This was Coldplay's performance on Jimmy Kimmel from the other night. They played a song where the singer and guitarist arbitrarily tapped on keyboards at random intervals when they weren't busy doing other things while an orchestra played on a backing track.
So let me understand; are the keyboards on stage as a token prop to represent or somehow signify that Coldplay is "playing" or "triggering" the orchestral parts live? Cuz it looks kinda stupid when they walk away and the orchestra keeps playing. Why not fess up and not pull an ashley simpson or just leave the orchestral parts to be enjoyed on the full produced CD? The mind boggles.
And incidentally, their U2 War-era-esque outfits are a nice touch and should probably tide over the salivating masses who impatiently await Bono and Co's latest addition to the ranks of dinosaur dad rock due later this year.
