Media Reviews
The atmosphere is always good when you are in Coldplay's company. A concert with likeable Chris Martin & Co. is more enjoyable than impressive. The exclusive and intimate concert with one of the world's biggest bands on a small stage was very nice. The original concert should have taken place in the theatre Folketeatret at the beginning of November, but was cancelled due to illness.
The band was in a very good form and in high spirit and played for 70 minutes before an enthusiastic audience. Coldplay played songs from their entire career. The Brits have an impressive back catalogue - their hits invite to sing-along and involvement. Early in the concert 2 of Coldplay's biggest hits - Yellow + In My Place - were played. The atmosphere was very good. 2 moderators from Norwegian TV2 introduced the band. The concert was filmed and will be shown / televised in all of the Nordic countries at Christmas. Chris Martin is very nice and down-to-earth. His communication with the audience was very direct and easy with a twinkle. Coldplay's latest album is good workmanship, but it is not Coldplay's best album, but good enough for Coldplay to keep their well-deserved star status. Coldplay must accept that they are considered U2 light. Apparently Coldplay are not trying to distance themselves from being a soft variant of U2. The band build up their songs with epic key figures: Their guitar figures and sound are very much like the Edge's.
Coldplay is a band mastering minor stages better than the really big ones - or so it seems. Consequently, the concert at the Central Stage was a little scoop for us who were there. The atmosphere at the Central Stage was very good, and the audience sang along. The band played i.a. Viva la Vida, Paradise and Violet Hill - as well as extras like Fix You and Every Teardrop is a Waterfall. It was as we could hope for: A charming frontman and a band in top form who made sure that the audience had a solid and good experience.
