are there any songs you think they should bring back for the setlist or a song you wish they would play live?
also which live performances are your favorite? (you could even go by era cuz i think each era is pretty unique)
ok so i need to start this off by saying BRING POOL BACK IMMEDIATELY!! please with the intro and everything. itās just so fucking good. next up, which i know might be controversial, but iād love to hear fences live once (i would watch this video all the time when i was younger, it just seems like a lot of fun). i always think it sounds so cool. and then obviously iām on my knees screaming and crying for them to bring back Let The Flames Begin / Part II, which i know theyāre probably sick of but it always turned out so good!!! and Turn It Off & Careful are my #1 picks. like, genuinely I need to hear them live or else. Also, Sugar on the Rim.
anyways i used to be better at pinpointing my favorite performances because i would watch them to a point where it was super concerning, now iām a bit more mellow about it. however, since you asked i will attempt to deliver. just for you, dear anon.
this is in no particular order or anything, basically iām just going off what i remember really saying damn this is good about (which is super easy when you love a band like paramore).
First off letās start with the Miracle Outro performed during Brand New Eyes era. this song just goes so fucking hard and i curse Josh Farro for the fact that he wrote it so they couldnāt record it and release it since he left the band soon thereafter.
Paramore at Wembley Arena in 2009 ā This concert is so good. like thank god this person filmed it and decided to upload it to youtube. I cannot get enough of Intro / Ignorance. truly.
RTMorasonMD had a great full concert vid from 2010, the sound quality is great for 2010 too. considering most of the time videos look like they were filmed with an nintendo D.S..
Paramore at The House of Blues in Anaheim, California (2006) this is like nostalgia city for me. I remember running my old paramore fan account on instagram and stumbling on this and being likeā¦ iāve hit the paramore jackpot. shout out to Paramore History for always posting the real hard to find stuffā¦ where would we be without you?
When Paramore performed Careful at Warped Tour in 2011 or like the whole Warped Tour Set ā i will say this over and over again on this post but i have to be real with you when i say, i watched these videos so much itās crazy. but careful was my favorite. i love careful. any performance or careful and iām there.
Paramore live in Paris (2013) when i tell you i watched this religiously i mean it. i could probably do all the dance moves / movements hayley did in this specific video way back when. i was obsessed.
Paramore performing Let The Flames Begin / Part II at Bunbury in Cincinnati (2014) i just love this one. like all of these are just nostalgic for me and i canāt help but want to show you.
When Paramore performed Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen and then it went into Hallelujah by Paramore (lol) at Parahoy (2016). What a way to open the show. i mean, i remember watching the final riot and being totally in love with Hayleyās voice and the way she sang it. I think I was introduced to Hallelujah by Shrek but Paramore was the second one to show me the ways of Leonard Cohen. Thanks for that.
I Caught Myself in Hamburg (2017) is an obvious one but I feel like I had to mention itā¦ the emotion Hayley fucking pours into this performance makes me want to cry.
Turn It Off live from Grand Casino in Hickley, MN (2017) weāve all seen this one i think? but what an incredibly breath taking performance of turn it off. i mean.. damn.
Fake Happy performed at Rock for People in the Czech Republic (2017) the quality is insane for this one. I remember being totally obsessed with this. so iām adding it here; to share with you.
Pool / Idle Worship in Paris (2018) something must be in the water when they go to paris because i love these videos.
Pool live in Amsterdam (2018) is another one that came to mind cuz the sound quality goes crazy. itās just beautiful.
The full 2018 RED ROCKS show because the sound is great and i just remembered being obsessed with this. youāre kinda cracking my head open like an egg with this ask and i love it.
Paramore at Concrete Street Amphitheater (2018) incredible footage, incredible show.
Simmer live in Bakersfield (2022) i have to add this because sheās gone too soon. like they should be performing this one nonstop. but i also understand crystal clear is a bop so itās fineā¦ iām fine. PLAY SUGAR ON THE RIM OR ELSE!!!
Crystal Clear debut in Dublin / Dreams (the cranberries cover) (2023) I meanā¦.. we all know about the Dreams cover but I just have to add it here because wow. i love it. itās incredible. and the crystal clear debut is just insane because the person filming that knew what they were doing. High Quality to the MAX baby.
Crave / Outro live at The O2 in London (2023) I mean I just love this video. like, whatās not to love.
Speaking of quality, this video of You First performed in Cleveland Ohio (2023) is available to watch in 2610p60, which basically means itās better than your eyeballs. incredible stuff. just insane.
thereās probably a whole lot more i canāt think of at the moment, maybe iāll make a list eventually. but i hope you like this in the mean time. ā¤ļø thanks for sending me this ask and letting me talk about my favorite band. send me an ask anytime (goes for everyone, i love this).
