<p>There was an assumption that because the venue as changed from the lakeside Docks venue to the Exhibition housed Ricoh Centre, that the more the merry would dance the night away to Franz Ferdinand and Death Cab for Cutie. Unfortuntely, the initial sellout of tickets did not entice a full arena of fans. Even the UK based The Cribs, who opened for the dual headlining bands, didn't rev up enough energy to get people on their feet. It seems that bands like Franz Ferdinand and Death Cab For Cutie are destined to remain club house residents because they require an intimacy that can only be enjoyed with their music. It's not to say you can't enjoy the music, it's just not the same. Even Alex Kapranos, lead singer of Franz Ferdinand, felt a little disjointed from the crowd as he apologized for the venue as it was "awful". Thankfully he followed up by saying that he loved coming to Toronto as it was the Scotland of Canada and that "was a good thing." You'd think if we were the Scotland of Canada that there would be more revelry and dancing. Not so much. Not to fret, though, as Franz did their damndest to get everyone to have a great time. And kudos to them as they did their job.<br>
