i wish we had more cute early demos like Spiderwebs :)

 

and after that was the rock version of Trouble from Live 2003 Tour Diary

Been very busy since the Fall Of Man !

dear Chris: "talk a little louder, i don't understand" :P

do you guys have a favorite out of the Viva demos?

Bloodless Revolution (the first part with needle/thread) and the melody of First Steps.

Bucket for a crown is such a cool song with a bittersweet gypsy-style vibe. Wish they had recorded this properly !

....listening to a session by Noel Gallagher.... :P

the needle/thread line is so great

i think my favorite might be Goodbye and Goodnight

I heard this recording (Bucket for a crown) was made by a Coldplaying member called Nettie who passed away some years ago. RIP and thank you for saving this gorgeous recording for the world.

i could never understand what he said there and why it was apparently funny until one day i decided to look up lyrics.

i guess a lot of people have much better hearing than i do :P

BUT I'M STILL GONNA LOVE YOU WHEN I DIEEEEE

that was the Dubliners and now Idiot from the AROBTTH Tour

 

which contains the great line "like an idiot, I ran around like a chicken with its head cut off" :p

 

and Jonny singing some solo lines !

the interesting thing about the unreleased songs they played a lot live is that there are usually a couple of decent recordings, so the versions that other people listen to are not always the same ones that i listen to

Yeah, that's true....

Too bad they don't do this anymore nowadays.

i wonder what happened to @guy42

Have we lost @guy42 ?

Man Who Swears <3 probably my second favorite of the Viva demos

The man who swears...and Chris actually swears in this song :)

ahahahahaha when Chris forgets his stuff

The man who swears...and Chris actually swears in this song :)

 

very meta :p

this melody at the end is similar to the melody in First Steps which is similar to Pink Floyd's time ahem....

another meta one... because it is So Sad that we don't have a full version of that song :sob:
