Reviews Customer Reviews for Coldplay Live 2003      Coldplay proves to be a young yet mature band.      Rating:      For a relatively new band they put on a very deep and moving performance. You will give some of their best songs a second take into how well written and meaningful they are. To visually impress me its not all about having the biggest and most expensive stage. Moreso it is how the stage and lighting are used. I highly recommend you youtube "Coldplay Politik Live 2003 DVD" and you will see how effective the lighting show complements the music. Plus - I bought about 15 music DVD's and this one was the cheapest for me!     Customer Reviews for Coldplay Live 2003 Cd      Amazing      Rating:      As you can read in the one and two star reviews, they talk about the camera going all over the place and that the director should never do anything again. All though the camera is kind of all over the place, it in no way takes anything away from the band and its music. I personally do not think it is that bad, but it could be better, as all things can be. If you like coldplay, you will love this dvd. Clocks live is spectacular. Editorial Reviews for Coldplay Live 2003 Audio Cd      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
