Yes, you're right Lee. And about Coldplay - on our mtv2 there was recently their concert, which I have taped. And I have to say I really like it, they're very good live. The lead singer played so well piano and guitar, and they keep contact with people, the atmosphere was good, you could laugh a little, they guys were great. I was impressed especially when they were doing "Trouble". I thought the concert may be little boring, but it wasn't at all.

Subject: sort of ncr: the true measure of a band...

i'm sure that most, if not all,of you will agree with me, that the true measure of a band is if their live performance matches or exceeds their studio effort...we all know that creed way exceeds it...i just thought about this, because i was listening to coldplay on snl...they are not a band i had real major expectations of...but their live performance of 'yellow' was excellent...the singer was great...and the music was good too...i especially liked the acoustic ending...i guess they are worth keeping an eye on...
