1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,080
Speaker 1: Night one of three for Coldplay. They claim over one

2
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand they're going to go through the

3
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: gates by the time it's over. Not dissimilar number to

4
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: the the protest over the Harbor Bridge. I was hearing

5
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: last night on the news they had everything from five

6
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: thousand to eight hundred and fifty thousand. Anyways, z'd be

7
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: afternoons as Matt Heath was there and he's with us.

8
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 2: Matt morning, Good morning, Mike.

9
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: Did you have any of the beads and the glasses?

10
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 1: Were you wearing your glasses the three days?

11
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: I put the three D glasses on and it created

12
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 2: love hearts out of the lights. It was quite spectacular.

13
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 2: They also handed out a wrist band that flashed and

14
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: was GEO located, so that would make words in the

15
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: crowd like believe in love and such. It was pretty.

16
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 2: It was incredible. Actually, the tech was spectacular.

17
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: Did you dance on the dance floor to generate the

18
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: power for the concert?

19
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: I didn't generate any power on my carbon footprint of

20
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 2: the concert was huge, and yeah, I didn't help anything

21
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: at all. But there were fireworks as well, so hopefully

22
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 2: people were jumping up and down enough to offset those.

23
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: Okay, let's get your credential sort of for a concert reviewer.

24
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: What is your concert experience? How many concerts you reckon?

25
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: You've been to?

26
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: Roughly, I think I've been to thousands of concer all

27
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 2: over the world. I think more than most.

28
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 1: Okay, so you've got good cred How many times have

29
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: you seen Coldplay?

30
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: One times? Last night was the first time I stand?

31
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jason, you know Jason yep. He says he's seen

32
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: them six times.

33
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: Six times all around the world or in New Zealand.

34
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 2: How many times they've been to New Zealand? I'm not sure.

35
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: Good question as a concert Then from your thousands of

36
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: concerts you've gone to, where would you rank this one

37
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: having seen them for the first time?

38
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 2: Look, before I went in there, you know, I knew

39
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: Coldplayer and I knew this songs, but I wasn't like

40
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: an album listener, go to stet Snower kind of thing.

41
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 2: And I always found Chris Martin slightly punishable, as you know,

42
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: a talented man, but there was sort of a punishable

43
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: vibe out of it around him. But after watching that concert,

44
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 2: I'd follow that guy out of battle. He's one of

45
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: the greatest funs men i've ever seen. He's up there

46
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 2: with Freddie Mercury and Mick Jagger and people will be

47
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: not believe me until they feed this concert.

48
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: Right, Well, hold on when you say McJagger, because I've

49
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: not seen Freddy Murcury. Ra I've seen mc jagger. McJagger

50
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: is not well when you say front mate, I'm interested

51
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: in the bloke who talks to the audience. McJagger doesn't

52
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: talk to the audience, but he performs. He's a strutter,

53
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: So that's what you're referring to. In Martin's case.

54
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah, I mean he's all dancing, all singing.

55
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: Just the presence is quite phenomenal. He owns the stadium.

56
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: You've got fifty thousand people there. But he owns a Coldplayer,

57
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,040
Speaker 2: a band, and they write the songs together. But it

58
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 2: is all about it's all about Chris Martin. Yeah, yeah,

59
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 2: I mean great, the bass players, phenomenal, Guy Berriman. But yeah,

60
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: it's all about him. He owns the audience and part

61
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 2: of his hands. But also just as a purely put

62
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 2: together spectacle that the show is worth. Even if you

63
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 2: didn't like Coldplay's music, you could just go along and

64
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: marvel at the just how it's put together, how it's

65
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: run of the show, the visual feast of it.

66
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 1: All brilliant, average age of the audience.

67
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 2: It was. It was all all ages. It was a

68
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: four quadrant crowd. I'm very young to very old male female,

69
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 2: it was. It was, it was everyone. You know what

70
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 2: it was. It was a total feel good experience. I'm

71
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: a cynical guy at times, but I have just a

72
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 2: huge smile on my face and at one point even

73
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: a tear in my eye.

74
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: Wow. Would you go again?

75
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: I would definitely go again. I absolutely would.

76
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: Okay, you probably got front of tickets. You probably got

77
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: you probably got free tickets. How much would you pay?

78
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: I was thinking about that, and I was also standing

79
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: there thinking typical of me not to have paid, but

80
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: I think it would be worse. I don't know how

81
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: much the tickets are because I never paid for tickets,

82
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 2: but I would say it would be worth it would

83
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: be worth four hundred dollars.

84
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: Wow. I don't think they were worth four hundred dollars,

85
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: but I never pay for tickets. He lives in a

86
