Photos: No Doubt and Paramore in Boston

Great photos! I'm actually working on the State Farm No Doubt Tour this Summer - and all the shows will be as good as this one! Any fans that are interested in getting flown to Vegas to see the show / meeting the band, check-out sfmusictour.com.

I might be biased (as a No Doubt fan) but the ND set blew me away and more than exceeded my expectations. They have really brought up their artistic game (hello? awesome 1960s b-movie playing during "Ex-Girlfriend"? Futuristic set?) so much. They were the real reason people came. People were pretty stoic during the Paramore set and I was let down. All Hayley did was shake her hair out and skip. Hardly living up to the hype that surrounds Paramore but I guess they aren't really a live band.
And at one point during "Let the Flames Begin" they ACTUALLY started some impromptu worship session. I got pissed off. Then they did "Decode" and we all waited for No Doubt so it was cool. I thought that if Paramore and No Doubt did a song together it would be cool but I guess each act was targeting a certain demographic (even though No Doubt stole the show). I did notice that during the encore in "Sunday Morning" Gwen didn't say "F--- YOU! NOW YOU'RE THE PARASITE!" but there were Paramore fans in the audience, so yeah. Still an ace show. I'd better be quiet now.
