I ran away Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Is there anywhere where I can get the full performance. Btw I agree with @prospekt46 and @I ran away I have never found the full performance either... This is the biggest part I could find: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 There is quite a lot of love for this army song. Sorry, but it's just all boyband to me. I'm actually seeing a couple of guys doing some kind of smooth slow RnB dance in a OMG video on this song. Can't see this song in any other way. LOL I can't understand love for Army of One either. Frequently I hear it supposedly "fitting into the X&Y Era", and I actually feel a bit offended by such comparisons. By the way @EasySuperstition99 - it's an audio only but "Live at T in the Park 2003" is also noteworthy: https://musicmp3.ru/artist_coldplay__album_live-at-t-in-the-park.html#.VwRz7XqHhIc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran away Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 By the way, I found this X&Y concert in FULL HD 1080p yesterday ! So far all I have seen from those times was 480p videos. Check this out (and @The Adversary should definitely if he didn't already do so - it is the one were Chris hugs Noel G. in the audience and jumps): 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prospekt46 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I think the request songs are kind of fun. Think about how many we'll get to hear over the tour, even if they sometimes seem kind of half-a**ed. My guess for tonight is Strawberry Swing.

prospekt46 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 By the way "Roadie" is a really nice little read. I'd love to see Matt write more as I really enjoyed his writing style, I'll probably re read it soon as it's been at least 6 years since I last read it.

Theyve been playing that song like always in every tour i believe. I thought this request thing is for the songs that they haven't been playing for a long time, or at least not any song that has been stuck in the setlist for ages. I love in my place, but this doesnt make any sense to me. They could play Amsterdam, Square one, Ghost story, X&Y, trouble, high speed and yes strawberry swing... sigh!... I know the fans choose, but if a song like this is the most requested one, they should go with the next song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus they haven't been to South America for like 10 years so I think those people are happy either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are picking one out of many different requests, so they are denying a lot of requests every day...The second thing (not having been there for 7 years) is hardly an excuse for anything... That said, the stadium singing along to In My Place so loudly clearly tells them where this song belongs: in the main setlist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arushofjacktothehead Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 In My Place, Speed Of Sound, even Trouble ALL belong on the main setlist, take out Everglow, Army Of One and ASFOS all the time to play these:) EDIT: Wat. Where is Violet Hill nowadays or GPASUYF 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is Violet Hill nowadays or GPASUYF Agree! Where on earth is the rock song. God put a smile is one of their highlights and brings variation/edge. Omg trouble, how I would love to hear that one live.. And dont forget the scientist. They didnt play it at the first show. They should never throw that one out. There is 1 'newplay' song or whatever you want to call it that I thought would be in the setlist and thats hurt like heaven. It's one of their most uplifting and good live tracks with great vibe/energy, jonny's guitar playing + good live singing. It was a great opener on the mx tour and now this song would perfectly represent a energetic/uplifting show. They should play this track instead of every teardrop. This setlist needs some changes. I watched birds live.. I like that song, but live it doesnt really work, the singing is just like army of one, not so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I ran away Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 Yes, I agree. Chris's vocals in general are no longer outstanding as they used to be in earlier times, but pretty generic. It is almost as if he got a bit 'lazy' singing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JM-42 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Not really into Newplaying bashing mode but I'll just say the low points of yesterday's concert, in my opinion, were both Army of One and Everglow. And I think it's ok they gave In My Place a rest at last. There's still three obvious songs that haven't appeared in the request section: Trouble, GPASUYF and Violet Hill. After that, let's see if they start rotating them or go for more "obscure" tunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc90 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Agreed on Army of One. Doesn't work well live, especially at that point in the show when Chris is clearly gassed. Well, theyve only had a few shows to play all those requests. No doubt in my mind they'll eventually get there. Especially Violet Hill, after I rediscovered this video the other day Hngggg, look at jonny GO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Adversary Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Well, theyve only had a few shows to play all those requests Part of the problem is they only do one request. Get rid of the two covers and add two more requests, you'd have a considerably stronger set after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the Chuck Berry concert is just a one off deal, since it was dedicated to Moses. He must be a Back to the Future fan just like his dad. Don't Panic was in the actual printed setlist in that slot, which would have been better in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many great riffs, hooks, and even tiny little fills like on Everything's Not Lost. I think it's clearer now more than ever, pre-MX everyone was doing amazing things on each track.

Hey Johnny B. Goode is a great song, and I think they could do an ok cover, but I've yet to see the video evidence so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Adversary Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Stargate look like stereotypical supervillians. I mean just look at them: You can just sense their invidious evil-doing. In the background pulling strings, ruining everything they touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
