Best MX song when played live

Witfang_7 · 24-04-2012, 01:02 PM

Finally, The second part of the Mylo Xyloto (MX) Tour is on (now including PoC and DLIBYH) !!! What's your favorite MX song when played live? I want to hear your opinions fellow Coldplayers.

I went with Hurts Like Heaven because it injects such energy into the show to kick it off!

MMIX/Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

^ yeah. I said that because they are currently playing almost all the songs from the new album. Essentially, we can now call it the MX tour^^ anyway, I'll just rephrase it .. .. ...

UATW is an amazing combination between intimate and epic.

Charlie Brown is the other obvious one. I also voted for UIF because I like the way the song comes together live. I mean it's by no means the best song, but it's still very beautiful.

I'm saying Hurts Like Heaven and praying that they drop Major Minus for the Emirates. It's not nearly as good as say, 42 or Daylight.

Definately Charlie Brown for me, no other song gets the crowd involved as much.

Major Minus would be a close second, I think it's fast becoming a really underrated song. I think it's fantastic live.

Of course HLH is a great start to the shows, with MX at the start and the wristbands its spine-tingling! Also from what I've seen DLIBYH looks like it could be one of the best live songs as well.

That was a tough one. I tend to love live versions of songs I already adore. Which is why it was tough not voting for Hurts Like Heaven and Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall. But, man, Us Against The World is just a whole other song when played live. I'm completely in love with it. I love Chris' simple acoustic guitar and Will's smooth voice.

You could make an argument for HLH and CB as the best for different reasons.

HLH because it's so fast-paced and relentless and beautiful and awesome.

CB because it's a Coldplay- Classic with amazing incorporation of the Xylobands.

Oh no. The albums do fine but now all the rock awards are going to ed Sherran (who i do not like!) :/
