11
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yes, yes, that's right about the iHeart Festival.

12
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, which I have to.

13
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: Did you forget you were going to be there?

14
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 3: I did forget, But I have to do that on

15
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 3: my own, which is makes it a little more intimidating.

16
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 3: But I'm happy to be there. Nevertheless.

17
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 5: Well I love it.

18
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,279
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you like this, but when

19
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: you sit down at the piano on a stage and

20
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: start playing a song and then you'd f it up somehow,

21
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: you know, like, oh I fed it up and you

22
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: start over, you have no problem exposing imperfections at all times.

23
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 5: I find that very original and very cool.

24
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 3: Well, that's very sweet, Ivis It's nice to be the

25
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 3: most famous person for getting things wrong. And if that's

26
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 3: my place in the pantheon, I'll take it.

27
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: They were bad to you. An imperfection is big to us.

28
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 2: It sounds great.

29
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: You might not have even noticed it until you pointed

30
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 1: it out.

31
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: Pimples like, oh, I got this pimple. Had you not

32
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 2: pointed the pimple out, we would not have noticed it.

33
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 4: I see, No, what's something.

34
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: We make mistakes every show, of course, I'm sure maybe

35
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 3: you do too. But only occasionally do I feel like

36
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 3: merits to restart, because it's sometimes it's so terrible that

37
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 3: you feel like everyone must have noticed that. But often

38
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 3: we breathe through the smaller ones.

39
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 5: I think you should plant them. You should. You should

40
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 5: strive for imperfection at every every show. Just saying my thought, Okay,

41
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 5: it would be like our show plan. We planned the mistake.

42
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 5: So okay, let's bring everyone up to speed.

43
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: Last night, around seven o'clock, new Cold Play single we

44
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: Pray was released, and we're gonna play that again in

45
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: a few minutes. Also, the album Moon Music is out

46
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 2: in October. And and you're on the road a lot, yes,

47
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 2: And so you're Vienna right now? For instance, tell her

48
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: what you did Wednesday night, because I think this is

49
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 2: really cool what you guys did in Vienna.

50
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: Yes, our shows here were scheduled to be the ones

51
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 3: after Taylor Swift had played here, but they had this

52
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 3: whole scary fiasco and they had to cancel both shows.

53
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 3: So we felt, well, we need to acknowledge all the

54
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: Swifties that are disappointed. So, talking of playing things badly,

55
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: we played Love Story with an amazing, amazing thing called

56
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 3: Maggie Rodgers who's on tour with us this leg of

57
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: the tour, and we did our best and it doesn't

58
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 3: make up for the missing of the real thing, but

59
00:02:50,720 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 3: we did our damn This to acknowledge.

60
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 5: Was security and everything much tighter.

61
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: I mean, how is it different being the first people

62
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: that have played after her and everything that happened with

63
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: her shows.

64
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,079
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a very good question, Cay. It's funny.

65
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 3: I try not to pay attention to security knowing because

66
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: it's I guess that's because you take it for granted.

67
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 3: I feel like, well, everyone's doing that job, and no

68
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 3: big shows are pretty safe, and we go in with

69
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: the with the feeding that most people here to be

70
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: kind to each other and have a great time and

71
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: not to worry about too much what could go wrong?

72
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: Well, and that's the point about in my world anyway,

73
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: going to see a Coldplay concert is you get lost

74
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: because I still do this moment and I have an

75
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: idea for you, by the way, a million, a billion

76
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: dollar idea. I love the moment I sit down at

77
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: your shows and it's always colorful, there's always movement. There's

78
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: so many things you can taste and feel and smell,

79
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: even though you're not putting anything in our noses or

80
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: on our tongues.

81
00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 5: It's just an unbelievable experience.

82
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: And to be able to leave the real world behind,

83
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: there's no easier place to do that than at a

84
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 2: Coldplay concert.

85
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 5: And here's my idea. Okay, the Sphere.

86
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 2: Cold Place should take over the Sphere that was built

87
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 2: for Coldplay was built for the Sphere. The Sphere was

88
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 2: built for Coldplay. Have you seen any of the shows

89
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: at the Sphere yet?

90
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 4: Yes.

91
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: I went to see the U two show, which is amazing,

92
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 3: And we wouldn't play there for a long time a

93
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 3: because their show was perfect and I wouldn't want to

94
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 3: try and follow that because I'm not quite ready to

95
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 3: stay in one place. I think we like moving around

96
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 3: to see people in different places. Still, I'm sure one

97
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: day it will feel more appealing, but right now I

98
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 3: love waking up in different countries and trying to say

99
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 3: hello and finish and then in Thai Taiwanese, and then

100
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,239
Speaker 3: you know, it's fun.

101
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: Do you ever forget where you are?

102
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 4: Like?

103
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: Have you ever gotten on stage and going hey China

104
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: and you're not in China?

105
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 3: It's funny. That's the one I say most days by mistake,

106
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 3: and no, I haven't. The truth is, I haven't done

107
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: that because I don't really like to address a bunch

108
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 3: of people by the name of the place. It's a

109
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,479
Speaker 3: funny front, man, I don't. I tried not to be like, hey,

110
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 3: what's up. I'll tell you why because one time I

111
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 3: saw an artist on the MTV Asian Awards. They came

112
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 3: on and said what's up Asia? And I thought that

113
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 3: was too many people to address.

114
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 5: That once.

115
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 3: A lot of people, So I feel like I try

116
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 3: not to do that. I did it once in nineteen

117
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 3: ninety nine in Leads. I said Hello York and that

118
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 3: if you're from Britain, that's a big mistake.

119
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, my son goes to school in Leads, so yeah,

120
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: they would not have been happening.

121
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: You know what we have been told for years in

122
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: what we do, and I'm sure any one on a

123
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 2: stage could follow suit. Is it's a one on one experience.

124
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: You're not talking to Asia, You're talking to that person

125
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,040
Speaker 2: right there in the audience, and they feel like you're

126
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 2: actually speaking to them. And it's a good reason not

127
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 2: to say hello Asia.

128
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 3: Everyone what they Everyone SHOs to do what they feel

129
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 3: and I do other really silly stuff. So I'm not criticizing.

130
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 3: I choose not to do that. And also I don't

131
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 3: want to make that mistake of staying the wrong place.

132
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: And I know at iHeart jingle Balls and we always

133
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: have a sign right there before they go on stage

134
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 2: and that you are in London, Wow, just in case they,

135
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: oh I didn't know that. Yeah, it's a thing we

136
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 2: do for complimentary service we have for the artist.

137
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 5: Scary as a question, was that.

138
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 6: Chris, you've played our iHeartRadio Music Festival a couple of

139
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 6: times now, can you walk someone who hasn't been there

140
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 6: through that experience and explain why it's so great and

141
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 6: and all the thrill and joy that you get because

142
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 6: you guys are exuberant on stage when I've seen you there.

143
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 3: Okay, scary, where do you want me to How far

144
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 3: do you want me to walk to you from?

145
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: Like I'm assuming that what he's trying to say, it's

146
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: a festival. It's a collection of all different types of

147
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: artists and you all can see each other backstage, and

148
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 2: there's a different type of energy.

149
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 5: Okay, what do you think?

150
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 3: Yes, well you've just kind of answered it, Alvis, but

151
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: that's you don't even need me on this call. I'd

152
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 3: say that the anytime you play a festival, it's an

153
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 3: amazing it's humbling.

154
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 4: For the first part.

155
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 3: It's you're like, oh, that artist is really good or

156
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 3: that song's amazing, and this artist is new and sounds

157
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: better than we've ever been here. It keeps you in

158
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 3: your place, which is really beautiful. And then there's a

159
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 3: healthy amount of like competition. I guess it's it feels

160
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: a bit like what it might feel like to do

161
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: the American Idol X Factor auditions. There's an element of like, well,

162
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,679
Speaker 3: we don't want to be the people who are kicked

163
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 3: off this week, as it were, you know, so it

164
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 3: it's very different to playing your own shows. But I

165
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 3: think that adds this extra drive, and I think everyone's

166
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 3: trying really in a good way. But I think for

167
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: an audience, I don't know. I don't know what it's

168
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 3: like for an audience. I hope it's really fun. So

169
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 3: I'm not really answering a question.

170
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 5: It's something you are.

171
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 1: I don't think that's the one anyway.

172
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 5: I'm totally sent from that answer.

173
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: Can I ask a question off music?

174
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 5: I have to translated?

175
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: No, I hope not. I hope not. So I know

176
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: that you are an avid reader like I am. I

177
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 1: love to read books. So what is the last book

178
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 1: that you read that you love that maybe you can

179
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: recommend to somebody.

180
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 3: Well, I just reread The Alchemist by Paololo?

181
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 5: What a great How many times have you read Alchemists?

182
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 4: The Alchemist? I'm going to say three?

183
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 5: Wow, I'm up to two. I'm behind.

184
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 3: Are you really know that?

185
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 4: So when you get to.

186
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: It is fabulous? What do you What did you get

187
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: from the third read versus the second or the first?

188
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 4: These are amazing questions. I don't know.

189
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 3: I got the same kind of reassurance and restoring of

190
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 3: a certain faith, or a certain optimism, or a certain

191
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 3: keep goingness. I think I often I find that I

192
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,599
Speaker 3: am drawn to books like that when my own confidence

193
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 3: or optimism or faith is wobbling a bit in humanity

194
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 3: or in myself or whatever. So it helps me with that,

195
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 3: just to get back on my feet and keep going.

196
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 2: The Alchemist it's something everyone should read at least one time.

197
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: So Chris Martin, of course, we'll be out on stage
