[Miha]

I'm going and a lot of my friends are, too. I can't wait though I've got a seat on Osttribune (row 8) so I just hope we'll get a decent view! Mabye B-stage will be closer than A-stage to us...ah well, maybe they'll debut 'Glass Of Water' in Vienna? How cool would that be!

YEAH! That would be great!!! I hope it soo much!!!

[Miha]

Hey, where's the B-stage in Stadthalle? Is it already known?

[Nutty loves Coldplay]

it has to be on right side for us, i think...and i hope, because i have tickets on "nord" side... only 23 and half hour!!!!!!!!!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!:D:lol::lol::lol::lol ::lol::lol::lol::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3::laugh3:

[Miha]

Hmm, I'm at the Ost (East) tribune, hope it's ok, the whole standing crowd is between me and the stage, wondering where's the b-stage then?:confused:

[busybeeburns]

I’m a little blurry-eyed, sitting here inside the depths of the Stadhalle, Wien (Vienna). Maybe due to the combination of dim underground walls, and the bright glow of a laptop screen. Outside, the lunch time catering is in full flow. Everyone refuelling after load-in, getting ready for the bands’ imminent arrival. We made it to Austria in great time. Apparently arriving at 5am.. I didn’t surface on arrtival..

I awoke to the sound of heavy rain drops on the roof of the bus. I sleep in a top bunk, so it felt particularly cosy, being so close to the outside, but wrapped in a duvet. Steffan, our bus driver, decided to wash the bus this morning. Apparently he was being blamed for the rain. “Whenever you wash your bus.. it rains. I think we should try washing the buses in the desert, and see if it gets a bit more temperate!”

We are on the last show of a set of 3, in 3 different countries. It makes the tour feel even more like it’s flashing by before my eyes. So much to see, and literally, so little time. I am looking forward to the pause in Munich for over 24 hours!

Oxfam is working with some volunteers from the ‘Clean Clothes Campaign’ today. I think we will try to go for the sign-up record. I feel like it’s going to be a good day.. despite the rain.

Auch ein Weichei kann für Stimmung sorgen

Coldplay bot in der Stadthalle eine starke Show


Wien - Die britische Band Coldplay zählt zu den letzten Zugpferden des angeschlagenen Musikverlags EMI (http://www.emigroup.com/). Außerdem besitzt die Formation den wenig schmeichelhaften, Ruf, die "uncoolste Band des Planeten" zu sein. Begründet liegt dies in den nicht selten übersensiblen Texten des Sängers und Gitarristen Chris Martin, Ehemann von Hollywood-Star Gwyneth Kate Paltrow. Martin steht auch wegen seinem sozialen Engagements bei NichtFans unter schwerstem Weichei-Verdacht.

Das ist den Fans der Band logischerweise egal und live ziehen die verregneten Londoner auch meistens viel Publikum an. So auch in der gut gefüllten Wiener Stadthalle, in der sie am Mittwochabend gastierten und für Begeisterung sorgten.
Coldplay präsentierte gut zwei Dutzend Songs quer durch ihr Gesamtwerk und bewarb dadurch auch den im heurigen Sommer erschienen, vierten Longplayer Viva La Vida.

Mit der ersten Nummer des Albums, "Life in Technicolor" , wurde auch das Konzert eröffnet. Danach folgten Schlag auf Schlag die großen Hits wie "Violet Hill" , "Clocks" und "In My Place" , bei denen die meisten Fans mitsingen konnten - und dies auch taten.
Die Band bot eine professionelle Pop-Show ohne Kanten, Überraschungen und Fehler. Die Bühne war bis auf ein paar Stehlampen leer. Dafür boten eine riesige Leinwand sowie die im Raum hängenden großen Kugeln ausreichend Fläche für die Projizierung von spektakulärer Visuals. (red, DER STANDARD, Printausgabe, 25.9.2008)

Well that's an article I just found. Not a lot of information... strong show, no surprises, no mistakes. :)

[*Sarah*]

i just read they played yellow acoustic and didn't play the scientist. the escapist wasn't played either oO
the rest should have been the usual set.

[viva la vida]

they didn't play the scientist? I'm wondering what did they play up there with crowd :D if they did it

[Mimixxx]

Where did you read that Sarah? :idea2: :D

[*Sarah*]

ehm, studivz.net ... that's like german facebook for students ;)

[*Sarah*]

they didn't play the scientist? I'm wondering what did they play up there with crowd :D if they did it

that person said they played yellow with the crowd.

[Mimixxx]

ehm, studivz.net ... that's like german facebook for students ;)

Okay. Thank you :nice:

[*Sarah*]

oh wait, i read it again and the guy said they played yellow twice :thinking: once acoustic in the audience and then again at the end of the show.
now that's a bit strange.

i guess we'll just have to wait for the setlist.

[viva la vida]

oh that's nice then... waiting for setlist too..

[Mimixxx]

Maybe the guy is getting confused between Yellow and The Scientist. Would be a very strange thing to do :stunned:

[Larry]

I just watched the night news on ORF1 and they had short clips of the concert and a very short interview with Jonny and Chris.

[*Sarah*]

yeah, but then again he said they didn't play the scientist. hmmm, no idea ^^

[Mimixxx]

Cool. :D Did they say anything interesting?

[Larry]

And I think the setlist was same as in Budapest and Prague
And someone in first row ask something Chris and he replied : "We will play it, but later. Not yet" or something like that. Was it about Glass of water?

This was, I have to say, the best concert I've ever gone to. For starters, Albert Hammond Jr was terrific as the supporting act, he had some very good rock songs, couldn't really hear what he was singing about but obviously it didn't matter! After then half an hour after AHJ, we heard a familiar melody!
"An der schönen blauen Donau" by Johann Strauss II, the crowd obviously went crazy! And right at the end of that song, Coldplay came to the stage. It was just totally amazing! They played really fast through LIT, Violet Hill (with a bit of alternative ending, Chris just wouldn't stop singing "if you love me, won't you let me know" - it's probably because we didn't want him to stop! As they went into 'Clocks' we saw some of the most fantastic lightshow ever, with a giant magic sphere just adding up to what was already a great performance. And then Chris came in front and said "Guten Abend, meine Freunde". The crowd went wooooow! He continued: "Wir sind sehr, how could I put this, I'm sorry, my german's shit, wir sind sehr glucklich in Wien zu sein" /(very honoured to be here)
Typical Chris, as the crowd went crazy! As they went through In My Place, Speed Of Sound, Cemeteries Of London, Chinese Sleep Chant, 42, Fix You (again at the end, Chris just wouldn't stop singing 'and I will try to fix you', he repeated that many times) and Strawberry Swing there were some brilliant effects!
As they went to the B-stage, which was really not far away from A-stage to be honest, we left the grandstand, and then sneaked through another entrance, so we were like a few meters away from Chris' piano! Phenomenal to say at least, we were jumping like maniacs by the time Viva La Vida had started. After its end, we were just doing 'whoooaaahh, whoooaah' for more than 2 mins, I'm sure of it!
Lost! was so heavy that the floor started to vibrate, and I at that point even wasn't close to the A-stage! Really amazing! The Scientist was an acoustic version, they dissapeared from the A-stage and ended in the back with the crowd on the grandstand. They sang that and "Death will never conquer" by the best 'sportsman' Will Champion and returned for Politik and Lovers in Japan - again huge confetti, I got some of those, really amazing. Death and all his friends was a marvellous version, a bit heavier than usual, and it looked as if the crowd knew each and every word of it! They said bye at the end of it, and returned for Yellow, which was heavy, rock, fantastic whatever you want to call it.
I just wanted to let you know my feelings about it and think that's about the best thing you can see today. There's no way to better Coldplay's concert. Truly great.

Donauwalzer und Video-Kugeln

Coldplay versetzten die Wiener Stadthalle mit ihrer "Viva La Vida"-Show in Euphorie.


http://kurier.at/mmedia/2008.09.25/1222336962_5.jpg

Jahrelang sind Coldplay ausschließlich mit raffiniertem Licht aufgetreten, um nicht von der Musik abzulenken. Bei ihrem Konzert Mittwochabend in der Wiener Stadthalle präsentierte sich das Quartett erstmal mit großer Show: Sechs Video-Kugeln, Laser und eine gigantische Videowand hinter der Bühne.

Doch auch umringt von diesem technischen Brimborium blieben Coldplay liebenswürdig menschlich. Das begann mit dem Intro, bei dem sie den Donauwalzer einspielten bis auf den wenigen freien Plätzen in der ausverkauften Halle Pärchen Walzer tanzten, und endete bei einem Patzer von Chris Martin beim Klavier-Solo.

Euphorisch

War die Hälfte der Show den Songs ihres jüngsten Albums "Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends" gewidmet, blieb die andere für die Klassiker. "Clocks" gleich nach Beginn, ein hinreißendes "Fix You" und "The Scientist", das Coldplay wie Straßenmusiker zwischen den Sitzreihen auf der Osttribüne spielten.

Stets im Fokus: Chris Martin. Anstatt hinterm Klavier stand er häufig mit der Gitarre vorne, sorgte mit seinem Charisma dafür, dass die Show nie die Musik überstrahlte. Nur der kitschige Konfettiregen bei "Lovers In Japan" war überflüssig. Aber der war schnell vergessen. Denn mit einer mächtigen Version ihres ersten Hits "Yellow" setzten Coldplay einen euphorisch gefeierten Schlusspunkt unter eine umjubelte Show.

Coldplay live: Mitsingen mit leuchtenden Handys

25.09.2008 | 12:25 | (DiePresse.com)
Coldplay gaben sich "volksnah" und Frontman Chris Martin wollte sich als Gegenmodell zum Pop-Ikonentum einer Madonna positionieren.


http://diepresse.com/images/uploads/e/1/f/417311/coldplay20080925122855.jpg

oldplay sorgten bei ihrem Live-Auftritt am Dienstag Abend in der ausverkauften Wiener Stadthalle mehr als 90 Minuten für Hits zum Mitsingen. Mit einem höflichen "Guten Abend, meine Freunde" eröffnete Frontmann und Gitarrist Chris Martin das Österreich-Gastspiel der britischen Pop-Band auf ihrer aktuellen "Viva La Vida"-Tour. Geboten wurde eine Show, die bei den Fans keine Wünsche offen ließ und die in der Person von Martin so viel Natürlichkeit transportierte, dass es fast schon wieder künstlich wirkte.

Das Cover der aktuellen CD, das Delacroix-Gemälde "Die Freiheit führt das Volk" mit der stilisierten französischen Julirevolution von 1830, zierte die Rückwand der Bühne und die vier Briten eröffneten ihre Show standesgemäß in Uniformen.

Kein Pop-Ikonentum

Chris Martin wurde indes nicht müde, seinen Nimbus als unangreifbarer Star zu torpedieren. Mit ausladenden Schritten ging er betont ungeschickt über die Bühne. Damit wollte er sich als Gegenmodell zum Pop-Ikonentum vom Schlage einer Madonna positionieren.
Künstlich waren hingegen sechs rotierende Riesenlampen, die als Projektionsflächen dienten und dann und wann kamen auch digitale Song-Parts vom Band, ansonsten boten Coldplay aber eine solide Rock-Show.

"Feminine Version von U2"

Sie bestätigten damit die Meinung des "Rolling Stone", dass es sich bei den Briten um die feminine Version von U2 handelt. Zum einen wies Martins Stimme tatsächlich Ähnlichkeiten mit dem Organ von Bono Vox auf - sowohl live wie auf dem Album hat er sich vom falsettartigen Gesangsstil verabschiedet - und auch musikalisch gibt es nicht wenige Berührungspunkte, ob das nun hymnische Rocksongs sind oder die Balladen.

Neue Songs wie "Violet Hill" oder "Viva La Vida" hielten sich mit alten Hits wie "Clocks" die Waage, für Wiedererkennungswert war also gesorgt und die dadurch gebotene Chance zum Mitsingen wurde vom Publikum gerne genutzt.
Zischendurch drängte sich die Band auf einer Minibühne ganz nah bei den Fans, wo Chris Martin danach solo am Klavier "The Hardest Part" als Ballade interpretierte und damit die Handys der Massen zum Leuchten brachte.
Nach nur einer Zugabe ("Yellow") war dann aber Schluss mit dem Konzert.

Coldplay in Vienna (http://fotorocker.blogspot.com/2008/09/coldplay-in-vienna.html)

So, this was a week to remember. For several reasons. But the most importaint one was two great concerts in two days. Following Madonna, i came back to Vienna to shoot Coldplay in Stadthalle. I have never been in this hall before, and it is just amazing. Huge, packed with 15.000 people. Coldplay rocked like i never imagined. Their music seems more intimate on CDs but when they play, it comes alive big time and they really go super loud.

For us, it was the normal procedure, 3 songs, again some limitations. We were only allowed to stay next to left hand stage extension. This meant no moving as there was no place to go anywhere. Time flies, especially when singer like Chris Martin jumps like crazy, runs and turns all over the place. At the very end of the third song, he and Jonny Buckland, the quitar player came right at the end of the extension. Briefly, but i couldn't go at the end of the extension to get the ideal position. Sometimes this happens and it is not a good feeling, but it also means you have to take what you have and make the most out of the position you have. I quickly decided to go down a bit and catch a silhouette of Chris Martin as he felt on his knees. Bang, and it was over and we were out. I managed to get back to enjoy the show and kept my mouth open most of the time. So cool Coldplay!

Best concert of my life.

[busybeeburns]

thanks for your comprehensive review :P

[Miha]

Heh, to be honest;) , it was so great and so loud and Coldplay were really fantastic, all the songs, doesn't matter if the setlist's the same for a long time now, are just buzzing...I can understand now how all of you feel when you go to their concert, it's absolutely thrilling because you know they will give it their all even if it's a bad day for them, but they seemed very pleased to be in Wien (Vienna) and quite relaxed. The whole arena Stadthalle isn't this big compared to the big ones in UK or in USA, but that's why the whole crowd were like one, it felt more intimate, even when they appeared at the the back, the crowd was like "whooooaahh"!
I would love to see them performing here again, because it's the closest venue to where I live, and I don't see them performing in Slovenia..hope they do another European tour in 2009, but how likely is that? Especially at the timing of the LP5..

Coldplay, Dunaj / Stadthalle, 24.9.2008

Coldplay, britanska pop-rock skupina, ki se je v zelo kratkem času povzpela v sam vrh svetovne slave in prodala že več kot 40 milijonov izvodov svojih albumov, je včeraj v okviru Viva la vida turneje nastopila v dunajskem Stadthalle.
Na plano so pokukali leta 2000 s singlom Yello, vsi njihovi naslednji albumi pa so poželi velik komercialni uspeh, prejeli pa so tudi nekaj nagrad.

Dunajski koncert so pred razprodano dvorano (cca 14.000 ljudi) pričeli z Life in Technicolor, sledila pa je kombinacija predstavitev novejšega albuma in starejših uspešnic. Bend na odru diha kot eno telo, resnično se vidi, da v svojem nastopu uživajo in dajo vse od sebe. Odrski nastop je tudi prava paša za oči, saj jih na vsakem koraku spremljajo kamere, običajno projekcijo pa popestrijo še s projekcijo znotraj belih krogel, ki visijo z zraka.
Koncert se je po slabih dveh urah končal z bisom in na tisoče in tisoče konfeti v zraku.

Priporočam obisk njihovega ponedeljkovega koncerta v Bologni, saj bend v živo zveni mnogo bolj poskočno in živo kot na studijskih posnetkih.

Setlista:
1. Life in Technicolor
2. Violet Hill
3. Clocks
4. In my place
5. Speed of sound
6. Cemeteries of London
7. Fix You
8. Strawberry swing
9. God put a smile upon your face
10.The hardest part
11.Viva la Vida
12.Lost!
13.Yes
14.42
15.The Scientist
16.Death will never conquer
17.Politik
18.Reign of love
19.Death and all his friends
20.Yellow

What does this mean? (I'm curious because I see Bologna mentioned :P)

[Miha]

Heh in translation:

I highly recommend you go to their concert in Bologna because the songs are so different live, so full of life and emotion.

[Denise]

Thank you :nice:

[Strawberry Swinger]

they DIDN'T play Chinese Sleep Chant and they DID play Reign Of Love???

Are you kidding me?

I mean, why wasn't this the situation in Budapest?!

20000 people celebrating the song like a prayer.... ohhh it was highlife
a 2 houre climax

2 days later i got attacks of feeling me high, so that i would have told the whole world, that i love everyone....

thank you "who ever" (cause i don´t believe in god *gg*) 4 this wonderful session in life!!

p.s. i cancled a leonard cohen concert which would had been on the next day, cause i couldn´t calm me down from this coldplay evening.... there was nothing better than this, no doubt about that!! :smug:

[Miha]

they DID play Chinese Sleep Chant and they DIDN'T play Reign Of Love;)
Nevertheless, a fantastic concert.

[Ladybug]

I know its annoying,but I must say I was there
Dude, it's not! I was there too, let's found a CLUB! XD

By the way, I'm somewhat surprised by the fact that they didn't play 'Reign Of Love'? I could've sworn they did, but what do I know...my memory and I are separated by a thick haze of emotions and multicoloured butterflies. Never trust your post-gig memory!

Random, but: How insanely cool are they for blasting the Donauwalzer (The Blue Danube) before coming on? People loved it.

Tiez si bola na oboch koncertoch?

[freugeor]

It was the best concert of my life. the first of coldplay for me. everything was right. from the support albert hammond jr. till the last song yellow.
and chris had so a nice kind at the concert, how he talked to the crowd.
one of the best sentences i think, was at politik. he said "20 000 austrians are watching us". that was very cool! the only one thing i dindt really like was the techno version of "gpasuyf". it wasnt really bad, but it was the first coldplay concert for me, so iwanted to hear the original version. but that is only a little critical point.
i hope so that they come to vienna soon again.
thank you for the very cool pictures here. this are beautiful memories.

Coldplay in Vienna

So, this was a week to remember. For several reasons. But the most importaint one was two great concerts in two days. Following Madonna, i came back to Vienna to shoot Coldplay in Stadthalle. I have never been in this hall before, and it is just amazing. Huge, packed with 15.000 people. Coldplay rocked like i never imagined. Their music seems more intimate on CDs but when they play, it comes alive big time and they really go super loud.

For us, it was the normal procedure, 3 songs, again some limitations. We were only allowed to stay next to left hand stage extension. This meant no moving as there was no place to go anywhere. Time flies, especially when singer like Chris Martin jumps like crazy, runs and turns all over the place. At the very end of the third song, he and Jonny Buckland, the quitar player came right at the end of the extension. Briefly, but i couldn't go at the end of the extension to get the ideal position. Sometimes this happens and it is not a good feeling, but it also means you have to take what you have and make the most out of the position you have. I quickly decided to go down a bit and catch a silhouette of Chris Martin as he felt on his knees. Bang, and it was over and we were out. I managed to get back to enjoy the show and kept my mouth open most of the time. So cool Coldplay!

Yesterday I was at the Coldplay concert in Vienna City Hall. Great Concert. Wow.

The guys did an amazing show, with almost all of their hits (except “Trouble”) and some of their new songs - a littlebit different to what I expected from them, but a change doesn’t have to be bad.

Impressive was also the show. They played with light and some neat effects (projection in huge bulbs hanging from the ceiling). Coolest thing was a rain of paper leaves with uv-light. Looked like a fairytail rain.

If you have the chance to see Coldplay live - go for it!

thank you so much for this video.... i was 10 meters beside the stage and the emotions flow through my bones... it´s bringing me close to cry, some memories in my life are connected with coldplay so this celebration of there music was like a spiritual session for me, and you have to know i´m atheist... ;)
