There are a few things on the setlist that feel reused from the AHFOD tour, including the newish Fix You version.

A thought that has been following me for the last few days is that Humankind is a better opening song than Higher Power. What do you think?

This is probably one of the weirdest decision Coldplay has made in terms of their setlist. In every era the have a very intentional song to start the shows and a very intentional song to end them. In this album they picked Higher Power to start both the album and the show, which IMHO it's not the best choice (I'd rather start the show with Humankind). They've also picked Coloratura to end the album and it's a perfect song to do it, but SOMEHOW they picked Biutyful to end the show? I love the track and it's one of my favourites, but it's nowhere near the energy of an ending song. Coloratura seems almost perfect, except for the fact that it's a not conventional song for most people and, given it is Coldplay we are talking about, they need to appeal the mainstream audience which are the majority. I believe they painted themselves into a corner where the ending song they choose for the album doesn't fit very well in their shows for this last reason that I've mentioned, and somehow they ended up picking Biutyful. In my opinion they should break the mould and start using other ending songs that aren't necessarily from this era. Why not Fix You? ASFOS? SJLT? There are many great songs that have proven to be hits in their setlist and can also work as the ending.

Following my thoughts that neither the album nor the tour has a great intro song, I believe this should be it. It's almost perfectly designed for stadium and I believe it would work great to start a concert, given the songs we have available in MOTS. Now, as almost everyone says I agree that it has a very strong "Don't Let It Break Your Heart" energy, mixed with a little "Thing That I Don't Understand". I really enjoy this track!

Thanks for the info! I guess that's the one

That seems legit. I knew Chris used Yamaha silent piano but not the real sound, it just triggered de MIDI signals into that custom rack that was previously mentioned in this post, but watching their Glastonbury performance it seemed weird to me that Chris had to do Everglow alone because the piano was "out of tune". Now all make sense.

I think that's correct, but it seemed to me that the one on the image it's not a full size 88-key keyboard while the MP9000 is. I've attached an image where you can see that Jonny's guitar it's shorter than the keyboard. Maybe it's a smaller model or a custom made for the band. Chris has been using a custom made MP9000 rack for the piano sound, so maybe they made a smaller one too.

Hi everyone! It's been a long time since I post anything here. Anyway, now that we have a new era, we have new instruments that the band play live. I was wondering which is the keyboard Jonny plays live in songs like "Hymn For The Weekend", "Viva La Vida" or "Paradise"? Seems like it's a Korg but I can find it anywhere. It's not a full size keyboard and it has wood on its sides. Here's a screenshot from the Annie Mac show: Hope someone can figure it out and thank you!

Hello, I come here after a long time since the laste reply. I was just thinking about that interview where Will said that they would probably go to Paraguay. Even the Latin American Tour is cancelled they didn't announced Paraguay in the list of countries. Does anyone (probably a Paraguayo) knows what happened with that? Thanks...

Here you can listen Or download the Chris performance at the 12.12.12 concert. I've uploaded by my self :) https://soundcloud.com/gastypm/sets/chris-martin-live-at-12-12-12

That's true!! When it comes to T4F concerts they are always the more expensive! PS: Weird to talk to someone who also speak Spanish in english

It seems a good reason, as PopArtist said, Mylo Xyloto could be nominated because it was released between the Grammy's terms. There's another reason of postponing the tour: in Argentina there are some porblems in taking dollars out of the country, that was the reason they postponed Rock In Rio 2013 in Buenos Aires. It may sound a bit selfish but I'm so happy they postponed the tour because I wouldn't be able to go in February so if it is in March/April it would be awesome!

Time Machine It's the ending of 2012 and I don't know why i'm here, but the thing is that it's been almost 4 years since the release of Prospekt's March and it's quite funny reading all those messages that you've posted. The other E.P. only has four different versions of Lost (Lost! (album version), Lost? (Acoustic Version) Lost@ (Live at Chicago) and Lost+ (with Jay-Z). Then the band released LeftRightLeftRightLeft, a 7-track live album that was given free to every person in the audience on the VLV tour. I'm sorry to tell you that all those songs that you've been waiting to release in the 5th album, there won't be there. That album is called "Mylo Xyloto" and it's the happier and more colorful album ever! Now, we're waiting for the release of "Live 2012", after 9 years since the release of "Live 2003", Coldplay has decide to do it again. It seems that Coldplay will take an year break between 2013-2014, so we may not see new releases until 2014 or 2015. I'm sure you already know this stuff but, I though that it would be funny to talk to the 2008 Coldplayers (Which I hope they still Coldplayers now!)

I think this will be much better for the Coldplay Film

Since the Twisted Logic tour, Coldplay have a third year of touring which is in Latin America. Also, you can see in Coldplay Last.fm's page that there are plenty of shows in Latin American including Argentina (my country) :)

I can play Keyboard (Piano, Synths, etc...), guitar and drums. Actually I have a band and we've made two covers (both of Coldplay's songs). Here you can watch the lastest one... [ame= ] [/ame] PS: I'm the guy playing drums in the video but in the record I'm playing all keyboards, drums and some guitar riffs.

At first I viewed it as a new whole thing but now, after I listened 3542352452 times I figured out that it's a happier version of Viva La Vida

The only football adverstiment that I like!

The first one? Clocks I knew Clocks long before i realised that was by Coldplay, you know, that piano riff is more famous than any other Coldplay song. A friend of my in 2008 was playing it in his cellphone so I said to him "Pleas, tell me now which is that song" obviouly said Clocks by Coldplay so I started listening more Coldplay songs. Then for my birthday my parents gave me an iPod that had 6000, invluding Parachutes, A Rush Of Blood To The Head and X&Y. Then in 2009 when another friend showed me Talk and Fix You I became a fan and started listening every song.

Actually it means "Don't cry to me"
