​Last night, we caught up with Isaac Slade for a few minutes as he was sitting aboard a plane on the tarmac at DIA waiting for his flight to take off. With the eagerly anticipated hometown, Denver date of the U2 360° tour now behind them, Slade and the other guys in the Fray were making their way to Salt Lake City, where they'll once again warm up the stage for U2. We asked him to share his unfiltered impressions and he gave us the scoop on a birthday gift he got from Bono and the boys. Click through for some video snippets of a couple of new songs from Invesco this past weekend, and then read the full interview.
