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]

Coldplay concert chronology |
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
editThe 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:
- A digital countdown display shown on the panoramic video screen during the song "Square One" as the band enter the stage. The timer reaches zero at the song's explosive first chorus, followed by the crowd getting showered by red, green, and blue strobe lighting.[6]
- Chris Martin changing a lyric section of "Politik" into something related to the venue or a recent news event. For example, during their 2006 Toronto concert, Chris Martin changed the lyrics to "It's Thursday, March the 23rd, 2006, thank you for giving us your evening, and thanks for coming and being in our film". This line was made in reference to the fact that the concert was later featured in a made for television film.[7] This was also done with the song "God Put a Smile Upon Your Face" in some shows.
- Confetti, and yellow balloons filled with gold glitter showered on the audience during the song "Yellow" (a homage to The Flaming Lips).[6]
- During Coachella 2005 Martin sang the outro to "The Scientist" backwards, reminiscent of the song's music video.[8] During much of the tour, the entire track was played backwards live, after the band had finished playing it regularly. The Charles and Ray Eames video "Powers of Ten" played in the background.
- Martin running into the crowd during "In My Place" to sing with the audience.[9]
- Band members taking photographs before and during the show with disposable cameras before throwing them into the crowd. This was bassist Guy Berryman's idea, and was usually done during the reverse playing of "The Scientist".
- The band taking to the edge of the stage and performing an acoustic set of 2-3 of the following songs: "Til Kingdom Come", "Don't Panic", "Green Eyes", "Trouble" and/or a cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" or Bob Dylan's "Simple Twist of Fate".
- Martin sometimes encouraging the audience to let their camera flashes off simultaneously as the band picks up during the bridge of "Talk", but also done during "Low" via a message on the main screen behind the band, resulting in a dramatic explosion of light. "Talk" also featured Martin taking an audience member's mobile phone and singing to the person on the other end, which was a common occurrence.
- Martin swinging a suspended lightbulb above his head after the second chorus of "Fix You", followed, in outdoor shows, by fireworks as the drum fill begins. This would later be featured in the song's music video.
- A laser light show during "Clocks", with red lasers shooting out in different directions.[10] These were reintroduced during the second North American leg of the tour.
- A handwritten list of songs being projected toward the stage during "Swallowed in the Sea".[6] This is presumably an early tracklist of songs during production of X&Y.
- The band gradually increasing the tempo of "Clocks" at the end of its regular performance, until it abruptly concludes at a ridiculously high tempo.
- During the Australian leg of the tour, the band made several references to the Socceroos in the 2006 FIFA World Cup by altering lyrics of the songs. On the second night of the Melbourne concerts and the final night of the Sydney concerts, the group performed the Kylie Minogue hit "Can't Get You Out of My Head" as a tribute to Australia and its music industry.
- At some concerts in Germany, Chris Martin asked the audience in German "Wo geht es zum Bahnhof?" ("How do you get to the train station?"). This may be a reference to the U2 song "Zoo Station".
- During performances of "White Shadows", thermal black and white imagery of the band performing appeared on the panoramic big screen.[11] This was done in homage of the song title, as these kind of images can produce "white shadows" of heat producing sources.
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
editMost 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
editThe 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
editIn 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
editFootage 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.
