It’s criminal how much X&Y gets overlooked these days in their set lists, apart from Fix You. So many great songs on that album that deserve more love. I wish Coldplay could do a gig playing songs from their first 3 albums only. It would sell out in seconds
Agreed, sadly, I think the band don't like them, x&y especially. It sucks cuse they are so good. for me, x&y has no bad song, and the others are still super good. But yeah, if they played lots of older tracks, I think they would sell like hot cakes. I, for one, would go.
The one thing that makes Jonny Buckland incredibly important as a musician is taste. People say guitarist but he is a musician. Its just a chosen instrument to bring out what he wants. His vibratos aren't the best, and that does not matter. The highly regarded George Harrison was that way. Techniques did not matter, how about the music? Chris Martin decides what guitar riffs are on the recordings, but still out of all those ideas, its fantastic. Would love to hear what else he brought to the table. Hope they weren't deleted. Anyhow, the way he plays his guitar, he does not think in terms of genres, nor does he care about style. Its all about what is good for the music. Take Violet Hill. Country sounding bends but an unorthodox way of using that technique. A "versatile" guitar player probably wouldn't think that. Also, note how passive his personality seems, and that is probably great because its lack of selfishness toward the music. He serves, and perhaps selflessly so.
I think my favourite thing about this and anything Coldplay does is that they truly seem to enjoy being around each other and making music together. You can really tell Jonny and Chris are having a blast together here.
Now that is talent, and they played one of my favourite songs, Sparks and even though it was missing that beautiful base line from Guy Berryman, it was lovely. I love watching Coldplay do random stuff like this. I hope they do more.
This was absolutely genuine and powerful. For so much, I've been playing guitar and trying to be proficient, but music does not ask to be just proficient but actually talented and humble enough to create true harmony and then an artistic result, and Coldplay actually is super harmonic and cured at any music level. They are the greatest band of the last 20 years, for sure, without any kind of comparison allowed.
9:59 X&Y peak Coldplay for me. It’s understandable it was not a good time for the band what was shown in the documentary. I hope they come back to that album cause it’s a masterpiece.
@@qwertyu6744sorry, I don’t. I was just able to identify that one in the video visually. Chris seems to favour this one in live clips I’ve seen over the years. No idea if he uses different stuff in the studio.
I’m not sure what you mean. There are three acoustic guitars used in this video, all with different tunings. Violet Hill has the first two strings tuned to the same note (C# I believe? Can’t remember), Sparks has the high E tuned to a D, and Higher Power is some variation of DADGAD (perhaps the G to a F#?) - the last two with a capo.
@@ryanqkfcman yes, that was what I meant. Incredible. Thanks, I didn’t know the tuning details. Just try to play with this video and I realized every guitar had a different tuning.. What a creative guy Chris is.
Never seen a group waste their talent so much, so much quality music and voice,why do they do concerts Today so bad with songs and music so boring✌️Their latest albums have no identity, it's elevator music.

X&Y is the album I always go back to. It really doesn’t have a single weak moment.
They should definetely make a tour and only play the less known stuff. I'd love to see them playing songs like Daylight, Low, 42 or Major Minus.
this rendition of violet hill goes crazy
I love hearing those bits like Square One
Chris Martin is something else.
It would be crazy a western/country version of Violet Hill. That's actually what this video inspires me.

chris martin is one of the best acoustic ritmic guitar players out there
I agree
Why?
I hope they'll do more of this

Me gusta escuchar sus canciones de antaño, que bueno que no se olviden de ellas 5:49

best vocal.
WHAT...
13:16
this violet hill version reminds me of spies
Nice! I dig the electric. Kinda reminiscent of Mike Campell. I wish these guys would just put out the music they really want to play. Shit like this.
❤😊
cool guy
This is so Pink Floyd esque.
0:52 whats the model of the guitar pleaseeee ? ( Chris's guitar )
Chris is playing a Martin 00-15. It’s mostly made out of mahogany giving it quite a unique tone compared to most other acoustics.
@@countstoneula do you know what songs were recorded with d15m and 00-15 in coldplay albums?
@@qwertyu6744sorry, I don’t. I was just able to identify that one in the video visually. Chris seems to favour this one in live clips I’ve seen over the years. No idea if he uses different stuff in the studio.
Song name???
VIOLET HILL
One guitar, one differente tuning?!

Is that a 1973 tele thinline that cat is playing? Geez, he has two of them. ugh
Apparently he has a tonne of them, actually.
Just 9:52

Maybe they ran out of talent?
@@ashketchup6443 I think they are no longer 100% invested in the music, it can be felt in the latest albums, there is a quick side to it.
