elizabeth Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I was just wondering what the usual length of coldplay concerts is. I need to know in order to get the whole get there/back thing out of the way. I plan to buy tix on saturday...hopefully ill find something good.

issueswithyou Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 The last show was around a hour and forty-five. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twin4life Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 i'd expect about 90 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inmyplace13 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Not long enough. 17 songs is weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpfan50 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 They are about an hour 1/2 or just over. They do three songs after the main set as an encore so don't miss those as they are great. 17 songs weak? In the UK an hour 30/40 mins is pretty good - certainly not short. I don't think they leave anyone feeling disapointed... except you inmyplace13! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydney Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 they play 18 songs... 1h 40 minutes more or less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 Around 1 hour 30 to 1 hour 45 seems to be the standard. Wee bit short I feel but still brilliant to see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmyplace13 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 All I'm saying is their body of work (including b-sides) is extensive enough now that they could play maybe 20 songs a night. Maybe add one or two more to the acoustic set or do a second encore. I'm not disappointed at all. The two times I saw them last autumn were ALMOST better than U2 on October 29. They could just extend it, they have the capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason41483 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 They could do plenty more than 17 or 18. Some bands do 20+. If it was Coldplay alone and no supporting acts, I'm sure the concert would last 2+ hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNSparks Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 I went to my first Coldplay concert a few months ago and boy, I was surprised how quickly it seemed to go! Before I knew it, they were doing the encore! Too bad they aren't like what I've heard Bruce Springsteen concerts were like: I could definitely handle three or four hours of Coldplay!!!

clockpolitiks Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 17 songs isnt really weak to me. U2 played maybe 22, they just lasted longer cause bono was talking a lot. U2 was maybe 2 hours 20 min, and it was awesome. I hope they play an extra song or two for the Tampa show I'm going to cause they postponed it.

dpops211 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I think 1.5 hrs. is a little too short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Love Chris Martin Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 its never long enough unfortunately. But they don't perform any less than most bands i guess. I could watch them for forever so it always seem soooo fast and so short! Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaloBoySCP Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 elizabeth, concert in portugal was around 1hr and 50 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Smut Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Most headline bands play a 90minutes set. (give or take a few minutes) And most of Coldplays songs are around 5 minutes each. Remember its Quality not Quantity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabeth Posted November 28, 2005 Author Share Posted November 28, 2005 Remember its Quality not Quantity Very True Thanks everyone, I can go fix the "ride home" problem I was having now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
