Back then? White Shadows is from X & Y, and after that they released Viva La Vida and All His Friends, wich contains their most inspired and greatest song, Viva la Vida, aswell as other excellent songs like Life in Technicolor (see version 2, wich was released after VLV) and Yes, among others.
No, they were not much better back then, they continue to be just as fantastic! =]
@bennemann Honestly "X & Y" is my favorite album. Viva La Vida was great, but (don't hate me for this) "X & Y" to me was just a tad better because I LOVED all the songs on that album, on "Viva La Vida" I just liked Viva La Vida, Lost!, Cemetaries of London, Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love, and Violet Hill. 42 was okay. But we're all Coldplay fans, so I was hust entitled to my opinion. I believe Viva La Vida and X & Y are the two songs that have the most meaning out of both of those albums.
that's guy playing keyboards at the end. Sometimes he even plays the piano at the beginning of 'speed of sound' (like on vh1 storytellers) and he plays the big drum in 'lost!' He's that versatile, just like his other band mates.
yea .. well I actually prefer that they have the extra guy on stage, than just using a backing track. Its just my preference but I hate the idea of backing tracks, it makes the performance less live.
The band has a 'secret' fifth member named Phil that never appears on stage - he takes care of all the parts the guys can't manage when playing live to maintain a thick live sound : )
Although you are right about Phil never appearing on stage, he does not take care of those sounds. It is a backing track, as answered by the Oracle on Coldplay's website.
What I just told you in my last comment was true, but upon reviewing 4:42 it looks like that's Guy (the bass player). Phil will have been playing the electric organ on the string sound off stage : )
I just know from seeing them live that Guy plays the piano & since in this particular video I saw no one else on the keys I think it was guy standing behind Chris at one point where he was playing a keyboard. I know about phil from watching lots of inerviews with Coldplay on YouTube : )
I saw them on PBS "Austin City Limits". That was the second time i'd ever heard this song. I'm hoping at some point that perf. will end up on y.t. If anyone knows somwhere where it is please let me know. Thanx.
The guitar and bass lines are absolutely awesome, what a great sound. What a great song. I am so looking forward to seeing them in concert this year!! MY first coldplay concert ever.
gota be honest and say that the snare doesnt sound real good and the verse sounded a bit empty at the start..is it slower than the cd recording? but that guitar at the end is amazing, reminds me of floyd...absoloutely cant wait for the new album
Coldplay is sooo perfekt!!!I love Coldplay forever!!I think..no I know Coldplay is the best Band on the World!!thanks for this great Video greetings nena
this is an awsome performance but i dont like how he changes octaves so much in the chorus, i love creativity i really do but i wish he kept it more consistent during the chorus.
ah gosh damnit nevermind. i am retarded i was hearing one of the other bandmates singing lower but yea sry ur right. he does sing it higher. i guess its not as noticeable on the album.
i love this song.i love this song. i love this song. i think this song is a bit different from the others but still lovable. i'm seriously in 2 this band. love coldplay forever& EVER. he3
I love Chris Martin, he is so cute!!!!!!!!!!
