As of right now... Parachutes -- Favourite: Everything's Not Lost Least Favourite: High Speed A Rush Of Blood To The Head -- Favourite: Politik Least Favourite: A Whisper X&Y -- Favourite: What If Least Favourite: Twisted Logic (I really couldn't choose, so I based it on what I listen to the least) Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends -- Favourite: Death And All His Friends Least Favourite: Chinese Sleep Chant (I really couldn't choose, so I based it on what I listen to the least) Man, that was so hard. That literally took me half an hour to choose them all. I honestly love all of Coldplay's songs, and deciding between my favourite and least favourite songs off each album was no easy feat. Ahh, now I'm over analysing my choices. I hate this game! :P

So jealous! All the pictures and videos make it seem even more amazing than I've read. I'm curious about the limit on taking pictures of Chris at the piano too? HUH!?

I agree, they can't please everyone. And the more music COLDPLAY release, the harder it becomes to choose a fair variety of all the songs. I mean, ten years down the track, when we have 3,4,5 more COLDPLAY albums, it's going to be virtually impossible to choose all the greatest songs + the newest ones and fit it into a 1.5 - 2 hour concert. I think a setlist of 17+ is a fair effort. I mean, of course I'd love to stay there all night and be serenaded by Chris and the boys for the rest of my life, but performing is a really tiring thing. I'm extremely satisfied with the song choices and the overall length. And I think those that are all like; "...Oh, it's lame. Only 20. Half of them are short...", should either be appreciative or just: Shut. The. Hell. Up. Alright. That's said and done. I'm going to bed now. Nice chatting with the few of you still on the boards; Mimixxx, Zeya, yellowtalk, FlorianLey. Night all. :D

Zeya, yeah I most certainly think they'll be here before the end of next year. I'd say it might possibly be around the same time as the '06 tour (mid-year; June/ July). I don't want to even think about how long we have to wait for them though... :p

Hehe. Well, I certainly hope so. :D -- In reply to Mimixxx

LOL. Yeah, I'm hoping that this tour really gets all four of them really involved. So far we've had Will singing and Jonny owning the catwalk. What are we gonna get from Guy? ;)

I'm sure they will, yellowtalk. I'm assuming they'll hit all the cities they played at during the TWISTED LOGIC TOUR over here in Australia '06. I know Perth almost missed out last time, right?

Zeya, are you in Melbourne? :)

When Jonny started down that platform -- ah, I was speechless! Amazing moment.

Nice work, Mimixxx. I have them on the list compiled on Page 11. :)

THANK GOD! is all I can say. Here is a low quality clip of it from the first show of the VIVA LA VIDA TOUR; COLDPLAY @ The Forum in LA, 14.07.08 Death And All His Friends: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqgj6KOrdfs I won't be the first to say it, but I cannot wait to hear this for myself in concert. :D:D:D

FlorianLey, I'm disappointed about that too. I hope it pops up somewhere over the life of the tour; it most definitely deserves a play or two. I must say though, I am extremely relieved that 'Death And All His Friends' is on the setlist -- I could not leave a concert satisfied without it. :)

Mooseaka, where you at the concert? From what I've seen, from all the free gigs, the keyboard at the beginning of 'LIJ' is pre-recorded. Not too sure about 'Yes', although I have noticed that the intro to 'LiT' starts before they pick up their guitars, but I don't know if the string sections (strumming of the guitars etc.) starts before then too. Mimixxx, I know! The wait is going to be painful, especially with a 5 month or so wait for yourself. I'll be celebrating the day that COLDPLAY actually release Australian tour dates. I swear I'm going to every show in Melbourne. This just looks too good to miss! :D:D:D

No problem, MIMIXXX. The images on the back of the screen (for 'Lover's In Japan' I presume) are incredible. I love the fast night lights of Japan. And of course, the sound of the crowd singing. Just amazing!

I cannot wait until they come down to Australia. This seems like one of the greatest concerts ever, and with all the clips I've heard so far, Chris' voice has never sounded more amazing! ...and Thank God they played 'Death And All His Friends'! :D:D:D

Some videos up on YOUTUBE... Life In Technicolor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49j7vnW_Jd0 -- Good sound. Lover's In Japan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSIvKXbmSGQ -- Great quality. Yellow: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yOjNHD1jvo -- Good sound. Death And All His Friends: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqgj6KOrdfs -- Bad quality. Viva La Vida: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUzz7fOL2BI -- Good sound. Violet Hill: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rH93-Whim-w -- Good sound. Clocks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OzSqVlD8lE -- Good sound. In My Place: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqprxtgkV8A -- Great quality. End Of Show (The Escapist): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHSR-h4ToCA -- Great quality.

They have to play 'Death And All His Friends' -- I can't even begin to imagine the sound the audience would make whilst singing that song all together. It would be absolutely phenomenal. It gives me chills just thinking about it... Clearly. The. Best. Song. Off. The. Album.
