Thanks mate, this is brilliant! :thumbsup:

Listening to this gives me goosebumps :)

I thought it was incredible when I saw them in Nashville--the goosebumps reference applies--but I wonder why they picked it?

 

The five percenters are a radical sect of the Nation of Islam--the group of Elijhah Muhammed, Malcolm X (only for awhile), and Louis Farrakhan.

 

Why do Coldplay choose that black power vibe to begin the show?

i didn't know about this background, thanks for the info. From what i have read today it was quit controversial in its days. i dont know why coldplay picked this, i think they just liked it when it was presented to them. whoever found this track did a great job imo, its a great repetitive tune and builds up the excitement extremely well and hearing it through that sound system with all the lights dimmed was just too bloody vicious, i loved it! :thumbsup:
