mryark Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hey guys - I was wondering what your thoughts were in when you think the best time to see Coldplay live is. Obviously they have a very long tour - would you rather see them in the very beginning of their tour, the middle of their tour, or the end of the tour? I am seeing them on their 2nd show (Washington, DC) and I guess its great that they will all be fresh, but they might not get everything going right until later in the tour. Also perhaps Chris's voice might not sound as good towards the later parts of the tour. Thoughts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I would say middle or end, just when they start to hit their stride. I know usually the first few weeks of a tour are just road-testing the new songs, and fitting them in with the old songs. By the end of the tour they have everything down to a science. But maybe they'll be a little tired. So I said middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunForTheHills Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 So did I, for the same reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I was worried about how good Chris voice would be too, and I saw them In December 2005, only a few months after it started. I wanted it all to be perfect. Then at the start of Politik he got the words wrong and said "Oh f**k", to which everyone burst out laughing - so not quite perfect, but still amazingly excellent. Imperfection is so much more real and ace :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_gloaming09 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 the middle... at the beginning the songs will probably sound somewhat iffy at points, due to a lack of playing the songs frequently. and at the end of the tour they will probably be so tired of touring that they'll become more sloppy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixed Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 At one of the early Twisted Logic shows in Holland in 2005, Chris kept apologising for them being "s**t", even though they sounded pretty good as far as I could tell lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnglishSilk Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I GUESS MIDDLE, AS WELL. When they came to Seattle on X & Y, it was the very first show after having a couple weeks off for Christmas break......they were well rested and jolly from the holidays! I had seen them also just a few months before, and they seemed a bit frazzled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasluvsjonny Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I always see them at all 3 but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApproximatelyInfinite Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 i saw them at their first US date in 2005, after they'd done some europe first, so i guess that counts as the middle. and it was FABULOUS, much better than when i saw them at the end in april 2006...they seemed bored then, almost. well, i mean, it's coldplay, so it was still fabulous, but compared to the first time i saw them, they were less excited, definitely. i think it's probably best to catch them towards the beginning of the middle, or right after they come off of a decent-length break.

Chavi Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I'd say middle for the same reasons as everybody else.. but somehow i'd like to attend their very last show of their tour ! I dont know it must be special in some kind of way, right ?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montreal Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Montreal ---------> 1st show! 2nd leg! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crestingwaves Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 O right. I said beginning, but I thought you meant in any show...not the actual tour. Lol, should have read the question a bit better lol. I'd probably say beginning anyway just because theyre all fresh and excited and the like..and there might even be mistakes to see which is cool lol. But middle would also be good cos then theyre all warmed up and the show would have a great energy to it (they all do..im just trying to think of a good enough reason :rolleyes:).

And its at the beginning of the concert at the beginning of one of the first songs near the beginning of the tour. A little early, yes? :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
