Why did Coldplay left off to play Speed Of Sound live? - Page 5

The VLV tour's setlist has just had a lot of sad sacrifices in my opinion. Square One, Speed of Sound, Yes, and Chinese Sleep Chant come to mind. The only good thing that came out of it, at least for me, was Cemeteries of London.

Any day of the week I would trade Yellow for Shiver, Politik for Warning Sign, Fix You for Square One, and Glass of Water for Yes.

Perhaps the next tour they will reevaluate the formula. Unfortunately I get a feeling they find themselves feeling "locked in" to playing singles/popular songs. Which means Yellow, Clocks, In My Place, Fix You, Viva La Vida are fixtures. More likely than not, Lovers in Japan, and Lost seem like they would be carried over.

I won't even say they should play more classics. I would just love to see them strike out some regulars for other stuff. High Speed, Daylight, Amsterdam, Square One, White Shadows, A Message, Talk (hell I don't even like Talk), Rainy Day, etc.

I listened to SoS in my first concert and in the second thay played glass of water instead. what i didn't like is that they played nearly the same concert in two different years!! (U2 changed it more in two days) and that reallly annoyed me!
The differences were that they played the scientis (GREAT LIVE SONG AND I REALLY CRIED), glass of water, LITII, green eyes and billy jean. the rest was the same
I don't like they play nearly all the VLV CD in the concert! there are much more better songs and why the hell they only play Yellow of Parachutes. What about trouble or Don't Panic??!
I want Amsterdam or AROBTTH, SITS.... but yeah the concert would be about 5 hours long....

Well, I must confess I'd give a leg to hear songs like Don't panic, Amsterdam, Warning sign, Evrything's not lost, Green eyes and many more live. On the other hand, I believe it's something almost impossible. They've already said that they're never gonna stop playing yellow or in my place, so I guess it's the same with the other classics, such as Clocks, fix you, vlv...

And I did miss them playing Speed of sound. It was amazing live and it is an incredible song. I really wish they could do more changes on the repertoire, they have so much to offer!

But, of course, I can't say that that spoiled the concerts I've been...
