REVIEW: Paramore played a triumphant show at the Beacon Theater, running through 20 years of hits — and getting fans even more excited for a new album and new era of music on the way.
to a room full of people with every lyric and note committed to memory already. Williams took to the stage like a fireball, with her bright orange hair, a comfort totem for many millennials, partially pinned up like Brigitte Bardot. The band’s setlist was a carefully curated mix of all their eras, giving each of their albums plenty of love.
Williams gave an early PSA that she had incurred some neck pain from whipping her hair too hard in an earlier show. “Touring in your thirties is not quite the same as touring in your twenties,” she joked. Of course, that didn’t stop her from violently head banging to tracks likecut “That’s What You Get.” As an added bonus during that particular track, the background visuals were that of a Nokia cell phone, the perfect tribute to the pop-punk Aughts Paramore rightfully ruled.
The second half of the show was an invitation for the crowd to “put on their dancing shoes” as they moved into a funkier selection, particularly a fewthat was released in 2020 and 2021. She gave a little taste of what those live shows would’ve been like, performing the brooding rage anthem “Simmer” bathed in red lights.
The band ended their main set with “Misery Business,” a song they meant to retire in 2018 but have been encouraged to bring back by Eilish, Rodrigo, and millions of other fans who can’t quite quit it. There were many reasons they tried to let their biggest hit go, but the biggest was that the band no longer wanted to promote the type of slut-shaming message the song has. But in bringing it back, Williams made sure to note that the song can exist as a classic while recognizing its problems.
The encore was a sweet tribute to the fact that Paramore found ways to be bigger than their emo roots. Some may argue that they got better in the years following the pop-punk heyday they were so integral in popularizing. The group blasted through “Still Into You,” off 2013’s. They’re living proof that the best is yet to come.
