Just Right
by mrwashburn on 2014-07-14TD Echo Beach - TorontoWhat an incredible show. First time at TD Echo Beach and first time seeing The Fray. Great venue...nice and intimate. Getting to be right up close to the band without paying a fortune to a scalper was a treat. Not sure how I'd have loved it if it was raining and cold, but that's what beers are for I guess :-) (But at $15.00 for a large can, not sure that would work either). Not often are bands better live than on their albums, but these guys are tight. Nothing flashy, just straight ahead rock/pop that fans of the band expect. The sound was amazing...not sure why others who arrived earlier were sitting way back? By far, the best first 5 songs to open a concert I have ever heard, just in terms of selection and execution. Can't wait for the next one. My only complaint, other than the gouging for alcohol (although I understand to a degree why its necessary) is the trek to the washrooms. Way too far.
