Hello All,

 

I was wondering what everyone thought the setlist/stage/show might consist of for the upcoming outdoor USA tour.

 

Do you think it will be exactly the same as the 2008 tour? It is still technically the VIVA LA VIDA tour. I REALLY hope they change the setlist and the show up. They have almost 2 months off before starting on march 15th, so hopefully they have some tricks up thier sleeves...

 

what does everyone think?

I hope they get rid of the GPASUYF and Talk remix. I mean it was cool and all but, I'd rather see the original performances. Theyre so much better than the remix.

 

 

But yeah, I'm not sure. Thats a good question, I was wondering the same thing. There are a lot of concerts this time around that are outside so I'm not sure how they would be able to do the confetti for Lovers In Japan, maybe they'll mix some things up..

I really want to see the original talk played.

Me too bring back the old school versions of Talk and GPASUYF.

i saw them in novemeber in atlanta and will be back in may. if they play the same setlist i might swear off seeing them again. i mean, mix it up! i saw they played 4 nights in syndney and didn't change anything. how fun is that for the fans that see you all nights? do something different! especially with 8 months in between. it's no fun to know what they are going to play before they even do it.

Only some fans of the band are going more then once.. You have to remember that!

And another thing, they have to adjust the lights, the screens and all that kind of stuff.. They can't just change it all the time.

 

Can't wait till the concerts :D

Most likely they'll play (Not a specific order, but grouped by album):

Yellow

Shiver

Talk

Politik

In My Place

GPASUYF (non-remix)

The Scientist

Clocks

Square One

Fix You (maybe)

Viva La Vida

Life in Technicolor ii

Lost!

42

Yes

Lovers in Japan

Violet Hill

Death and All his Friends

Strawberry Swing

Glass of Water (maybe)

Rainy Day (maybe)

Prospekt's March (maybe no)

Most likely they'll play:

Yellow

Talk

In My Place

GPASUYF (non-remix)

Viva La Vida

Life in Technicolor ii

Lost!

42

Yes

Lovers in Japan

Violet Hill

Death and All his Friends

Strawberry Swing

Glass of Water (maybe)

Rainy Day (maybe)

Prospekt's March (maybe no)

 

that's very different from my last show, yeah! fix you better be played. i only wish more x&y would be played, white shadows or swallowed in the sea...

Honestly, it's still too far off to predict, and we can probably predict a few changes within the tour leg itself, but they'll probably keep a lot of the same stuff. I do agree that I'd like the techno mixes ditched. Granted, they'd have to come up with something else cool for the B-stage. :\

 

And with all due respect, I seriously hope Speed of Sound is moved back to the standard part of the show. Green Eyes works great on the acoustic set, but I feel Speed of Sound is meant to be played in its original sexy form. Even if it means dumping something like Cemeteries (which I feel is a great song, but unremarkable live).

Most likely they'll play:

Yellow

Shiver

Talk

Politik

In My Place

GPASUYF (non-remix)

Prospekt's March (maybe no)

 

In that specific order? :thinking:

 

Hooray for Shiver, Glass of Water, and the non-remixes of Talk and GPASUYF! :D

awww i loved the remixes of talk and GPASUYF! but i also adore the original Talk...its just epic......but i think it was cool that they were keeping things fresh and mixing things up a bit for the Viva tour.....:D:D:D

I said no specific order but those songs i'm guessing that'll might be in the set list. because some of these songs are obvious.

Well so far on the Tour they haven't been playing much X&Y but Talk has become more frequent.

Well this IS my BEST prediction, I doubt any lesser songs being played, but i hope that they play Speed of Sound in the US. We've not heard it in concert for about 3 years NOW!! :angry::angry:

Sometimes remixes are a drag. But Epic songs are Epic.

Death Will Never Conquer (Acoustic, sung by Will)

Viva La Vida (remix interlude)

Politik

Lovers In Japan

Death And All His Friends

 

The Scientist

Life In Technicolor ii

The Escapist (Outro)

 

 

This set list they've been playing recently A LOT looks like it might be incorporated into the US Tour. Some things might be taken out and replaced. We'll have to wait and see.

They're definitely gonna play stuff from prospekt's march! :D

I really really wanna see glass of water!!:dance:

 

I HOPE THEY DO THE CONFETTI AND THE ACOUSTIC BIT STILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well it seems they DO have a definitive set list.

 

I mean, WHY change the set list when we want to see what others have been seeing?

am i the only one here who REALLY likes the remix of gpasuyf?

 

i LOVE the drumbeat at the chorus, it's awesome!! :D

I thought it was great! I love the original too, but this was cool and a nice mix up

me too!!

I mean I love the Remix too, but you can watch them perform those songs remix style 4 days in a row, and I don't think that much can change, I mean what can change?

 

If they played Talk the original way, chris will dance and do different dances, add some lyrics and shout certain things. More exciting, not to mention the amazing lights and solo...

 

 

We'll have to see once we get our tickets. When I got my tickets in October they said "VIVA LA VIDA TOUR" on them... But I think if they didn't do the remixes its still possible it would be called the Viva la Vida tour?

 

Blah blah blah blah. Ok i'm done guys.

it would be great if they mixed it up a bit, of course would love to hear amsterdam, see you soon, warning sign, moses, one i love, shiver, but i know they stick to the plan and takes alot to change the props, lighting, etc. etc

but i will love whatever they play , we are truly lucky to get to see them.

^IF THEY'D PLAY ANY OF THOSE SONGS I THINK I'D DIE OF PURE HAPPINESS!!!!!!

But it looks like none of those songs they're playing :\

If they played See You Soon I would just melt right there where I was standing. :wacky:
