isaac Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 :) I wondered if anyone knew why Coldplay doesn't perform "What If" more often at live concerts? It's one of my favourite tracks off the new album, so I've been hoping to see it live a lot, but I never see it on any track lists, it seems they don't perform it live. I heard somewhere that they played it and Martin called it the "best fuc*ing thing i've ever written" so I don't know why they don't perform it more often at live venues. Anyone know the reasoning behind this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sienna Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 maybe because its too good? :lol: sorry, for my humor, but yes you are right, What If is one of my fav(if not my fav) of X&Y... at first i thought it was going to be a favorite song of them to play live, but the have somehow decreased the amount of times they play it :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssa Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 Bwaha! I got to see it live. :D One of my favs! Yes! Completely awesome, btw. They replaced Swallowed in the Sea though... my sister and her boyfriend were disappointed. That's like... their love song, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 bigger question(i also wonder why they don't play what if as much) is why don't they just play swallowed in the sea during the acoustic leg of the show.. then play What If.. twisted logic also really needs to be added to a future setlist. not sure where though.. its really meant to be an ender. Square One Politik Yellow Hardest Part God Put A Smile Speed Of Sound Everything's Not Lost Talk Scientist acoustic leg Til Kingdom Come(ring of fire) Swallowed In The Sea(or green eyes) A Message Clocks Low 1st encore In My Place What If (plays into white shadows, like on the album) White Shadows(plays into fix you, like on the album) Fix You Twisted Logic (2nd encore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antics Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I guess they alternate between Swallowed in the Sea and What If. I was blessed with hearing What If live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gitta Rensolo Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I guess they alternate between Swallowed in the Sea and What If. I was blessed with hearing What If live. I was at a concert and there they played both songs.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victaniac Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 There's some songs that they switch so it won't be the same set everywhere. From what I've noticed: Amsterdam A Rush of Blood to the Head What If Swallowed in the Sea The Hardest Part I think that's it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soup Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 Green Eyes/Don't Panic. They vote on that one which I think is really cool. Everythings Not Lost/Amsterdam. A rush of blood has been played consistently i think. not through the entire tour but recently. The Hardest Part was played once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
