Coldplay: Chris Martin And His Xylo Toes - Part 2 - Page 36

Some people still do, yes. I do sometimes if we're in the car going somewhere, and when I'm in my friend's car she flips around through various radio stations 'cause she doesn't have a CD player or an iPod (or a hookup for an iPod).

I too would be totally fine with a good, lengthy setlist. Very excited for the tour to start. I still have about four months to go before my show, but still...

ryancoke71 · 04-15-2012, 09:46 PM

^Agreed. Plus, my daughter plays it on repeat.

However, it will be great to take her to see them in St. Paul. It will be her first concert.

cobl04 · 04-15-2012, 10:18 PM

I have to say, I don't think I'll go see Coldplay this year, unless they really improve the setlists. Not paying $150 again.

Edmonton's Rexall Place getting ready for Coldplay's first show of the first North American leg of the Mylo Xyloto Tour [pic below was taken way earlier]. Show should be starting around now.

The first glimpse. #coldplayeg on Twitpic

HUGE spoiler --> Someone took a pic of the Edmonton setlist, some nice surprises:

Imperor · 04-17-2012, 11:03 PM

There is one song in that setlist I'd consider a surprise. But I'd consider it a great one as it's one of their most underrated tunes.

Moonlit_Angel · 04-17-2012, 11:30 PM

Agreed, Imperor.

Should be fun to start seeing the reviews/video/etc. trickle in. I do want to try and keep some surprise element going as much as possible, but I'll check out a few things here and there, 'cause I do love hearing about people's experiences, too

The Edmonton show got rave reviews, but some were disappointed that it was 90 minutes long. With five albums, and many quality b-sides, there's no way their show should be that short.

KristenCaNaDiAn · 04-18-2012, 03:11 PM

I wish it was longer too. Cut out one of the opening acts and make a longer set

corianderstem · 04-18-2012, 03:13 PM

Sheesh, I hope that was an anomaly. 90 minutes is paltry.

ryancoke71 · 04-18-2012, 03:58 PM

It's the norm, sadly.

I know the girl who posted that setlist!

corianderstem · 04-18-2012, 04:50 PM

Well, I'm pre-emptively disappointed.

But I know I'll enjoy the paltry 90 minutes. I'll just wish there were more.

ryancoke71 · 04-18-2012, 05:28 PM

The show is amazing from all the reviews I have seen!

Moonlit_Angel · 04-18-2012, 11:41 PM

I haven't been to tons of concerts-how long does an average concert last? Most of the ones I've been to have lasted about that long, if not less (granted a couple of them were a triple lineup, so everyone's sets had to be short for that reason). I think Crowded House are the only ones I've seen who've lasted longer, and I think it was about 2 hours with them. So 90 minutes doesn't seem that weird to me-of course, I'd love for the show to be longer, but eh *Shrugs*. Is there a specific reason these guys' shows aren't longer or something?

trojanchick99 · 04-19-2012, 11:43 AM

Most headlining sets for established bands go 2 hours or close to it.. However, the Foo Fighters usually go 2.5 hours. For comparison. U2 360 had 24 songs, Bruce plays 25 songs, Foo Fighters 24 songs, Coldplay 20. For a band with as much catalogue as they have, that's kinda pitiful.

LuckyNumber7 · 04-19-2012, 03:00 PM

Yeah, it's not the sound count or time that it boils down to...

It's the "how could you not play that song?" factor for me. RHCP did the same shit.

Coldplay Concert Setlist at Scotiabank Saddledome, Calgary on April 18, 2012 | setlist.fm

Lovers In Japan made it's tour debut last night. I love that Warning Sign is being played, as it's one of my favorites on A Rush of Blood To The Head. Great to see some more Mylo Xyloto tracks thrown in there, such as Princess of China and Don't Let It Break Your Heart.

It seems that they're limiting themselves to a 20 song set, compared to the 18 song sets in Europe. Still not good enough for a band like Coldplay, in my opinion.

ryancoke71 · 04-19-2012, 04:41 PM

They played Lost the night before instead of Lovers in Japan. I want to see them both!!

LuckyNumber7 · 04-19-2012, 04:47 PM

Uhh yeah... Lost! is my favorite Coldplay song. They better not make that a habit.

ryancoke71 · 04-19-2012, 04:50 PM

I'm seeing them both nights in Toronto so hopefully I get to see both.

It's sad when I can think of 4 or 5 songs I'd like to hear that are not on there, and I was just a casual fan up until a little while ago.

corianderstem · 04-19-2012, 05:10 PM

I'll be very bummed if they don't play Lost. Although I quite like Lovers in Japan too, so I'm sure I'll live.

However, if they'd like to randomly drop The Scientist at the Seattle show, I'd love them forever.
