Free Music Notes for Live 2003 (CD & DVD)
Free Music Review: Must-have for Coldplay fans
Hit: 5 Stars
In my opinion, Coldplay music is so much better live. The studio versions seem so one-dimensional and lack the depth and fullness of the live versions. And they haven't made many of the live performances available on DVD so this is really a gem. Although the live DVD performance isn't as dynamic as the newer (2006 Canadian concert or 2009 Viva la Vida) concerts, it is always great to be able to see them play their guitars and piano, belt out the lyrics and interact with the crowd. Chris Martin seems to have really come into his own, becoming more comfortable commanding the stage and the audience as the years went by. For the hardcore fan, the DVD was shot with multiple angles which is included on the DVD as a feature so that you can see Jonny on lead, Guy on bass, Will on drums and Chris all at the same time.
I feel I got far more than my money's worth at $18 for this set.
Free Music Review: I love it coz its Coldplay
Hit: 5 Stars
This is quality. I wasn't lucky enough to see them live on the rush of blood tour, and this is probably the next best thing. The concert DVD is the highlights of Parachutes and A Rush, and B-side One I Love, and new one Moses. I fell in love with the songs long ago, and they sound great live (especially A Rush Of Blood To The Head, the guitar at the beginning sounds better than on the album). The best thing is Chris having a go at dancing, in the words of NME, like a "rock and roll morris dancer". He's gorgeous though, and he's so sweet, you can see he's putting his soul into the performance. I think that's one of the reasons why I love Coldplay, they're so genuine and honest, and it really comes through in the live performance. The CD is OK too, good quality, but some real highlights left off. Still a 5 star effort, just coz it's Coldplay, (love the beginning of Yellow).Free Music Review: Jumping to conclusions!

Well, first things first:1. I am a coldplay fan.
2. This isn't a bias views.
This is a great CD/DVD. Its quite cool the way you can hear the crowds etc on the cd (no duh - it's recorded live), and it makes you feel more like you're acctually there. The dvd is really good, the lyrics options allow you to view single tracks of your choice which is great when you dont have long. The CD isn't compatible with all CD players etc but with the majority it'll play. It will play on computers, dvd players and most CD players, so you're safe.
The tracks chosen are a GREAT mix and the recording of "Everything's Not Lost" is BRILLIANT. I felt it was spoilt on Parachutes rather because of life is for living was on the end - YOU OUT THERE GUYS??? THEY'RE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! Yeah, this is one great dvd a must have for coldplay fans and people who just enjoy their music too!
Free Music Review: truly beautiful
Hit: 5 Stars
this music has depth and integrity. while their songs can be considered mainstream and "for the masses", they don't rely on the typical themes and riffs of pop music and that sets them apart. this music is refreshing beacause it isn't just words (which are amazing in and of themselves), it's beautiful guitar, piano, drums and an amazing voice to bring the songs to life. this music can make your spirit soar (clocks, everything's not lost), make tears fall (the scientist, amsterdam),remind you how absolutely beautiful life is (clocks, don't panic) or make you realize that there are things beyond the worlds we build around ourselves (politik, a rush of blood to the head). you can tell that coldplay as a band is passionate about the music they make and that shines through in its presentation. plus they're all really hot (ultra-super). I LOVE YOU JONNY!Free Music Review: A must have for any Coldplay fan

I love Coldplay so of course I purchased the live CD/DVD. I was not disappointed. Seeing the Scientist live was one of the most moving experiences. Chris' voice is so emotional that you find yourself singing along with him, helping him hit those high notes.A few notes:
*Yes, Gwyneth is in the DVD. She's in the part where Chris is doing yoga and also at the very end when they are leaving the concert.
*The reason Green Eyes is not played live anymore is because it was written for an old girlfriend of Chris' and he is trying to respect Gwyneth.
The boys are so down to earth. All of them. They seem shy by their sudden success and that makes them so likeable. The segment about Chris' Spanish shirt was particularly funny.
This DVD/CD is a must for a fan of Coldplay's waiting for their next album.
