The opening act, The throwdowns, from maui were actually good. like most opening acts, the audience was not totally into them, but they still were one of the best opening acts I have ever heard...think paramore mixed with no doubt but younger a local. lots of potential, and I know they will be headlining someday soon.
next, Brendon Urie of Panic! at the disco came out to play 5 hot songs...his set was WAY too short, the sound quality of his voice and his music was really crisp and clear and I could hear everything he was singing/talking about. his cover of "dont stop believing" by journey was a crowd pleaser, and everyone around sang along
The fray came on, and their lighting set up was AMAZING-those guys really know how to put on a good production of a show. the only thing i had a problem with was their sound quality was really...muffled and quiet-unlike the previous two, which were loud and boombing. most definitely the highlight of the night was when the fray came back on for an encore of kanye's "heartless" and then stayed on for three more hana ho's (Hawaiian for encore)
