Yesterday (wednesday 6th July) Coldplay played a secret gig in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

 

The setlist:

1. Square One

2. Politik

3. Speed Of Sound

4. God Put A Smile Upon Your Face

5. Warning Sign

6. X&Y

7. Yellow

8. Low

9. The Scientist

10. Til Kingdom Comes

11. Clocks

12. What If

*********************

13. In My Place

14. A Message

15. Amsterdam

 

Footnotes:

X&Y features Chris on piano. Very melodic. Beautiful piano outro.

Features the lyrics: "You and me surfing on tidal waves, you and me floating in outer space" (... or something like that)

 

Low is the loudest guitar track since Yellow. Guaranteed favourite for the new album, and possible single if you ask me

 

Til Kingdom Comes is lovely Chris/Jonny track. Is fully acoustic, much like 'Green Eyes'

 

Lovely evening. Magical.

 

 

P.s. They completely f*cked up 'Amsterdam'

 

P.p.s. No, I didn't record it. Hell, security even took away my mobile phone

 

Oh, and this gig was recorded for radio + TV broadcast, but they aren't allowed to air/show it before the album's released. I think they said it will be aired both on radio + tv on June 5th.

Aww lucky you! And how bad did they mess up Amsterdam? Lyrics, music or both? :lol:

 

Can't wait to hear Low...

Give us a review, please :D

I hope they don't stop doing Everything's Not Lost, now that X&Y is the next Everything's Not Lost but better

i wouldnt mind so much if they didnt play it..........some songs have to be left out they cant do a 20 song set..........but im sure they could fit in dont panic, come on guys its only 2 minutes long ;)

not me, I love that song

C'mon...SOMEONE had to record it ;)

i think we are running out of time........someone would have been on here with it by now.....

:stunned:

 

No I think it's too early! We did get the KCRW show two days after the concert, so maybe someone will post it tomorrow or soon, at least. I hope!

but i dont want the songs, more just a detailed account of the show track by track, what they sounded like and if anything cool was said by chris or anything weird happened.......

Someone might show up with it. It does seem like its been a little long now, but I don't know. If they were taking phones and everything from people maybe no one did record it. This seems pretty deliberate to prevent what happened at KCRW.

ya i actually dont want it leaked.......if it did there wouldnt be much left from the album we havent heard.

Yeah, I've got mixed feeling about hearing more than I already have. I want to listen, but I want to wait for the album.

 

I'll tell you what I'd at least do: download whatever shows come out before it and try my best not to listen to them. Its best to get the files when they come out and they're easy to find. It would be cool to have a bunch of shows that they did leading up to the release, something cool to have and listen back too.

 

Then again, there's nothing like just listening to the real album, and it will still probably have largely the same effect whether or not i listen to a live version. It will still sound new to be able to actually hear the music and all the lyrics.

 

It'll also be pretty hard to be hearing all these other people talking about new songs if you haven't heard them! Imagine where you'd be in here if you haven't heard "Talk" or any of the KCRW stuff!

^very true my friend

I read that chris fucked up Amsterdam four :o times!

We weren't allowed to take any recording material (not even a mobile phone) inside, they were very (VERY) strict on that matter. So I reckon the chances of someone who recorded it are pretty slim....

ah theres always one person who can manage it!

I hope so for you guys.

Someone probably swallowed their phone and recorded it that way :idea2:

Hopefully... :rolleyes:

:lol:

:/ I really think that there isn't a recording of this.

me too

me too now. we'll get more though :P

Yeah, there will be loads more secret gigs :D
