raise the stage or make it slanted flooring so everyone can see the band!!!
Franz Ferdinand was AMAZING and they did all their HIT SONGS!!! no bs but all good music. HOWEVER, why the heck was there a 2.15 hr wait? The opening band was pretty bad (especially after making people wait for an HOUR) and then they took another 45 min to get the stage set up. WTH? I had to leave early so I didn't see the whole cocnert of franz ferdinand - and even though I enjoyed the band immensely, I feel that the whole show is a rip off!!!!! I said I wouldnt recommend a friend NOT because of the band - it's because of how Odeon is organizing this concert!!!!
This was my fourth time seeing Franz Ferdinand and they didn't disappoint. They have loads of energy, love their crowd and are really fun in concert. The only downside was the venue itself -- it was +28 outside and I'm pretty sure the Odeon doesn't have a/c. The heat inside was absolutely unbearable!
The Odean event centre was shaking by the end of the night as everyone jumped up and down to the crazy rifts of the 4 boys from Glasgow....I was not the only one to be soaking wet from dancing , steam was rising up to the balcony as people whistled, sceamed and chanted for more......they delivered the goods.......and more!
I really enjoyed this concert. Franz has such a unique sound to them and a great stage presence. Their music sounds amazing live, really great show.
I wish I had known they would not come on until 9:15. Much of the sound was garbled. Could not hear words being spoken by lead singer. Luckily I knew most of the songs so that helped. They are such a great band that even songs I did not know were easy to like. Inspired me to buy their older cds. Too bad about the venue - or maybe it was just poor sound quality in the second balcony.
The Franz Ferdinand show was amazing and full of energy! I hope they come back so I can go again.
Franz Ferdinand absolutely rocked the Burton Cummings theatre - their energy was high throughout the show, which lasted 1 1/2 hours, with 2 sets. They played a mix of songs from all their albums, and had us dancing all night. I just wish it would have been on a weekend so that I would have had the energy to keep up for the whole show!
From the start, the show was amazing. Surprisingly, the opening act, Think About Life, was actually pretty good, and got people on the floor dancing by the second number. The people on the floor would only increase as the show went on. If the first act was alright, the real show would only get better. Franz Ferdinand was amazing. The energy in the room was palpable, as the band moved around the stange. The first part of the show included all of their hits, which, familar as they were to anyone who's listened the radio lately, - I swear, every time I turned it on, a song of theirs was playing - were even better live. The band kept moving on stage, and kept the audience moving on the floor. The first hour was solid hits after hits, till my friend and I wondered what they could do next, having played all of their big songs. We were dissapointed when they left the stage after only an hour, and thought maybe that was all they had to play. We were wrong. After a short break, they came right back to what we assumed was an encore. Instead, it was more like an intermission for the band. Another hour would ensue, with more vamping than I've ever seen. Long solos showed off the drummer in particular - till all three other members of the band joined him on the single drum kit. I'd never seen so many people play on one kit before, in unison. It was pretty awesome. Unfortuntely, not everyone got a chance to appreciate this. The venue was built in 1907, and obviously doesn't have air conditioning. After an unseasonably chilly summer, the day of the show managed to be quite hot. With all of the bodies packed into the place, particularly on the balconies, it was ridiculously hot and humid. Despite the emergency exits to the fire escapes being open for air, the breeze wasn't felt more than a couple feet from the doors. I saw more than a few people simply leave. The show was amazing, but I guess some people just gave up. Franz Ferdinand was great, but the Burton Cummings Theatre, as wonderful an old building as it is, just let us down. There's a reason not that many things are scheduled there in summer. I guess they thought by now it'd have cooled off.
It was an amazing show full of energy! Me and my friends danced and sang along for the entire show and we all had an absolutely amazing time.
I really enjoyed the show. What a set list....these guys have so many good songs.
Amazing show! Possibly better than the last time they played here. Nothing but smiles!
OMG!!!!! Best concert EVER!!!!!! Amazing Band!!!!!
best live performance i have seen. this heart thumping set was well put together and quite fun.
They sounded very much like their records. Their first set was most of their hits, and the second set was a lot more electronic. All around good concert, but I would have preferred it if they dispersed their hits through out both sets, so that they were a little more even.
This was an unforgettable event hosted at the Burton Cummings theater. Even though we were seated in the second balcony, third row from the back, the sound was wonderful and they played all of their well known songs, and some not so well known, but still great. Overall, this was a great concert and I'd definetly see them again.
Overall a good concert...I'm not a die-hard fan so my review may not be entirely fair. Sound, was good, lighting was ok (could have been a little brighter at times). They played many of their "hits" early on in the show which kind of blew it for us people that aren't die-hard fans. BAD = temperature was almost unbearable up on the first balcony!
This show was amazing! Never a dull moment, and they kept on playing even with Paul's kick pedal breaking at the beginning of a song, and some sort of speaker glitch at one point. They had the whole theatre up on their feet, and it was a fun, hot and sweaty (literally) night! Awesome show guys :) Come back soon!
I came in with high expectations, and they were blown away.
This concert started with all the members rocking away. One of the best concerts I have ever seen by far. These guys know how to rock and get you pulled in. All of their songs played live are soo much better live. You have to see this concert!!!
