Man, 2003 Coldplay live was something to behold. No glitz, no glamour, no costumes, just 4 guys, their instruments and some of their most powerful and emotional songs. Don't get me wrong, I really do still enjoy Coldplay nowadays, but I feel these older shows just had something so special about them - something so organic. I don't think they've written anything in the last few years which even comes near to the emotional depth that many of the songs off A Rush Of Blood To The Head possessed.
Ross Parker I totally get you man I feel the same. I've loved coldplay's recent work, tbh some I needed to adjust to but I retract to this concert and I'm reminded what it first was like viewing and listening to this euphoric experience. Their live sound was top notch! Still is I've seen them three times live but I so wish I could revisit this concert in person. To me this is their best passionate and emotional performance
I used to agree with this. Chris martin said in an old interview that he wants to make people happy most of all. I think that's good. You don't like it, then don't listen. I'm personally not a huge fan either. But be happy for other people, no need to criticize everything you don't like. "cus in the end There's only love"
@@jack-uv6mt You know what a comment section is? A place where people can share their thoughts, opinions or feelings and if I feel the need to express it I'll do it. I don't listen their mainstream music but I will write my opinions whenever I f want...wtf is wrong with people?
Sloer Meutel we are out there man. Just because we aren't posting on UA-cam videos doesn't mean we aren't out there. I've showed this concert to many friends and new friends and they say it's touched them. For me this entire performance words don't do it justice. You listen and just let go wherever it may take you, euphoria
2 observations - in 2020, this has aged WELL. Second, this album was DARK. I think people forget how dark it was. This was what people were listening to in 2003.
wasnt the album a response to 911 and the political climate in the early noughties? also singing about his insecurities quite normal for a sensitive, young soul, dont you think? (:
I've been to their AHFOD tour last April and yeah, that was one of the best nights of my life. But upon hearing and watching this, I couldn't help but wish I could go back in time to witness this live - where there were no phones raising up, only thousands of pairs of ears listening to this real, authentic, and emotional performance. This is incomparable.
I absolutely miss this Coldplay era It meant so much to me in my childhood Used to listen 'talk' watching the stars in the garden before sleep I'll never forget
Oh, man! If you ever look for a thing/moment/place/anything who can explain what the most ruthless nostalgia feels like, is the Old Coldplay. It's like to remember how happy you was with your ex GF or former friends in the past. You know they are still out there. They are not dead. Maybe you can visit them, call them or send them a message, but you know there's no way things are going to be the same again. There's no way to turn back time. We know that Old Coldplay will never come back. Probably there are dozens of amazing songs that we never will listen live again. We know they are still out there, and at the same time we know it never gonna be the same again.
I listen to this with almost heartbreak. Coldplay have obviously evolved and FairPlay to em. I wish em all the best. But nothing tops what they were!! Unbelievable emotionally heart wrenching lyrics rockstars.
Yeah i saw them this October here in San Diego, crowd was fucking garbage, i was jumping up and down while everyone else was standing with their phones out, even Will complained at some point about it, Chris had to tell everyone to put their phones down
This is my favorite song of all time, and my wife and I danced to it towards the end of the night at our wedding reception. It will always be a beautiful memory for me.
@@JP-ut6gd I agree. Their sound since "Every teardrop..." started their inevitable decline. It is almost the same story with Muse since that Twilight song.
I miss the good old days when people really enjoy the concert instead of enjoying it through their phones :’( And this song is so beautifully written.. “He said I’m gonna buy a gun and start a war, if you could tell me something worth fighting for”
Imagine how poignant that was in 2002-3. The post 9/11 years. The Afghanistan years. The Bush/Blair years. I went to the London and Brighton gigs for this tour. I wish everyone got to experience Coldplay like this. ROBTTH is an undefeated Coldplay album.
I was so lucky to hear this great song on the AHFOD tour, foro sol 2016, Mexico City . I started notice that I was the only one on my section singing the whole song. It was beautiful! : , )
I don't care if these type of songs didn't attract the massive amount of people that My Universe does but it was the kind of songs that fascinated me from Coldplay 🥰😍
wow i miss this so much. This is so unreal I don't know whether to cry or smile watching in the end a bit of both. This brings back so many troubling/amazing memories of when I was a teenager and moved country and the pain I went through as I listened to this album but also a comforting pain.
I still can’t believe I got to see them play this song live 2 years ago when I went to their AHFOD tour in Mexico 🇲🇽 ❤️ best moment in the entire concert. Although it was a shame to look around me and see so many confused folks that didn’t even know the song smh :/
That’s so cool. It must’ve been so disconcerting for people who only know the modern stuff. This song is my favorite, but it’s so much darker and more foreboding than any of their modern songs.
When I was a teenager, I started listening to music with Coldplay and I still listen to only the first and second albums. I miss them before getting Grammys, who was not a superstar.
Después de mucho mucho tiempo de no escuchar esta canción la recordé no se porque y aquí estoy sintiendo escalofríos como la primera vez que la escuché! Para mí la mejor canción del live 2003, es una joya!!
“So meet me by the bridge, meet me by the lane; When am I gonna see that pretty face again; Meet me on the road, meet me where I said; Blame it all upon; A rush of blood to the head” 💓 (Ah. That rush of blood to the head. The craziness of love. And lust. The frantic beauty of falling hard...)
de todas sus canciones.... esta es la mejor... es la esencia misma de la música británica así tan agobiante, tan depresiva, tan under, con ese solo de guitarra, que te manda a la lona una y otra vez. ..... UN TEMON...que bueno que esta canción no sea comercial..... Saludos
[Lyric] He said I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down I'm gonna put it six feet underground He said I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall Stand here beside me baby, in the crumbling walls Oh, I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire Stand here until I fill all your heart's desires Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn Do back the things it did to you in return Ah, ah, ah, ah He said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war If you can tell me something worth fighting for Oh, and I'm gonna buy this place, that's what I said Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head Honey, all the movements you're starting to make See me crumble and fall on my face And I know the mistakes that I made See it all disappear without a trace And they call as they beckon you on They said start as you mean to go on Start as you mean to go on He said I'm gonna buy this place and see it go Stand here beside my baby, watch the orange glow Some'll laugh and some just sit and cry You just sit down there and you wonder why So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war If you can tell me something worth fighting for And I'm gonna buy this place, that's what I said Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head Oh, to the head Honey, all the movements you're starting to make See me crumble and fall on my face And I know the mistakes that I made See it all disappear without a trace And they call as they beckon you on They say start as you mean to go on As you mean to go on, as you mean to go on So meet me by the bridge, meet me by the lane When am I gonna see that pretty face again Meet me on the road, meet me where I said Blame it all upon A rush of blood to the head
I really wish this song was used in Joker's ending scene, as he's in the police car looking at all the chaos. I mean, lyrics like "I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn, do back all the things it did to you in return" and "I'm gonna buy a gonna gun and start a war" just describe the moment perfectly. All that chaos started with Arthur having a gun, and he got back at the city for everything he went through in there. I feel like it's that there's a kind of peace in chaos that very few things in life can transmit, but this song and that scene really achieve it!
Seeing Coldplay in Marley Park, Dublin, early 2000, I wanted to hear this song so much - for me, it is just pure Coldplay at their best. Aside, the concert was amazing, and like others who have commented on here, I am hooked on their first 3 albums...
Please help back to writing songs like this. Parachutes changed my life, but the latest stuff just winds me up. So much talent spent writing songs for the masses and labels. Come on guys please get back to this 🙏

Perfect.
Ross Parker I would always regret what I missed! And I never knew the band as CP which live as good as studio..better!
Ross Parker ROBTTH is one of the best albums ever created
They cannot seem to beat these older songs from ROBTH. Simply beautiful and dreamlike.
Parachutes, A Rush of Blood to The Head and X&Y... that's what Coldplay really is. Miss this old days.
thefolkloric this it's the best comment here. those 3 albums are pure art
Can't agree more. I hope one day Chris Martin can understand that.
Why tf do the idiots in these comment sections always dismiss Viva La Vida?? That album was 100% their creative peak.
thefolkloric Also the album "Castles" expresses the original essence of Coldplay
totally agree, the trident
This song is the greatest Coldplay song, no question in my mind
You're right Neptune boy
this and Violet Hill
Specially this live version
I agree
Jorn Erik BASED!! I was thinking the exact same thing!
I'll always be in love with this sad, dark, simplistic era of Coldplay rather than the happy, colorful and presumptuous band that is right now.
I feel like nowdays they’re more focused on the spectacle and the public, but backdays the passion and the music. I really miss acoustic instruments.
@@blackbird4787 Absolutely...acoustic guitar and piano was their natural habitat.
i think both forms of the band are really good tbh but i would like to see darker songs soon
I used to agree with this.

Who’s hearing this beautiful melody in 2024
Fuck this song is AMAZING live.
shits all over the studio version, don't it?
I'm in love with Jonny's work. What a man.
You’re quite lovely yourself miss 👀
i cant stop replaying 3:08 jonny had me descended
If only the guitar solo was on the album recording.
They made a live album.
the amazing part of Jonny and this solo is that every show of the rush tour he did a different solo!
I want someone to make a live edit of this version of A Rush of Blood To The Head
@@ThrillsofColdplay explain what u mean to me!
@@sweeps42 0:00 0:34
Only old Coldplayers love this master piece
man that guitar solo just kicks you, so much reverb, so much feel...
Right
Can't stop listening this masterpiece.
Well said!!! Truly a masterpiece!!!
I’ve always come back to it
Jonny Buckland on the guitar, Ladies and gents.
3:15 Jonny's eerie slide solo is 11/10
the moment you realized live version is mich better than studio version. goosebumps lol.
All the best bands are better live .fact
Haha 😂 exactly
These are one of the very FEW bands that can pull this off. They certainly did! Pink Floyd would have to be up there.
I agree and this is exactly how you recognize a true and magical bands
@@serge933 radio head aswell always very good
Buckland magic sounds
Far from being a top notch skilled guitarist, still one of my favorite top 10 guitar players. Hearing his rifts takes me really high.
Oh man, I miss their old style, no synths, only these magic sounds.
Please Coldplay come back to this!
Simplicity is everything!
Their new album everyday life
Yeah, I honestly like how humble the stage is. It’s just Coldplay playing music, and you just vibe to them.
I wish more people could enjoy this music instead of the crap that's on the radio nowadays..
Sloer Meutel I know right
Sloer Meutel we are out there man. Just because we aren't posting on UA-cam videos doesn't mean we aren't out there. I've showed this concert to many friends and new friends and they say it's touched them. For me this entire performance words don't do it justice. You listen and just let go wherever it may take you, euphoria
they're the crap in the radio nowadays
Marcelo Duarte What radio station are you listening to? I only ever hear VlV on the radio if they play at all. Would love to hear more coldplay lol
If only Coldplay would still make songs like this....their current stuff is rubbish in my eyes. I used to love going to their shows....
2 observations - in 2020, this has aged WELL. Second, this album was DARK. I think people forget how dark it was. This was what people were listening to in 2003.
wasnt the album a response to 911 and the political climate in the early noughties? also singing about his insecurities quite normal for a sensitive, young soul, dont you think? (:
@@headfullofmusic422 Yes. Especially, the album opener "Politik" was written in the immediate aftermath of 9/11
Definitely. Would love for Coldplay to do something like this in another album soon. Politik was written like 2 days after 9/11.
Some of their new songs are dark
Hands down my favourite Coldplay album. They never topped this one in my opinion.
This performance really is something else. Especially 03:09 gives me the goosebumps each time.
17 years later and the lyrics for this song take on a whole new meaning.
The complete song is very haunting, especially with this guitar play. I wish that, they were record the song in this version.
My brain hurts from trying to read this
They hv released a live album of their tour
They did, its called Live in Sydney
@@davefan16 same
The sound of the dude playing slide guitar is genuinely one of the best guitar tones I’ve ever heard
Some of Jonny bucklands finest work for sure
The guitar intro gave me some murderer vibes
Murder lol song by coldplay
So so good. The REAL Coldplay
Jonny boy ! ruled this one ! pure magic ,pure emotion!
Still amazing after 17 years. I'd wish they would be more rock/ prog again instead of light pop.
agreed.
Agreed x2
Agreed (3)
Coloratura is pretty prog tho
Try 20
damn, those solos are still loud in 2017
Sounds better in live version
can't believe it's been 20, not 10 years! Early coldplay rocks.
their best concert ever
I've been to their AHFOD tour last April and yeah, that was one of the best nights of my life.

Christian Ray Faustino well said it’s all part of the evolution
Been to the one in Cleveland your not wrong my friend
I absolutely miss this Coldplay era It meant so much to me in my childhood
Used to listen 'talk' watching the stars in the garden before sleep I'll never forget

We all literally need A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD every f*cking day! This albun is pure GOLD!
I would love to feel the atmosphere of that moment. There must have been something unique and unrepeatable that night.
when coldplay goes pink floyd on you *.*
Can you recommend a Pink Floyd song similar to this please?
Listen to the whole album Dark Side of the Moon.
+FANtasy121 echoes is another one you should check out
the intro sounds a lot like wish you were here but a half step up
Try to listen "Time" and "Breathe (in the Air)" from "the Dark Side of the Moon" and song "Wish You Were Here"
This song is underrated.
the guitar is so pink Floyd in places. love it
theoneandonly690 Yeah! Someone looks! Shine on you crazy diamond
I listen to this with almost heartbreak. Coldplay have obviously evolved and FairPlay to em. I wish em all the best. But nothing tops what they were!! Unbelievable emotionally heart wrenching lyrics rockstars.
This will forever be my favorite coldplay performance. Pure, raw emotion and talent.
That guitar is giving me Pink Floyd vibes, and I love it!
Same ❤
Never gets old..never gets bored...always stunning!..epic era of Coldplay...
bone chilling. This song is something
Crazy looking at the crowd and not seeing one cellphone out. Wish it was still like that.
RECKLESSnYOUNG1 you do have to think, this was 2003
Yeah i saw them this October here in San Diego, crowd was fucking garbage, i was jumping up and down while everyone else was standing with their phones out, even Will complained at some point about it, Chris had to tell everyone to put their phones down
Man!
@@Gentamoru I was at that same concert and I completely agree
@@Gentamoru what did will say?
Their greatest song, performed to perfection. Not prepared to change my mind.
shame they never play this song anymore. it’s such a damn good song. johnny's guitar work in this is heavenly.
Probably the best Coldplay era. It's a real shame that I was only 4 years old at this time.
I agree. I was 7. Makes me sad I can’t go to a Coldplay concert like this. I still love them, but their newer music isn’t my favorite.
Lol same man but come back to their first 3 albums so often
This is my favorite song of all time, and my wife and I danced to it towards the end of the night at our wedding reception. It will always be a beautiful memory for me.
Unreal. Coldplay back then was a masterpiece.
the golden era of coldplay ♥️
Parachutes, Rush of Blood to the Head & X&Y are their best albums. Don’t really care for the others. Wish they still did music like this
Viva la vida Is pretty damn good, it all went downfall in Mylo Xyloto tho
Imagine thinking Viva or Mylo is trash. Y’all probably haven’t even fully listened to both albums.
@@JP-ut6gd I agree. Their sound since "Every teardrop..." started their inevitable decline. It is almost the same story with Muse since that Twilight song.
I miss the good old days when people really enjoy the concert instead of enjoying it through their phones :’(
And this song is so beautifully written..
“He said I’m gonna buy a gun and start a war, if you could tell me something worth fighting for”
Imagine how poignant that was in 2002-3. The post 9/11 years. The Afghanistan years. The Bush/Blair years.
I went to the London and Brighton gigs for this tour. I wish everyone got to experience Coldplay like this. ROBTTH is an undefeated Coldplay album.
I was going to write the same comment ...good point
I was so lucky to hear this great song on the AHFOD tour, foro sol 2016, Mexico City . I started notice that I was the only one on my section singing the whole song. It was beautiful! : , )
One of the most underrated song ever
The good old days when coldplay made music for the sake of music, and not for the producers
Yeah 😔 Just pure emotion
Best damn coldplay performance era ever!
This song is so underestimated.
I don't care if these type of songs didn't attract the massive amount of people that My Universe does but it was the kind of songs that fascinated me from Coldplay 🥰😍
I always feel like standing atop the tallest mountain looking into a sunset sky when the chorus comes in.
The piano at the end is a nice touch.
I feel like walking through your home town while it's in fire and ashes is more suiting lol
I've got a DVD in 2004 of this Live and this song still my favorite since that date
why this is so good? i just can’t stop replaying this song!
This song is on another level! Seriously! Massive Respect :')
wow i miss this so much. This is so unreal I don't know whether to cry or smile watching in the end a bit of both. This brings back so many troubling/amazing memories of when I was a teenager and moved country and the pain I went through as I listened to this album but also a comforting pain.

Diablos, yo si hubiese gritado a madres si comenzaba a escuchar el inicio en vivo, no suelen tocarla muy seguido :(
any chance there is a live recording of this on the internet??
That’s so cool. It must’ve been so disconcerting for people who only know the modern stuff. This song is my favorite, but it’s so much darker and more foreboding than any of their modern songs.
coldplay just need to surprise us and come back down to this level. Come back to your roots guys. I miss this.
wow, that guitar player is amazing.
Johnny :)
When I was a teenager, I started listening to music with Coldplay and I still listen to only the first and second albums. I miss them before getting Grammys, who was not a superstar.
1:40 this... and this 3:08...
I love the guitar feels man.
Muse does that on a daily basis
guys please don't compare every band is unique I love both coldplay & muse...
Guntur Wiralaksana No one likes Muse.
Lol, salute to the greatest Alternative Rock Band in this generation, alongside with Radiohead. At least we didn't turn to pop.
Who made the mistake to mix Jonny's guitar so quiet in the album version?
This is almost a whole new song live with the piano at the end omg so killer. The album version is so much darker which makes it just as good
It’s not quiet at at all, what are you talking about? He’s just playing extra slide patterns in this live version.
It's a different type of guitar, and it's not quiet
Después de mucho mucho tiempo de no escuchar esta canción la recordé no se porque y aquí estoy sintiendo escalofríos como la primera vez que la escuché! Para mí la mejor canción del live 2003, es una joya!!
Best live intro of A Rush of Blood to the Head
This never gets old, Coldplay at its best form

Those 2 first albums where the best they made
What I always liked about this song is that its very... angry... in a very sad way.
Absolute masterpiece. Genuinely can’t stop listening to it.
Este video significa tanto para mi...🤍🇵🇪
"...I'm going to buy a gun and start a war..if you can tell me worth fighting for..."
I wish in another life i’m 20 yo in 2003 and listen to this masterpiece
[Lyric]
He said I'm gonna buy this place and burn it down
I'm gonna put it six feet underground
He said I'm gonna buy this place and watch it fall
Stand here beside me baby, in the crumbling walls
Oh, I'm gonna buy this place and start a fire
Stand here until I fill all your heart's desires
Because I'm gonna buy this place and see it burn
Do back the things it did to you in return
Ah, ah, ah, ah
He said I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
Oh, and I'm gonna buy this place, that's what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
Honey, all the movements you're starting to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I made
See it all disappear without a trace
And they call as they beckon you on
They said start as you mean to go on
Start as you mean to go on
He said I'm gonna buy this place and see it go
Stand here beside my baby, watch the orange glow
Some'll laugh and some just sit and cry
You just sit down there and you wonder why
So I'm gonna buy a gun and start a war
If you can tell me something worth fighting for
And I'm gonna buy this place, that's what I said
Blame it upon a rush of blood to the head
Oh, to the head
Honey, all the movements you're starting to make
See me crumble and fall on my face
And I know the mistakes that I made
See it all disappear without a trace
And they call as they beckon you on
They say start as you mean to go on
As you mean to go on, as you mean to go on
So meet me by the bridge, meet me by the lane
When am I gonna see that pretty face again
Meet me on the road, meet me where I said
Blame it all upon
A rush of blood to the head
The lyrics, the guitar it's almost magical they penetrate quite deep.
to the deepest core indeed
Man o man. What have they become now! Old Coldplay songs make me understand how important art is in our lives. Now they've become just too mainstream.
Prime Chris Martin's live performance was something else😭 I was still a toddler during the years though but I just know how much i love Coldplay
I really wish this song was used in Joker's ending scene, as he's in the police car looking at all the chaos.

A melhor música dos anos 2000. O solo mais lindo da década.
Lástima que no lo grabaron para la versión de estudio, una pena la verdad

Wow. This performance was in the same year that I was born. Coldplay is just such an amazing band!
parachutes and a rush of blood to the head are the best albums
