Upon Your Face and Talk Ponale boys more “techno” and speed up the pace. Both zmixované pesničky to get new clothes. Followed by “Chrisova piano hour” in the form of the hardest Part and Postcards From Far Away, when he saddles on the edge of the stage at piano, while what the other members were in úzadí. Rozcitlivení fanúšikovia neočakávali explosion, which occurred then. To silence has been Willove vocals, rozozvučalo his cello and its hall niesla Viva La Vida, ktorú zborovo spievali everyone.

And visitors of this concert thought that the shock Largest have in a row, even knew what I čaká. After Viva La Vida is štvorica launched preč of the stage and prebehli to the opposite koniec arena, where usalašili led sediacich fanúšikov that extracted pripravený acoustic set. Drummer Will is caught gitary, Chris ustnej harmonicas and we will be able to vypočuť Death Will Never Conquer and The Scientist.

Lovers In Japan during its Japanese atmosphere preniesla also on the canvas in the background, where were premietané footage from the countryside vychádzajúceho slnka and during refrénov is on the floor fanúšikov launched a hail papierových sheets.

The above-hour concert ended its typical Death And All His Friends, not as it was, keby his band return to prídavkom. Vtedy occurred in the O2 arena in the explosion literally silence, an explosion now classic pieśni Yellow, during his Hall of which osvietila nažlto. As a last voiced after the second one in the evening with komentárom Fix you that if you do so “dofuckovali”, give her pre istotu even one, and the final track spievali naozaj everyone completely.

Coldplay proved that it is vedi play with mood, know provoke emotions and are majstrami of their trades. One thing is clear: Prague to win and you what you can or ľutovať.
