Coldplay wonder auditorium in SP and until leaves the repertoire
English group made in this monday (26) 1º of the 3 shows in the country.
In the shout, public pulls out “Shiver” to the end, in improvised version.
For a band who costuma to play always safe, was a surprise. To pull out a band it are of the programmed one and assayed it was not the luxury that the Coldplay if gave and the prize that the public in São Paulo gained a show after where repertoire, musicians and the mood of main astro, Chris Martin, had functioned to the perfection. The presentation in the Way Funchal was the first one of the three that the only ones in Brazil occur until this Wednesday (28) of quarteto English in the São Paulo capital -. The such “intimista climate”, mote of turnê, and the test of new musics of the group really had been forgotten, but the public little seemed to import itself with this.
Thus that the show started, with “Square one”, the auditorium was not held in the chairs, and the places demarcated and vendidos the salty prices (arriving R$ 400) already did not mean more nothing. Better for the tunning between fans and the group.
Although the others three integrant ones if kept discrete as always, Chris Martin demonstrated to be empolgado. The singer agitated of a side for the other e, exactly when he had a music to touch to the piano, he risked a movement next to the public.
Dress almost all of black color, with shirt torn in area of armpits (God does not allow that this turns fashion), the known face more of the Coldplay also pontuou the presentation with phrases in Portuguese. “Ôrra, that rain! That p… rain “, the singer said, who will have to take some points of overflow in SP as trip memory.
The fluía group without difficulties for the show, delivering its main hits and accurately what the auditorium waited. “Yellow”, “Trouble”, “Clocks”, “The scientist”, “In your place”, “Speed of the sound” had appeared without great alterations of arrangement in relation to studio records.
This is the beach of the Coldplay, not to offer scares to its listeners nor to bother them with brusque variations. Some would say that little rock ‘ n roll is a position, but are what Chris Martin knows to make - and it makes well, and the public adores.
But nothing as to break the protocol of time in when. Until little before the end of the presentation, the moments extra-palco marcantes - and programmed - had been the giant balls with coil and confete inside, that Chris Martin detonated with its guitar, beyond an interpretation in the way of the auditorium of “‘ Till Kingdom Come” only to the violão and the execution of baladinha “Sparks” for the fans most devoted.
With the waited closing to the sound of “Fix it you”, the public started to request in the shout “Shiver”, hit of the estréia of the Coldplay. Chris Martin said that it did not touch the band had much time, but that “it had never seen as much people to cry out for a music”.
In the improvisation, with letter forgotten there for the as much and blown up rope of guitar, the fans had been taken care of and had left the show than more satisfied, as a special complement for hits that they waited. They turn a different face the Coldplay that costuma to play safe, and the proper group must have perceived that it does not ache to leave script of time in when.
I was touching the stage...grabbing Chris´legs!!! It was the most wonderful experience of my life! But there is a very interesting story about the "Shiver" part.
Chris is the most humble star! He could be a diva, but he is NOT...and Guy (he used to be my favorite one...his spell on me is over!) is such a diva.
When we all started to scream for Shiver (since i was glued to the stage) i could see them leaving it and i saw Chris holding Guy back and sayin...COME ON COME ON....Guy said NOOOOO
Chris came to the stage again all alone and grabbed his guitar sort of embarrassed...looking behind waiting for his mates (Guy and Will) that NEVER SHOWED UP! He started singing an accountic Shiver. Jonny...another cool guy showed up to help his mate and also played. Chris kept looking behind to look for Guy and Will and got sort of embarrassed about it. At least i could notice it.
Chris and Jonny...U ARE MY IDOLS!!! U ARE THE BEST!!!

Hello everyone!!!
Sorry for coming only now, I've just arrived home after almost 8 hours between airports and planes (I live far far away from São Paulo). Unfortunately I couldn't join the group to see the boys in the hotel because I was with my boyfriend (and he hates Coldplay) and he was already going to the concert with me it was too much to ask to go to the hotel... Anyway I feel that part of me was there with people from ColdplayBR.com and I feel almost as happy as them!! And, of course, listening to their songs live at Via Funchal was much more than I could ever ask!
I'm sorry I don't have enough words to describe how good was the last night for me. My seat was in the fourth row it was hell expensive but as soon as I arrived there I realized it was totally worthy. My seat was in the center, and in the left side of it there was an empty row (where people walked to arrive in their seats) so, during the gig, I would have an incredible view. I would if there weren't a bunch of stupid assholes (seated behind me) that left their seats and went to this empty row and I asked 'please, go back to your seat' and they went nearer to the stage (the center of the first and second row weren't sold, so just the guests from production were there) where people didn't pay that much to their seats and didn't ask that people to leave... and the worst thing was that most of them just knew how to sing the chorus line of speed of sound and fix you...
But the concert was amazing, the best night of my life, I think Mariana's review is really good, we had Sparks and Daylight (which were awesome) and we're supposed to have Love me tender, but they didn't play it. It was fun that when they started playing Sparks Chris said they were going to play High Speed, and then 'oh no, it's Shiver' and finally he said it was all a joke
Chris didn't go to the crowd during In My Place, don't know why, maybe because there wasn't enough space in the venue. Chris and Jonny relationship in the stage is fabulous!! By the way if you wanted to see Guy, Jon or Will the way was all free, all the attentions of 90% of the crowd went to Chris Martin. Probably an effect of the high price of the tickets that left many true fans of the band outside the concert.
I almost didn't take any pictures because I'm not very good in it!
Another thing that was really cool was that Oxfam promoters were giving some 'make trade fair signs tatoos!
I recorded some videos, but somehow I changed the camera settings to the lowest resolution! In the end I understood that it wasn't a bad thing because that allowed me to record the best Coldplay song ever and the song that made my night to be never forgotten!! SHIVER!!! OMG I still can't believe it happened!! Every time I watch the video it does make me shiver!! I'm uploading it right now,sorry for some parts, I was shaking!! I couldn't hold all that emotion! And of course I knew It was my duty to record it and share it with all of you that are always so kind and so helpful, what makes me to be so glad of being a part of this community!!
Sorry for the long and crazy post, I've just arrived home and I'm still very excited!!
[Thanks Cris_Santos]
