[derfrank]

Zwar mag ich die Band nicht, aber da es noch keinen Thread zu geben scheint, und ich die Nachricht loswerden wollte:

Seit Freitag bieten Coldplay ein kleines Live-Album mit 9 Tracks namens ,,LeftRightLeftRightLeft" zum Download an. Ihr müsst eine Mail-Adresse angeben und könnt es dann laden.

Tracklist und mehr u.a. hier

[Bravo_Punk]

Klingt ja interessant. Muss ich doch direkt mal schauen!

[riorock]

,,LeftRightLeftRightLeft" gibt es auch für jeden Konzertbesucher der Konzerte in Amrekia und Europa 2009

Sehr gut gemachtest Live-Album, grad wenn man bedaenkt, dass es sich um B-Seiten und Bonus-Tracks handelt

[tigertanga]

hab mir das jetzt geladen und jetzt hab ich ne undefinierte datei....was mache ich mit der jetzt?

[Rock Rendezvous]

Sehr gut gemachtest Live-Album, grad wenn man bedaenkt, dass es sich um B-Seiten und Bonus-Tracks handelt

Bis auf "Death Will Never Conquer" ist da doch keine einzige B-Seite oder ein Bonustrack dabei...

Naja, ich seh die March-Tracks jetzt auch mal als Bonus - ich find halt einfach die Tracklist verdammt gut.

[Showmaster]
