Summary: One of the best concert DVD's
Review: I was a casual Coldplay fan. That is, what I knew of them was from the radio. I had always thought that the songs I heard were pretty good. After reading the reviews, I decided, "What the heck, I'll go ahead and check it out". Thank goodness I did. What a great concert DVD!Concerning bad sound quality: I didn't hear anything that stood out noticibly. It sounded great to me. Concerning 'artsy' camera work: I could see it taking some people a bit to get used to. The camera definitely does not stay put for more than 4 seconds, but the effect it creates is really cool I thought. I really enjoyed it. It seemed as if there were 20+ angles used on each song. But, if you're not expecting this and want the camera to just stay put, you might be irked. Overall, I love watching the concert. Each song could literally be put out as a video. I have watched it about 5 times over the past 2 months and love turning it on when it's late and I'm in the mood to crank the music. It's a very dark concert and the effect is complete with the camerawork. Wow, if you are looking for a live concert DVD and you enjoy Coldplay even casually, buy this for your collection. You won't be disappointed. Thank you Coldplay!

Summary: ColdPlay DVD a stunning achievement!
Review: I wondered if it was possible to sound so polished live...? Well, having seen Coldplay live twice it's not often I am blown away by a bands energy, meloday and vocals (we love you Chris). I was delighted to see how well the DVD brings this all out. With amazing editing techniques you feel that the camera is flowing with the bands tempo. The close up camera angles show the human side to the band and the clever use of color and B&W keeps it fresh. For anyone who has heard of Coldplay or never been fortunate enough to see them live, this is as good as it gets to being at the concert! And believe me they are bloody good!

Summary: Amazing DVD
Review: I would describe myself as a fan. This DVD is far better than I even hoped it would be. This is almost better than a live performance -- and the group's live concerts are the best with a sound quality not captured on regular CDs. A great addition to any Coldplay collection or any current rock/pop collection. The version of "Clocks" on the DVD is superb.

Summary: A Pleasant Surprise ....
Review: I'll be the first to admit, I'm nothing more than a casual fan of Coldplay. But I am in the process of building a collection of Concert DVD's, so when this came out I figured, "Why Not ?" Let me tell you, this package ROCKS ! From the first track of the DVD I was hooked. Chris Martin's presence onstage is impressive to behold, and the passion with which he & his bandmates rip thru their material is stunning. The crowd is amazing as well, and the feeling of excitement is heightened by the quick cuts between cameras. As I said, this is my first exposure to Coldplay outside of what's on the Radio, so the only material I really knew was "Politik","The Scientist", and "Clocks." All were represented well, especially the latter. Add to this the fact that you get nearly the entire concert on a companion Audio CD, all for around $15 and you have a set that you cannot beat for the price. I'm thoroughly impressed & look forward to Coldplay's future releases. So if you're even the slightest bit curious about this band, pick up this DVD ASAP.

Summary: Next Best Thing to Being There!
Review: I'm a huge Coldplay fan and have been waiting for this DVD ever since I saw them in Phoenix earlier this year. I just got the DVD today and couldn't be happier. This is not just another concert video. The editing is clean, crisp, and is rivaled only by the audio quality. The bonus features and included audio cd make it perhaps the best concert DVD in my collection. Get this DVD!

Summary: Pretentious or lack of talent. Just the same!
Review: If you think you'll be watching a concert, you'll be disappointed. This is not a concert. This is the result of an MTV era. It's the classic cut and cut until you see nothing. The typical lack of talent for filming a concert. It seems nowadays they don't know how to film a concert anymore. The band is great as usual but a concert on DVD is supposed to be just that. A concert! Not a video-clip! Why would I watch that? I just play the CD.

Summary: REVIEW OF THE CD, NOT THE DVD
Review: Ok, so one of my fav. bands releases a Live cd. The question follows:
what for?
are they going to be singing new songs?
are they reinventing some of their songs?
will they show that they can "loose it" if they want to? One of my first impressions on this Coldplay cd is that they believe in the saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I mean, Yellow has a new beginning, Clocks has a more definitive ending, but that's about it. See you Soon is executed the same way as it has been for the past 4 years, In My Place is EXACTLY the same as the studio version. It is plain to see that songs like Everything's not lost can last 9 minutes (like in this live version), but it is NECESSARY to improvise a little bit; otherwise the song is simply too long for nothing. A Rush of Blood to the Head starts with a Pink Floydish instrumentation, but soon every part of the band starts "copying" the original version. There is one new song called Moses which is fairly good, but too U2 sounding. It is really catchy though, but we already know that Coldplay is about catchiness; it would be interesting to see if there's more to them than that. Songs like Clocks or Daylight (which is not in this cd) certainly prove so. See you soon is a very beautiful song and we can forgive them if they play it as originally invented. But One I love... what's the point of excluding classics like Trouble and The Scientist and including that song?! I mean, imagine a medley that mixed the 2 aforementioned songs and tell me which of the options is more exciting... I rate this 3 starts simply because the songs are absolutely mesmerizing. But that's not merit of LIVE 2003 CD, but of PARACHUTES and A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD. Pd. Not to mention the fact that this cd was not necessary at this VERY early stage of their career, specially since they were not planning to do what I have suggested in the paragraphs above.
