Coldplay Bandmates Balance Martin’s Showmanship
Joshua Klein of the Chicago Tribune reviewed Coldplay’s concert at UIC Pavilion. Klein writes, “As Martin pounded at his piano, hopped around like a lunatic or strummed his guitar while spinning in circles, the other three members of Coldplay kept the songs rooted in melody and muscular playing. Like a series of weights and pulleys meant to keep things in balance, they made sure Martin’s showmanship never subsumed Coldplay’s carefully calibrated pop songs.” Chicagotribune.com has since removed the article.
