The Fray and Jack's Mannequin!!!!!

Last night Miss Moon and I went to a concert. Seems we are becomming concert buffs. The Fray and Jack's Mannequin were playing at the Comcast Center. It was in Mansfield, MA, a little south of Boston. As you may or may not know it has been nothing but rain here in New England. We had never been to the Comcast Center but I knew it was outdoors. It didn't really occur to me that we might get wet until we were in the car. Luckily I had brought a jacket but Miss Moon only had a sweatshirt. I found a towel (from when we went to the beach) and a rain poncho in my emergency kit. Even armed with this artillery we discovered that we were close enough to the stage to be under the roof. We didn't get wet at all.

Richard Swift (someone we had never heard of) opened for them. We were not too fond of the music, it was more like we could take it or leave it.


The band I know Miss Moon had been waiting for, Jack's Mannequin of course, came out next. They opened with one of my favorite songs, Dark Blue. We were so excited. They stuck to a lot of their older hits, but threw in some new ones like Spinning and of course, The Resolution. Miss Moon was starting to get ansy when they hadn't played her favorite song, The Mixed Tape. She was so happy when they did though.


When the Fray finally came on stage (they set up the stage for forty-five minutes) the place went crazy. Let me tell you they did not disappoint. Then again its The Fray so why would they. They played everything that I wanted to hear. I'm not the biggest fan of The Fray by any means which means I didn't recognize all of the songs. The songs I didn't know were really good though. On top of that they played that Kanye West cover, Heartless. I didn't think they would play it but they did during the encore. Overall a fantastic time, even with the horrible rain.
Can't really see anything in this picture I just thought it looked cool.
