These are some of coldplay's best songs in my opinion, they should have been on x&y. Not that x&y is a bad album, but it would have been much better with those songs, they could have replaced some of the more crappy songs on x&y.

 

Right, to my question, did they ever record moses in a studio version? I can only find live versions, if someone has a studio version let me know :confused: .

Nope, and I also heard there was no intention of recording one either... :(

 

I'd love a studio version of Moses. That darn crowd gets annoying after awhile.

like YamiMarik528 has said they have not released a studio version unfortunatly. The band recorded a few demos and bits and pieces in studios while on tour in 2003, so there may be a studio version

 

however there are a few different live versions of the song 'moses' that have been made available by people taping the shows

 

27th August 2003

Julie Slater Show; 92.3 K-Rock Radio, New York, NY, USA

(chris solo acoustic for a radio show before the MTV VMA 2003 appearance)

 

22nd July 2003

Hordern Pavillion; Sydney, Australia

(currently the definitive version of the song, which is avaliable on the live 2003 DVD)

 

27 August 2002

Olympia; Paris, France

(first time the song was played live, chris plays it at the end of the show solo on the electric guitar)

 

the song was played a few times on the jan-Mar and May-Jun north american tours in 2003. the versions played on this tour were virtually the same as the 'live 2003 dvd' version)

Moses is such a great song ! I'd like Ladder To The sun, too :)

yeah i like ladder to the sun too. :)

yup but 1:36 and i ran away were originally from the AROBTTH sessions... no way they would've released them on the new record. I'm still hoping they'll have a stroke of genius and release Moses as a studio b-side :)

Moses is a fantastic song.

i LOVE 1.36, moses and i ran away!!!

i'm not crazy about 1:36 but i ran away rulz!!!!!!! :P one of their best b-sides

yup yup

That's just a great thing about brilliant song writers (Chris Martin, Noel Gallagher). They create outstanding b-sides. I do think I Ran Away is a very good song, and it being a b-side is proof of songwriter's sheer genius, much like The Masterplan and Listen Up were Oasis b-sides.

 

By the way, as of the moment I think Oasis has the best b-sides of all, but I think Coldplay could catch on lol.

I Ran Away us among my favorite Coldplay songs! But Brother & Sisters is better imo though. :rolleyes:

I Ran Away is possibly my favorite b-side. It's amazing. I also love Crests of Waves. Has anyone else heard Marianne? It's really good - I have a bootleg of it that I got from Ebay from a person in Chile - it's amazing.

didnt debs say that songs like moses and ladder to the sun have technically been recorded? i think i saw it on a current q&a. anyways, i ran away is probably the best thing they've ever written.

great songs, one of the few bands i make an effort to collect as much b sides as i can.

 

chris martin said in the NME interview that if you lined up the disgarded songs you could go to the moon and back.

 

if the bsides are this good imagine what they consider as bad
