Coldplay Is Giving It Away!,

Coldplay wants to be nice to their fans and also promote their live CD, LeftRightLeftRightLeft.

In fact, for the rest of their concerts this year, the band will be giving away FREE live CDs to everyone that attends their shows – not including festivals.

According to the band’s site, starting with their first North American tour date on May 15th in West Palm Beach, Florida, “every fan attending a show will be given a free copy of the nine-track CD, which won’t be available elsewhere.”

Also on the 15th, LeftRightLeftRightLeft will be available to download for free on the band’s site.

So what’s the reason for the generosity?

Apparently the free CDs are meant as a “recession-busting mark of gratitude to everyone who’s supported them.”

Coldplay claims that “Playing live is what we love. This album is a thank you to our fans – the people who give us a reason to do it and make it happen.”

Free sounds good to us!
