What's your favorite song (released or unreleased) that was soundchecked/performed live?

 

For me it'd be either A Whisper (WAIT! Don't hate on me just yet), DLIBYH, or Daylight.

 

A Whisper has only been performed twice since being released, once in 2002 in Seattle and the other in 2014 at the Royal Albert Hall (I think). I personally despise the song, seems a bit too repetitive and would've done better as a b-side, but it sounds pretty good live, especially Jonny's guitar. Here's two videos of it, the first being the 2014 performance and the other being a soundcheck from 2002. [video=youtube;ofzKiWaKRQ8]

DLIBYH's guitar and bass is amazing live, nuff said.

 

Need I say more about Daylight?

of course Spies and A rush of blood to the head

My favourite are:

Warning Sign (live@ Torino, Italy, 24/05/2012)

Strawberry Swing (Closing Ceremony of London 2012 Paralympics Games)

God Put A Smile Upon Your Face (Rock Am Ring 2011)

Fix You (@Paris 2012)

Viva la vida, the scientist and in my place

the whole Glastonbury 2005 show was amazing, not least because they played lots of X&Y songs they would rarely or never play again

I forgot that amazing performance at Live8 with Richard Ashcroft...

Great Thread! got to get my list together

The live version of Violet Hill is extremely raw and visceral. Love it.

On a side note, I also can't wait to hear Ghost Story performed live.

Though I don't see that happening, it would be amazing [emoji6]

The Glastonbury 2011 is one of the best. Especially yellow and violet hill, shiver

Midnight is pretty cool live I thought.

 

Out of curiosity, what songs from ghost stories do you reckon will stay in the set list for future tours??

I'd say magic anyway..

Well after years of waiting I got to hear my favorite song "Warning Sign" with Miss Angie in New Jersey, so I am complete. However, I would love to hear "One I love" and of course "Ghost Story"

Ghost Story would be AMAZING! But wasn't One I Love performed in 2003?
