Guest howyousawtheworld Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 So, with Coldplay in the middle of a short promo tour of Ghost Stories, it's probably time to see what songs you think could do with 'a rest' from these or future tour dates? Politik was given the cop midway through the MX Tour much to the chagrin of many Coldplayers! You can't help but feel this tour would have been the perfect opportunity to roll out some classic gems. See You Soon, A Rush Of Blood To The Head, Square One or Sparks? My candidates for the chop are as follows: Personally, taking one look at their setlists of late I would be very keen to drop Viva La Vida. As much as I adore the song, it's getting a bit tired on stage and doesn't occupy the same timeless quality or rawness that Yellow or In My Place could consistently provide. Fix You is not a necessity either and it's good to see it got the chop last night in LA - as they proved at London 2012, you can put on a great performance without the need to bring out Fix You. Likewise Paradise....in fact I'd be more than happy if Charlie Brown was the only sole MX survivor as Fix You was for X&Y. So that's mine sorted - Viva La Vida, Paradise and Fix You. What's yours?

RevolutionDude Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I think Viva la Vida was too big of a hit to just chop. Besides, whether it's been overplayed or not, it's still a fantastic singalong song. Also, keep in mind that there's a huge amount of people who go to a Coldplay show who have never seen them live before. I wouldn't chop Fix You, either, since it's also a great anthem song. I'd probably chop Paradise (and, I agree, I wouldn't mind if Charlie Brown was the sole Mylo Xyloto song, at least for the time being) (Although, I could also see ETIAW being played in stadiums again) I think it's great that they played Yellow yesterday...and I am one of those people who would really hate to see Yellow go... That song IS Coldplay. Other than that, I can see several Ghost Stories songs not making it to the bigger tours (at least in a few years) But I suppose, due to the nature of GS, that's normal.

Arantza Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Fix You is personally my option number 1. It's a nice song but i'd prefer to listen to a lot of other songs before that one. Though, I'd image it would be hard for them to drop it since it's a favourite of so many people, and I think I've said this before but I know people who say they would go to their concert only to listen to Fix You :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely agree and it'd be selfish of the band to play only what they wanted but I can't help but feel they would get that fix from the likes of In My Place (the moment when thousands of people scream 'Yeeaaaaaaahhhhh' in that song kills me) or Yellow. When I went to see them for the first time back in 2008 my abiding memory to this day is still the euphoria of In My Place and Yellow and not, as I would have expected before the concert, Viva La Vida and Clocks.

reddevil07 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I doubt that they would ever drop Viva La Vida. It's their biggest hit to date. For me though, I think they should either drop Clocks or Fix You. Most of you here voted for Fix You too, and I agree with your reasons! Clocks on the other hand, as great as it sounds live, could be substituted with something like Politik, or maybe even Shiver :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A RUSH OF VIDA Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 They definitely need to atleast bring some older songs back!!! I hate that most of the songs they play( that arent from the album they are promoting) are just singles. Very few non singles. And im not saying i dont want to hear singles but i would love to hear: AROBTTH, Sparks, Spies, WE NEVER CHANGE, What if, Amsterdam, X & Y, just to name a few. ALSO PLEASE PLAY SOME FREAKING B SIDES!!!!!! :angry: :smug::D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldplayfan1294 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 A few songs I'd like to see played: Trouble Speed of Sound Talk What If Sparks Swallowed in the Sea Drop: Paradise (ugh) Viva La Vida ETIAW ...Yellow (don't kill me, I love Yellow).

MICHAELSD Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I don't get why "In My Place" and "Got Put a Smile..." keep popping up. They're some of the more ho-hum Coldplay tunes. "ETIAW" deserves a place near "ASFOS". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosesTheMarshmallow Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I think Paradise, Charlie Brown, and ETIAW should be rotated with each other personally. I think Fix You and VLV are are kind of live set necessities though I could also see them going. Clocks for Politik would be a good substitution. I'd also like to see UATW replace Oceans or Fly On every once in a while in future tours. I like how in the MX tour, they closed a lot of sets with Life is For Living...but I think it'd be good if they subbed that for Amsterdam or Swallowed in the Sea.

samerater Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Songs to go: Paradise Clocks (Maybe) ETIAW or Charlie Brown (We don't need both) Ideal setlist (maybe not in this exact order): Always In My Head Politik Yellow Magic (Just because they have to) Ghost Story Lovers In Japan Amsterdam Ink Midnight Viva La Vida God Put A Smile Upon Your Face O Encore: Life in Technicolor II A Sky Full Of Stars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam94 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I would love them to bring back see you soon... Id happily give all of MX the axe as well and think clocks/fix you could be rested or rotated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysBP Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I think a good game plan would be to play Ghost Stories in its entirety and include around 3-5 older songs. Having said that, I would love to hear the following songs come back... Politik A Rush Of Blood To The Head Daylight Square One Speed Of Sound Life In Technicolor ii Cemeteries Of London Lovers In Japan Strawberry Swing Major Minus A good set list would be... Always In My Head Magic Ink Clocks Another's Arms Lovers In Japan Midnight The Scientist True Love Charlie Brown Paradise ~ENCORE~ Oceans A Sky Full Of Stars O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
