And Juanma8, the link leads to some videos of Coldplay doing stripped down acoustic performances of some songs from a while ago on a radio show. I'm afraid I don't know how to rip the videos or the audio. Someone here should be able to do it.

Awesome! Thanks for posting this. I'm listening to "Lost" right now, and they sound really great.

I think "Lost-" is the instrumental of "Lost!".

God Put a Smile upon Your Face Daylight White Shadows The World Turned Upside Down I find those songs very upbeat and great to work out to. :)

Whoa. I really, really like the melody he plays in "Clocks" (starting at 3:13) a little before he sings "You are / Home, home, where I wanted to go".

YES, a complete "Maple Leaf Rag" video. :D Thanks for the videos!

Agh. Sorry, Ian. I just sent you a private message that basically repeated my previous post. Please ignore it.

I could be wrong, but I think Chris played Scott Joplin's "Maple Leaf Rag", not "The Entertainer" (the music that segues into "Viva la Vida").

:thumbsup: I love the piano in "Goodbye and Goodnight", and the song itself. It's quite gorgeous. I'm sure the boys have a good reason for why they decided to not release "Bloodless Revolution". And yes, we should respect that. :)

Gah. I can't believe Chris is just sitting. RIGHT. THERE. That's so awesome that he kept looking at you. :D Thanks for all the great pictures too.

Thank you so much for uploading "Lost?"! I was hoping one would pop up. ETA: Haha, Chris. "Oh, shi-". :lol: Anyway, that was beautifully played. I love the piano.

I agree with you; at times, the backing vocals sound too similar to the studio recording, especially with "Viva la Vida". If they really are not singing the "Oooohhhh's" or the quieter "Ooooooh's" at the very end, it bothers me even more that they're pretending to sing. Also, I can't help but think the four-part harmonies during "Fix You" are pre-recorded when they play it live, except for Chris's part. :\ I just think it sounds too close to the studio recording. Of course, I could be completely wrong on this. I adore Coldplay. I truly do, but this bothers me so much. I hope I'm wrong and the boys really are singing the backing vocals and harmonies live, or they have a very good reason to use pre-recorded vocals.

Thank you so much, perejro! And yay, that's my first post here.
