There was never a moment when the crowd wasn’t entertained people were on the edge of their seats in the balcony and rarely leaving for food and beverage on the ground. The band was slick as a whistle the entire night with smooth transitions between songs and sharp playing on all four ends. Without missing a beat, they opened their set with the track “Cecilia Ann,” their rendition of a song by The Surftones that they released as the opening track on their 1990 album “ Bossanova.”
#TAKE ME OUT FRANZ FERDINAND CHORD CHART FULL#
The quartet of frontman Black Francis, guitarist Joey Santiago, Paz Lenchantin and drummer David Lovering embraced the Boston crowd-who were full of individuals donning their merchandise and recording with their phones. When the lights dimmed, it was followed immediately by a deafening eruption of cheers. With the crowd now growing antsy for the final act of the night, the near capacity crowd that witnessed Franz Ferdinand was now filled to the brim on both the floor and the balcony for a homecoming of the Pixies. When all was said and done, Franz Ferdinand finished around 8:45 p.m., and it was time for one of the biggest bands to ever come out of the city of Boston to take the spotlight. The group finished their night off with a drum solo performed by Tait and transitioned into their final song of the set “This Fire,” ending their show with a bow at center stage that was met by shouts and claps of applause.
It was then that they performed the track “Outsiders” and soon thereafter, Kapranos made the crowd acquainted with his companions on stage he introduced them to bassist Bob Hardy, percussionist Julian Corrie, guitarist Dino Bardot, Audrey Tait on the drums and himself as the frontman. Once the song was over, the band walked off stage and came back on moments later. Many fans in both the general admission section and the balcony sang along to the track and jumped around with their arms in the air. Their biggest hit “Take Me Out” was played near the end of the set and was the last song prior to their encore. One example included changing a lyric in a song to “Boston,” which garnered a lot of cheers from the crowd.
Kapranos was full of passion and liveliness, jumping around on stage while playing his 1970s Fender telecaster deluxe and changing lyrics to songs to engage with the fans on the floor and in the balcony. Songs performed included “Do You Want To” and “The Dark of the Matinée”-two of their more well-known songs-which were performed back-to-back in the middle of the set. The following 75 minutes of their performance was filled with extremely high energy and a lot of dialogue between the band and the fans attending the show. After hyping up the ever-growing group of fans, the quintet started their night off with the song “Jacqueline,” the opening track on their 2004 self-titled record. The Scotland-based rock band began their night with frontman Alex Kapranos introducing the quintet at around 7:30 p.m., and enticed the crowd by asking if they were ready for the Pixies later that evening. Her impeccably enthralling demeanor and charisma encapsulated the band’s performance and complimented their great gig by ending it on a high note that may have left fans asking for more.Īfter Bully finished at 7:15 p.m., it was time for Franz Ferdinand to take the stage. The final song of their set saw Bognanno get rid of her guitar and get the crowd going. The band’s captivating stage presence, which combined heavy power chords and basslines with Bognanno’s emotional vocals, caught the eyes of the growing crowd flooding into the venue. The four piece band, lead by frontwoman Alicia Bognanno, began the night with a bang. The doors opened at 6:00 p.m., and Nashville’s rock band Bully was the first act to take center stage 45 minutes later. Rock bands Bully and Franz Ferdinand opened for the quartet and set the stage with terrific performances of their own. Boston-based alternative band Pixies, best known for their hit song “Where is My Mind?” and being a massive influence for the alternative scene in the 1990s, had an incredible show consisting of a 30 song setlist. It was an amazing turnout for a legendary hometown band at MGM Music Hall Fenway Thursday, June 8.
