"Lost (w/ Jay-Z)" and "Viva La Vida" - Coldplay

Coldplay was a big winner last night (unless you count Chris Martin's midriff-bearing shirt... in which case, everyone lost), and they didn't disappoint onstage. Martin opened solo on "Lost," with Jay-Z joining him for a verse later on. I'm finding myself becoming a fan of this stupidly-addicting song that pulls from the same 7 chord bank that Coldplay's utilized since Parachutes, and it still sounds good. That transitions to "Viva La Vida...", with the whole band on stage doing their high-energy British freak-out session. All in all, it's no wonder these guys are one of the world's biggest rock bands. They can put on a show. And maybe Brian Eno is helping more than we expected...
