Definately the best second Coldplay purchase,
By
This review is from: Trouble: Norwegian Live Ep (Audio CD)
As with all of the live Coldplay stuff I have heard the renditions of their songs are pretty straightforward; however, as with all live music it has an energy that is only felt when a band is on stage. Chris uses his voice to accent songs bringing the majority of their uniqueness and variation. Audience participation is sparse, but a fun addition when it can be heard. The recording quality on this recording is B+ for a live rock concert. Could stand to be tightened up a little bit, and I don't think the concert went without a clip or two (Shiver is the least amiable of the tracks.) In the end this CD is for Coldplay fans, collectors, or people who just buy too many CD's, such as myself. But I promise that you won't be disappointed with the purchase. This is an excellent live performance and is a fun rediscovery of one of our new favorite bands.

Coldplay at Peak Live Performance,
By
This review is from: Trouble: Norwegian Live Ep (Audio CD)
This 5 songs CD, recorded in December 2000 in Olso, brings us Coldplay in peak live performance."Trouble" is a faithful version of the "Parachutes" track, wiht Chris at piano. The song remains one of Coldplay's better tracks. "Shiver" finds Chris at accoustic guitar. Because of the layered instrumentation found on the "Parachutes" studio version, this live version sounds quite different. The energy jumps out at you. Before starting "Sparks", Chris dedicates the song "especially to the guys that don't have a girlfriend", after which he starts questions some guys in the audience whether they have a G/F. Finally ("Do all Norewegians have girlfriends or are they just lying?" Chris jokes), he finds someone without a G/F, and Christ jumps in the song. At times, I thought Chris would not be able to reach all the heights of the tune live, but he did. "Yellow" gets the greatest applause from the audience, of course, but otherwise is a straight rendering, no more, no less. Before starting the last song, Chris asks for the audience's help to sing the last part of "Everything's Not Lost". Chris then takes a false start to the song, prompting him to start over. Coming towards the end of the song, rather than ending with a crescendo, we hear the audience repeating the last verses as the band is heard leaving the stage. Beautiful! This CD is a fantastic memento for anyone that's been to a Coldplay concert recently. For those not so lucky, it is a superb live record, period. Good value too: at 25+ min., it runs (almost) half of an actual concert (the show I saw on their recent US tour ran barely over a hour). Finally, the sound quality is superb as well. BUY IT!

Buy it, just do yourself a favour and buy it.,
By Susan Segal "Alex" (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trouble: Norwegian Live Ep (Audio CD)
A little while back I was at a Sunrise Records here in Canada, and I saw this item in a used bin selling 2 for $12. At first I looked at it and thought about buying it before putting it down. I bought my other purchases and left the store. However, I couldn't stop thinking about this Ep. It was intriguing for a few reasons, I had never heard of it before, it had all of the best songs from the first album, and it was relativity cheap. I decided what's the harm and went back to the store and bought it.I definitely made the right choice. The sound quality is amazing and all of the songs sound great. Like one of the other reviewers said, Chris's singing isn't 100% perfect the entire time, but I really think that adds to the songs. If you see this, buy it. I can honestly say this is the best live Coldplay I have heard whether in comparison to their other live releases or seeing them live in concert.
