Live 2003 is the first live album by the British rock band Coldplay, featuring shows recorded at Sydney's Hordern Pavilion on 21 and 22 July 2003. It was released on 4 November 2003 by Capitol in the United States and on 10 November 2003 by Parlophone in the United Kingdom. Screenings were held at select theaters the day prior. The album marks the group's second live project after Trouble – Norwegian Live EP (2001).
The album was nominated for Best Long Form Music Video at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards, and named one of the greatest releases of the year by Blender. The song "Moses", exclusive to the album, was written about Chris Martin's then-wife Gwyneth Paltrow and inspired the name of their second child, born in 2006. It was sent to alternative radio stations in the United States as a promotional single on 6 October, while the recording of "Clocks" had a promotional push in countries such as Mexico and Spain.
