i like what they did with "paris" obviously this song needed zero production when they brought it into the studio. but they weren't just going to record a live version of the song for the new album.  i need to listen to the whole studio album in its entirety several times over before i can really get a feel for any of the songs individually. a studio album is a whole different monster and the one song is more like a piece of a bigger puzzle with a theme to it. i like the new edge this version of "paris" has and when we hear it on the radio u will be surprised how fast u fall for those "ooh-ooh"s they actually are placed perfectly.  i am impressed with the way the band is willing to shake it up and take chances i think they really pulled it off, as they did with tiny light on the ellen show.  studio/live its apples and oranges no doubt.  but i like 2 have my cake and eat it too and the more i hear this band the more i hear confidence in their playing.  2 say paris is their best song live would be a pretty bold statement but it just might be the case (not counting the endorphin overloading ballads ;-).  the shows r strong straight thru, the energy and all is there the whole time, but that paris groove is just super nasty.
