Is it just me or...

... Does Chris talk less during the concerts, I remember Chris used to talk a lot and making a lot of jokes during the intervals(in the Viva era before THP), but this era it seems like he's mostly just asking ''Everbody ok?'' and ''Is there anybody out there?'' ,'' I can't hear you''. Not that it's something very bad or shocking but I just notice it. and also the intervals between songs are all so short, for example, after Major Minus has ended it's like 2 seconds and LIJ/Lost! starts again. It sometimes just seems like they're in some kind of hurry. Anyone else has te same feeling?

the ole olé's are cool, they remind me of Spanish Rain, they also did olé olé there

strikie · 16-06-2012, 01:49 PM

I liked the singing in the rain better

but, it's not allways raining

Prospector · 16-06-2012, 03:27 PM

I like the MM/LiJ thing, fits well like that, but some talking before some more slow or old songs would be nice, like The Scientist, Yellow...

DundahMifflin · 16-06-2012, 05:07 PM

Yeah, that's been bothering me. Not so much the talking, but how fast one song ends and another begins. I'd like if they slowed it down some.

Coeurli · 16-06-2012, 05:55 PM

^

We know they're very happy & enjoying it when they're on stage, but indeed they end songs fast and quickly begin the other, and so it seems like they just want to wrap it up quickly. Which is weird because, as I said, we know they really love being on stage!
I guess it's something they want: maybe they think this way the show is more dynamic, like you're caught in the experience and you only get to breathe once it's done. Idk

aschall · 16-06-2012, 06:08 PM

^ They don't talk as much in between songs but they do drag songs out quite a lot (ie yellow, violet hill, GPASUYF, Viva la vida)

AmbroseCadwell · 20-06-2012, 07:56 PM

4th June at the Emirates, Chris did a whole speech early on :L
Nah, I prefer it with short gaps between songs... keeps the energy flowing!

chrisnz · 22-06-2012, 07:49 AM

Most venues have a curfew.The set list is much longer these days and they have to play all the songs before like 11:30 or whatever.

If he started talking for a few minutes they would have to take away songs !!!

compromise people.

No it's not.

the scientist is dead · 22-06-2012, 12:10 PM

Yeah...I've noticed that!

Maybe they don't wanna waist any time , cause their setlists are getting longer, you know
They wanna play their new songs and keep up with the old ones too.

Coeurli · 22-06-2012, 12:24 PM

Their setlist is NOT getting longer, so no, I don't think that's the reason.
