admnistramation Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I'll settle for Chris' pre-recorded vocals overlapping his own oooo's because it's energetic and full. Paradise is a hollow shell of a sound, you walk away from that song shrugging your shoulders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
getithom Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 This is great live! It brings out a good, loud cooperative sound from within the band. Bravo, Coldplay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuestionsOfScience Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 it's sooooooooooooooo much better! You can hear Jonny's part a hell of a lot more, the drums sound amazing, but chris was so off key during it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiame Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Chris' singing wasn't great during it, he has been suburb with his live vocals recently but he wasn't great on paradise. I think it sounds better live, but I was never a Paradise hater to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busybeeburns Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Paradise live has thumbs up from me, simply because CM is strapped in and doesn't prance about like a moron ruining his vocals AKA ETIAW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTskilled Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Coldplay is mainstrem hm? Paradise ist super poppy hm? Now the piano - exactly as played as in studio version - is a bit louder and its coldplay again? Well, this is... what is it? Hilarious? I don´t know. As I said: People shout "MAINSTREAM" because of some aspects of that song... but now - seeing the live version - you look behind that idea of Paradise. For me it´s still as good as Viva La Vida or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 -Chris's singing wasn't the best the whole concert, but I know it can be better. The whole performance he sang a little "lazier" than he should have. Not really his fault since there are so many factors to this. I strongly believe things will sound better in future concerts. -Jonny on the guitar right away...beautiful. Will and Guy sound brilliant too. Way better than studio. Now I wish the live version WAS the studio version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Leo Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Paradise live was as epic as I thought it was gonna be, while offering a unique live feeling to it as well! I was taken aback by the power of Jonny´s riff in the end: superb! I loved it and can´t wait to see this live myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosesTheMarshmallow Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I was pleasantly surprised at how little the song relied on synth/strings the way VLV does too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it´s still as good as Viva La Vida or something. Yeah, I second that. There are always pro and cons. I prefer the studio version cleary just because the synth action is clearer, the strings are clearer, the effects in the bridges and intro/outro are clearer and this make the song so interesting. On the other side the piano is live better, but I still believe that the studio version is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZonkyTonk13 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I missed the stream concert! Anyone know if it'll be uploaded anywhere? Also, I loved this live version it was incredible! I always liked Paradise, though, so I can't choose either one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackplay Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 The piano is more present and better LIVE but overall I prefer the studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueDeNimes Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I think that in the live version you realise even more how bad the "Para Para Paradise" bit is. It takes too much time before it goes on if you know what I mean. So yes, of course it's better live, but it can't "rescue" the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shred Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I love both versions. I'm a huge fan of the song (the minority I'm sure ;) ) when I first heard it. But the live version certainly made me love the song even more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
