Based on the shows in Seattle and Vancouver, it seems that most people are kind of hoping for a "spiced up" set list for the rest of the dates on this leg of the tour.

 

I was just wondering what you guys had in mind?

 

Here's a setlist that I think would be great, and still possible:

 

1. Square One

2. Politik

3. Shiver

4. God Put a Smile Upon Your Face

5. Yellow

6. Speed of Sound

7. Warning Sign

8. Spies

9. How You See The World

10. What If

 

Acoustic Set

 

11. Till Kingdom Come

12. A Message

13. Sleeping Sun

13. Trouble

 

14. Daylight (even though I don't like this song that much!)

15. Clocks

16. Talk

17. Twisted Logic

 

Encore

 

18. Amsterdam

19. Swallowed In The Sea

20. X&Y

21. Fix You

 

This is probably quite optimistic, but its a longer set, which I think would be great for this leg, and its got some variations. A longer acoustic set, ending with twisted logic, a longer encore are all things that I'm hoping for!

I agree with some of your suggesttions but how can you leave out In My Place and The Scientist????

Though this wasn't what they played in Seattle, this was my dream setlist:

 

1. Square One

2. Politik

3. Yellow

4. God Put a Smile Upon Your Face

5. Speed of Sound

6. Green Eyes

7. The Scientist

8. How You See The World

9. Talk

10. Till Kingdom Come (acoustic)

11. A Message (acoustic)

12. Sparks (acoustic)

13. X&Y

14. Clocks

15. Amsterdam

 

16. What If

17. Swallowed In The Sea

18. Fix You

I left out in my place and the scientist only to bring some variety to the set, i didn't know what else to substitute lol!

 

but obviously, ideally, i would like to hear those two as well!

1. Square One

2. Politik

3. God Put a Smile Upon Your Face

4. Yellow

5. Speed of Sound

6. Warning Sign

7. White Shadows

8. Shiver

9. The Scientist

 

10. Sleeping Sun (acoustic)

11. Don't Panic (acoustic)

12. Sparks (acoustic)

 

13. Talk

14. Clocks

15. Swallowed In The Sea

 

16. A Rush Of Blood To The Head

17. In My Place

18. Ode To Deodorant :D

19. Fix You

 

20. Amsterdam

 

:)

I like that set Sarah, especially Ode in there lol

THe acoustic set should any variation of : Green eyes, see you soon, sleeping sun, don't panic, sparks,

 

 

Tracks that have to be requisite are:

 

Swallowed in the Sea, In My place, Talk, Amsterdam, Fix You, The Scientist, Square One, Politik, White Shadows, Speed of Sound, Yellow, Trouble, Gravity, Warning sign, Shiver, Clocks

 

Tracks that can be intermixed into to different sets:

 

A Message, X & Y, What If, World Turned Upside Down (the new b-side), GPASUYF, AROBTTH, Everything's Not Lost

 

 

 

They could have two encores with Fix You ending the last one. But encores would include: Swallowed in the Sea, which should be their next single and included in every set, Gravity, In My Place, Amsterdam, Life is for Living, Everything's Not Lost (could end it too, with extended chorus ending)

 

 

bottomline, coldplay could probably play most of all their songs as their all quality, this band is truly amazing when it comes to breadth and quantity of that quality. I simply do not understand how X & Y did not get nominated for album of the year. I mean nothing against Kanye and Mariah, but give me a break, Kanye has one hit single (which isn't all that great and the rest is kind of blah), as for Mariah it was like standard R & B singing about the same crap over and over again.

 

My take on the Grammy nominations: For album of the year: U2, Gwen Stefani, Coldplay, Mariah (based on her hits), and Paul (I guess, though I haven't heard the album).

 

song of the year: Speed of Sound or Fix You should make that list easily.

 

record of the year: Again Speed of Sound or Fix You could make that.

 

I mean Carole King (one of the most prolific winners of the Grammys and respected songwriter) even respects and is a fan of The Speed of Sound (though I know there are a lot of haters of the song on these boards). That opening piano riff is so simple but amazing especially with the syncopated bass line in the left hand. Alright enough of the rant, I'm curious as to what other think?

huh,not easy

18.Parachutes

I like you guys ideas, I'm going to do a realistic one, same relative length as the one now, incorporating songs they've played now.

 

Oh, and I'm pretty sure Radiohead would be even more pissed at Coldplay if they decided to start covering their songs live. Anyways, using songs they've played live on this tour for the first one.

3. God Put a Smile Upon Your Face

17. Politik

18. In My Place

19. Fix You

 

I like this setlist because I want to hear trouble acoustic really bad, and even though Square One/Politik have opened up the entire tour, I think "Politik" would be great when they come back for the encore, loads of energy and would get people back into it intensely.

 

My dream setlist for this tour would go, let's see...

 

1. Square One

2. A Rush Of Blood To The Head

3. Don't Panic

4. What If

I know they haven't in the past year, but does Coldplay ever do 2 encores?

 

They should in any case!!
