In October 2011, Coldplay was riding high on the success of their fifth studio album, "Mylo Xyloto," which had been released just weeks earlier on October 24, 2011. The live recording of "Yellow" from a concert in Madrid is part of a promotional event for this album and was streamed live on YouTube, highlighting Coldplay's innovative approach to connecting with fans. The "Coldplay Live: Uns" program showcased the band’s electrifying live performances, which are renowned for their vibrant visuals and emotional engagement with the audience. This concert not only served to fortify the album's promotion but also demonstrated Coldplay's continued evolution as a leading force in the music scene, having transitioned from their earlier post-Britpop sound to a more expansive, arena-friendly aesthetic during this period.
