Regarding the limited release, Chris Martin stated that the purpose was to show gratitude: "Although it's live, it's supposed to be a real album, part of our canon. Y'know, as well as being a gift move, it is also a musical move. It's meant to say that this is what we sound like at the moment."[4] Within six days, it was downloaded 3.5 million times.[6]

The band also noted that "playing live is what [they] love" and that the album is "a thank you to [their] fans", which are "the people who give [them] a reason to do it and make it happen".[2] The material used was "recorded in over 101 locations", with producer Dan Green picking the tracks he thought were the best along with Coldplay's creative director Phil Harvey.[4]

Critical reception

Stephen M. Deusner from Pitchfork wrote a positive review for the album, noting that it "showcases a band much more comfortable and commanding on stage" in comparison to Coldplay Live 2003. He also commented that "all the big moments they've tried to create in the studio finally come alive on these tracks".[7]
