    Now that's some heat

    by thankyougum on 2009-09-03Burton Cummings Theatre - Winnipeg

    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.

    Sounded really good.

    by CougarHunter on 2009-09-03Burton Cummings Theatre - Winnipeg

    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.

    Franz was fabulous!!

    by ummm12 on 2009-09-03Burton Cummings Theatre - Winnipeg

    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.

    Franz was Fun!

    by MISSDJ on 2009-09-03Burton Cummings Theatre - Winnipeg

    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!

    Classic Franz

    by Hurshey on 2009-09-03Burton Cummings Theatre - Winnipeg

    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!

    A band to see live!

    by FranzFanz on 2009-09-03Burton Cummings Theatre - Winnipeg

    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!!!

    Franz Ferdinand was smoking hot

    by Hopper on 2009-09-03Burton Cummings Theatre - Winnipeg

    and the band was good as well. Franz put on a awesome show highlighted by and exit through the balcony. Played all the songs I wanted to hear. Great show!! The Burt was about 1000 degrees up in the poor seats (second balcony). Would never, ever get tickets up there again.

    Franz Live is Beyond Words

    by frishack on 2009-09-03Burton Cummings Theatre - Winnipeg

    You must see this band live!! It added multiple more dimensions and depth to their music, and the interaction with the crowd made the show an experience. Alex's voice is somehow better in person. Highly recommend!
