Not to be a downer, but Clocks?? really? Don't we have enough Clocks live?

Wow this is a great version of Fix You, by the way.

Does anyone know what cities these songs are from?

Was the Sydney show the first time they've done that? Is there a recording?

just saw it got posted tonight...idk if this has been posted on here yet or not. but 2.50 for the song and video.

I want the band Coldplay to tell me how the Prospekt's March songs fit into VLV

we could get an official viva la vida prospekt's march playlist from Coldplay themselves.

Surprise me too :)

It is not.

Okay, the mom's story is pretty cool... He just inspired someone to do something more with something he loves.

OH my gosh...Pablo is sound asleep right now WITH the drumsticks that he gave him....They had a little conversation and Pablo is over the moon. All these people were high fivin' him as we were leaving and we didn't know it but Pablo was on the big screen during the whole conversation! He's SO HAPPY, and that was so cool that Chris Martin did that. SO COOL. He asked him how old he is and told him that it's really cool that he came to the concert and that he's really happy that a 7 year old kid likes his band!!!! My little guy told me as we were leaving..."Mom, Chris Martin knows I'm a person"....."yep", I said.."he sure does". The drummer then gave his drumsticks to the roadie guy who came over and gave them to Pablo....and a few minutes later he brought over Chris Martin's playlist from his piano! Oh my god...I just can't believe it...for pablo, I can't believe that this happened for him. He's a music head. His sister is an academic and he's a music head. I decided to take him to this concert because I want to support his "thing", and inspire him...and inspired he is. He told me that he's going to sleep with the drumsticks every night...so that "I get Chris Martins germs"...hahahaha! my darling boy. Did anybody go? Did any of you guys see him???"

http://backtorockville.typepad.com/back_to_rockville/2008/11/review-coldplay.html The biggest post-1990s band from Britain that doesn't give away its music came to Sprint Center on Thursday. And a large crowd was on hand with a loud, long and warm greeting. And though it may not know its U.S. geography ("Thank you, Kansas"), Coldplay knows its own history: That's the first time we've played this in the U.S., said lead singer Chris Martin after singing "Glass of Water." That one will have its place of prominence in Coldplay trivia and lore; Thursday night, it was the rare lukewarm moment during a show loaded with bright highlights. (Nobody knew the song.) The rest of the setlist visited more familiar material from each of the band's four full-length albums, none more frequently than the latest, "Viva La Vida ..." This was the rare show when the crowd welcomed a lot of the more recent songs as warmly as the older ones. The title track to the new album got one of the loudest reactions of the night. Martin played his usual affable, humble self. He apologized for postponing the show back in July. He stopped the show to say hello to a 7-year-old boy in the crowd (and crack wise about the Jonas Brothers; read the mom's blogpost here). And he chastised himself after he muffed the start to "Green Eyes." The sound in the Sprint Center was OK to good: At times there wasn't enough bottom -- the bass and kick drums disappeared in the mix. But the volume felt right and the vocals sounded good most of the night. The light show was nice, too; so was the confetti that rained on the floor during the start of the encore (it looked like falling leaves). Speaking of vocals, there were plenty of big sing-alongs, starting with "In My Place" and especially during "Fix You," when the band stepped back and let the crowd take over the final chorus. Other highlights: The techno-mashup of "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face" and "Talk"; "Politik," which sounded more invigorated than usual; and the short acoustic set that took place high in a lower-level section towards the back of the arena. (Although I could have done without the Billy Ray Cyrus bit in the middle of "The Scientist.") They ended the 95-minute show with their biggest hit, "Yellow," which prompted the evening's loudest and longest response and sing-along. For a moment, Martin stopped to enjoy the enormous chorale singing back at him. It was that kind of a show: The crowd and the band spent all night entertaining each other. | Timothy Finn, The Star Setlist: Life in Technicolor, Violet Hill, Clocks, In My Place, Glass of Water, Speed of Sound, Cemeteries of London, 42, Fix You, Strawberry Swing, God Put A Smile Upon Your Face/Talk (techno-mashup), Green Eyes, Postcards From Far Away (piano interlude), Viva La Vida, Lost, The Scientist, Death Will Never Conquer, Politik, Lovers in Japan, Death and All His Friends, Yellow. JDavis note: No one knew Glass of Water? I did :), I listened to it on the Coldplay facebook app :)

and better than the Jonas Brothers "You're young enough to bein the Jonas Brothers'

Cry about it. Coldplay isn't the first to mess it up, and won't be the last. The majority of people believe that Kansas City is in Missouri...And who can blame them, considering it says Kansas in it.

Yep. My girlfriend didn't like Green Eyes and I shunned her. Her excuse was that she had only heard it once. :rolleyes: If she had actual green eyes, I'd play it more often....
