The Red Army

I have a question. I wasn't here for the VLV Tour, but when the band played back to back in the same city on consecutive nights, did they usually change their setlist a bit (on the second night) or pretty much kept it the same?

at the 55 second mark "took the car downtown and took what they offered me, on 4/20" lol, fits perfectly into the meaning of the song (if you interpret it that way)

What a shitty lineup (aside from 2-3 acts).

Coldplay ‏ @coldplay These Canadian crowds just get better and better #bestjobintheworld PH http://twitter.com/#!/coldplay

^ I didn't mean it like that, I meant to say why write a review when the concert is not even done yet...but meh

^ But the show isn't done yet...

Alia Ali ‏ @alia724 OMG! Someone threw their very red bra on stage and he picked it up and spun it around! #coldplay

"I'm pretty sure everyone in Vancouver is stoned right now, which makes us the perfect band for today!" "if your in vancouver on 4/20 won't you get stoned" to the tune of violet hill CM apparently said that. haha!

none that I can find, searching twitter though

it's 5:51 in Vancouver Concert (coldplay's part) starts at 9 so basically 3 hours from now

I really don't understand what all the moaning about the setlist is about. I've been privy to this too and I've complained and wanted my "dream" setlist, but in reality Coldplay are a band that, most of all, want to please their fans. They are not going to get rid of songs like Yellow, IMP, The Scientist etc because these are classic Coldplay songs and at concerts, this is what people want to hear. Most people that attend these concerts are not hardcore fans as present on these forums. Concerts are attended by a majority of casual Coldplay fans or rock/soft-rock fans in general. If they dropped Politik, sure 10-15% of the audience may be upset, but the majority of the people won't take any notice. On the other hand, if they dropped Yellow or IMP, that's on a different level. And I've seen some proposed setlists consisting of mainly non-singles, and this would never happen because more than half the audience would just get bored. Also, we as fans follow every concert on these forums and see the same setlist over and over again, but to many of the people who attend the concerts, its completely new to them. So the idea that Coldplay would all of a sudden revamp their setlist to include songs that we know they are just not going to play, is just really hopeful optimism. From what I've read so far (concert reviews online and in this forum), everyone has come back saying they had a great time and that's all that really matters. This is just my two cents by the way.

(Currently, MX is #35 on the Canadian Charts)

Yeah, in a sense it is. But at the same time, interviews are usually done to promote the tour or album and a band as big as Coldplay don't need to do that. And possibly, after what happened after the GMA interview, they just don't see the point. The 'regretting the album' joke got to the point where CM had to defend his actions on twitter. It shouldn't even have come to that, in my opinion. It's weird to see how fast the media can change and twist a story. Again, this is just my theory and food for thought and if I had to put a prediction on when they would end it, it would be in June, when PoC is predicted to come out.

This is my own little theory and I'll see how true it holds in the coming months. My theory is basically that Coldplay are on a media blackout (not giving radio/tv interviews etc). The reason behind this is from the GMA interview where the media misinterpreted CM's joke about regretting naming the album MX. We haven't heard from them since (aside from the occasional tweet). I'm interested to see how long this holds up. Again, this is just my theory.

Good to hear you had a great time, looking forward to reading your report if you make one. And if there were any changes to the setlist that was posted in this thread. Was Life is for Living played?

Tash, here's another review http://metronews.ca/news/calgary/110583/calgary-chills-out-with-coldplay-review-and-photo-gallery/ (I don't know how to make it nice with the picture and all, lol)

@coldplay Fucking love Canada PH haha, nice.

In Toronto, I've been to the ACC (our main big venue) many times, and I've never been screened. Only if you bring a bag, they'll check that, otherwise they just let you right in. The odd random person may get checked though. Hmm, seems a bit strange for this happen at a CP concert though.

O man, sounds bad. Hoping for the best. Here's another review btw http://www.calgaryherald.com/entertainment/Review+Night+with+Coldplay/6481812/story.html

http://www.calgarysun.com/2012/04/19/coldplay-paradise-at-dome This review says they did Lost! hmm, that means no LiJ?

^ I believe it was Warning Sign

I havn't heard anything about PoC, surely if Rihanna's video was playing, someone would have tweeted about it....maybe they skipped it...prolly not though...we'll find out soon enough

They seem to be finished UIF right now. Other than that, ppl really havn't been tweeting, but I've read tweets about Yellow, IMP, HLH, and GPASYF
