Live 2003 is the first live album by the British rock band Coldplay. It was released on 10 November 2003 by Parlophone in the United Kingdom.[1] However, Capitol Records made it available on 4 November 2003 in the United States,[2] with screenings at select theaters being held a day before as well.[3] Featuring the shows filmed at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion on 21 and 22 July 2003, the album marks the group's second live project after Trouble – Norwegian Live EP (2001).

It was nominated for Best Long Form Music Video at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards,[4] and named one of the greatest releases of the year by Blender.[5] 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,[6] born in 2006.[7] It was sent to alternative radio stations in the United States as a promotional single on 6 October,[8] while the recording of "Clocks" had a promotional push in countries such as Mexico and Spain.[9]
