I saw Coldplay last night in Toronto. My big question: who is playing the keyboard parts on Viva La Vida and Lovers In Japan. Certainly not Chris... he's usually jumping around far away from any instruments. This made me pay attention more carefully to other songs... and most have a keyboard part in them, definately not played by Chris. Clocks for example. His hand are up in the air during the "confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks" part. Do they have another person backstage, or do they play along with pre-recorded tracks? The guitar solo on "Yes" was too absolutely note-for-note perfect, which makes me think they have a lot of pre-recorded stuff behind the scenes that they are either triggering or simply playing along Karaoke style. I must say, as a huge Coldplay fan, this is disappointing. Mr. Mario
