comment: 
An exc. and outstanding quality. Seeing Coldplay in the cozy confines of Studio 6-A was anincredible experience. I saw the band from a mile away at ACL Fest thissummer and came away disappointed, but this time it proved impossiblenot to feed off Chris Martin and company's hyperkinetic energy. Most of the set list was unsurprising, drawing heavily from X&Y ("Speed of Sound," "Talk," "Kingdom Come") but featuring a few earlierhits as well ("Yellow," "In My Place"). But there was one surprise —about a half-hour into the set, Coldplay brought Michael Stipe onto thestage to cover Joseph Arthur's "In the Sun" and REM's own "Nightswimming." The music was good, but the banter was even better. Martininteracted with the 400 or so audience members between just about everysong. He took special interest in a couple 10- and 11-year-old boys standing up front, dispensing advice for pre-adolescents, handing them lyrics sheets and occasionally self-censoring his cursing. He also jokingly called out a clearly embarrassed young man watching the bandwith arms crossed.
