For a band riding as high as it is right now, Coldplay gave an admirably down-to-earth performance last night at the Tweeter Center.
The British quartet - which has gone multiplatinum worldwide in the last five years - didn't exude a hint of arrogance as it took the stage. And for the next 90 minutes singer Chris Martin, bassist Guy Berryman, guitarist Jonny Buckland and drummer Will Champion put their backs and their hearts into playing an engaging set of their enveloping, dreamy pop rock for a blissed-out capacity crowd.
It was a feel-good show in the best sense of the term with Martin whirlybirding his way across the stage as he sang in his sighing falsetto of the vastness of space and the intimacies of daily existence with a goofy sort of grace. He amiably chatted with the crowd as well and managed to shoehorn the word Massachusetts into interesting places, even singing an impromptu verse on ``Everything's Not Lost'' about people tailgating in the parking lot that managed to avoid pandering.
The band drew heavily from its current release, ``X&Y,'' switching its well-oiled gears easily between loose grooves and soaring melodies of ``Speed of Sound,'' the pinging guitar licks and propulsive rhythms of ``Talk'' and the ethereal ``Swallowed in the Sea.'' More>>>
