Coldplay closed the 2012 Paralympic Games held in London with an impressive 16-piece set. Among them was also the band’s unexpected but well-received collaboration with pop star Rihanna, “Princess of China.”

Check out the video above to see how it turned out live.

Though this isn’t the first time the artists got together for a live rendition of the track, it was, without a doubt, their most spectacular showing.

Not only was Rihanna wheeled in on a giant pirate ship (or a ship that looked like one), covered from head to toe, but there were also countless other elements that made of this a truly amazing live performance.
