What would you vote if Coldplay did a "request show"?
If I had the chance to see How You See The World 2 I'd do whatever was in my power to make it happen. My other request show (in addition to like the 3 I've already listed here so far :joy:) would be Viva La Vida or Death... + Prospekt's March. Just a full album + EP setlist.

This is an exact alternate choice list to what I chose a few posts up.

Sidenote before my actual reply: I am SO BEYOND WORDS envious that you got to their By Request gig! Muse were my first band that I really connected with and properly got me into seeing live concerts, I have however since T2L fallen out of love, but I saw the Shepherd's Bush even at planning stages when it was just a petition in the Muser communities, and they played a set that breathed new life into me. Don't get me wrong, I do love their live spectacle, but (and this is absolutely in my opinion only) unlike Coldplay, they seem to truly just go through the motions now. Their setlist have gotten SO SHORT, with 3-4 'jams' counting as songs totalling up to like, a 16 track setlist compared to the 20 they used to do only in 2010. Not to mention Matt literally NOT being on stage during 'Some New Kind of Kick' and just not even holding a guitar during 'Starlight'. I truly feel like Coldplay give 110% every night and mean it. Like I watched the Samsung VR show and I had some friends who aren't really fans who had seen it and were blown away but then were like 'oh well it's being taped so they've got to up the ante' ... but that show was on the same level as the huge Paris shows I saw, same level as Cardiff, and even same level as Brisbane and Melbourne. The main difference is probably the fact that Chicago's VR show got double Xylobands. Anyway, sorry, rant over! I'm just still really passionate about Muse because the SBE Request Gig proved they DO still have it in them. ANYWAY! The list! In no particular order: Up With The Birds Ghost Story Sparks Moving To Mars Glass of Water How You See The World No. 2 Don't Let It Break Your Heart Life In Technicolour II Yes Crests of Waves Death and All His Friends I just realised that's 11 but I honest to God cannot remove 1. I also would add Earth Angel on there because BTTF is my favourite movie as well and Earth Angel is the earliest song I can remember absolutely loving from my childhood. I just about lost my mind when the official account didn't upload it along with Johnny B. Goode when Michael J. Fox performed it in New Jersey last year.

I would buy every possible version they released if this were real. Digital, CD, Vinyl, Limited Edition Vinyl, Target Exclusive, iTunes Exclusive... eVERYTHING :joy:

^ At the very least they could record a studio version of Don Quixote. And yes, I know a lot of it was salvaged for Don't Let It Break Your Heart but god I love Don Quixote :joy: and without the ole ole ole chant. IS THAT SO MUCH TO ASK haha

I absolutely love the visuals of Live 2014, and didn't find the crowd overpowering on it (COUGH SJLT from KEP COUGH). But I could be biased because it is one of my favourite albums. I love the cohesion of it as a full album, and seeing it performed as such was faaaaaaantastic for me! Anyway count me as extra excited for this new one! Interested to see what they keep in with so many legs. I know that GPAS has replaced Birds in the second legs, but I hope both recordings make it. Birds is so fun live, and the new GPAS with the bit of audience interaction is nice. The Silver Bird version of UATW is absolutely stunning, completely agreed. I wish I'd got to hear Army of One live, that one ended up as a rarity. And again I hope they do the same thing by just taking some best performances from all over, even though I know they made a point to mention they did record the 3 nights in Paris. (Selfishly because I was only at the front for the second night of Paris and the other shows I was front for were Cardiff and Melbourne... and I just want to spot myself for a millisecond haha) ^ And YES! I just ADORE Postcards From Far Away so hearing it live and tacked on at the end of THP... so beautiful. I completely agree about the occasional unreleased studio song. Can't they just release a 4 disc set? :joy:

Chris's American Indian Sweater
It does seem to be discontinued, I tried looking for it a while back too after I found his black and grey Bat sweatshirt. They do still have his Lightning Bolt one that he's worn a bit.

How do you get setlists?
I got my setlist from venue security in Cardiff. I wrote it in massive letters in the Snapchat app and just showed it to him since he couldn't hear me at all through the show. Gave it to me at the end when the lights went up. In Paris a Coldplay crew roadie literally slammed it into my hands when I didn't even ask. They wear black shirts or hoods with the Flower of Life on it.

I got the setlist on Paris night 2 and as soon as I got it my eyes saw Miracles listed for B stage... so they definitely planned it at some point, just never went ahead. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Last night was my final night and Mike the cameraman really made it worth it for me, saw myself on the screens a handful of times! Hope I can make the live release hahaha I also got a setlist and Chris' pick! I'm at the airport now during a layover and can't really process last night. It was my 7th show of this tour and while Australian shows are generally great, the European crowds are a whole other level of energetic. I'm so glad I got to experience them both nights in Cardiff and the first two of Stade. The energy is something special. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How do you get setlists?
Amazingly I got a setlist from Cardiff and last night at Stade! I asked for the one in Cardiff and the security guard was amazing about it, he recognized me the night after too haha And at Stade I didn't even ask, crew just walked straight up and shoved it in my hand.

That was easily the best one I'd been to so far. I fly home to Australia in about 7 hours and I couldn't think of a better way to have ended this trip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm guessing Video Transmission or something along the lines for the request video to be played? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Something Just Like This (Tokyo Remix)
I love this but I just hope the crowd is turned down at least a little bit on the release. EDIT: Nevermind I bought it on iTunes and it's pretty much the same, damn :joy:

I've always been curious about plectrums? Are Coldplay the type to throw them into the audience? I've so far gotten one from Matt Bellamy and Alex Turner so this would round out my fave collection [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Kaleidoscope EP
YES. This thread just got 1000% better with a Colbert gif I'm hoping the SJLT Tokyo is not a live version, and an actually re-recorded version. And wondering what the EP mix is for Hypnotised because that song is just a touch underwhelming for me.

Kaleidoscope EP
HOLY FUCK. COLDPLAY AND BIG SEAN. This is my dream... and probably a lot of people's nightmares but I am excited. And AICTAIY IS A BANGER. Okay. I'm on the Hype Train ™
