Coldplay concert chronology

The Twisted Logic Tour was the third concert tour undertaken by British rock band Coldplay. It was launched in support of their third studio album, X&Y (2005) on 15 June 2005, in Hamburg. [2] Before the concert run, they embarked in a series of warm-up shows, which included their first performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and an appearance at the HFStival. [3]

Contents

Following the Australian and Asian legs, the band decided to rest for an extended period to produce Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008), concluding the tour with a Latin American run in 2007. [4] It was the band's only concert run not named after its promoted album: they chose a song which has never been played live.

Background

The Twisted Logic Tour is noted for its use of extravagant stage effects. Strobe lights and various other fixtures were used to create an elaborate light show. The back of the stage contained a two-story panoramic video panel that displayed live footage and computer generated images, from video of a bear wandering aimlessly during "Talk" [5] to a montage of coloured blocks from the cover of X&Y during the song "Clocks".

Other concert highlights include:

During the tour, the band wore matching outfits consisting of black jackets, black trousers, and white shoes; of this, Chris Martin said: "There's great security in looking over at Jonny and seeing he's wearing the same coloured shoes as me. I suppose it's the same reason the army wears a uniform - so that you feel part of a clan. And when we're all dressed that way, I just feel very much like, it's OK, coz I'm part of this team." [12]

Opening acts

Most of the tour included at least one supporting act on each concert, with English singer Richard Ashcroft opening all the German, [13] Dutch, [14] and Italian performances of the first European leg. [15] He was accompanied by Kettcar, [13] Tomte, [13] and Vertigo in selected dates. [14] Morning Runner became the main guest in Ireland and the United Kingdom, while Interpol (22 and 27 June), Supergrass (28 June to 2 July), Elbow (4 July) and Doves (5 July) featured as additional supports. [16] The first North American leg had Black Mountain until 26 August, as Rilo Kiley took over the remaining dates. [17] For the second European run, Coldplay invited Goldfrapp (mainland) and Ashcroft (United Kingdom). [17] The latter returned in the final North American leg after Fiona Apple played from 25 January to 5 March 2006. [18] The rest of the tour saw the band visiting Asia, Oceania and Latin America: Youth Group opened in Australia, [19] while Saiko, Brian Storming, Papas da Língua, Volován supported in Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico, respectively. [20]

Concert synopsis

The Twisted Logic Tour's set list was heavily weighted towards tracks from X&Y since the tour promoted the album. The remaining material was mostly from A Rush of Blood to the Head with songs such as "Politik", "In My Place", "Clocks", and "The Scientist", and to a lesser extent "Don't Panic", "Yellow", and "Trouble" being the only holdovers from Parachutes played with regularity. The only new song played on the tour was "How You See the World No. 2" which was from the "Help: A Day in the Life" benefit album. Earlier tours such as those in the Parachutes era debuted work-in-progress versions of tracks that would appear on A Rush of Blood to the Head. Likewise, Coldplay's newest compositions during the A Rush of Blood to the Head Tour such as "Gravity", and "Proof" were included as B-sides to X&Y's singles.

The introductory music played at the start of each concert was either Brand Nubian's "Meaning of the 5%" or "Tomorrow Never Knows" by The Beatles. The closing music is "Good Night" by The Beatles. The following is a sample setlist of a concert at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Bonner Springs, Kansas, United States. The major changes to this set for the other tour dates mainly saw "X&Y" and "Low" performed in lieu of "What If". Often, variations of these songs being played with one another occurred, such as "What If" and "Low". Also, "Parachutes" was often performed between "Yellow" and "Speed of Sound", and "Green Eyes" was sometimes added to the B-stage set.

Reception

In total, the tour grossed $105,775,572 from 2,051,923 tickets sold. [21] Pollstar also reported 608,441 admissions were purchased in 2005, which made Coldplay rank at number 11 on their list of most attended tours of the year. [22]

Video release

Footage for a concert film was filmed at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on 22 and 23 March 2006. [6] The band announced a DVD release in March but the film was only shown in television channels such as Canada's Much Music under the name Coldplay: How We Saw the World – Live in Toronto. [23] The airing date was Thursday 14 December 2006 at 9 pm and replays occurred at midnight and 3:30 pm on 15 December. The show was also exhibited on Spanish television. Due to the lack of airplay on mainstream channels in many countries, the show has been heavily shared on the internet.

Produced by Coldplay and producer Danton Supple, the album was recorded during a turbulent period for the band, during which their manager and creative director, Phil Harvey, briefly departed. Producer Ken Nelson was originally tasked with producing the record; however, many songs written during his sessions were discarded due to the band's dissatisfaction with them. The album's cover art combines colours and blocks to represent the title in Baudot code.
