CD Review: Live In Paris by Sleater Kinney
Bringing together the best of their songs for live performances, the Sleater Kinney album Live In Paris attempts to deliver that show experience to fans. Hearing the crowd sing along to ‘I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone’ and ‘Dig Me Out’ pulls the listener in and the trio’s power translates perfectly to the live album. While a live album can never fully describe the concert going experience it’s better than scavenging for bootlegs. As a fan who has never been lucky enough to see them in concert, the album is much appreciated. Too bad you can’t see Carrie Brownstein thrashing wildly on stage while listening.
