U2 Tour Dates - Now Official! — Page 90

Ladies, I am back from the best concert I've ever been to (The Killers). I'm sorry, this is very hard to say, but it tops U2 for me. *runs and hides.* The whole thing was just amazing. I think it was a combination of the people around me and my location and the whole atmosphere. I was in the front row, right in front of the stage. There was a group of trailers to the left of the stage, surrounding a wooden deck. The band members wandered around the deck before they took the stage, so we got to observe them to pass the time once we were inside. Jay-Z and Keanu Reeves were also there, which was cool. Louis XIV played first, and they weren't bad. Then The Killers took the stage. They played all the songs from Hot Fuss except for "Believe Me Natalie" and "Everything Will Be All Right," and I wasn't too bummed about missing either of those. They also played some other songs (a B-side and a new one). The good thing about the fact that they have so few songs is that there's a pretty good chance of hearing what you want to hear.
Random funny moment: during Indie Rock 'N Roll (possibly my favorite song of theirs), while Brandon was singing "Stay if you wanna love me, stay, oh don't be shy, let's cause a scene, like lovers do..." this guy ran on-stage singing and tried to hug Brandon. A security guard came and dragged him away pretty quickly, but it was funny. The band went along with the song but Brandon was grinning and laughing for a while.
The energy was amazing, and Brandon is such a drama queen (he takes after Bono). He gets so into it. Because I was so close, I could see all his facial expressions and movements. Oh, and when he's playing the piano, he's similar to Chris Martin (except standing up); he bends his head right over the keys and gets so into it. I took 68 pictures, and I'll post a few to show you my view.

Okay, I'm tired, so last one. I'm off to bed!
