The Graytest Showman
by Joe James on 2024-10-06Budweiser Stage - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5Very theatrical, Conan Gray did not disappoint. He comes across very real, while at the same time, larger than life. His band was on fire and supported his tunes wonderfully. The lasers and stage set made a great backdrop for his great catalogue of music. Saying this was his biggest headlining show ever, the Toronto crowd showered him with love, singing along with each song and if you think he broke down and cried, then you are mistaken. It never happened. Like Conan said, that was NOT a thing that occurred. His set was fantastic. My only complaint is this phenomenon of young concert goers who seem to think that SCREAMING the lyrics is a show of fandom. By all means, sing along. But why do they feel the need to screech the words at full volume? We all came here to hear HIS voice singing HIS songs, NOT screaming individual words with zero rhythm or attempt to be musical about it.
