Ghost Stories Live 2014 features a live performance of Coldplay's Ghost Stories album in an intimate setting last March, two months prior to the album’s release.
The film was shot in a custom-built amphitheatre at Sony Studios, Los Angeles, utilising 360-degree and overhead imagery.
“The Ghost Stories show at Sony Studios was a very special moment for our band," says Coldplay front-man Chris Martin.
“The magic theatre built by our incredible crew with the 360 screens was literally a dream come true. And it was the first time anyone outside of our studio had heard the new songs. This film is basically our original vision for the Ghost Stories album.”
Parts of the performance were first broadcast in May 2014 as a Coldplay TV Special by major broadcasters around the world, including NBC in the US and Sky Arts in the UK (where the film has already been nominated for Best Live Coverage the MTV EMAs 2014).
However, Ghost Stories Live 2014 is the first time that the performance has been sequenced as originally conceived, as a visual representation of the Ghost Stories album.
The release also contains an exclusive Ghost Stories live album, with audio recorded at shows in London, Sydney, Paris, Cologne, New York and Los Angeles between April and July 2014.
