The Fray Live at the Electric Factory, Bootleg No. 1 by Fray

I love this album, despite the audience being slightly annoying at times. I understand their excitement though, as it would have been awesome to be there. My favorite track is "Trust Me." I could listen to that intro on repeat for the rest of my life.

OMG. These cats rule. How to Save a Life brought tears to my eyes. Same with All at Once.

I really commend The Fray for their excellent talent in and out of the studio! This live album is a great representation of the talent and emotion shown when seeing/hearing The Fray in concert. They put all of their feeling into these songs, which is obvious by the crowds reaction. It is hard not to scream every word of How to Save a Life when experiencing them playing it live. Isaac Slade does a beautiful rendition of "You are So Beautiful" at the end of "Look After You". If you have not had the chance to see The Fray live, or just want to experience it one more time, you will like this album. It is rare today to hear a band that sounds as great live as they do in the studio, but The Fray definitely does!

I must say the Fray live is amazing! all the songs are very deep and there are some great vocals/How to Save a Life:5/5She is: 4/5 but becomes 5/5 in the second half or soAll at Once: 5/5Heaven Forbid:5/5 Best vocals on the album and a cathcy melodyVienna:5/5 great lyrics very touchingDead Wrong:4/5 good but the is not as catchyOver my Head (Cable Car): 4/5 good, but overplayed, and does not seem to fit well with everything else on the albumLook After You: 5/5 great music: vocals, melody, all amazingTrust me: very relaxed and quiet, a great closerWith almost all these songs their chorus and/or middle is the strongest part (Vienna, How to Save a Life, Look after You) and their beginings tend to earn a 4 rather then a 5 but almost all amaze you by the end of the song.

First of all, they sound pretty good live. As for this CD, it kind of reminded me of Dashboard's Unplugged CD. Most of the audience sounds like teenage girls as whenever the band performed their hit songs, you hear the high pitch screaming in the background, and they sing along word for word. If you are a hardcore Fray fan, you might enjoy some of the tracks where Slade talks to the audience. On one, he starts out, "It's a poem that I wrote as a small child...."
