Coldplay / Richard Ashcroft - Bittersweet Symphony (Live 8 2005) 

heyy

❤😊

Lookin at that head boppin mom in 2024

I am

❤

Fuckin A

We will be back there again dont worry. Birth pain whats happening currently

Normal 2.0

You will miss today.......too.

Me too my friend

not to be that guy but i can see quite a few cameras and also cellphones (2:27) 😁 granted very few compared to today

Uy manito XD

@calinbaciu1846 It's nothing compared to what I see in todays venues. I would assume you understand this.

I'm awestruck by the sight of it too .

Cell phones had not dominated humans in those days.

Lo tengo!!! Un excelente tema, jamás se olvida, y siempre vuelves a él!!!!!

Illuminati members telling us about money. LOL! Telling us we are slaves to it. He doesn't say, "We are all slaves to money," but says "You're a slave to money than you die!" The subliminal messaging is right in your face.

Ashcroft is tall with a girfaffe neck they try to cover up just like former NBA player Kirk Hinrich (wears prosthetic mask with big fake nose when playing Ashcroft) - same wives just look at em. (Whatever Rothschild that is), who is the same guy who plays Ashcroft.

Me encanta😄👍👍👍👍👍

Just listen to what he says. He is telling us "FU" in this song. He is saying "YOU ARE ARE ALL SLAVES TO MONEY THEN YOU DIE!" I CAN'T CHANGE!"

10000000%!!!!!!

He's an amazing vocalist

pretty sure he was just called greatest singer in the world

@@thesongsyouwrote qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqaqqqq

That trueee

I'd be honored if some Verve & Coldplay fans would give a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal RU-vid performances of BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY and VIVA LA VIDA in tribute to 2 of the most iconic bands from the 90s & 00s (respectively). Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace and stay safe.

Love him dead ringer for spider out of coronation St ys ago😂

should put the link ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xNknyJIkLn4.html (BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY acoustic cover)

I was there, it was great, one of the best day of my life ❤️

Even seeing it live on TV felt special, glad it hasn't disappeared

Great!!!!

Lol he'd just copy the music from another song

The song that ended the 90's And started the 21st century.

I’m pretty sure it was copied from The Rolling Stones

@@protalukoriginal4560 It was'nt a copy of the stones song their manager cleverly took away song credits from them there's also a video about this full controversy on youtube. I dont remember the channel's name rn.

Was that concert in 2006?

How does one show respect to a stage?

He is former NBA basketball player Kirk Hinrich... A Rothschild wearing a prosthetic mask. He's no friend of the people.

Totally agree the best singer in the world

unlike sunflower

@@simracing8434 videos

Still a master piece, an amazing composition.

It IS a masterpiece. Cheers to you.

Voice o f an angel ~

@@mcc9040 indeed

All copy cats shall be banned

Your right and even though I personally like Richards voice more Chris is technically a better singer but calls Richard the best singer. Very humble man.

Chester Bennington is tied with Richard Ashcroft

Innit indeed

if you look closely at 1:31, chris wasnt actually playing the piano

@@amirulhaeqal2133 do you know how pianos work...?

Giants of British music singing on a tiny stage… 🙂

Totally agree

But it still does not sounds good compared with his own band. I mean he works better and sounds better with his own band

Experiencing a moment instead of just recording it.

M M it was a shite crowd

I mean, there are people with cameras so...

Oh yes, no smartphone zombie

That´s right!

Until shitty Rolling Stones got jealous of the success and milked Richard dry from any of the earnings. But hey, we're all slaves to fucking money

Anja Gros richard ashcroft wrote it, ir has a sample of an orchestra Version of a Rolling Stones Song. Richard Ashcroft lost his Rights Even though he wrote it.

Dr.DisRespect 2x BlockbusterChamp And the dick who was the beetles manager. The Verve got permission. And the song was just to damn popular and the asshole sued. Nethermind the Stones STOLE FROM THE STAPLE SINGERS. A gospel group. When asked about it Keith Richards said that’s for the lawyers. Pansy Ass Mother F**kers. The Verve got the ultimate shaft. Welcome to the music business.

mat mells But the Stones took the money and ran. When the Stones stole from the Staple Singers a Black Gospel group. Like all the white artists looking the other way around making money. Taking from Black artist who were constantly ripped off. Since you’re telling the truth. Tell all of it or none of it🤔

celestial

👍

@@jonathancarter6831 No they didn't. They got songwriting credits because of the violin melody in the song coming from one of theirs, and for a while got royalties for it. That was until a few years ago when they signed over the full rights and royalties back to Richard Ashcroft. Richard Ashcroft wrote the song. He wrote the lyrics. Jagger/Richards are only credited for one part of the music.

In fact, the stones had nothing to do with it. There was some orchestra that covered some of their music, and the verve were accused of ripping elements from one of the orchestral stones covers, which sounded really different from the originals. It was the stones label or some managerial dude who was greedy and wanted money who accused the verve of plagiarism.

@@jonathancarter6831 It isnt identical at all, I've literally just heard it. That still doesn't take away from the fact that the lyrics were written by Richard Ashcroft. The Stones song in itself was sampled from the orchestra so wasn't even their composition to begin with. THOUSANDS of songs have been sampled over the years.

Lo es como la historia de la canción

I'd be honored if some Verve & Coldplay fans would take a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY and VIVA LA VIDA in tribute to 2 of the most iconic bands from the 90s & 00s. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace out and stay safe.

Verdade Não tem como não se emocionar

You must have memories the lyrics well enough to stop playing it .

damn... Im hate growing old...

@@EjayJoe-gl1kk Find something else cool to do or learn . You obviously haven't listened to the lyrics very well . It's bittersweet but stay on the road .

@@v.dargain1678 i will bro thanks

still do

TRUTH!

Alguém assistindo em março de 2021? ?

@Alek Wolf I feel ya on this one but prolly don’t. Just had a close friend make that choice. Total devastation for his friends n Fam. No judging man. But you are worth living. 🙏🕉💕

Awesome song can repeat every day and night

I'm really glad that they finally got the royalties back on this song...

The best song on tje worlf

Songs 97' bruh..

@@BluelightIsnice this concert was in 2005, which was what they were referring to

Fuck yeah!

Amazing

Its too bad the rolling stones took the money and royalties for 20 years. Those greedy fucks.

Rob E. It’s not their fault; it’s their manager, they had no say in it

@@goodvibebeats4168 you are trying to claim the rolling stones were powerless? They are the rolling stones for fuck sake. They are the power behind their management. They didn't want to do anything to help.

J K No it’s true; they weren’t even aware it was happening. The manager took care of it all.

Hahahhahahha so funny. Please listen to older music. Pure music through heart and soul . Meaningful song. Pure talent

OH I'm so sorry:-\ Sometimes in life we can't change what is going to happen,or already happened.I'm telling you , be strong.It is important to live your life,don't look back ! Look in front of you. There is a world,live your life in this world as fun as you can. LIVE.

My brothers funeral song too. So sorry for your loss xxx

Hope your good man, stay strong 💪

So sorry for your loss. I lost my dad to suicide when I was 11. But this song gave me comfort somehow...

sorry babe

And still great

And I’m listening right now

Such a classic, one of the best songs I’ve ever heard and grew up to

Wait what?!! 😳😳😳 Are you serious? Apparently yes.. I am shocked

Can't belive I'm 72 love this song c

You're right bro

FalcaoXTZ ummmmm I disagree

He sounds flawless

NinjaYT me to mate,all this ‘best singer in the world ‘bullshit makes me laugh 😂😂😂

You didn't listen to many singers if you really think so.

Hola saludos desde Honduras me imagino que cuando la canción fue grabada Pedias que el locutor no vaya a interrumpir que recuerdos esos 😊

Everything after the internet and smart phones became less beautiful

So pleased to be a part of this time...the best

❤️ My heart. So sorry for your loss.

❤❤❤❤

❤️

💔

I'm sorry for your loss

This song still hits the same as it was in ‘97 such a masterpiece

Agosto del 2022.. y SÍ.. es un TEMÓN..!!

TOTALMENTE CIERTO!

I was born in 1997. You made me feel old now 😂

@@mightyman6459 nah u still young 😂

Jenni Garcia class comment 😂😂

I love this!!

Way to funny. I won’t go either

Nice one. Thumbs up

😂😂😂

To my Spotify playlist 😎

Lost in the history books

Seriously? There are thousands of amazing bands and musicians out today. Do some research

BunnyLovesHam crack

music will never be the same as this video right here . Real singer no auto tune real band . Not saying there’s no bands left but in today’s age bands ect don’t get the opportunity to get to the next stage because this generation is more into auto tune rubbish so bands out there now have basically no hope of getting there stuff on the radio . Because all radio stations wanna play is shit auto tune crap . And that’s coming from me as a guitarist . It’s sad and hopefully people wake up to real music

Same

Ditto

Me too 😢

💯💯🚶🏽‍♂️

Cruel intentions??

Exato

Good point!

Exatamente!! As pessoas não assistem mais aos shows, estão apenas preocupadas em fazer os melhores vídeos e fotos para postar em suas redes sociais. Uma pena.

Não sabem oque estão perdendo....

Lucky

So lucky

wow

Lucky man

gelous

Big Boi God I thought it was a 2019 video tbh until I read the title fully lol

Believe it or not there was decent audio visual technology then. It was around the mid 00s that resolution went on the up. Doesn't seem so long ago but shit. It's almost 15 years. Time goes far too quick.

ikr and some how some TV shows today dont have this quality XD

2005 is when hdtv started to come in joey the friends spin off was filmed in 2005/6 in hd and is referanced it a few times

It was 2005 not 1985.

Somesaymisery the fact that Chris Martin is humble to play the piano and not have to be the center of attention is one of the reasons I have respect for him & I’ll be a Coldplay fan for a long time!

@@amsfam2052 exactly people hate coldplay can't believe people hate this band

This comment ❤💥

@@thelegendkillersshittyduff1335 prolly it's a bunch of 14 yrs so called suicidal freak that hated coldplay lmao, let em be

Yes!!

Clairement !!!!!!

Amen to that

I'm awestruck by the number of fans that showed up . Damn !

Seguro,un clásico,hermoso!!

Never knew he got them back, that’s great to hear !

Is that truth? I'm so glad if so, cause lets be honest, this song may include content from other band but this guy made magic with those existing ingredients.

well it is actually a verbatim copy but lovely....glad he made his money

@@axiapiscis8896 They basically took the violin, but the rest of the song is all Verve and Ashcroft. Shame they took forever to give royalties back. The message in the song defines everything about society so perfectly.

Stoned didn’t sue him that was Allan Klein (Dead)who owns the rights to pre 70s Stones songs!

I agree

Definitely. I’m beginning to wonder whether we’ll ever see audiences like this ever again....

Lena you are absolutely right. This live version with Chris Martin send chills through my body.

Ik right

Hello Lena. Type into RU-vid ` chris Evans breakfast show. bitter sweet symphony ` Hope its available to you. Sincerely John ( UK )

The song won't get old I am I'm 72 I've loved it from day one x

This is a rip off of the rolling stones - the last time

Your correct with work class

why the girlie hairstyle this prick was a junkie

If you look closely at 1:31, chris wasn't actually playinh the piano

@@amirulhaeqal2133 I definitely missed that! I was floating somewhere in space.

​@@amirulhaeqal2133 he was, he's just holding some keys down with the pedals.

My eyes watered also, this song just touches sooooo deep, and I'm having an awesome day🙂

Very powerful comment we need some more of those

What an awesome memory!

I love it sank you

Thinking the same. sitting here at 2 a.m. at listen to quarantine music

Yessss

Es reicht das du da bist.

szantai123 also try STADIO, ballando al buio. Anything STADIO is top of the top

Please listen to the version of David Garrett (in 2022). A thrill!

Awesome 👍

yes I just found it tonight!

Simon k ,does that mean u failed to watch live 8 ,on live TV as /when it happened ?

Clássico épico.

Buenísimo!

lo maximo

amigo pero los invitados son también famosos, hunildad de ambos lados

Esta canción es magia, y la película es lo máximo.

esa canción es más famosa que CASI toda la discografía de Coldplay :v

Damn! You from the future?

That's where I heard this song!

Love this movie, which in turn made me love this song. Such a great, nostalgic connection between film and music

To me it will always be the "Cruel Intentions Ending Song".

@@musafawundu6718 yep I remember as a kid my sister used to always watch cruel intentions.. it was her favorite movie.. and i always thought man I like that song.. and years later I heard the full song and realized.. this might be the greatest song of all time

Me encanta esa canción❤❤

Mr.Viper Games 🤝yes bro

Sure

Sure

Sure

Sure

Yes, im here!

u Hot babe

Essa é foda

From catalonia good year!!!

☝from Indonesia

arjen folk mobiles were there but people were more smart than now

Actually less mobiles and more people attended at concerts than now

Mobiles yes, but then was the time when it can only take pictures

gtella31 i know😜

But cameras. I remember that JVC when I was a kid in every trip or significant moment. It does not seem like long time ago. We have to blame apple

Brian Leonell Gomez 🇧🇷🙋🏻‍♀️

Not in quarantine, but listening all the same April 12 2020

I!

@@ankeh.2473wher are you from?

Yep

no it's not weird at all.

You stole my heart bro

God speed. Lets hear it now.

You should be proud to have this be played

Also when it’s my time which will probably be soon by suicide or heart disease (cuz you know I had one too many zebra cakes) I am probably going to play this or you only get what you give by New Radicals

I'm glad The Rolling Stones finally decided to be decent human beings rather than gready one. Even though it took them long enough and they didn't need the money. It was a nasty thing to do to someones career.

@@nadineavis4625 no it wasn't the rolling stones fault that they didn't get there money for the song it was allen klein their former manager that decided that. Allen klein owned them 48 million and after he passed away a couple of years ago members of the rolling stones gave them their money.

Imagine two people (Man or Woman) walk up to the ocean. They both describe what they see. In different ways. And only days apart. This is what I feel happened. Richard earned this.

@@eastsideangie8170 just so hard to get one's head around... that corrupt music producers exist/ed and to this extent... it's money yes, and I love the stuff when I haven't got it, especially since my daughter. But I also have a sum coming to me from an inheritance and oh God, if I could, the bloody great joy I'd have giving it away to some people I've known, including/especially her good dad who I haven't been with for so long.

@@eastsideangie8170 don't blame the Mr Klein for making money wherever he could regardless of morals, it's a part of his culture.

We need the documental of that events, justice for Sir Ashcroft and The Verve @Netflix

What happened?

@@thomasschott7887 The Rolling Stones sued The Verve for the rights to Bittersweet Symphony (some chords). It was a long lawsuit and I assume that it was costly and exhausting, David against Goliath and without a patron ... The Verve survived a long time, I say.

It's the last time!

and not by richards and jagger..

A

This one's not going away. So good

Superb Song 🖤

Yes offcorses

Certainly does Vincent.

That’s because it’s a modern classic song

Fuck off 1997 was not that long ago

So beautifully said.

Music is trash now. Even here it was starting to fade to the garbage it’s become.

@@Texasguy316 now that is sad. With bands from this concert that we’re performing in the the 60’s , I felt it was overall an honest event. But I do agree today’s music is quite shallow in comparison. Perhaps I’m showing my age 😏

me too 💞

15 years later, I'm happy we're both still here, listening

God bless you
