This week's classic Coldplay clip features the Moses Promo Video which comprises a compilation of shots and scenes from the Coldplay Live 2003 DVD, together with the performance of Moses, a track so far only ever played live. VH1 labelled it "Moses - Version 3 by Coldplay".
Amidst the nicely edited concert montages on this cut (from the 2003 DVD), we also get glimpses of the lads lounging backstage, a little jokey guy-on-guy action and a peek at Martin's jump shot. The actual performance of 'Moses' in the video is Australia, but all the clips are from Coldplay in America. The clip where Chris kisses Jonny is at the Hollywood Bowl, the clip where they're all under umbrellas is Red Rocks and there's also clips of them at KROQ radio station (which is in Los Angeles).
Live 2003 is the only official live album release (to date) by Coldplay, first on sale in November 2003. The set features concerts filmed at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion on July 21 and 22, 2003. It was nominated for "Best Music Video: Long Form" at the 2004 Grammy Awards. Moses was released in the year 2003 in the album Live 2003 and as a promotional CD (sent to DJs for radio play), on which it is the eighth track on the second disk. It was written about Chris Martin's wife Gwyneth Paltrow. This song inspired the name of Chris and Gwyneth's second child, born in 2006.
