Blood to the Head. 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 a 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 both genders.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

I bought this without really knowing what I was getting, so I was sort of heading into the unknown. I had no idea what Coldplay were like live. Was this going to be amazing? Or could it be that it was only OK?
As a band, Coldplay have come out with stadium filling tunes such as Clocks, Yellow and The scientist. Live, they do tend to sound the same as on record, but the band are clearly putting their all into the live show, and the lighting set is quite a sight as well. It's amazing to see the fans join in on singalong songs like In My Place, and Yellow.
This is a good live show, if not an excellent one, if only because the band would probably be better just experimenting a little with the live sound in the way that Radiohead do. This brings diversity, and the knowledge that you won't get the same song twice in live shows.
The bonus disc contains a 40 minute backstage diary, which follows the band around the world on the tour. It includes an excellent snippet of a fast rock version of Trouble, as well as samples of live gigs from other venues.
Advantages: brings every aspect of the concert into your living room. Disadvantages: a bit out of date now, as there is a new album since.
...a great gift to any coldplay lover. I cant wait for the next concert DVD to come out (if there is ever one) with their new album - and maybe the forthcoming one? :)
hope this helped.
