Corkus Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I sincerely hope that the decision to stop playing Speed of Sound had nothing to do with the Clocks comparisons or the fact that Chris sometimes mocks X&Y. I got to see it in 2008, and it was one of the bigger sing-alongs of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMissMessy Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I just miss it massively!! :bigcry: Speed Of Sound, that is .... SOS is MY SONG!! :heart: The song which started everything of in a bigger way ... :) And personally I think SOS would have fit much better to the visuals they had for Glass Of Water ... :( Besides SOS I would kill hearing White Shadows live as I wasn't that lucky to catch them during their Twisted Logic tour ... :( So I missed out on that and many other great tracks .... :bigcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonsu Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I was at the last gig of the x&y tour, and they seemed to have got pretty sloppy and blase about Fix You. I said at the time I hoped they'd never play it again, but this tour (thanks to Eno I think) they seem to have got a lot of their passion for the old songs back (and passion in general), and I've enjoyed Fix You tremendously at each and every one of the six shows I saw this tour, it was a real highlight. Now Speed of Sound, I loved hearing live after I finally got into this song on the first UK leg proper of the tour, it was magical. But it is too similar to Clocks (which unfortunately they'll never drop - I'm so sick of that song). White Shadows was incredible live, Square One was just about the perfect intro to any gig imaginable, and GPaSUYF (proper version) was always one of their most impressive numbers live...sigh... Still, at least this tour I've heard Trouble and the wonderful Green Eyes a number of times, Square One and GPaSUYF (proper) once....and my beloved The Hardest Part almost every time, so I suppose I shouldn't complain too much. But it's hard not to when they padded the set out with a long version of Billie Jean at the last three gigs I went to...and two versions of LiT, with The Escapist as an outro also? I know they want a theme for the whole night, but... Moan moan grumble grumble. Surprised someone hasn't already come in and said 'don't like it? Don't go to the gigs' but it's only a matter of time. Warning Sign I will never hear live again, I know that now, it's finally sunk in after this tour :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keddie Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I am not sick of Clock per say, but I do wish they would switch it out sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViVA Child Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I couldnt imagine a coldplay concert without Fix You just because the song means something so very very personal to me hearing them sing it right in front of me ...considering where i was when i first heard it........ it just illustrates how increadible and miraculous it is when events and decisions change your life. its mindblowing ...for me at least I would love to hear Speed of Sound though maybe instead of Clocks since theyre so similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViVA Child Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 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: well see thats why im going to do that in Bogota on March 4th only instead of a lightbulb it will be a glowstick... but yeah im going to pass out glowsticks in the pit and see if i can get some people to swing them around during fix you at the same part chris did with the lightbulb during Twisted Logic Tour it'd be awsome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chlllll Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 the only song i REALLYREALLYREALLY hoped i could hear it live, was green eyes, guess what?:heart: the night when i got to their concert they switched trouble into greeneyes in their setlist, most beautiful song of the whole concert :heart: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Mmmmh I must admit I was not impressed by how Speed of Sound sounded live on this tour, it was less powerful than on cd, so I really didn't miss it on last year's concerts. Other than that I consider myself lucky cause even tough I saw them live in 2005 for the first time, I got to hear Shiver in one of the very few gigs they played it, so that's one song less on my list of Coldplay songs I need to hear live :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arantza Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Somehow I'd love to hear Speed Of Sound live, I wouldn't have a single problem if they changed it for Lost! :P And I would be the happiest person on earth if they played Amsterdam :wacky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macintosh Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 they will certainly play Lost! And SOS I think they could change by places with Glass Of Water sometimes. or play it in acoustic set. Anyway would be great if they at least return it to setlist :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcolm-Edge Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I saw Speed of Sound on leg one and it wasn't as great as Clocks. They are far to similar and Clocks is the better of the two. On the Fix You note, lyrics hit close to home. I get how it means so much to so many. The last two times I saw them I did not like it as much. I think the open air, 90,000 singing made it hard to top. I understand how its hard for the boys to play a different set night in and out. I would like to see some slots where there is a choice and they can change say 5-7 songs for cities close to each other or night one and night two. Like Death Will Never Conquer or Till Kingdom Come. Politik or Square One (what I Would give to hear them back to back) In My Place or Talk Death and All His Friends or Fix You Scientist or Trouble Yellow needs to go. They need it to sit out for awhile and one day they will have passion for it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macintosh Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 SoS was underwhelming suck when it was played. Maybe because they played SoS at C-stage in Australian leg of the tour? and it was acoustic version... I understand how its hard for the boys to play a different set night in and out.

Tnspieler1012 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 It felt sort of a like a filler song at the concert I went to, I don't think anybody was terribly excited about it compared to other songs so I'm glad it was replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arantza Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 they will certainly play Lost! : I know, it's just that I don't really like it... unless they change it for Lost?. But I know they won't :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-Stage doesn't really matter, the acoustic just kinda sucked. If they played that everywhere else, belch. I don't know whose idea that was but it was a bad one.

wesley Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 coldplay live at bolton hiya, myself and 2 of my mates were lucky enough to see coldplay permorm live at bolton reebok stadium . we were in the fix you video they did live. the show was just out of this world and they were even better later on at the men arena later on in the same year. :)wesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macintosh Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 OH and I would love to hear Daylight. :) Daylight is the good song as for conception of VIVA tour, such a nice vital hymn, not better that Strawberry Swing. So its strange that they forgot about this song... Its so sad they dont play it, i would LOVE i they play it live on the latín tour!! I think that latin tour setlist will be generally the same that was in 2009:\ So do I. Chris always puts down X & Y but I love most of the songs on it. Very cruely that Coldplay play only Fix You from X&Y now. Those weird versions of Talk and Hardest Part I can't count as real X&Y sound. I would love to hear Speed of Sound though maybe instead of Clocks since theyre so similar Similar in what? Mmmmh I must admit I was not impressed by how Speed of Sound sounded live on this tour, it was less powerful than on cd, so I really didn't miss it on last year's concerts. :thinking: the only song that was less powerful than on cd is Chinese Sleep Chant for me. So I think Chris's voice on CD in this song is not natural:P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iduran20 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 I'm glad I got to hear Speed of Sound in my first concert. It was so amazing and I really missed hearing it at my second concert, but at least I got Green Eyes the second time around. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
