Why did Coldplay left off to play Speed Of Sound live?

Featured Replies

I consider it was unfair decision. Speed Of Sound is the most successful single from X&Y and just incredible song. But they actually left off to play it live in the end of 2008 :(

Do you miss it?

I do miss it. And I would give up Fix You to hear it. But personally I would rather hear Swallowed In The Sea, White Shadows, Low, or A Message live. Any of those can replace Fix You at any time. I don't want Fix You to become like Yellow, a song they ALWAYS play. Sometimes they should mix it up.

YES! SWALLOWED IN THE SEA!!! :heart:

 

I get what you're saying about fix you, but I'd never ever want to give that song up!!! Hearing it live is like religious experience :heart:

i agree and disagree

i love fix you so i would be disappointed if they didn't play it live but i would also love and maybe prefer to hear square one or swallowed in the sea. personally im not a huge fan of speed of sound, like its fine but i think its my least fav song on x & y to be honest.

 

i wish i had gone to an X& Y era concert so badly! :'(

I think I'd honestly rather hear Square One :heart:

 

I was looking for Square One as well :D

YES! SWALLOWED IN THE SEA!!! :heart:

Oh I know what you mean. Fix You was such an emotioanl song for me at the concerts.

 

Okay I am starting to understand why it might be hard for Coldplay to make their set lists:uhoh:

Anyway Speed of Sound had probably the most amazing visual effects during it in the beginning of viva la vida tour :rolleyes: Thanks God, I heard it in Budapest! maybe it was one of the last times they played it:cry:

I've seen speed of sound too :D

But I actually didn't like the song as much as I like it now so I didn't appreciate it as much as I would have now. :(

But I'd still rather see Square One!!!! Especially with the clock! :bomb:

Oh, the clock is in history!:(

I wish I came back to X&Y era to hear Swallowed inthe Sea, White Shadows, Speed of Sound, Clocks with coloured blocks on the screen and of course to see Chris's tricks with lamp during Fix You! :rolleyes2: but then I was just a poor student :shrug:

I KNOW! I'D DIE TO SEE THE LIGHT WITH FIX YOU!!!!!!!!!! :dead:

 

But I was too young to go to a concert then :(

 

My brother went to one though, and at the time they didn't know which song to use the light for, so it wasn't fix you when he saw it :\

I would love to hear Amsterdam live! I have yet to hear that one... and I would love to hear Warning Sign again live. I only heard it once.. and it was beautiful in such an intimate setting in which I experienced it.. :blush: OH and I would love to hear Daylight. :)

I would love to hear Shiver live. :heart:

 

THIS!!!

 

but really wouldn't we all like to hear EVERY song live? lol

  • Author

Guy told in Exeter that he don't like to play Shiver anymore...:whip:

I hope that is not the same reason why they don't play SpeedofSound :uhoh:
