Paramore... Let the Flames Begin!
By: Michele Ross
If fan reaction is an indicator of a bands performance then Paramore red-lines over the top. Giving 150%, Haley and company gave the fans one helluva ride at the Fillmore Event Center in Denver. It was a fist pumping, crowd cheering KICK-ASS show!
The set list was a great mixture of songs both old and new and included:
Misery Business
Ignorance
Brick by Boring Brick
Where the Lines Overlap
I caught Myself
Decode
Looking Up
Crushcrushcrush
That's What You Get
Misguided Ghost (acoustic version)
After the show I asked a couple of teenage girls what they liked about the show. What stood out the most for them? Besides the music of course they all agreed they loved the interaction the band had going on with the fans. The loved that Haley spoke to them in between songs and showed a more personal side of herself. They discoverd her sense of humor and really loved her ability to "WOW" the audience. For these girls it was their first Paramore show and they were already planning their next.
For me... It was my of love music and entertainment and I loved this show because that's what I got. Music and entertainment in spades! Paramore plowed through their hook riddled, fist pumping music with boundless energy. The show flew by with a series of shout-out choruses, fantastic guitar power and powerhouse vocals. Hayley's playfulness with the multi-generational audience was a joy to watch. She and her bandmates appeared to be having a great time on stage and that was reflected in all of their performances. If you like high energy and non stop entertainment at a show then Paramore is a MUST SEE. They give a solid performance from start to finish.
