this is so so so good. i really miss the old coldplay :( miss them when they were more real, and when not EVERYONE "loved" them. i think about it everywhere i listen to 'parachutes' and 'a rush of blood to the head'. but i agree. this is probably one of their top 5 performances. :)
What makes coldplay great is that their songs are so simple, and they just know how to give a good performance. The introduction is incredible and above all original
Wow. What a gem, this is my favorite Coldplay performance so far! I swear if I blur my eyes and cock my head to the side, I'd think I was hearing/watching a Radiohead performance (which of course is the highest compliment I've got to give). That was a treat.
OMG. It is a masterpiece. I love all their music, but I don understand why some people are against change, In fact I don´t think they have changed, just they have been to a lot of places in the world and they want to bring new cultures and sounds to their albums.
oh god this is amazing, this is one of the songs that changed my life and I really wish I was there... I've seen coldplay live 4 times but they never played this one... thank you for this video
I thought so too. Not too long ago. :D So I can't blame you really. They were all I listened to whole day long. But then I started studying music and listening to older stuff.
glass slides have a darker sound (less bright and metallic) compared to metal slides. the black thing is an ebow, a device that magnetically vibrates the string.
@leatspawn distorsion. delay and reverb probably both set to infinite at the begenning for the intro. just delay (but not set to infinite anymore) during the rest of the song. ebow at the end to get infinite sustain with the glass slide.
i dont know if its about china or what not. but for me, personally this whole album is like a pat on the back when you really need it. especially those last twist to the lyrics.
Jonny utiliza un slide de vidrio en conjunto con un ebow. El ebow le ayuda a sostener la vibración de la cuerda sin atacarla de ninguna manera. Asi, la nota suena limpia, sin ningun tipo de ruído.
More acoustic stuff?! They have to acoustic version of their songs on viva la vida and in my opinion they are going in perfect musical direction since very start.
yea i think they should do more acoustic stuff parachutes was brilliant although i do like how they're takin the band in a new direction so the stuff deson't get stale
i hate that every cover of this song gets the last part wrong. Then change in the last chorus really makes the meaning of the lyrics and the song so much better.
their first 2 albums are freaking incredible but i personally didn't like Mylo Xyloto very much maybe cause it was so far different from that of Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head but that is just me I agree though their earlier stuff is the best and they did have that you never know what your gonna get next from em
the real coldplay!
the real coldplay!!
The perfect live coldplay song. Old times good times. Miss this so much.
My favorite coldplay song
Me too bro
Me toooo
Simultaneously the best version and performance of this song. Love
No matter how beautifully you describe this song , this performance . . your words will never suffice.
This is beauty beyond any verbal definition.
this is so so so good.

This is where I direct people to when they say that Coldplay can't rock. This is incredible.
Parachutes was the most mellow and wonderful shit I have ever heard! Love it!! Coldplay is king!

Please NEVER stop with it!!! see ya 2009 again in munich =) im so happy...
Saw them yesturday ! The best band ever to walk this planet !
this is PERFECTION
in Live show
OMG this song is one of the very best on planet earth. Too bad that Coldplay does not play this on the new tour:( i would love to hear!
simply beautiful. the floating ring of his telecaster on top of an acoustic guitar.... magic =)
I so agree with you... everything seemed so easy and natural... I still love them but i'd die for these songs to be played live again.
One of the most underlooked songs on their album....truely one of their bests :)
Wow. What a gem, this is my favorite Coldplay performance so far! I swear if I blur my eyes and cock my head to the side, I'd think I was hearing/watching a Radiohead performance (which of course is the highest compliment I've got to give).
That was a treat.
i'm seeing them in a little less than 3 weeks. right now it seems like decades away. i cannot wait.
The dramatic last part of this song (4:51) will always be epic
coldplay haters keep hating while coldplay keeps putting out #1 hit over and over.
One of my all time favs here by coldplay, God Bless them.
they literally make me so happy with all their live performances, there is just something about them. idk its brilliance
this is THE BEST PERFORMANCE I've ever heard. I MISS THOSE COLDPLAY! :(
Will Champion, being a boss at 2:46. I love Coldplay!!!!

Fantastic song, this version blew me away!
One of their best songs and one of their best performances . Truly brilliant !
AMAZING!!!! this is my favorite performance ever ... Coldplay = best band in the world!!!
God, I love when he sings with a deeper voice ! Very surprising.
Love this song. One of their best.. Reminds me of someone... Anyway, love coldplay, love his voice and i love the lyrics
OMG. It is a masterpiece.
I love all their music, but I don understand why some people are against change, In fact I don´t think they have changed, just they have been to a lot of places in the world and they want to bring new cultures and sounds to their albums.
i love this song its dark but lovely
This performance is awesome. i love it.
I feel just like DeppsSweetie. Truly underrated song and sadly abandoned tune. Coldplay is epic.
Greetings from Hungary.

I want Jonny's '72 thinline just so I can play that intro...amazing!

So I can't blame you really.

4:52 If there you don't have goosebumps, you are dead from the inside.
I dont agree with you but i love this song..the ending is so emotional...Thank you boys...

awesome performance!
Amazing song!
so beautiful.
freakings awesome man
i think so too. it's awesome..
My favorite song of theirs.
It's called an Ebow. It's a magnetic thing which makes the string vibrate until you run out of batteries.
PERFECTION
The Best! ♥
i dont know if its about china or what not. but for me, personally this whole album is like a pat on the back when you really need it. especially those last twist to the lyrics.

imagine all concert like first 90sec.... amazing
AWESOME!!!
@TheDiz009 true.. In my opinion.. coldplay has heavy pink floyd influence.. the opening.. was so.. pink floyd's "dark side of the moon"..
wonderful song
Mira que nenes que eran!!!!!!!!! los amooo !
12 people couldn't hide there, and they were found.
essa versão me pareceu mais alegre, essa musica é muito linda !
best song from them
PURE HEAVEN....
yea i think they should do more acoustic stuff
parachutes was brilliant
although i do like how they're takin the band in a new direction so the stuff deson't get stale
miss the old coldplay
I've heard this song a trillion times and still I don't know what it's about....does anyone?
29th may can't wait :)
This video is one on the best live versions.. A bit of Eno, there at the end..
no! is a show they did on MTV, i dont know the date and stuff...
amazing..
Favorited!
Do i hear a tad bit of Floyd influence with that intro? I have seen both floyd and CP live.......it's a close call.
eFFin BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!
questa esibizine è da orgasmo!!!!! bellissimo!!!
Anyone know what effect the guitarist (Johnny i believe) is using during the verse to fluctuate the chord.
i love the piano part
what a performance ... lloool000lo0loo veveveve coldplay
Coldplay is my modern The Clash. God Save The Queen! LOL We mean it, man!
i hate that every cover of this song gets the last part wrong. Then change in the last chorus really makes the meaning of the lyrics and the song so much better.
nice, i always wondered what was goin on in those lyrics
their first 2 albums are freaking incredible but i personally didn't like Mylo Xyloto very much maybe cause it was so far different from that of Parachutes and A Rush of Blood to the Head but that is just me I agree though their earlier stuff is the best and they did have that you never know what your gonna get next from em
I've been able to predict every time every I'm gonna get from them
X&Y was also amazing
the BEST BEST BESTTTTTTTT
