So this is going to be bringing back some fabulous memories,
hopefully for those of you who have already seen Coldplane,
getting the rest of you very excited about the concert
tonight if you were fortunate enough to be going to Eden.
Park Stell Clifford celebrated her birthday last night at coldplaye
and she joins me, now morning hello.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
I mean, if you're gonna have a birthday party put
on for you, why not with fifty seven thousand other people? Right?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Firstly, happy birthday, Happy Hey. I'm sure that you know
you like the birthday to take the whole weekend.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Happy birthday weekend, Thank you? Okay, and what a spectacular night.
I accidentally got tickets from some friends selling some tickets
on so it was a very last minute thing for me,
but it felt like it was just supposed to be.
I took my five year old and can I just say,
if you're going to do that, make sure you tether
(01:40):
yourselves together with.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
A ribbon, yes which week it is?
Speaker 4 (01:44):
And then imagine sky full of stars which is my
daughter Ava's favorite song because it's on sing too, and
Chris Martin is like she feels like he's looking at her.
Her arms are in the air with a light up
led band, they catapult star confetti into the sky like
it just it's like it was so magic. And the
thing was is the whole concert was like that didn't
(02:06):
have to wait until you know how usually near the
end is when all the fireworks and the confetti and the.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Like they fire them off.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
That's right, Like it's just a cacophony of sound and
magic and color the whole entire time. I do want
to say Chris Martin and the band, they have some
amazing kicks. Their shoes were incredible. I'm a shoe girl,
so noticed all the color there. Thank you very much.
But singing those songs and the big tunes too, you know,
like these guys have got a massive back catalog or
(02:37):
their new albums that they've had out. How to mix
that with them songs like Yellow Fix you like still
willing to do the classics and I think they just
went you know, the theme of this whole concert is
just idle ha, good vibes, unity and very festival but
real inclusive and I I mean, you know, like I
(02:58):
wouldn't necessarily always choose to go to a concert with
a five year old, but what a magical experience.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
I think my son was eight, I think, and I
took him to Taylor Swift and that was the big
first concert aside from you know, seeing the Wiggles and
stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, I think that was. And
the key thing. The other thing you do Estella is
not just take yourself together, but get the old vivid
out and you write your cell phone numbers down the arm.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
Yes, absolutely, ye.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Gigs and airports we used to do that. And then finally,
I think my kids are quite old moment, seriously, we
can remember we will phone number. You do not need
to put Vivid all over me as we walk through airports.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
Really.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
You know, the thing about singing anyone live is you
have a new respect for them, don't you, because you
see their talents. Chris Martin one minute he's singing and dancing,
then he's on the piano, then he's on a guitar,
then he's interacting with all the signs and people in
the audience. That's a lot the energy that he propels
out and the rest of the band, and then to
see this whole crowd kind of give their energy back
(03:59):
when the balloons went up in the air. My daughter
and I were down on the energy stages and they
charge the batteries that help run the shows. And my
daughter saw those and she's like, we're off. You're like, okay,
yes we are. Mother drags behind child with a ribbon
attached around their wrist, and people in the audience are
like chucking her the balloon so she can throw them
in the air.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Like that's wonderful.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
It's that you can release you in a child, but
even more so if you are there with young kids.
And it just was magic. I mean there were times
where I was like, hang on, what songs playing because
we were so busy chasing or interacting or running around. Yeah,
I feel like I've had a very very big workout.
I'm quite quious. But the water place to let it go,
you know. Yeah, And to see here those songs played
(04:42):
lovel I haven't seen cold Play live before? Have you
seen them?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I have seen them three times, so I gave I
gave this one a miss, but I'll tell you what
I don't think. And we had Chris Scholtz on this morning.
He was talking about films and he'd been last night
and he said, he's a very experienced, slightly jaded cons
go and he said to me he found it a
little bit schmeltzy and a little bit everything on cue
and a bit yeah practice and things like that. And
(05:07):
I said to him, Yeah, but you know what, that's
what you want. You went and had a magical night,
and that's what you got. Bang for your buck. You've
got your confetti, your fireworks, you've got everything. You've got
your favorite songs. I like a band that is prepared
to go back and play the songs for the fifty
millionth time and because that's actually what they know the
audience wants. So I saw them first in two thousand
(05:30):
and one. They came out for big day out Estelle.
You're too young to remember this, and the record company
said too. I was working in music TV and the
record company said, hey, we're doing this small private show
at Galatos, which is a sort of a very small
venue in k Road with this tiny little stage, and
they said, you've got to come and see this band.
They're called Cold Plane. They're going to be the next
biggest band in the world. Yeah, right, right, we'll come
(05:51):
for a band. Oh my god, so you go along.
They came out on stage and Chris Martin was wearing
a yellow T shirt, I think, brown pants and bare feet.
They played a couple of songs, so this was the
album Parachutes, you know, Spies, Yellow Shiver, Trouble, and then
he played a couple of songs on his own and
the route that the feel in the room just changed,
And at one point there was a guy standing next
(06:13):
to me and he turned me and went, what's going on?
He was looking around the room. Every female in that
room had just fallen in love with Chrismatins. He sang
like he was singing just to you. He didn't have
to try hard, just had the charisma, had the voice,
had the songs, and actually.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Astounding to think he played Yellow in a small environment,
Like I look at it.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
It was tiny, and I just think that gig finished
and we all each other went, oh, actually, they may
be the next biggest band in the world. It was phenomenal.
I'll never forget it. I remember that probably more than
I remember the two other gigs I've been to to
see them play since.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Because that's a magic moment in the starting part of
a career, right that actually then catapults somewhere crazy and
then to come to huge gigs like this where they're
selling out around the world, and you know what, I'm
okay with the schmaltz and stuff, because there's enough negativity
around on the world totally can go to a place
and just escape there for a birch then, And also
like it should be a well oiled machine. You've got
you've got, you've got pyrotechnics going off all the way,
(07:09):
and there's got to be something that's that's rehearsed about there,
and I'm okay with that, Like it's okay to be slack,
I think, you know. But he's also like you say
that charisma just doesn't die in him, does it, Like
doesn't need to try. Also even Park Holy Molly, first
concert I've come away from and my ears aren't ringing.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Oh fantastic, gotcha.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
The sound around the stadium was really great. The people
on the ground, security, all the staff like just did
a really great job at looking after everybody and getting
people to the right places. We tuned up on the
opposite side of the stadium and some security guy got
Abra andoy onto a cart and we were delivered round
to the right side.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Still, normally we get you to rate an album. If
we were going to get to rate a concert, what
would you give it?
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Oh my gosh, Look, this is really hard because elth
and John concerts have always been right at the height
of my up there. But this was pretty close, I think,
a really medical experience. And if I'm going to go
with the mum a daughter thing, I mean that's to
love ifever you're going to get it. So I'm going
to have to give it a ten out of ten.
It was magical to see her beautiful face. Love that
so much.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Still, rest up and enjoy the rest of your birthday weekend.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
I'm good shopping. It's my birthday.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
Thanks for your time today. That was a stuff, Clifford,
and we'll play a little bit more cold Play shortly.
