June 16, 200818 yr http://www.nme.com/news/coldplay/37413 Coldplay made their live return tonight (June 16) playing tracks from new album ’Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends’ at London’s Brixton Academy. The show, which was broadcast live on Radio 1, is the first of three free shows the band are playing following their fourth album's release last week (June 12), with gigs set to take place in Barcelona on June 17 and New York on June 23. Taking to the stage at 8.45pm (BST) the band kicked off with the new album's instrumental opener 'Life In Technicolor', before launching to former NME covermount track, single 'Violet Hill'. Without pausing to talk the band, wearing the French revolutionary-inspired jackets they wore on NME's recent cover, then dipped into their back catalogue playing the likes of 'Clocks' and 'In My Place'. Finally before 'Viva La Vida' frontman Chris Martin addressed the crowd as tymphany drums were being set up. "We were in Germany the other day and an interviewer said to us 'what does an English person do when they've won the World Cup and the European Championships? Turn off their Playstation'," recounted the singer. "We said that's true but we've written this song which you sing when you know you're going to lose, or maybe 'We Are The Champions', to get yourself through." Ahead of fellow new track 'Chinese Sleep Chant' the singer joked about the fact the band's live return had been a free ticket give away. "I know there have been complaints about the ticket price," he dead panned. "What can I say we're money grabbing whores!" A trumpet-free version of 'God Put A Smile Upon Your Face' followed with Martin suggesting the intro sounded like Radiohead's '2+2=5'. "Sorry you shouldn't talk about plagiarism when you're live on Radio 1," he joked. "Ignore that!" Later on Martin paused 'Trouble' mid-song to ponder his future. "Wasn't that a seamless crossover?" he asked the crowd of the switch between songs. "In years to come when the band split up and I'm doing a piano turn on a cross channel ferry you can say to me 'Chris I remember when you used to be a pop star, you used to do great crossovers between songs' and I'll say thank you! What a ferry journey that will be!" Wrapping up their set with 'Strawberry Swing', Martin declared, "You're the most intelligent crowd in the world, thank you, see you in 35 seconds!" Coldplay duly returned for their encore performing from the venue's balcony, playing an acoustic version of 'Yellow'. Next Martin declared: "We're going to do something super extra double special which I've been looking forward to, please welcome to sing lead vocals our drummer Will Champion. After the sticksman fronted an acoustic version of The Pogues' 'If I Should Fall From Grace With God', the band returned to Brixton's stage to play 'Fix You'. They then wrapped up the show firing red, white and blue confetti into the crowd during 'Lovers In Japan'. Coldplay played: 'Life In Technicolor' 'Violet Hill' 'Clocks' 'In My Place' 'Viva La Vida' 'Chinese Sleep Chant' 'God Put A Smile Upon Your Face' '42' 'Square One' 'Trouble' 'Lost!' 'Strawberry Swing' 'Yellow' 'If I Should Fall From Grace With God' 'Fix You' 'Lovers In Japan'
June 16, 200818 yr I liked the setlist actually. Wish they'd played shiver...but hoping they're saving that for the tour! And DAAHF is my fav song off the album...I really thought they'd finish on that. It'd be such a good ending!
June 16, 200818 yr oh man that was AMAZING! if I had been there I would've had a heart attack for sure!! and I can't believe Will sang! his voice is so great and so different!!
