Speaker 3: tonight if you were fortunate enough to be going to Eden.

00:01:00,173 --> 00:01:05,093
Speaker 3: Park Stell Clifford celebrated her birthday last night at coldplaye

00:01:05,093 --> 00:01:07,813
Speaker 3: and she joins me, now morning hello.

00:01:07,973 --> 00:01:10,213
Speaker 4: I mean, if you're gonna have a birthday party put

00:01:10,213 --> 00:01:13,533
Speaker 4: on for you, why not with fifty seven thousand other people? Right?

12
00:01:13,813 --> 00:01:17,493
Speaker 3: Firstly, happy birthday, Happy Hey. I'm sure that you know

13
00:01:17,573 --> 00:01:19,493
Speaker 3: you like the birthday to take the whole weekend.

14
00:01:20,013 --> 00:01:24,813
Speaker 4: Happy birthday weekend, Thank you? Okay, and what a spectacular night.

15
00:01:24,933 --> 00:01:28,493
Speaker 4: I accidentally got tickets from some friends selling some tickets

16
00:01:28,493 --> 00:01:30,973
Speaker 4: on so it was a very last minute thing for me,

17
00:01:31,813 --> 00:01:33,813
Speaker 4: but it felt like it was just supposed to be.

18
00:01:33,973 --> 00:01:37,293
Speaker 4: I took my five year old and can I just say,

19
00:01:38,133 --> 00:01:40,413
Speaker 4: if you're going to do that, make sure you tether

20
00:01:40,493 --> 00:01:41,493
Speaker 4: yourselves together with.

21
00:01:41,453 --> 00:01:44,053
Speaker 3: A ribbon, yes which week it is?

22
00:01:44,813 --> 00:01:47,373
Speaker 4: And then imagine sky full of stars which is my

23
00:01:47,453 --> 00:01:51,253
Speaker 4: daughter Ava's favorite song because it's on sing too, and

24
00:01:51,453 --> 00:01:54,093
Speaker 4: Chris Martin is like she feels like he's looking at her.

25
00:01:54,253 --> 00:01:55,893
Speaker 4: Her arms are in the air with a light up

26
00:01:56,013 --> 00:02:01,133
Speaker 4: led band, they catapult star confetti into the sky like

27
00:02:01,173 --> 00:02:04,253
Speaker 4: it just it's like it was so magic. And the

28
00:02:04,293 --> 00:02:06,693
Speaker 4: thing was is the whole concert was like that didn't

29
00:02:06,693 --> 00:02:09,213
Speaker 4: have to wait until you know how usually near the

30
00:02:09,293 --> 00:02:11,653
Speaker 4: end is when all the fireworks and the confetti and the.

31
00:02:12,653 --> 00:02:14,053
Speaker 3: Like they fire them off.

32
00:02:15,413 --> 00:02:18,373
Speaker 4: That's right, Like it's just a cacophony of sound and

33
00:02:18,493 --> 00:02:21,773
Speaker 4: magic and color the whole entire time. I do want

34
00:02:21,773 --> 00:02:24,173
Speaker 4: to say Chris Martin and the band, they have some

35
00:02:24,293 --> 00:02:27,133
Speaker 4: amazing kicks. Their shoes were incredible. I'm a shoe girl,

36
00:02:27,573 --> 00:02:30,213
Speaker 4: so noticed all the color there. Thank you very much.

37
00:02:31,093 --> 00:02:34,013
Speaker 4: But singing those songs and the big tunes too, you know,

38
00:02:34,133 --> 00:02:37,653
Speaker 4: like these guys have got a massive back catalog or

39
00:02:37,653 --> 00:02:39,813
Speaker 4: their new albums that they've had out. How to mix

40
00:02:39,893 --> 00:02:44,453
Speaker 4: that with them songs like Yellow Fix you like still

41
00:02:44,493 --> 00:02:46,813
Speaker 4: willing to do the classics and I think they just

42
00:02:46,853 --> 00:02:50,493
Speaker 4: went you know, the theme of this whole concert is

43
00:02:51,053 --> 00:02:56,213
Speaker 4: just idle ha, good vibes, unity and very festival but

44
00:02:56,453 --> 00:02:58,613
Speaker 4: real inclusive and I I mean, you know, like I

45
00:02:58,653 --> 00:03:00,773
Speaker 4: wouldn't necessarily always choose to go to a concert with

46
00:03:00,813 --> 00:03:04,373
Speaker 4: a five year old, but what a magical experience.

47
00:03:05,093 --> 00:03:08,053
Speaker 3: I think my son was eight, I think, and I

48
00:03:08,093 --> 00:03:10,293
Speaker 3: took him to Taylor Swift and that was the big

49
00:03:10,453 --> 00:03:14,853
Speaker 3: first concert aside from you know, seeing the Wiggles and

50
00:03:14,853 --> 00:03:16,933
Speaker 3: stuff like that. Yeah, yeah, I think that was. And

51
00:03:16,973 --> 00:03:19,493
Speaker 3: the key thing. The other thing you do Estella is

52
00:03:19,493 --> 00:03:21,333
Speaker 3: not just take yourself together, but get the old vivid

53
00:03:21,373 --> 00:03:23,733
Speaker 3: out and you write your cell phone numbers down the arm.

54
00:03:23,813 --> 00:03:25,413
Speaker 4: Yes, absolutely, ye.

55
00:03:25,733 --> 00:03:28,853
Speaker 3: Gigs and airports we used to do that. And then finally,

56
00:03:28,933 --> 00:03:31,333
Speaker 3: I think my kids are quite old moment, seriously, we

57
00:03:31,373 --> 00:03:33,853
Speaker 3: can remember we will phone number. You do not need

58
00:03:33,933 --> 00:03:36,973
Speaker 3: to put Vivid all over me as we walk through airports.

59
00:03:37,173 --> 00:03:37,653
Speaker 4: I love that.

60
00:03:38,013 --> 00:03:38,293
Speaker 2: Really.

61
00:03:38,813 --> 00:03:41,053
Speaker 4: You know, the thing about singing anyone live is you

62
00:03:41,093 --> 00:03:43,133
Speaker 4: have a new respect for them, don't you, because you

63
00:03:43,173 --> 00:03:46,133
Speaker 4: see their talents. Chris Martin one minute he's singing and dancing,

64
00:03:46,293 --> 00:03:48,253
Speaker 4: then he's on the piano, then he's on a guitar,

65
00:03:48,733 --> 00:03:51,053
Speaker 4: then he's interacting with all the signs and people in

66
00:03:51,093 --> 00:03:54,653
Speaker 4: the audience. That's a lot the energy that he propels

67
00:03:54,653 --> 00:03:56,733
Speaker 4: out and the rest of the band, and then to

68
00:03:56,773 --> 00:03:59,173
Speaker 4: see this whole crowd kind of give their energy back

69
00:03:59,493 --> 00:04:01,573
Speaker 4: when the balloons went up in the air. My daughter

70
00:04:01,573 --> 00:04:03,773
Speaker 4: and I were down on the energy stages and they

71
00:04:03,893 --> 00:04:07,533
Speaker 4: charge the batteries that help run the shows. And my

72
00:04:07,653 --> 00:04:10,613
Speaker 4: daughter saw those and she's like, we're off. You're like, okay,

73
00:04:10,773 --> 00:04:13,373
Speaker 4: yes we are. Mother drags behind child with a ribbon

74
00:04:13,373 --> 00:04:16,293
Speaker 4: attached around their wrist, and people in the audience are

75
00:04:16,333 --> 00:04:18,533
Speaker 4: like chucking her the balloon so she can throw them

76
00:04:18,533 --> 00:04:19,093
Speaker 4: in the air.

77
00:04:20,213 --> 00:04:21,013
Speaker 3: Like that's wonderful.

78
00:04:21,253 --> 00:04:23,013
Speaker 4: It's that you can release you in a child, but

79
00:04:23,053 --> 00:04:25,253
Speaker 4: even more so if you are there with young kids.

80
00:04:25,293 --> 00:04:26,773
Speaker 4: And it just was magic. I mean there were times

81
00:04:26,773 --> 00:04:29,013
Speaker 4: where I was like, hang on, what songs playing because

82
00:04:29,013 --> 00:04:33,573
Speaker 4: we were so busy chasing or interacting or running around. Yeah,

83
00:04:33,653 --> 00:04:35,653
Speaker 4: I feel like I've had a very very big workout.

84
00:04:35,733 --> 00:04:39,333
Speaker 4: I'm quite quious. But the water place to let it go,

85
00:04:39,573 --> 00:04:42,613
Speaker 4: you know. Yeah, And to see here those songs played

86
00:04:42,653 --> 00:04:44,853
Speaker 4: lovel I haven't seen cold Play live before? Have you

87
00:04:44,893 --> 00:04:45,293
Speaker 4: seen them?

88
00:04:45,573 --> 00:04:48,333
Speaker 3: I have seen them three times, so I gave I

89
00:04:48,373 --> 00:04:51,373
Speaker 3: gave this one a miss, but I'll tell you what

90
00:04:51,493 --> 00:04:54,173
Speaker 3: I don't think. And we had Chris Scholtz on this morning.

91
00:04:54,173 --> 00:04:55,933
Speaker 3: He was talking about films and he'd been last night

92
00:04:55,973 --> 00:04:59,813
Speaker 3: and he said, he's a very experienced, slightly jaded cons

93
00:04:59,933 --> 00:05:01,453
Speaker 3: go and he said to me he found it a

94
00:05:01,493 --> 00:05:04,653
Speaker 3: little bit schmeltzy and a little bit everything on cue

95
00:05:04,693 --> 00:05:07,893
Speaker 3: and a bit yeah practice and things like that. And

96
00:05:07,893 --> 00:05:09,573
Speaker 3: I said to him, Yeah, but you know what, that's

97
00:05:09,573 --> 00:05:11,973
Speaker 3: what you want. You went and had a magical night,

98
00:05:12,453 --> 00:05:14,813
Speaker 3: and that's what you got. Bang for your buck. You've

99
00:05:14,813 --> 00:05:17,013
Speaker 3: got your confetti, your fireworks, you've got everything. You've got

100
00:05:17,013 --> 00:05:19,853
Speaker 3: your favorite songs. I like a band that is prepared

101
00:05:19,893 --> 00:05:22,653
Speaker 3: to go back and play the songs for the fifty

102
00:05:22,733 --> 00:05:25,853
Speaker 3: millionth time and because that's actually what they know the

103
00:05:25,973 --> 00:05:30,453
Speaker 3: audience wants. So I saw them first in two thousand

104
00:05:30,493 --> 00:05:33,733
Speaker 3: and one. They came out for big day out Estelle.

105
00:05:33,773 --> 00:05:37,853
Speaker 3: You're too young to remember this, and the record company

106
00:05:37,893 --> 00:05:39,453
Speaker 3: said too. I was working in music TV and the

107
00:05:39,493 --> 00:05:42,333
Speaker 3: record company said, hey, we're doing this small private show

108
00:05:42,413 --> 00:05:44,773
Speaker 3: at Galatos, which is a sort of a very small

109
00:05:44,853 --> 00:05:47,173
Speaker 3: venue in k Road with this tiny little stage, and

110
00:05:47,173 --> 00:05:48,453
Speaker 3: they said, you've got to come and see this band.

111
00:05:48,493 --> 00:05:49,893
Speaker 3: They're called Cold Plane. They're going to be the next

112
00:05:49,933 --> 00:05:51,933
Speaker 3: biggest band in the world. Yeah, right, right, we'll come

113
00:05:51,973 --> 00:05:53,573
Speaker 3: for a band. Oh my god, so you go along.

114
00:05:54,213 --> 00:05:56,813
Speaker 3: They came out on stage and Chris Martin was wearing

115
00:05:56,813 --> 00:05:59,373
Speaker 3: a yellow T shirt, I think, brown pants and bare feet.

116
00:05:59,773 --> 00:06:01,573
Speaker 3: They played a couple of songs, so this was the

117
00:06:01,613 --> 00:06:05,693
Speaker 3: album Parachutes, you know, Spies, Yellow Shiver, Trouble, and then

118
00:06:05,733 --> 00:06:08,253
Speaker 3: he played a couple of songs on his own and

119
00:06:08,373 --> 00:06:11,893
Speaker 3: the route that the feel in the room just changed,

120
00:06:11,973 --> 00:06:13,693
Speaker 3: And at one point there was a guy standing next

121
00:06:13,693 --> 00:06:15,293
Speaker 3: to me and he turned me and went, what's going on?

122
00:06:15,573 --> 00:06:18,213
Speaker 3: He was looking around the room. Every female in that

123
00:06:18,293 --> 00:06:21,533
Speaker 3: room had just fallen in love with Chrismatins. He sang

124
00:06:21,613 --> 00:06:23,613
Speaker 3: like he was singing just to you. He didn't have

125
00:06:23,693 --> 00:06:26,093
Speaker 3: to try hard, just had the charisma, had the voice,

126
00:06:26,133 --> 00:06:28,093
Speaker 3: had the songs, and actually.

127
00:06:29,613 --> 00:06:32,173
Speaker 4: Astounding to think he played Yellow in a small environment,

128
00:06:32,293 --> 00:06:34,093
Speaker 4: Like I look at it.

129
00:06:34,093 --> 00:06:36,693
Speaker 3: It was tiny, and I just think that gig finished

130
00:06:36,693 --> 00:06:39,133
Speaker 3: and we all each other went, oh, actually, they may

131
00:06:39,133 --> 00:06:41,893
Speaker 3: be the next biggest band in the world. It was phenomenal.

132
00:06:41,933 --> 00:06:44,333
Speaker 3: I'll never forget it. I remember that probably more than

133
00:06:44,373 --> 00:06:46,213
Speaker 3: I remember the two other gigs I've been to to

134
00:06:46,213 --> 00:06:47,213
Speaker 3: see them play since.

135
00:06:47,373 --> 00:06:49,493
Speaker 4: Because that's a magic moment in the starting part of

136
00:06:49,493 --> 00:06:53,093
Speaker 4: a career, right that actually then catapults somewhere crazy and

137
00:06:53,133 --> 00:06:55,053
Speaker 4: then to come to huge gigs like this where they're

138
00:06:55,093 --> 00:06:57,013
Speaker 4: selling out around the world, and you know what, I'm

139
00:06:57,053 --> 00:06:59,613
Speaker 4: okay with the schmaltz and stuff, because there's enough negativity

140
00:06:59,653 --> 00:07:01,733
Speaker 4: around on the world totally can go to a place

141
00:07:01,773 --> 00:07:04,053
Speaker 4: and just escape there for a birch then, And also

142
00:07:04,173 --> 00:07:06,653
Speaker 4: like it should be a well oiled machine. You've got

143
00:07:06,653 --> 00:07:09,373
Speaker 4: you've got, you've got pyrotechnics going off all the way,

144
00:07:09,653 --> 00:07:14,333
Speaker 4: and there's got to be something that's that's rehearsed about there,

145
00:07:14,373 --> 00:07:18,173
Speaker 4: and I'm okay with that, Like it's okay to be slack,

146
00:07:18,213 --> 00:07:20,013
Speaker 4: I think, you know. But he's also like you say

147
00:07:20,053 --> 00:07:22,733
Speaker 4: that charisma just doesn't die in him, does it, Like

148
00:07:22,933 --> 00:07:26,173
Speaker 4: doesn't need to try. Also even Park Holy Molly, first

149
00:07:26,213 --> 00:07:28,253
Speaker 4: concert I've come away from and my ears aren't ringing.

150
00:07:28,653 --> 00:07:30,093
Speaker 3: Oh fantastic, gotcha.

151
00:07:30,973 --> 00:07:33,733
Speaker 4: The sound around the stadium was really great. The people

152
00:07:33,773 --> 00:07:37,973
Speaker 4: on the ground, security, all the staff like just did

153
00:07:37,973 --> 00:07:40,053
Speaker 4: a really great job at looking after everybody and getting

154
00:07:40,053 --> 00:07:41,853
Speaker 4: people to the right places. We tuned up on the

155
00:07:41,893 --> 00:07:44,693
Speaker 4: opposite side of the stadium and some security guy got

156
00:07:44,773 --> 00:07:47,613
Speaker 4: Abra andoy onto a cart and we were delivered round

157
00:07:47,653 --> 00:07:48,453
