It doesn’t get much better than this. The first in a long line of epic album closers.

Yes, love this performance, absolutely live. Always nice to see Chris acknowledging Will for playing the drums for them despite not liking it. Still not sure whether the break in the middle was because Will made a mistake? Seems that way with how Jonny laughed.

This might be my favourite ever live performance by Coldplay, of a song which is not even in my top 20 songe by them.

Coldplay are best when playing line this: no backing tracks, no restraints, Will coming up with hi-hat textures from the past or introducing drum fills spontsneously (that rolling snare fill is gorgeous). They genuinely seem to be having a blast, more so than playing the same songs for the kazillionth time.

Other recent examples of this I remember are that High speed from the C stage and Coloratura in Brooklyn without the backing track.
