As we posted last weekend, Coldplay performed a special Live On Letterman concert for the Late Show in September, and separately performed a track for an episode of the Late Show With David Letterman.
Coldplay seemed to enjoy their time at the Ed Sullivan Theater so much that they refused to leave and gave an impromptu encore performance of Us Against The World for the Late Show audience.
Their roadies were trying to clear the equipment away at the time, but Chris and the band just wanted to carry on and perform. Chris had problems with his microphone so played the encore performance without one.
Contactmusic reports “Slowly everyone joins in on stage. Will realises that Chris has taken the piano stool, so ends up kneeling on the floor. Jonny and Guy have their volume backed almost to off. The whole thing is just a joy to witness. Completely off the script, unplanned and ramshackle, but at the same time completely wonderful. Just the band and the audience sharing the moment”.
They say one of the roadies stated “roadies commence unplugging and switching off and then suddenly Chris is spotted walking back to the stage. Further chaos and pandemonium ensues as it transpires they’re going to do Us Against the World”.
Watch the special encore performance below – recorded by somebody in the Ed Sullivan Theater crowd:

The Jonathan Ross Show made its premiere on ITV1 last night. Guests on the opening show were Sarah Jessica Parker, Lewis Hamilton and Adele.
The new talk show followed a very similar format to his old BBC1 show Friday Night With Jonathan Ross. So much so that certain reviewers are describing it as the same show but with adverts.
It’s a very traditional talk show and still features the backstage “green room” area where guests wait and are shown on a TV screen.
After one guest is interviewed they return to the “green room” area – the same as his old BBC1 show worked (not like The Graham Norton Show where the guest normally stays out when the next one is interviewed.
The set for the show looks very American-esque and reminded me a lot of the sets for The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and Conan.
The new theme tune was produced by Mark Ronson and featured trumpets and orchestral sounds – again, similar to the theme tunes for The Tonight Show, Late Night and Conan in the US.
An ITV1 repeat will air on Thursday 10.35pm and a further repeat will air on ITV2 on Friday at 11.40pm.
The full show is available to watch on ITV Player and there are a couple of exclusive online clips they couldn’t fit into the show:
