This song live....

[Dejan]

I wonder how they'll play this song live.....it's almost 100% electronic.

[Famous Old Painter]

Is it? I've listened to it several times and I dont hear any electronics at all (or maybe I'm deaf, the previews did say this was an electronic song :confused:)

There'll definately be the standard line-up, Jonny on guitar, Chris on piano/vocals, Will on Drums and Guy on Bass. As for handclaps - audience participation?

I think Viva la Vida would be the hardest to replicate live, and we've seen that anyway.

[tubamaniac612]

There are definitely some synths in the background, but CoL is not nearly as electronic as I expected. Its got the same amount of synths as Speed of Sound, and that one turned out great performed live. This one shouldn't be all that hard to replicate.

[dotty biscotti]

I think they could easily play it live with a few minor adjustments...it would be awesome to hear it

ah, so your deaf or you've never heard the song?

[Dejan]

i'm talkin about the beat.....i'm sure its almost 100% electronic

[Viva La Violet Hill]

prbly the same way they play viva la vida.

can't wait to hear the solo live.

[Dejan]

ah, so your deaf or you've never heard the song?

ma vai a farti spaccare il culo,idiota

[TracieMorgan]

pretty effing simple, if you ask me...get the audience to do the hand-claps,lol!!

In all seriousness though, I'm sure they'll have to use some drum loops live, although they could get away without them. Who cares? It's gonna be f**ing AMAZIG live!!!

*pitches a tent and pulls a sleeping bag out to live in the COL forum for a while... rent Check's in the mail, Ian*:D

[Open, Politik]

I really really want to hear this song live man!!!

[stingfan]

Have the audiences been singing the "singing ah la la la la la aye!" part? That would sound really cool.

[Pseudonym]

Exactly what I think every time I listen to the song:D

[ricardo]

I hope they play it live, it must be awesome :cool: I mean if they can play viva la vida live they can play this song easily... Well I hope they play the whole album live (yeah even Reign of love)

[Mig-El]

Ps si pero yo creo ke si podriamos prescindir de reign of love no crees? jajaj digo creo ke hay muchas ke aunke viejas valdrian mas la pena no es ke odie la cancion pero digo...

[alexman331]

A lot of there older songs have a lot more electronic stuff in them than Cemeteries of London... So I'm sure they can pull it off just fine! :)

[coldplayGeorgia!]

i wonder how many time will it take for normal audience to learn all the lirycs to sing on with the band together through the song .. it will be awesome the thing i like most of all in album is that all the songs can be perfectly performed in Live ;)

[soufpawbandit28]

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

They didnt play it at the los angeles show!!!

i hope they play it in D.C.!

[jasmynebirch]

I would be pretty upset if they don't add this to their set at some point on this tour (hopefully when I am seeing them).

[moss]

i hope they play it in time for birmingham (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v91/leche/image16.jpg)

[Fixed]

It's not that electronic is it? The beat is just Will's snare and bass drum and some communal hand clapping.

[ailene90]

The only complaint I have about the show in Hartford is Coldplay not playing this song! I know they haven't played it in any of the gigs so far, but I hoped they would. I love it so much.

[Malcolm-Edge]

This song should open the show. I see LiT and CoL as one song. Violet hill should be later on.

They need this song live! Its The BEST ONE!

[Fixed]

I can't believe they've not played this yet - the "la la la" is such an obvious crowd singalong.

[moss]

I hope they read this, it would be criminal not to play it live because:

http://coldplaying.com/index.php?name=Polls&req=results&pollID=86

it's the fans second favourite song

[GazeboflossUK]

Yeah, it's a piece of piss to play live. There no electronic beat.

I don't mind if live songs sound slightyl different from the Album version - in fact, I prefer it.

They need to gid rid of all (or a lot of) the backing that they use - it cheapens the performance.

[Eh Steve!]

its cool to hear live

[Strawberry Swinger]

I hope they play this in Budapest... Please guys!

[Viva La Parachutes]

i think they can pul any song of thiers off pretty well live!!

[neonhorn22]

Have the audiences been singing the "singing ah la la la la la aye!" part? That would sound really cool.

Yes! Well, at least they did in Oklahoma City and it was spine-tingling to hear a crowded arena full of people singing "singing La la la la la la leeeeeeeey!"

[gmalool]

Song is amazing live. Hopefully they play it in there 2009 American tour.

[tauiwi]

OH yeah, I love this live. Heard it last night and it was a DEFINITE highlight!

[Macintosh]

Ohhh yeah!! thas song live is just increduble! much faster , more pretty and really driving me crazy!
