I used to search on youtube for live videos of their performance and was very amazed, but now that I've been to their concert and seen them perform live, I can say that it was a gaziliion times better than on youtube! Its the best concert that I've been to! I cant begin to describe the intensity that I felt during the concert when I saw the whole band headbanging, jumping around, hayley doing this wacky dance while singing, and of course more headbanging. IT WAS JUST TOO AWESOME. The most awesome part is that they played 18 songs! The songs that they played were:
- Ignorance
- Feeling Sorry
- That's What You Get
- For A Pessimist, I'm Very Optimistic
- Emergency
- Playing God
- Careful
- Decode
- Never Let This Go (Acoustic)
- When It Rains (Acoustic)
- Where The Lines Overlap (Acoustic)
- Misguided Ghosts (Acoustic)
- Crushcrushcrush
- Pressure
- Looking up
- The Only Exception
- Brick by Boring Brick (Encore)
- Misery Business (Encore)
The concert started as a black curtain covered the stage. Then there was this intense intro where we can only see the shadows of the band members. As the curtain dropped, the crowd was screaming like there was no tomorrow. They started the concert with Ignorance.
I think the crowd was the loudest during Thats What You Get, even Ili said so. Yes, they had an acoustic session rite in the middle of the concert. It started with just Hayley and Josh (guitarist) playing Never Let This Go. During this song, Hayley's voice was clear and beautiful. Then they brought up a white couch on stage and the whole band played 2 other songs on acoustic. After that, it was full on rock with Crushcrushcrush as Hayley asked everyone to get on their feet and dance. I think the most awesome part happened during Pressure. They slowed the song down in the middle and Hayley asked the crowd,
" How many of you have been to a Paramore show? "
*some screams can be heard*
"Well, welcome back. But what we really wana know is, how many of you HAVE NEVER BEEN TO A PARAMORE SHOW? "
*whole crowd screams*
"Well, welcome to the family! Now that you're here, you have been sucked in, and we are never letting you go. You guys waited 6 years to see Paramore and we pro
mise that you guys won't have to wait another 6 years for us to return. By the look of things, we should have been here sooner!"
Hayley then introduced the band members one by one. After that they continued playing Pressure and did this awesome stunt where Jeremy (bassist) side-flipped over Josh and Hayley was right infront of them (as you can see the picture at the top of my blog :P). During The Only Exception Hayley asked the crowd to put up their handphones and lighters.
They said goodbye but of course the crowd screamed for an encore. They came back and played Brick by Boring Brick. And at the end of the song, the whole crowd was singing along to PARA PA PARA PA PARA PARA PA PA PARA PA PA PARA PA PARA PA PARA PARA PA PA PARA PA PA!! After that they played MISERY BUSINESS! and some lucky dude got to go on stage and sing a part of the song and even got to take a pic with Hayley (T.T) What the heck, but it was still the best concert that I've been to and those who didn't go missed a hell of a concert. Well, its not a concert, its a full on head-banging, jumping, screaming rock show :P Plus I got a sore neck the next day and I just head-banged a little.
Dear Hayley, how do you do it again and again and again? :D
