Product Description
From Amazon.com
Riding high on the phenomenal success of A Rush of Blood to the Head, Coldplay is in peak form on Coldplay Live 2003. This CD/DVD two-pack was filmed (on Super-16mm film) and recorded in Sydney's Horden Pavilion on July 21 and 22, 2003, during an exhaustive year-long world tour, and the medium-sized arena provides a fitting stage for the London-based rock quartet, not so grand as to overwhelm the music, but large enough to indicate their large and loyal following, which includes enthusiastic fans of either gender. Especially when played in DTS 5.1 surround, this 90-minute concert is richer, thicker, and (of course) louder than Coldplay's studio recordings, lending a wall-of-sound expansiveness to the band's signature sound, which draws from such diverse influences as Genesis, Pink Floyd, The Verve, U2, and their own unique sonic landscape. "Politik" gets the gig off to a rousing start, and other impressive highlights include "Daylight," "Yellow," the as-yet-unreleased new song "Moses," and the popular hits "In My Place," "Clocks," and "The Scientist." And while the concert visuals are slick and professional (perhaps placing a bit too much emphasis on singer/frontman Chris Martin), this DVD and CD--the latter containing a truncated 70-minute version of the same performance--are best appreciated for their pristine audio quality. Culled from 400 hours of home video, the 40-minute "concert diary" represents a wasted opportunity, enjoyable for hardcore fans but offering no insight into the band or its individual members. Much better, then, to play the concert at healthy high volume, and appreciate Coldplay in the prime of their young career. --Jeff Shannon

Coldplay- When is the next one coming out?,
By
This review is from: Coldplay Live (DVD)
This DVD is pretty good.I love coldplay and enjoy their music very much. The Live DVD features more of their "calmer" songs. I personally like a little more intensity from them and this particular DVD wasn't too intense. As always the music was great. The sound and picture is good as well. I would recommend this if you are a huge coldplay fan. I also can't wait until another DVD coems out with their newer music being featured in it!

Disappointing audio quality,
By
This review is from: Coldplay Live (DVD)
I'm a little shocked about the pile of reviews saying how amazing this sounds. Do yourself a favour and give this a critical listen for 30 seconds before you buy it.All midrange, with no real bass response, nor any brightness except from the crowd noise. The stereo (or surround, on the DVD) imaging is practically non-existent...might as well be in mono. The crowd noise, once again, is about the only thing that really grabs you. In fact, I'd say that this recording is on par with some of the audience-recorded bootlegs I have from this tour, not even a soundboard recording. Being a big Coldplay fan, I just wish the sound quality was anywhere near as good as the quality of the performances themselves.
