Not sure if it's the first song, but they're playing Clocks:

I think we're going to get another MX.

Yes; Moving to Mars; Atlas - it's true that Chris' voice truly is spectacular in a lower register. It just has a very emotive timbre to it; you can feel the angst, the threat, and the confusion in his voice. I'm glad he doesn't over-use it, though.

Is there a potential idea you are happy with?

And Achtung Baby-style photographic panel cover would look cool, IMO.

^ thanks for that.

Faker than fake can be, I think! Just sounds like someone trying to sing like Chris, but it's too nasal to be Chris himself I think! I'm also pretty sure this was around before MX leaked as well?

Nice one Wigan!

Agree with this. They have never sounded so good live, nor had so much fun on stage - naturally they will continue with the Charlie Brown and Every Teardrop-style anthems that suit their new comfortable abode of the stadium gig.

1. Every Teardrop 2. Mylo Xyloto 3. Charlie Brown 4. Up in Flames 5. Hurts Like Heaven

With how these songs line up, I'd choose the MX songs every time. Trouble vs Charlie Brown is the tightest one - yet Charlie Brown is probably the best thing they have ever done - but for me the rest are comfortable decisions.

My dream MX-era setlist: Politik Lovers in Japan Shiver Violet Hill Major Minus God Put A Smile (MX version) The Scientist Yellow In My Place Viva La Vida Charlie Brown B-Stage: Strawberry Swing (orchestral version, á la Paralympics) Princess of China Up in Flames Back to the main stage: Paradise Us Against The World Don't Let it Break Your Heart Swallowed in the Sea Fix You Life in Technicolor II Encore: MX/Hurts Like Heaven Clocks Every Teardrop It's not really any different to the current set, except with the order being changed around and a few of my own favourites being stuffed in there! Opening with Politik is just sheer epicness, and it would be amazing to see them come out and start the encore with MX/HLH!

Genuinely can't see them dropping MX songs in favour of X&Y. They're just going to continue their normal trend of playing their hits, and adding five/six from LP6. So you'll see a very similar setlist with Princess of China, MX/Hurts Like Heaven, Up in Flames, Don't Let It Break Your Heart, Us Against the World and Major Minus dropped. There's no way they will drop Charlie Brown, Paradise and Every Teardrop, they're far too popular.

MX all the way. Those 43 seconds are just an outpouring of musical joy.

The Hobbit - 9.5/10. I'm a fanboy so obviously biased, but genuinely enjoyed it. Different from LOTR yet still a homely, nostalgic feel. Highly recommended. Better than Return of the King, but just about falls short of The Two Towers as there is no major set-piece, ie. Helm's Deep.
