Coldplay - Live 2003 (DVD & CD)

The two-disc set includes a 90-minute, nine-camera, super 16 live shoot taken from their July 21 and 22, 2003 performances at the Horden Pavilion in Sydney, Australia, as well as band commentary, a never before broadcast behind-the-scenes documentary, a special tour diary and the edited audio CD. The DVD and CD will also include two PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED live tracks- "The One I Love" and "Moses."
Customer Review: The best concert I never went to!!
I got the Coldplay 2003 DVD as a birthday present in '04. Coldplay's my favorite band, so you can imagine my excitement. Back in the days, I never thought I could ever be in a real concert of the band, I lived too far away from any place they toured. Almost four years later, I still think the DVD was the best concert in my life. That is, taking into consideration that I went to see them, against all odds, in NYC in 2006. It's not that the concert was bad, it was one of the best days in my life. It's that to me, the DVD is so good that I can't get enough of it. The band plays perfectly, the connection with the crowd is real, the choice of songs is fantastic, the sound is epic, the transitions that go along with songs, including colors, angles and views of the crowd and the band are nothing but exciting and bright. If there's any DVD I would ever recommend, it's this one. It's the closest you'll come to live the Coldplay experience if you haven't got the chance to live it already.
Customer Review: Wow. That's all I have to say.
Not only is the music CD great, but the DVD packs quite the punch. The only tiny thing that bugged me was how the CD didn't have every song off of the DVD, but I guess that's what makes the DVD that much better. If you like Coldplay, but this DVD, you will not regret it. Best $20 musical purchase I've made in a long time.


If you want to learn Spanish fast, you will have to be prepared to do a bit of work, but there are many ways in which you can speed up the learning process.

If you are planning a trip, you should have a look at a guide book of the area you'll be going to and buy a good phrase book and dictionary. Take a look at some Spanish language courses in your local book store, as these often include chapters about particular regions of Spain or Latin America. If you find one which covers the area you are visiting, this will save you a lot of time, as you'll be able to learn the Spanish names of main areas of town or countryside as well as street names and areas of interest to tourists. Of course, this is most likely to apply to main towns or tourist areas.

Pronunciation is extremely important if your main goal is to speak Spanish, but don't forget that you need to develop your listening as well, as being able to say all sorts of
things with perfect pronunciation will not get you far if don't understand the answers.

Listening is incredibly important and fortunately, thanks to modern technology, one of the easiest skills to practice. If you find an online course which has a large selection of audio lessons, which you can download in mp3 format, you can listen to these on your iPod. You don't even need to set aside time to do this, as listening repeatedly when you
have a few spare minutes will help enormously.

If you can't find someone local - no problem! Find someone in Spain or Latin America who will chat with you on Skype. It's a great way to help each other learn pronunciation and vocabulary and if you don't understand anything you can ask questions. Best of all -it's free! If you get on well, you can help each other with other aspects of the language, such as grammar, reading and writing. In the past, many people developed their language skills by writing to a penpal, but the internet has improved this method, allowing you to speak and listen as well as read, write and get instant feedback via email and Skype.

So if you want to learn Spanish fast, you no longer have to apply to college and wait weeks or months for the next class at your level to begin. Instead, you can make use of the resources available online - Spanish courses which you can download immediately and native speakers you can find and start chatting to very quickly.
