Live 2003 is the first live album by the British rock band Coldplay, featuring shows recorded at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion on 21 and 22 July 2003.[7] It was released on 4 November 2003 by Capitol in the United States and on 10 November 2003 by Parlophone in the United Kingdom.[8][9] Screenings were held at select theaters the day prior.[10] The album marks the group's second live project after Trouble – Norwegian Live EP (2001).

The album was nominated for Best Long Form Music Video at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards,[11] and named one of the greatest releases of the year by Blender.[12] The song "Moses", exclusive to the album, was written about Chris Martin's then-wife Gwyneth Paltrow and inspired the name of their second child,[13] born in 2006.[14] It was sent to alternative radio stations in the United States as a promotional single on 6 October,[15] while the recording of "Clocks" had a promotional push in countries such as Mexico and Spain.

Commercial performance

Live 2003 debuted at number 13 on the US Billboard 200, with 71,224 copies sold.[16] It entered the UK Music Video Chart at number 2 upon release.[17] However, the set only reached the UK Albums Chart five years later, at number 73.[18] Coldplay rose to number 60 and peaked at number 46 with 5,164 copies sold afterwards, boosted by Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends (2008).[19]
