Paramore's final performance onboard the cruise brought out tracks that haven't been played live since the band's earliest days.
By day three of the Parahoy! Cruise, the guests had gotten their sea legs. The morning opened with the Norwegian Pearl docking at the Bahamas' Stirrup Cay, allowing the cruisers to spend a lazy day on the beach. They came back a little sun-kissed, and ready for Paramore's second (and final) performance of the cruise. Fans began crowding the poolside stage three hours before their heroes took the stage, hoping to get a front row spot for Hayley Williams and company for what turned out to be one of their most unique performances in recent years.

![]() ON A BOAT: Exclusive Pics Day 1: Paramore Rock the Pearl |
Ever think Paramore could pull off a set without "Misery Business"? They did last night (March 9), instead interjecting the usual suspects with a handful of songs they hand't played in years. There was "Miracle," which Williams recounted building from a riff the band wrote in 2005 and finished just prior to recording the 2007 album "Riot." Deeper still, Williams paid tribute to her hometown of Franklin, TN via the "All We Know Is Falling" cut "Franklin," which Paramore had scarcely played since 2005. From that same album, they offered "Conspiracy," which Williams described as "the genesis of Paramore" back in 2005.
