Simple Steve

Does Coldplay use those giant projection screens in their concerts that allow you to see the band a little clearer? I ask because I want to see them in Louisville, and it looks like I'll have sit in the nosebleed section. Unfortunately I only recently discovered their music, so I'll have to wait for another year to snag good seats. But the giant screens would help.

Well, certainly Coldplay isn't faking it. But they may be using some prerecorded parts to play things that are only possible in the studio. But what's wrong with that? That's like saying it's wrong for a guitarist to use a pedal. I'm a big Kansas fan and would love to see them play "The Pinnacle" live which is basically impossible with the band's current configuration. But it wouldn't bother me a bit if they had to "fake" part of it. Some people....Ya know? Of course, let's not get started on the "Britney" acts of the world!
