Franz puts on a Great show in the Rain!
by LAWNwrangler87 on 2009-09-07Malkin Bowl - VancouverRating: 5 out of 5I have seen Franz Ferdinand play at the Commodore ballroom, so I know they sound nearly identical to the album (hate bands that sound horrible live). Since this was going to be an outdoor venue, I was slightly hesitant to buy tickets, but since it was Franz, I went ahead and bought them.
The day of the show it's raining all day, but once the opening band starts to play, the rain stopped! Sadly, an hour later, the rain picked up considerably once Franz came out. They have great energy and they played tons of new and old songs. The whole crowd was into every song, not a moment of people not jumping around and going crazy. I was able to stick it out in the just behind the front row, but there was tons of dancing/jumping going on. haha.
Next time Franz Ferdinand comes to town, buy tickets ASAP. They are well worth the money, and standing in the rain for 5 hours.
