Well, they are admittedly stuffing almost all of VLV onto their setlist, and even if it's the VLV Tour, they need it varied. Not that I wouldn't love to hear "Yes" or anything, but it's not a song I'd swap some of the other songs for.

it's super sexy. :wacky:

maybe they think it's "too sexy"? :thinking:

Isn't that what Chris said about Lhuna? "Too sexy" to put on the album or something.

Yeah, I noticed at last year's show in Houston, the only songs they DIDN'T play from VLVODAAHF was 'Yes' and 'Reign of Love'. Now they've also cut 'Chinese Sleep Chant'. I also find it weird they have cut 'Speed of Sound' completely from the set - that's one of their more familiar hits! Oh well, at least they change it up a bit...

Well... it's not really a "live"-song is it. I mean, it's good, but the whole sound is very studio, very much production. And also, I don't think that the averege Coldplay concert-goer likes this song very much. The least accessible song on the album if you ask me. Or maybe they just don't like it very much.

They tried it out before the tour started and decided to leave it off setlist as it wasn't the easiest song to translate to the live shows. They performed it a couple of times but as it wasn't 'easy', it was dropped again. Shame as it's my favourite!!

& why did they drop Chinese Sleep Chant?! :sad:

Cuz it sounded EPIC when they played it live, & it was my favourite.

Maybe we should ask the Oracle :idea2:

Right above you. :P

:lol:

 

@Kyle- so they DID play it for the first leg of the tour? :thinking: but...why not continue? it's such a great song, and, honestly, it's one of my favorites! :wacky:

 

we COULD ask the oracle...:\ :P :rolleyes: :dozey: :D!!

The better question is why they stopped playing CSC, which sounds brilliant live.

 

Now that I think about it, maybe they dropped CSC because there were too many instrumental tracks in the show? LiT, 42, CSC, Death and All His friends are all more instrumental? Or maybe they realised they were pretty much playing the whole album other than 'Yes' and 'Reign of Love', so it's more variety?

My favorite too. I count myself lucky to have heard them do it at their first Boston Garden gig. It had already been dropped from the set list by the time I saw them do their return show there.

YES!

 

It sounded amazing live.

It was rather hard for Chris to sing though, maybe that was why.

Or maybe it was just because they felt not many people liked it :\
