Here's an interesting poll, and you may not be able to answer it for a while. Maybe take Glastonbury and then the EP in before deciding!

Live easily...

Live.

Live version!

Maybe someone could rip the vocals from the live performances and put them on the studio version for those that prefer the live version.

The studio version makes Chris' voice way too muffled. He basically sounds like he's singing through a megaphone.

 

I've said it everywhere already... It sounds like Matt Bellamy (from Muse) when he sings 'Feeling Good'

I prefer the live versions of most songs (that's how you can tell whether a band actually has talent), but most of that stems from hearing those songs live in person. I can tell merely from someone else's recording that the live version of "Major Minus" is immensely superior. Studio version is an example of when production outshines the actual talent.

Yes, I need a HQ version of the Rock am Ring festival. It's blows the studio verson out of the water, sorry.

I like the live version right now...but there's more of a tendency to like whatever version you heard first, which was the live version. I LOVE Charlie Brown. I am worried about what it will sound like in studio.

I was thinking the same

Studio version has WILL's voice

I don't prefer studio version than live version... so i like both of them :)

they're great for me

that is damn risky, playing the new tunes live before the release... i am pro LIVE !

Live, i didn't like the voice of chris in the studio version...

Live no doubts... it's a pity because it's an EPIC song.. i miss jonny's guitar before the 2nd verse, and the beautiful voice of Chris Martin...

LIVE.

LIVE.

Live.

 

I am very disappointed in this version. Coldplay has to be pure, we want real music and no stupid sound effects with Chris' voice. His voice is great, he doesn't need effects.
