Colorado alternative rockers The Fray have given fans of Counting Crows and U2 a new generation of melodic rock anthems to call their own. With the release of their third studio album Scars & Stories in 2012, the band took an edgier approach to their songwriting, scoring hits with singles like “Heartbeat” and “Run for Your Life.” Despite more aggressive lyrical content, the piano-driven songs still found a soft spot in fans’ hearts, earning the album a No. 4 position on the Billboard 200. If Scars was successful, the band’s self-titled sophomore album was even more so, debuting at No. 1 upon its 2009 release and earning the band a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album. Formed in the early 2000s by classmates from Denver’s Faith Christian Academy, The Fray’s 2005 debut How to Save a Life went double platinum, bringing them worldwide fame with the international success of its title track. On tour in 2013, the band has wowed ticket buyers with their impressive musicianship and emotionally genuine live concerts.
The concert was excellent- from the opening act of Scars on 45 to the final song sung by The Fray! Isaac Slade's interaction with the crowd was amazing and unexpected. I have been to 4 concerts by The Fray and this one was, by far the best. Hearing more solos from Joe King would have made the performance even better!
Brilliant show by a fantastic band. I did not realize how talented they were - vocals were strong and the band was tight. I've never listed to their music before, but am now a fan. Strongly recommend seeing their live show.
Lots of their songs sound the same but it didn't really matter. They perform so well and the lead singers voice is even better love then it is on the CD.
This show blew me away. The band is AMAZING live. They played a lot of new songs which was great, as well as all the old favourites. The band invited the audience to come out for a drink at a local pub after the show and I had the chance to have a drink with them afterward, talk and get pictures with them all. Amazing guys, amazing music.... <3
With the small venue of the Opera House the best part of the concert was the complete acoustic version of Happiness that Isaac did. Simply amazing.
awesome show! of course they are the fray.. you can have a bad show with them
Sound was awesome, band is always spectacular live, better than on the records!!
I absolutely loved this concert. The venue was perfect, and the music was fantastic. I would highly recommend seeing a concert by The Fray.
i thought i would love this concert because i listened to the Fray's debut album non-stop. I would haveto say i was somewhat disappointed. You weren't allowed to use flash photography because it irritated the band. They only played for an hour tops. I have been to over a hundred concerts and i don't think i would go see them again. The bar closed as soon as the band came on. They came across as pompous.
Great venue, very personnel. Amazing entertainment value of show, performance was earth moving. They sounded better then the CD.
This venue provided the perfect intimate atmosphere for a band like the Fray. The acoustics enriched the sound and you could barely tell that it wasn't a CD. Absolutely amazing.
I thought they were ok. However would have enjoyed it more if they had more songs out.
I knew only a couple of their songs but went to the Concert with a friend....the best decision EVER!!! They blew me away!!!
The performance was definitley one that I will never forget! The music means so much, and seeing them live made it that much better. All I can say is that I just wanted to play their cd over and over once the concert was done.
Hadn't heard more than the band's singles and had decided to go to the concert on a whim. The band and the vocals were awesome! Isaac interacted with the crowd and performed like a true rock star despite losing his voice. Would definitely recommend the show!
They lacked any interaction with the crowd. It basically seemed like listening to the album word for word.
Great vocals, first rate! Great venue and so fun!!
I'm a big fan of The Fray, I think their albums sound great, and their live show is no exception. I'm a little disappointed at the entertainment value they give though. Watching the show was a bit like watching them practice for a gig. Maybe they are a bit shy, and maybe some people dig that, but if I'm spending money to see a show, I don't wanna be ignored.
I found the concert to be a little boring. I like a concert where you get to know the band members a little by the stories that they tell. This was a very impersonal concert with minimal audience interaction. The concert was also only 1 hour and 15 mins. long which is not an acceptable length of time in my opinion.
Tight set... Incredibe sound. Would definitely go to see them again. Highly recommend this show to anyone.
