one of my all time favorite albums;

THE FINAL RIOT! - Paramore (live in chicago)
- this album is one of my favorites for 2 reasons; 1. it was recorded live in chicago! and 2. the vocals are amazing. listening to other bands perform and record live without the producers magic wand and macbook is quite uncomfortable. i don't mean to diss any bands, but i haven't heard many bands that sound good when recorded live from concert. usually when i listen to a band live they sound nothing, and i mean nothing like the vocals on their released album. but paramore/hayley williams vocals are amazing. they don't sound hoarse or strained. she sounds just like the album and a lot of bands seem to sound like a dying cat. possibly i need to listen to more bands live but there are only a handful of bands that can sing live, record it and sound distinctly the same. but that's my opinion.
