Coldplay Politik Live @ Glastonbury 2002

[repytadnoh02k]

the new coldplay its garbage

[pikeflyfisherman]

the dissapointment of the new album has left me feeling very under-whelmed ! Its good music but its not great, not like the first three albums ! I can't bring myself to love it. Coldplay, bring back this kind of music !!!!!

[Poopflash123]

I freaken love this song!-3

His voice is so amazing!

[ivanlovesfestivals]

I was there as well , I was not a fan but stayed with mates near the front, and yes when the song kicked in I was blown away totally , even without the chemicals and Faithless beforehand , it would still have been an epic unforgettable moment - Peace and Love

[GarthTater]

I was at this gig. I was no fan of Coldplay before I saw them and I was baffled as to why they were above Failthless on the bill, but this performance blew me away... it's probably one of the best live sets I've seen. Incredible.

[allriseblue]

@PrimaryJoe and so they did? do you like it?

[bremex]

This is the Coldplay I fell in love with.

[Emmasian4]

Just amazing! My favourite Coldplay track. It's so different for them. Can't wait to see them next year, excited already!

[louisward11]

Give me love over this <3 what a line!

[DustinHoltz]

i don't care how simple this is, it's amazing. not even they can write something like this anymore

[starsweet4]

creepy song. but i like it.. much better than their newer stuff

[WOLFSUCKSIHATETHEM]

....somebody give me the mp3 to that epic, ambient music before they started. xD

[VGerring]

Unbelievable! And the album wasn't even out. This is my best Coldplay track ever.

[heinkle1]

@VGerring Energy, emotion, goosebumps!

[rhadoolinho]

4:23 pure perfection

[EduCajas]

Siempre que la escucho se me pone la piel de gallina desde el minuto 3:54 realmente fantástico

[a4senal101]

i swear this wasnt released until 2003 D:0

[JoeyDPro2009]

@a4senal101 well you're wrong i'm afraid

[VGerring]

@a4senal101 No need to swear. Rush of Blood to The Head was released in August, 2 months after this performance.

[SirOliverCH]

no better way to start a concert imho

[Tacadoband]

this song reminds me of muse for some reason :P

[pikeflyfisherman]

@Tacadoband Chris wanted a song in similarity to Meglomania, so he wrote this, and probably topped it :)

[IaxobusJames]

@pikeflyfisherman the one by Muse?

[pikeflyfisherman]

@IaxobusJames yepp, Chris heard it and thought it was brilliant and wanted a song as powerful as Meglomania, step forward Politik :)

[a4senal101]

@Tacadoband 'twisted logic' from X&Y is loads like muse aswell :) is such a good song :)

[TH05]

hopefully the new album is all like charlie brown not every teardrop

[jaypens92]

this is awesome!!!! although if their new album is anything like the single they released then their new stuff won't be so awesome.....that being said Chris's face from about 4:30 onward says it all :)

[Dancing4Coldplay]

I want to be like Chris Martin when I grow up :)

[Vipnonyarg]

It was the first time they performed the new album live as well. I was near the sound tower on musheez :))

[layne2828]

I'm not a big fan of Coldplay, but this song is so fucking good

[floorah05]

@TimothyK121 Agreed. Totally.

[olavm91]

If Coldplay made a best of album today it should look like this: 1. In My Place 2. Yellow 3. The Scientist 4. Fix You 5. Viva La Vida 6. Speed Of Sound 7. Trouble 8. Talk 9. Clocks 10. Dont Panic 11. Violet Hill 12. Politik (live)

[zkiller67]

@olavm91 i would have wanted this too!if he makes an acoustic of all the mentioned!

[TimothyK121]

i think this is their best song ever

[axecold]

THIS IS COLDPLAY. not "every shit is a WC"...

[0o0ocoldplay0o0o]

I was there on that day, wow, they played different songs than what they used to play back then, can't believe this is on the net.

[TheWileycyote95]

@PrimaryJoe Lets hope that iy would be better than Viva La Vida

[TheBlackMessiah]

our minds are made with the hunger for the only real thing in a fake world, LOVE

[TheBlackMessiah]

Our minds are made with the hunger for the only real thing in a fake world, love

[desertcrash]

@PrimaryJoe doesn't matter...... they've already reached the level of genius.

[aleniz]

my fav coldplay song ever!

[Rhbkwe16]

Goosebumps... :)

[smileychick99]

Coldplay ILOVEYOUU!!!

[9t9t3]

[5abbyfaulkners54]

[FineKdust]

MY FAVORITE SONG ABOUT COLPLAY

[pinkangelxxxx]

missed them in 2002, can't wait to see them this year! roll on gasto 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pinkangelxxxx]

Missed them in 2002, can't wait to see them this! glasto 2011 hear we come!!!!!!!

[gmojeo22]

Yeah, i love them and I´ll see them at RIR !!!! again!!!!

[WILLEMvdh1]

it's just ridiculous that 11 people dislike this.

[icewhere]

10 people totally dumb

[lovecoldplay100]

i hope them to take a new album

[theNoahTree]

Brilliant, just brilliant.

[TheRafael42]

That's just epic!

What those people were thinking when saw that? After all that was before the realese of A Rush Of Blood To The Head, i guess they ere expecting something like Yellow, than they hear that!

[deigismon]

i hope they play this song on rock in rio 4.

[vintagegt]

I was there!

[turu921]

Para mi gusto...puede que sea el mejor tema de ésta excelente banda!

La fuerza y la nostalgia en una sola canción!!!

[antonio2048]

when they play this song in Ciudad de México, i cry whiout control

[Eorgae]

monotonous 

[axcertypo]

@Eorgae awesome

[ovebabii30001]

interessant, bin total Interesseig drauf noch ein netter Mann wäre nicht schlecht

[derekschristensen]

i like the part where will is continually raping his cymbals....oh wait. that happens the entire song.

[Kobeownzu81]

@derekschristensen word. he uses the crash cymbals perfectly. not a very fancy drummer, but his drum parts are always fantastic. powerful but not loud and obnoxious

[Tomahawk1505]

how cool does will look in this!

[312italiano]

It saddens me that everytime it pans to the crowd, they are standing still, frozen. This song has some much energy, they should be bouncing off the walls. FEEL THE MUSIC!

[Bluebarcode]

@312italiano I´d stand there, with my hands in the air, and scream it all out. And i bet, some tears could roll down my cheek, tears of happiness!

[bigjokk]

@312italiano

only thing i would say in the crowds defence is that the majority of the set was for there second album which had not been released yet so the crowd was unfamiliar with the song,

[RecordSkateboards]

oh my god 

[csiew88]

epic

[EyeFangirlLife]

I'm trying to imagine being a fan of Coldplay back in 2002, knowing them mostly from their songs off of Parachutes and maybe even seeing them at Glastonbury in 2000, performing the songs they did then .... and then being there in 2002 and seeing THIS open up their set list. Simply fucking incredible. So, so incredible.

[Tomahawk1505]

@EyeFangirlLife you said it girl!!

[wayyoulaugh]

i will never forget when coldplay came to brazil <3 omg, they need to come back!

[maxkauf]

This song brings back memories of carefree dorm sex. So basically, this song is awesome.

[khryzalid7]

thk god i can hear!!!!!!!!!!

[oldsynth]

my alltime fave tune, next to square one......stunning ending and a fantastic middle eight!!

[N0va19]

It makes me sad that I was only 12 and lived on a different continent when this happened. I wish I could go back in time and be there :(

[jamievosmus]

i was there....it was amazing.

[maxkauf]

@jamievosmus Was the whole breakdown at the end as epic as it looked?

[genesis6mythology]

greatest preformance by coldplay ever

!!!

[im8teennow]

5:12 - 5:58 I came.

[ivanlovesfestivals]

I was at that gig , I was not a Coldplay fan , but was too tired/drunk etc to move

after watching Faithless. They came on went straight into Politik , which correctly

someone said no one knew , and I was entranced from the first bar of the song !

What a night !

[animalsweare1]

Coldplay has this certain element some bands will never grasp - soul.

[chrisprm]

♥ amazing that they played this at Glastonbury 2002 before the record even came out, and the crowd went CRAZY!!

[LowleyUK]

Ethralling, breathtaking, mesmerizing, I got more shivers at the end than any other song ever, fuck anyone that says coldplay are shit!

[pikeflyfisherman]

i cant choose any top amount of coldplay songs because each and everyone of them is absoloutley amazing in their own way. In my personal opinion coldplay is one if not the greatest band ever.

[TheJanitor17]

either this or live at sydney 2003 is the best live version of politik imo

[TheLordHodne]

@TheJanitor17

I know. The one in sidney is a bit better though

[violator2442]

best song ever

[Patricoldplayer]

0:34 - 0: 45 Coldplay! Coldplay!XD

[ComfortablyDouglas]

But give me love over, love over, love over thiiiiiiiis!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ !!!

[pikeflyfisherman]

this was the performance that proved to everyone in the music media that they werent just one hit wonders and they were here to stay and rock everyones fucking world for the next ten years and beyond !!!

[paperchampion32]

stunning! sends shivers watching this and remembering being there and being completely blown away at the time. this song has such an immediacy about it and hearing it live here for the first time was truly incredible. thanks for putting this up, love it.

[marjorie7100]

muy bkn esta cancion!

[cyndelmw24]

totally enrapturing, utterly mesmerizing i was in aww wow

[trendifying]

it actually gave me shivers

[luis249342]

hahahah "open up your ass" hahahahahhahahahahaa

[genesis6mythology]

best performance of politik ever

[MrGranaatan]

I think that this performances is better than in from the Live 2003 DVD.

[cheesehead1204]

One of Coldplay's best performances ever

[JAD3889]

5:40-5:50. holy cow.

[bojang13s]

one of the best songs to listen to live. Especially when you're there.

[AddictiveDatsMe]

the scientist isnt even the top 5 ... lol

1)politik

2)square one

3)amsterdam

4)easy to please

5)high speed

[satin123]

Great video - thx... ;-)

[Polishaisdown]

2:10-2:14 Chris's voice is SO amazing!!

[MayorsOffice881]

AHH Was that spit at 1:39?

[lemondededemainTV]

Oh yeah

[GoJay777]

Every Coldplay song sounds uniquely Coldplay for the most part. But in this song, it just bleeds the Muse influence [which is a good thing]. A great song nevertheless.

[htemps]

well yeah. 2 of the best bands in the world!

[Goatlord1970]

Fucking Awesome!

[karlcos]

I think Chris Martin is a bit of a tit but they have done some good songs, this and dont panic being my favourite 2.

I remember watching this on tv when it was live, cant believe it was nearly 8 years ago!!!

[08HSFK]

Cheers !!!

[dlyn1907]

Chris personally loves this song he thinks of it as their best song himself

[Ta14Gu]

I personally think that it's a Freaking Awesome .. It's my favourite song not only among Coldplay songs ,, absolutely love it

[KKOPPI]

1. politik

2. the scientist

3. speed of sound

4. death and all his friends

5. don't panic

[carolinequeeste]

@KKOPPI

1)Politik

2) Hardest part (accoustic like on LeftRightLeftRightLeft)

3) The Scientist

4) Life in technicolour ii

5) Death and all of his friends

[KKOPPI]

great;) in fact it has changed again for me:

1 politik

2 death and all his friends

3 life in technicolor

4 the scientist

5 amsterdam

also hardest part acoustic is awsum:)

[SupaDoopaCoopa]

Chris Martin Kills it!

[benrox26]

the intro is very special

[dlyn1907]

Simply best of the best

[xobabbii]

Absolutely love this song. I just got "give me love over this" tattooed onto me today :)

[tkm2210]

@xobabbii lol He actually sings "Give me love over desire"

[xobabbii]

@tkm2210 no he doesn't. google the lyrics.

[tkm2210]

@xobabbii

whatever you are googling is wrong. There are some websites that actually are correct and say "Give me love over desire." But either way, you can clearly hear him say it, he splits the word "desire" so it sounds like this at first. I used to think the same thing. Chris sings, "Give me loooove over deeeeeeees iiiiiiiiiiiirrre." I'm sure it's still a sweet tattoo though.

[Brittymarie]

@tkm2210

Listening to the song, it sounds like it could be either! I was curious, so I went to Coldplay's website to check out the lyrics. Their site does say, "But give me love over, love over, love over this." He could always be changing up a few of the lyrics too, since it is live...maybe? :)

[tkm2210]

@Brittymarie very true, he could be changing it up, but I swear I hear it even on the album version. Either way, awesome lyric, and one of my favorite songs =)

[xobabbii]

@tkm2210 if you check the coldplay live 2003 dvd and check the lyrics on there, it even says it's "but give me love over, lover over, love over this."

[Brittymarie]

@xobabbii

You are right. I checked Coldplay's website and the lyrics are "But give me love over, love over, love over this." I bet it's a cool tattoo! :)

[daniel171095]

@xobabbii

saw this in concert in perth. not even the crappy acoustics of the dome could ruin this song =)

[7Coldplayer]

Coldplay! coldplay! codplay! coldplay! =D

[all123isgreat]

what does strobing mean

[Coldplero]

Search on google lol

[vinnycwalsh]

flashing lights

[hostattack]

god, i wish i'd been there...

[SexxyyAmber88]

warmhearted girl who is searching for a man who would be able to satisfy my needs

[benrox26]

anyone know which chord are played on the synth like b4 they walk on

[Coldplero]

They're not chords, they're simple notes

[benrox26]

what notes are they? cheers

[tinny1113]

@Coldplero

theyre chords dear

[shootr04]

I can't imagine the way these guys must have felt during this opening song...a MASSIVE crowd with many new songs in the setlist (and much different than their old songs, nonetheless)...biggest show they had played up to that point, in more than one way. What a success...UNBELIEVABLE

[benrox26]

what are the synth chords at the start?

[xxstarshapedxx]

this is GREAT!

[Balin888]

pure liefde!

[Cahulawassee]

It's a remarkable band that can sound this good live. Fantastic. Fantastik.

[DiobloHunter]

Everytime I watch this song live, the ending all ways gives me chills

[TunaWilson]

wow thats amazing :) coldplay are superb live!

[ximu18]

queee bandaaa!!!por dios!!!!hermosos!como siempre!!

[GilbertoGama1989]

Porque é que há tantos portugueses e brasileiros a ver este vídeo??

[Shiryu1318]

the best songs, i' ve cried

[luigicold]

i l0ve coldplay!!!

[deproffessor]

just the greatest

[Sociopatrol]

I hadnt seen this live version, thank you very much.

[Jislef]

The part where he does the mini piano solo has to be the best. "Give me love over...love over...love over this."

This is brilliant live.

[lverme]

Great song!!! Love it!!!

[Lukester15]

Politik is one hell of an amazing song when performed live!! Its pretty much epic from start to finish and always gives me goosebumps, especially during the instrumental parts, like the one near the end!

[danielrh]

I love this song, it has so much intensity. I went some months ago to Coldplay's concert in Boston and it was just great!

[luizlauro]

Loveee Lovee Loveeeeeeeeeee

[doremi5002]

wonderful

[seangrennan]

amazing...my fav song....live...speechless

[RORRAINS21]

great performance... amazing...

[manutdfan079]

This is Chris' Make Trade Fair Song

[ximu18]

uuuuh que temaso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!desde 4:00hasta el final me parte la cabeza!!!!como los amoooooo!!!!unos GROSSOS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lilronaldinho9]

cuz he stretches out the word "politik" and then he goes crazy along with the lights. lol

[Levente20]

this song makes coldplay great

[npage009]

Who cares who inspired what. It's bloody amazing!

[lilronaldinho9]

2:11-2:15 is epic

[JanQa86]

why?:D

[Levente20]

because i said so : D

[darkfan43]

lmao he looked like he was having a seizure x]
