Monday night (well actually Monday afternoon, but night in London) Coldplay played the opening concert of their Viva La Vida Tour, at the
Brixton Academy in London. The Concert and hilarious interview (with imitations of Flight of the Conchords) is available to stream
here. You need Real Player i believe, if you are on a Mac or Windows Media for the rest of you. For those of you who are not going to listen, here is the set list from the night.

All In all i think this is an awesome set, and the show sounded amazing. I am excited to see them in July. There are still
tickets available for Wednesdays show, while Tuesdays show goes on sale this Saturday at noon.
The Radio interview is interesting. Chris Martin (the lead singer) talked about the last song on the album, "Death and All His Friends" and how it is a call to finish the race we are running. To fight against death, and feeling down about your life. My favorite lyric on the entire album happens top be in that song.
"I don't want to battle from beginning to end, I don't want a cycle of recycled revenge, I don't want to follow death and all of his friends"
