When The Fray first burst onto the scene in the early aughts, the Colorado-bred band introduced the world to a profoundly life-affirming form of alt-rock: timeless but inventive, arena-sized in scope but firmly rooted in raw emotion. Over the coming years, their soul-searching songwriting and high-powered sound led to earning four Grammy Award nominations, scoring a multitude of Billboard top 10 hits, and amassing a passionately devoted worldwide fanbase. Their single "How To Save A Life" spent a staggering 58 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and became the "unofficial theme song" for Grey's Anatomy. Rolling Stone praised their "stick-in-your-head hooks and eloquent narratives," while the LA Times called their music "melodically rich." The Fray's debut album How To Save A Life (2005) is certified double-platinum in the US and has been declared one of the best-selling digital debuts of all time.

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.
This show was Fantastic. Excellent. The sound was impeccable and whether you are a Fan or not you will walk away amazed.
It was great to see them and their performance was good for the price you paid, but, I found the sound on the floor a bit muffled, and it was too short. Issac also seemed to be straining on his notes, he made a joked that he thought i was getting larengenits but to be honest, i dont think it was a joke. I would see them again
The Fray was absolutely fabulous live. They were enthusiastic, fun and unforgettable.
they were bang on to their albums and more....a great show and great set up
Vedera were a perfect introduction to this double headliner show. Jacks mannequin were all I thought they would be and more! Extremly lively and very interesting on stage. all their songs sounds amazing every member of the band looked like they just loved being on stage. they definately made it very fun. the fray were incredible!! they have such amazing musical ability. all their songs were so perfectly executed and slightly altered to a point where you knew they changed a few things but you loved the way they changed it! they played every single song i wanted to hear!! i highly recommend seeing the fray if you ever get a chance!!
The Fray put on an amazing show at UBC on Wednesday night! What an excellent venue and an amazingly reasonable price for tickets. The four pack was an awesome option and my friends and I could not have asked for a better night especially during the week. The four screens above the stage were a great addition which made it possible for everyone to enjoy the show no matter where you were sitting. The Fray did not disappoint singing all their hits and even some new songs! Thank you for a great night and I hope to see The Fray back in Vancouver soon!
Although I have always loved the Fray on the cds I have I had no idea they could put on such an amazing show live. With Isaak Slades soulful smoky vocals as well as his masterful piano skills and Joe Kings warm rhythem guitar how could you go wrong! I was pleasently surprised to find out that Joe King also sang some lead and was amazing..entertaining stage antics included jumping up on the piano and landing on the keys and at the end trying to kick a beach ball off of the stage with much trouble.Overall the band was tight and the show was great!
The fray was amazing! And, we were given floor tickets from one of the security people so that made it that much better! However, we thought the opening bands could have used a little help.
First opening band, Vedera, had a pretty good performance. They aren't very popular but they got a pretty good response from fans. Second opening band, Jack's Mannequin, was the best act of the night. Opened with "the Mixed Tape" and throughout their performance had a great response from fans. Were very strong musically and lyrically. The Fray did have the best response from the crowd, with many screaming when they stepped on the stage and basically everyone singing along to almost all of their songs. Opened with "Over My Head." Sounded very good. Sang Kanye's "heartless" for the encore along with another song. Overall the entire concert was certainly worth it. Definitely recommend to others!
Wow, I literally do not have any words to explain how amazing this concert was. Jack's Mannequin are fricken glorious live. I almost died, they're one of my favourite bands of all time. And The Fray? I won't even continue now. I think you get the point. The best, hands down.
The concert was great!! Vedera and Jack's Mannequin were super cool and entertaining, and The Fray were awesome !!!!
the concert was my first concert so naturally it hought i twas amazing. what got me was that they sounded almost exactly like they do on their cds. i am a huge fan of Jack's mannequin and loved them. they really got the audience involved,. i though the fray could've done better with that, but they were still amazing also. overall a great concert with great energy.
Vedera-not my type of voice and song Jack's Mannequin-really amazing live, played awesome songs and shared lots of laughs with the audience (love how Andrew plays the piano) THE FRAY-I hated waiting for them but wow did they make it worth it. Being on the road for 8 weeks did not show at all in their performance. Loved the last song "Happiness"
I loved every second of it, it was flipping fabulous
Ok so take this from the point of view of a "not so big fray fan" The concert was pretty good, i believe i got my money's worth, but JACK'S MANNEQUIN was BY FAR the best of the 3 bands
I really enjoyed this concert. The Fray had awesome stage presence and I found them to be really down to earth and appreciative of their fans. They sounded amazing live and I would love to see them again!
The opening bands were pretty good, but The Fray was amazing! They are really really good live. The best band live I've seen.
the fray and jacks mannequin was really good in vancouver! i didnt like how the fray just continually played all their songs in a row without telling stories or anything in between, but jacks mannequin was amazing :)
