Jan. 25 Seattle Show Review(s)

dreads3213 · 26-01-2006, 08:21 AM

hey all i just got back from the first show of the second leg of the twisted logic tour and i thought i'd give their playlist and a review. if you don't want spoilers of the set and show do not read on
i'll start with the straight up set list:
Square One
Politik
Yellow
Speed of Sound
God Put a Smile Upon Your Face
X & Y
How You See the World
White Shadows
The Scientist
(Acoustic Portion)
'Til Kingdom Come
Ring of Fire
Trouble
(Back to Electric)
Clocks
Talk

Encore:
The Hardest Part
In My Place
Fix You

as you can see the set list is very similar to the first leg of the Twisted Logic tour and much of the lights and movie screen shots are the same. the show starts the same way with the rap song and then the countdown and up as well as other notable parts like the epileptic like lights during politik and the the bear during talk.
now for a run down of the specific things:
he introduced fiona apple at 8 PM sharp and congratulated the mothers that taught their children to never be late. he looks extra shaggy too.
once they started the lights went down and the rap song played for a few minutes and then they went on stage and the countdown started. they played the first two songs and then he told us that they had been in seattle for four days and joking asked about this football team that's going to the superbowl.
then they started God Put a Smile... and he replaced one of the lyrics with "God put a Starbucks on every fucking street corner" and the crowd went nuts.
then a song or two later he congratulated the seahawks for being in the superbowl and the people loved that too. they did the balloons again during yellow and he tried to pop one with his guitar and it just bounced off but was able to pop one that had landed on the stage.
it was a nice surprise to hear x and y because i've wanted to hear it live but they didn't play it at white river on the last tour. chris also mentioned about how bad the traffic was getting out to the middle of nowhere for white river and how it took them about seven years to get there.
how you see the world was awesome even though i'd never heard it before but i still really liked it.
they ended the scientist the same was with the sing along and then the backwards outro and set up for the acoustic part.
ring of fire wasn't just a teaser like in some other cities it was pretty much the full song and everybody was singing along and clapping.
trouble was awesome for me because it's one of my favorite songs by coldplay and will played the piano while chris sang but near the end they were both playing on the same piano and it was amazing. too bad it wasn't the full length, they cut out the end part.
they did clocks the same way with the drumroll lead up and then the fast outro which chris and will have gotten much more coordinated at since i saw them in august.
during talk he was down at the front of the stage and the screen behind him had the bear in the corner walking around and a close up view of his face in the other corner and at one point he grabbed someone's cell phone and was singing the part about "talking in a language i don't speak"
they all had their disposable cameras and took pics of the crowd before throwing them out.
once again in in my place chris ran through the crowd and at the key arena ran into the 100 seating area and finished the song there. the most amazing part was that when he went by us to get there i was on the aisle and i knew it was coming so i was able to touch him in true obsessive fan style and it was amazing. my friend also got a pic of his face as he ran back to the stage.
they ended again with fix you and they had the light that came down and chris swung around and that was about it.

all in all it was a good show. i'm kinda torn on it because it's so similar to the white river and every other show of the twisted logic tour except indoors. it was amazing though to be so close to him and to touch him but the set list was very predictable which was kinda sad. but i do love coldplay and their level of playing was perfect as always it's just kinda hard to justify 88 dollars for something that is mostly the same thing. another upside is that i was in row thirty on the floor instead of in the 200 section at white river so i had a much better view of the band.
let's see.. the merch was mostly the same they still had the tour book and a couple of the same shirts though there were new ones that advertised the twisted logic tour 2006. there were a few sweatshirts that were ludicrously expensive as welll as a patch, mug, and button. the shirts were 35.

umm.. i think that is all for now. if you read that whole thing congratulations. i should be putting up some shitty camera phone/crappy digital camera pics in a day or two.

yeah i really want them to spice up the setlist

dreads3213 · 26-01-2006, 08:28 AM

i see that youre also going to tomorrow's show i'm interested to see what that set list is

putainfromage · 26-01-2006, 08:29 AM

it'll probably be very similar, they need to start playing twisted logic! i really want to hear that live!

dreads3213 · 26-01-2006, 08:31 AM

i was just thinking that it was kinda odd that theyre on the twisted logic tour but not ever playing twisted logic.

you touched him?? details....? haha

anu · 26-01-2006, 12:03 PM

Thanks so much for the prompt reviews!!

I read somewhere--now I can't remember where, so someone here might know the exact reference--that the band obsesses over fan reviews and the four all really care what "we" think.

So, perhaps the group will begin to see us as a serious group of fans who travel to see them, spend serious chunks of change on the show, and hope, really hope, to see the setlist jazzed and jolted and jumbled in such a fashion as to make each night new.

I don't want to end up saying "August was better than March" and "Outside was better than inside" . . .or "they were better before they got so popular," so here's hoping they hear and heed, or if it is the same set that it blows the roof off the places!!!

ok..set looks pretty much the same as the first leg..i wish they would change some songs up as well as the antics...warning signs...sparks...something new to offer this leg..al in all i am excited to see them...sounds like chris is totally in the zone on the stage and he has become a total performer

victaniac · 26-01-2006, 03:15 PM

That means, that it IS the 4th single...

OasisDouglas · 26-01-2006, 04:16 PM

Great Gig!

For anyone that cares, I was able to audio record the entire gig and it came out fairly well. For an audience recording I would consider it above average.

(Full gig should be available and free to download in the next 3-5 days)
