'''''iTunes Live: London Festival '09''''' is a six-song [[Extended play|EP]] by [[alternative rock]] band [[Snow Patrol]], released digitally on 9 July 2009 on the [[iTunes Store]]. The songs were taken from the band's set at [[Roundhouse (venue)|The Roundhouse]] in [[London]] as part of the [[iTunes Festival]] 2009.

==Background==
Snow Patrol headlined the July 5 performance at [[Roundhouse (venue)|The Roundhouse]] of the iTunes Festival 2009. They were supported by [[Animal Kingdom (band)|Animal Kingdom]] and [[Silversun Pickups]]. It was reported, since the festival was free, many non-fans had come to attend the show. Many of these left after the band got through "[[Run (Snow Patrol song)|Run]]" and "[[Chasing Cars]]",<ref name="OPEN">{{cite web|url=http://www.openmagazine.co.uk/sound/article/itunes-festival-2009/ |title=iTunes Festival 2009 |last=Jefferies |first=Chris |date=21 July 2009 |publisher=Open |access-date=23 November 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/5lVhfg3cZ?url=http://www.openmagazine.co.uk/sound/article/itunes-festival-2009/ |archive-date=23 November 2009 }}</ref> and they were left to play to a much smaller crowd (less than 70% of the capacity) as they neared the end of their set, especially the sixteen-minute "[[The Lightning Strike]]".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.inthenews.co.uk/infocus/entertainment/snow-patrol-camden-roundhouse-july-5th-$1309621.htm |title=Snow Patrol, Camden Roundhouse, July 5th |last=Jefferies |first=Chris |date=7 July 2009 |publisher=inthenews.co.uk |access-date=23 November 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/5lVejMKd8?url=http://www.inthenews.co.uk/infocus/entertainment/snow-patrol-camden-roundhouse-july-5th-$1309621.htm |archive-date=23 November 2009 }}</ref> The festival's ticket policy was thus criticized.<ref name="OPEN"/>

It had earlier been announced that all performances from the month-long festival would be made available for download exclusively on all 22 [[iTunes Store]]s.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.musicweek.com/story.asp?sectioncode%3D1%26storycode%3D1037784|archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/5lVh0B0FH?url=http://www.musicweek.com/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=1037784|url-status=dead|archive-date=23 November 2009|title=Oasis and Snow Patrol for iTunes festival|last=Cardew|first=Ben|date=21 May 2009|magazine=[[Music Week]]|access-date=23 November 2009}}</ref> The subsequently released EP on 9 July contained songs taken from the band's set.<ref name="EP">{{cite web|url=https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=323658583&s=143444|title=iTunes Live: London Festival '09 - EP|publisher=iTunes|access-date=15 July 2009}} Note: Need iTunes to view link.</ref><ref name="REV">{{cite web|url=http://www.xfm.co.uk/news/competitions/review-snow-patrol-at-the-itunes-festival|title=Review Snow Patrol At The iTunes Festival|publisher=Xfm|access-date=15 July 2009}}</ref> However, the release omitted several songs from the 17 song set. The songs that didn't make the release were — "[[If There's a Rocket Tie Me to It]]", "[[Chocolate (Snow Patrol song)|Chocolate]]", "[[Hands Open]]", "[[How to Be Dead]]", "You Could Be Happy", "Run", "Somewhere a Clock is Ticking", "[[Take Back the City]]", "The Lightning Strike" (second and third parts), "[[Open Your Eyes (Snow Patrol song)|Open Your Eyes]]", "[[Set the Fire to the Third Bar]]" and "[[You're All I Have]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gettothefront.co.uk/index.php/2009/07/09/snow-patrol-live-the-roundhouse-itunes-festival |title=Snow Patrol Live @ The Roundhouse (iTunes Festival) |author=Bumder |date=9 July 2009 |publisher=Get to the Front |access-date=23 November 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/5lVjas04t?url=http://gettothefront.co.uk/index.php/2009/07/09/snow-patrol-live-the-roundhouse-itunes-festival |archive-date=23 November 2009 }}</ref> Two songs from the set were later shown on the band's [[Facebook]] page as highlights.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.snowpatrol.com/news/default.aspx?nid=22104 |title=Video from the iTunes Festival - Download the EP now! |last=Eskimos |first=The |date=15 July 2009 |publisher=snowpatrol.com |access-date=23 November 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/5lVjiWE7L?url=http://www.snowpatrol.com/news/default.aspx?nid=22104 |archive-date=23 November 2009 }}</ref>
