Nothing replaces actually being at the concert, but this comes as close as you can possibly hope to get. I knew it would be better, but trust me this is WAY better. The video and sound quality are astounding, and thoroughly blow away any and all concert footage that Youtube has to offer. I give them a lot of credit though for trying something new and different, and for the most part they succeeded in this aspect.Īs for my worries that Youtube may have rendered this a waste of money? I shouldn't have even given it a second thought.
#PARAMORE B SIDES CD FULL#
If you were expecting and wanting a full concert video, you probably woudn't like this. However, this is definitely a matter of personal taste. The band video segments seemed to be just the right length too: just as I'd be thinking "alright, I'm ready for more of the concert", the concert footage would come back, at just the right time. The transistions between the concert footage and the band video were extremely well done, never abrupt. Some people, including the other reviewer may find this annoying, as it is a bit unusual and there is no way to watch the concert through without the other footage in between. It is broken into 3-song segments, with the band member interviews/commentary and all the additional video footage in between each 3-song concert segment. The main things I was looking for were: good performance by the band (I was pretty confident of that one), good video quality, video angles, etc., good sound quality, and backstage/bus footage that wasn't boring or something I already could have seen on Youtube.įirst, regarding the concert: the main difference this has with most concert DVD's is that you cannot watch the full concert all the way through. However, I ended up getting it anyway, mainly just for the DVD and on the basis of it being a FULL concert, hoping that it would justify the $18 I spent on it. And plenty of footage can be found of the band clowning around and having fun in the bus and backstage. Sure, the video quality isn't that great in most instances, but especially for popular bands like Paramore it is not hard to find lots of videos in passable quality. After all, you can see plenty of concert footage of Paramore on Youtube, and pay not one cent. The first question I asked myself (and the reason I almost didn't buy this), was whether or not it was even worth my money. It has video footage of an entire concert on the Final Riot Tour, lots of video of the band answering questions, having fun, and talking about their life since the release of Riot. The Final Riot is done more in the vein of Underoath's projects, 777 and Survive: Kaleidoscope. And at least it isn't just a simple re-release, with a couple b-sides, maybe a couple acoustic tracks and some music videos. tour, and thus we are presented with The Final Riot.Īt first, it may seem a little odd to have a live DVD/CD coming out after only 2 albums, but then again, this sort of thing has become a trend lately. With Paramore garnering all of this popularity and success, Fueled By Ramen decided to capitalize on it by filming the band's final U.S. They seemed to grow a massive fan base almost overnight, and have gone from just another average alt/rock band to one of the biggest and best in the country, selling out headlining shows everywhere they go. After a promising but formulaic debut album, they expanded and tightened their sound to create one of the best alternative rock albums of 2007, and as it turned out, a career-defining album as well, as Riot became certified Platinum not too long ago. The young guns of Paramore have enjoyed an immense amount of success with their latest album Riot. Review Summary: Skip the concert - buy The Final Riot! Great performance, interesting behind-the-scenes footage, and Her Royal Hotness Hayley Williams: what more could you ask for?
