I was searching for some info on James playing with Squeeze and came across this which was more exciting (well actually ive always wanted to see James), but these pics are awesome :)

Chris Martin looks pretty excited up there (and in here), and who can blame him? He played a to a packed Garden on Monday, and now he's got the #1 album in the U.S. (and a few other countries as well.)

These pictures are pretty awesome. But dont u think that their shows could be a little longer. I only counted 16 songs and I feel they could play way more than that. I have seen them twice and the band has never played more than an hour and a half.

I just read an article (to add perspective) and Yaz opened their tour in the bay area playing an 80 min set and 20 songs. Then again Yaz only ever released 2 albums. 90mins isnt that bad for a set, but yeah it'd be nice if they could play longer.

 

Perhaps I could have my wish as I did with the Dandy Warhols when they had 'an evening with the dandy warhols' and played for 3 hours. no openers just them. all i can say it was f'ing incredible. And they did this right after they released their 4th album if i recall correctly (probably were trying to piss off capitol records also) :)

 

one can only dream!

band has never leaned that direction unfortuantely. I think we will be wanting a longer setlist up til the band's retirement. Maybe on album 6 we'll get a second encore.
