Led by Chris Martin, Coldplay makes the Cotton Bowl feel intimate with a powerful set
DALLAS
Of Chris Martin’s achievements on Friday night included performing a country song he wrote for thisColdplay show in Dallas, and convincing a crowd of more than 60,000 to turn off their phones.
That is the talent, and the power, of Chris Martin.
On Friday evening one of the world’s more enduring groups kicked off the second leg of their world “Music of the Spheres” tour at the Cotton Bowl.
Martin and Coldplay delivered the show their audience wanted, in a difficult venue.
Coldplay is one of the few acts that can sell 60,000 tickets to a show, and in doing so a lot of people miss out on the intimate feeling of a concert in a place as large as the Cotton Bowl.
Martin, his three bandmates, and the producers did everything possible to deliver a performance that even those in the cheap seats felt like they were a part of the show.
