I didn't see the SNL Frankie but I did see them live in Toronto a few
weeks ago. They definitely a good time. They played "Born to
Run" for their first encore, the lead singer (no one appears to be named
Frankie BTW), announced the song as "an American anthem" to which the
mostly nationalistic Candian crowd sort of hissed at.
They don't appear to have much original material: Two Tribes(*), Relax(*),
The World is my oyster (welcome to the Pleasuredome), a few more I forgot,
but they also take other songs and play them, not even "Frankied" up. At the
concert they ended up playing Relax twice, not that I didn't mind, but
it seemed like a short concert.
The ones they do play they put a fair amount of energy and had the place
really moving. I suspect NBC wouldn't let them play much of their
better material due to the subject content(Relax and Krisco Kisses sort
of apply here) and length(Two Tribes, Pleasuredome).
