A Dustland Fairytale - The Killers Live in Minneapolis

[jbhasswagg]

oh my gosh I was at this concert and that was seriously me screaming in the beginning hahahaha I LOVE THE KILLERS AND THIS SONG ESPECIALLY! I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEY RELEASE A NEW ALBUM!

[nurfbar]

do u think the song can be played with drums and guitars only?? please reply thanks!

[TheDevilsWater]

Yes, I think it's possible, if it's organized correctly. I'm not an expert on intrumentation, but I would suggest using both acoustic and electric guitars, especially since the beginning starts off slowly.

[nurfbar]

instead of using the harp at the start, what instrument can be used? im really confused. and i really like the violin sound.

[TheDevilsWater]

You could try either acoustic guitar, or if you have a piano or synthesizer available, you could use that too. Just something with a softer sound.

[richiereiche77]

no way it cant. the master recording is done with 3 guitars, thats why its so dynamic. where is the palm mute gonna come when the melody is playing in the first verse?

this song was meant to be epic.

[bassmangarrett151]

why does he sound like he has food in his mouth?

[classicrockmann]

DUDE!! THE DEVILS WATER!! I WAS THERE!! Where were your Seats at?

[TheDevilsWater]

I was in the 5th row, main floor, toward the right side of the auditorium, where were you?

[goodrichter]

7th row. 2nd to left

[classicrockmann]

I was in the same row! I think I was the one holding the camera towards the left in the beginning of the video!

[TheDevilsWater]

Really? Wow, small world! :)

[m4rt3x88]

Damn this song is fucking great!

[VanCityKyle]

Apparently this song is about Brandon Flowers Mother and Father.... hence when he says the year "61" as in 1961... I hope no one thought he was talking about a 61 year old woman?

[PrincessElisa8]

they're performing this tonight on the late show!!!!!! CANT WAITTTTT!!!!!!! YAYAYAYA!!!!

[VanCityKyle]

they did a great job on the late shoW//

[PrincessElisa8]

i know i saw!!!!!!!! i stayed up just to see!!!! i have it recorded too :)

[VanCityKyle]

I recorded it on my PVR,... lol

[superbius1]

can't wait till the nxt time they r in cardiff .hopeing 2 make it my 3rd time there 4 these guys

[pepemayol]

absolutely bullshit

[TheKillersTopFan]

BEST NIGHT EVER!

[VanCityKyle]

The Killers are my favorite band of all time i would have to say... do you like coldplay as well??

[cuchuleino]

Brandon have a Beautiful voice

[jwaltershaha]

AT 3 seconds the screams,, I think are me and my freind Melissa!!! HAha! It sounds just luke us!

[winserville]

Saw them Saturday in Cardiff (28th). Absolutely awesome, best gig i've ever seen. This footage makes it seem like your there and everyone was just jumping and buzzing. The Killers were clinical but amazing. We all love the songs right!!

[VanCityKyle]

Yeah The Killers are my second favorite group of this decade, Coldplay win by an inch not a mile in my opinion, but thats only my opinion.. "Dustland FairyTale" will be The band's next single and video... "The World We Live In" will be the next single in the U.K... I hope they make a video for both? Any thoughts?

[no1ylf]

i love the new album however "The World We Live In" is not the best on there, perhaps a video for "losin touch"??

[VanCityKyle]

I think the world we live in is an awesome song..

[VanCityKyle]

Perhaps a video for Losing Touch or even This is your life.. I think "World We Live In" is a very simple made song but the whole structure of the song puts chills down my spine.. I'd go as far as saying its one of my top 3 songs on the album.. Aww how can i even put the songs up against eachother its just wrong... The only song i could do without is Goodnight Travel Well... I would of replaced that song with the b-side "Title Wave"... I think Day & Age is arguably one of my top 5 albums!!

[no1ylf]

agreed!! day and age is 1 of the best albums of all time! the world we live in is a great songbut just not one of best the album has to offer d-_-b

[VanCityKyle]

I completly respect your point of view, im just glad you agree that The Killers Day & Age is one of the greatest albums ever!! Dude you got good taste!!! Straight up!!

[liverlicious41]

first row pit! this concert was boss

[TheDevilsWater]

LUCKY! I soooo wanted pit! :)

[jfkilkus]

I was sitting in the balcony at this concert...I was sure it was going to collapse

[Mulchahy]

I love this song. The best off the album by far for me and it is just magical! I can't believe I missed this concert! Stupid finals!!!!! I love The Killers with all my heart. The reviews were great and The Killers are the best. I love them! Day & Age is great! The album just grows on me everytime I listen to it. honestly I was a little disappointed the first time but it keeps getting better and better. Best song. Best band. They should singlize this song!

[o0ber]

Lol, the static in the video makes it sound like he has a really bad lisp =P But thanks for posting, can't wait to see them live again.

[TheKillersSmiles]

God that was an amazing night. I loved this song before - but live it's even more powerful!! Looks like the crowd was more excited by you. I had an enthusiastic clapper (see videos - lol), but the others were pretty lame.

[zeet75]

omg, this performance was beautiful. if they do actually play "dustland" in coachella i will definitely tear up. i love this song, i always get chills when i listen it.

the screaming at the beginning. haha. that is soooo me!! i scream and "wooo" my lungs off at concerts.

[hellekson989]

I wish they'd played this in Atlanta. : ( This is the song I listen to everyday.

[12maggio]

a very nice song

[olargues1701]

my fav song on Day and Age

[evilsbfreak]

Love it! I feel all nostalgic now!

[juanmiguel1144]

Seriuosly, this is an Hymn... This is so powerful, so delicate and so emotional at the same point. Amazing song, amazing album, and obviously, AMAZING band. Hope they come to venezuela. I'll be in england for two weeks in september, hope i can see them live there... Thanks 4 posting

[TheDevilsWater]

I couldn't agree more with you. "Dustland" is probably my favorite song off Day & Age. Hope you'll get a chance to see them!

[PolandSprings16]

Lucky this is the song i wanted them to play off of Day and Age and it was the only song they didn't play but this show was still too good to be true..

[TheDevilsWater]

That's too bad :( But the shows are always amazing no matter what! Were you at the MSG one?

[PolandSprings16]

It was the Boston show at BU..

[auadri]

They didn't play tonight at their show in DC, either. :( The show was amazing, but I spent the whole show waiting for it...

[coltonb121]

Hey do you want do me a HUGE favor...and tell me what songs they played:]

it would be great if you did.

[TheDevilsWater]

OK, I posted it on your page. :)

[suzzed08]

It sounds great live. I cant wait for next month in Dublin!!

[TheDevilsWater]

I know, I was so happy when they played it! Have fun at the Dublin concert! :)

[oreo81107]

Wow it sounds excellent!

[TheDevilsWater]

Thanks! :)

[oreo81107]

The Shadowplay bit at the end is my favorite part. I love Shadowplay!

[TheDevilsWater]

I would've recorded it, but my battery was about to die and I wanted to get "When You Were Young" (which I recorded most of before it was completely dead).

"Shadowplay" is a really good live song though, the Killers covered it quite well!
