I've seen a lot of concerts now, and I have to say that the live talent of Coldplay, their ability to put on a show, and just HOW much of your money's worth you get for seeing them in person, is PHENOMENAL. I don't want to name names but there's some great bands I've seen live and the presentation of their show, or how "into" it they were, was a bit lacking. It's incredibly underrated how good a show Coldplay put on and I'm so glad Conan spotted this

Seen them 5 concert ever....every every

I didn't realize how badly we needed a down to earth interview with chris martin until now. Thanks coco.

This guy sits in a chair exactly like I thought he would sit in a chair.

Back in 2001, 2002, when I was deep in the partying scene, when things would get “too real”, I’d walk out to my car, put on Coldplay, and just zone out for a bit. They helped save my sanity. Years later, they’d help me and my ex-wife get to a place where we could communicate and show respect to each other. Years after that, they’d help me get through my Mom’s cancer. So, hate all you want or love all you want, I haven’t heard any of their new stuff in years but I’m forever a fan. And of course, Coco is just the best. All love to you and yours.

I love that he's "sent" the songs. So magical. Shows you there's more than we can see and comprehend to music. It's a gift

[deevasquez]

How can you not love Chris Martin, such a beautiful soul, such a genuine smile, talented. I watched Coldplay live and it was such an amazing experience, watched Beyonce live at Glastonbury and it was equally amazing. Now there’s nobody left of my generation worth seeing live, wish I could have seen the older greats like Hendrix, or MJ, and in terms of females, Sade or Celine Dion would have been amazing live.

Chris Martin's voice is so calming

[joaquinespinacas]

The lighting wrist that they use in their show is genius. They made every person be part of the show. Beautiful.

“I asked you how the First World War started” Conan is too witty😂😂

[janicebirch]

Wise words from Chris Martin, a wordsmith master, " I'm the best at being me".👏🙏💕

Coldplay has always maintained some level of humility that's kept them grounded. I think even they didn't think they'd get this big as quick. I recall "A Rush of Blood To the Head" being a real game changer, by the time "Clocks" was released, they were going to arenas. I actually did doubt that a piano based band as them could ever play massive stadiums, and turns out I was wrong. Pretty amazing.

I LOVE that Conan lets people talk! You wouldn't get this interview with so many other hosts.

[jt-music-media]

We don't deserve such a high-tier interview host. Thanks Conan & thanks Team Coco <3 <3 <3

[KeijEjercito]

Such a humble guy! Instead of taking credit for the songs, he just said they were sent his way. ❤️

[jq]

Teamwork is like family when it's great. Beautiful. ♥

[imnicelikethat]

The sunlight makes Conan look like he is transparent

[polly_pasta]

Good to hear that collaboration is still important to Chris. And good to hear that the messages are still coming thru from Heaven.

I know a lot of people hate on Coldplay nowadays but say what you want about them, they give some of the best live shows ever! I’ve been to a lot of concerts but theirs is definitely in my top five. If you’re not a fan of them and if you have the money, at least go to one of their shows. It might change your mind about them! On top of that, they are all chill and nice dudes.
