Coldplay to give away live album

Good morning. We’re pleased to announce that Coldplay will be giving away a live CD, LeftRightLeftRightLeft, at every remaining live show in 2009 (apart from festival shows). Starting with the band’s first North American tour date, at West Palm Beach in Florida on May 15th, every fan attending a show will be given a free copy of the nine-track CD, which won’t be available elsewhere. Also on May 15th, LeftRightLeftRightLeft will be made available as a free download right here at Coldplay.com, for all fans (and for the same time period). According to the band, the give-away is meant as a recession-busting mark of gratitude to everyone who’s supported them: “Playing live is what we love. This album is a thank you to our fans – the people who give us a reason to do it and make it happen.” – from Coldplay

Coldplay announced today that they will be giving away a live CD, “LeftRightLeftRightLeft,” at every remaining live show in 2009 (apart their festival appearances), starting with their first North American tour date, at West Palm Beach in Florida on May 15. That’s right loyal fans, pay a ga-gillion dollars for a ticket and you can get a CD filled with the same songs that you just heard live, on a live album. Sorta like buying your preachers sermon on CD after church. Reportedly every fan attending a show will be given a free copy of the nine-track CD. Here’s the best part though, you don’t have to go to the concert to get it. On May 15, “LeftRightLeftRightLeft” will also be made available as a free download from Coldplay.com, for fans everywhere. – from NYPost
