how to save a life



i went to see the fray live yesterday with liz and two of her friends. it was an awesome concert. awesome! yay for being 19+ so we could go to the balcony, away from the screaming members of the leguna beach fanclub, where there were seats and tables. sweet deal. :)

brandi carlile opened for them and she sang for so freakin' long. like, 2 hours long. aghh. she wasn't half bad, but she was definitely not the fray either. i liked a few of her many many many songs, although most of them didn't really appeal to me; some were just a tad too hokey (the last song sounded like a country hoe-down. no joke.) and she did this wierd country twang thing with her voice a lot that i wasn't a fan of. she DID, however, sing one of her songs that was featured on grey's anatomy, so that kinda made up for it. kind of.

as for the fray, they were great!!!!! :D the lead vocalist/pianist, isaac slade, sounded so great live; he sounded exactly like he does on the CD! i have no idea how he managed to sing so amazingly WHILE playing all this cool stuff on the piano. it was amazing! the electric guitarist did all this wicked cool stuff with his effects pedal, and the bassist even had an effect pedal too! (he made his bass sound like it was being bowed or something...it was very cool.)

all in all, a great concert. :)

pics from the concert can be seen here.
