As far as live albums go, this is an extremely strong release. Paramore's discography at this point consisted of fairly standard material, but do they know how to up the ante on the live stage. The songs from their first albums sound infinitely better on the live album with tighter instrumentation n better vocals. And then there's the expanded sections made solely for the performance. Hayley dominates the her role with strong vocals and charisma, but the other members aren't far behind, especially drummer Zac Farro who rips through the setlist with a freedom and abandon not seen on the studio albums. Paramore have put in alot of effort and work into this live performance, and the results are excellent.
