The Killers - A Dustland Fairytale (live on Letterman) HD (new)

[Verbatim2232]

The song alone is beautiful but with the orchestra working to flesh it out, it leaps off the screen.

[Songbird18Sings]

This song is beautiful...

[Mr8Brightside]

The best video on the youtube... The Killers are gonna make history, and i'm glad to be along for the ride. :)

[12millin]

this guy can rip emotions out of you that you didnt know you had ! awsome !!!

[paulidc]

This seriously makes me cry

[paulidc]

Doctor: What's the problem?

Me: I have a weird liquid coming out of my ear

Doctor: Let me look around (he looks around)

Doctor: Oh its an eargasm, have you been listening The Killers recently?

[AbDuzIt702]

@paulidc LMFAO!!!!

[joepack15]

this is my fav killers song

thx 4 posting great quality

[dannyamplex]

They'll tour again for sure... My guess is 2013 after they release their fourth album in late 2012.

[arinross523]

@dannyamplex do u kno that for a fact? i need them to come back, now, especially, that we got Strokes and Radiohead back on the scene

[dannyamplex]

@arinross523 I don't know it for a fact to be honest, ronnie the big vannucci is releasing a solo album in the summer and doing a few shows. The killers did announce they will reunite in may 2011, but as for everything going on right now with the end of flamingo tour and 'Big Talk' from ronnie, the killers will probably reunite and begin recording in the late summer of 2011.

And the killers always release their albums in the latter part of the year they will probs release the album, 2k11 autumn,

[arinross523]

@dannyamplex dam i can't wait brother. them and The Strokes were the kings of the 0's. i hear Flowers has been gettin into drugs and stuff, and perhaps he's falling into that egocentricity that, say, Waters and Lennon fell into when they got big. thank you for gettin at me though man

[dannyamplex]

@arinross523 i meant to say they wil probably release their 4th album autumn 2012. Apparantly they are going to take their time with it! :)

But i've not heard any of brandon and drugs... :o i hope not anyway.

:P

[TheErn5]

@arinross523 I can't wait either gentlemen.. Truly one of the under-rated greats of these days! As for Flowers and drugs, I would be willing to bet its been quite the opposite. His attitude has really humbled since Hot Fuss and Sams Town, and he has become more religious it seems. Last I heard he quit smoking, and possibly drinking too. The interent is filled with articles on how unusual his standards are in the rock'n'roll culture (although he's not perfect). What a great band none the less!

[feenyfighter]

do you think they'll tour again

[ph33rbenkthankslol]

3 dislikes, whats poor tasters (i anticipate)

[MrPashok]

@ph33rbenkthankslol

Someone has heard you, now it's 2

[ph33rbenkthankslol]

@MrPashok lol

[goodassjob1985]

This is not just music. This is indesrcibable. This lacks NOTHING. Even the camera angles and timing are DVD quality. After you finish one of your best live performances EVER.... you seem shy to talk to David Letterman.Humble....humble.. I hope Flowers does not stay solo. I dont think he could do better without the killers. Nor could they w/o him. Solo projects give you the chance to do what you want w/o corporate interference. Only if your in a popular Rock and Roll band. i know he's not done

[MARVELZOMBIE616]

Damn, Ronnie is tearing that shit UP.

[sameerpatel105]

pure brilliance, i wish they would record this version of the song with the strings...

i cant listen to the original no more knowing this is out there...

awesome

[vato3389]

2 dislikes? do they live under a rock?

[hoodoopoet]

This song always brings tears to eyes, just gorgeous!

[xxxbeggixxx]

epic!!!!

[Suka00]

theres a reason this stuff makes it to the mainstream...so amazing T.T

[Jurassicparkz08]

Their drummer always makes me lol, he just seems to look funny in every performance.

[LauraWhoknows]

He has the most unbelievable smile in the world. No jokes. 

[foucker2]

MOST EPIC PERFORMANCE EVER!

[guy41465]

It just doesn't get much better than that. The orchestration was perfect for this song. I love the cd version but this is infinitely better.

[StopUnumNow]

This sounds better than the track on the CD. Excellent! 5*

Many thanks for posting

[GMano07]

Best Video EVER! THE KILLERS ROCK ROCK ROCK the Very Foundation I'm standing on! David Letterman is so cool, you can tell he really likes these guys.

[heart4freddie]

this is an incredible performance and an unbelievable song Brandon wrote for his mom. RIP Mrs. Flowers. thank you so much for posting this.

[Aikidzedzy]

ive never listened to this song where it hasn't given me goosebumps the whole way through.... the world needs more artwork music like this one

[dawng1]

So incredible I'm speechless!...But can you make the links fade away, they're a little distracting.

[ZoostersBreakout]

why is ray never in the music videos?

[TheHazary]

@ZoostersBreakout Ray isn´t a band member, he is a great musician paid to work with The Killers.

[gussmorales]

Grandioso!  AWESOME! =D

[thejoester1995]

whose the retard that doesnt like this!?!?!?!?

[daved4984]

one of the best songs ive ever seen

[tt0x]

this vid is awesome

tnx for uploading

[NukeTheMoon]

Who the hell disliked this video! What is wrong with you!

[wildmikeman]

@NukeTheMoon hell ya amen! I was thinking the same thing

[Strentanator]

3:39 gets me every time, a great touch which separates it from the record.

[Insid30ut]

@Strentanator i agree 100%. 3:39 made this even more phenomenal than the song studio recorded in my opinion.

[it5ju5talx]

good video, but I'm not sure if there are enough links on it?

[trinz26]

Wow! Took my breath away. I love The Killers

[zomj]

I still think this is the best live version of the song. The violins and the whole orchestra in general just made it awesome and really powerful at the end. Wished they did this song with a orchestra more often, but I guess it would be weird to bring in a bunch of people for just for just one song in a concert. :P IMO, definitely up there with some of the best musical performances on Letterman.

[mirypedri]

me encanta!!!!!!!!

[thekillersobsessed]

Love brandon's jackets! He's SUCH an awesome singer! Aww, Ray at the back rockin' out X)

[medix9]

This song speaks to my soul.

[PutOutTheFireBoys]

Oh my goodness! That was absolutely the most beautiful thing i have ever heard! This song is so emotional.

[Bassmastapotamus]

YES TIMPANI MAN!!!!

[chidocq]

fukin awsome

[Bassmastapotamus]

wow...this give sme chills...

[Helenr]

Wow that was spectacular. The orchestra really makes this...

and the part at the end when Dave says, "lets ride around in a van tonight and, TEASE people...." hahahah!! (ref the Kimmel sketch that I think is Hilarious)

Thanks for this...

[TheCure39]

graememurphy7 yeah i've got it ... AMAZING : ) .. but if they do another : )

[reneebigsur]

brandon,,you rock,,and,,,drummer,,you are a star!! this song reminds me that my cellist son chose his passion!!! look,,,old people in the orchestra!!! to all youngsters that are pissed that your parents "make" you be in orchestra,,believe me,,,THIS is your destiny!!! i LOVE you my son, alex!!! you are my pride and joy!!! xxoo mommy

[graememurphy7]

quite simply the best !!! great song best band and a kick ass gig

[mediamananger]

This song is fkn perfect! Killers rulez!

[TheCure39]

if the killers ever do another live dvd-cd the should do it with an orchestra

[graememurphy7]

@TheCure39 - they have a dvd - live at albert hall, not with orchestra but great DVD check it out -- its great

[hartss]

@graememurphy7 Love the DVD. I burnt the soundtrack onto my car's audio hard drive and it is now my official morning commute soundtrack!

[bonsai624]

Truly one of the best live performances ever!

[cosmos4]

amazing

[Marcianow]

Beautiful.

[ImNotDrunkITellYa]

R.I.P JF :(

[foote78]

awesome!

[botneva]

oh I meant "talEntless". and I forgot to add:

this is the best fuckin' perfomance I've seen in my life (and I've seen quite a lot of them).

[botneva]

this song is not only beautiful, it's awful sad and every word in it is just heart-breaking. maybe because it's true story. it's honest, and that's why is tragic. I think everyone saying that The Killers are talantless should first listen to this. and to "Goodnight travel well" which tears you apart everytime you hear it.

[amaranta31]

@ botneva: I totally agree with you on this one... I was "afraid" at first to name this song my favorite on day&age only because it's so painfully beautiful. However, you get to see bad comments on The Killers only on their released videos and not on their live acts, which means that those who write them are people who have no clue about this band, on how they sound like in a live performance or what's the story behind their songs. And this makes those comments meaningless ;)

[jaxparrow]

I'm not religious, but the feeling I get from watching this is, I'm guessing, what a religious experience must feel like :D

[heyywsup]

first live performance of the killers i've ever seen.

simply amazing & perfect in every way. <3

[TheHazary]

What a fantastic performance!!

[rosagirl33]

Geez I love Ronnie so much!! haha!

[Isafanhp]

totally agreed with that!

[killerflowers3]

amazing....

[foxheadspeed]

duuude come on strings make it!!

[Stelth2k1]

fuckin awesome video best thing on youtube!!!

[RestTonight]

YES! YOu absolutely right!

[ootscat123]

this is completely lovely

[jeminiany222]

best video on youtube.... the killers rock my world, been to 4 of their shows!

[thekillersobsessed]

@jeminiany222 I've seen better videos but I still love it, of course! They rock my world, too. So disappointed that they're going on a break but at least we have new material to look forward to. You're so lucky to have seent hem live! :D

[dannyamplex]

"because there is no magic in the midnight sun, or did you leave in back in 61, in the cadence of the young mans eyes. Where the dreams are high"

[it5ju5talx]

Is there still magic in that midnight sun, or did you leave it back in 61, in the cadence of a young man's life, out were the dreams all hide

[dannyamplex]

oh my god get over yourself, and make a better name you tard man, and how do you know they are correct!?

You don't deserve the right to comment on killers videos if your just going to correct people- GO away!

[it5ju5talx]

loud noises!!!

[RestTonight]

best band in the world, fuckin'!!

[pcelicamya]

i so love this version... makes me cry everytime... :'(

[divine619]

They sound so good live! I wish I could go to their concerts.

[jeminiany222]

thanks for posting this, its fuckin awsome.. and so are the killers!!!!

[bihon15]

oh god Brandon's voice is superb. and Ronnie...wow he's really passionate.

[purplepotatoe92]

Brandon may have awsome dance moves, but Ronnie makes the best facial expressions.

And I love how at the end when Dave is trying to be funny, Brandon is pacing back and forth. haha

[ccrman2000]

I love how Mark just has this look like Letterman is a prick thinking his best days are well behind him.

[amaranta31]

I love the way the violin bows synchronize... amazing live performance!

[hartss]

Hadn't seen this in a while, but went back to my favorites list and viewed it again. Simply spectacular. One of the finest live performances I have ever seen. Brandon was magnificent in this, as was the drummer. Stunning talent!

[StrongHeartSoldier]

Chills go down my spine when they hit the high note at 3:41

[BOOMSItsLAUREN]

I don't get the hosts jokes? :s

Amazing performance, I love the killers :D

Probably one of the best bands there is today. :)

[satsumafire]

That is truly one of the best performances I've ever seen and I've seen a thing or two. Thanks to the Killers and thanks for uploading. Rock and Roll will never die.

[CrazehMike]

Po-ah-pular?

[marwood03]

Wow, I'm a Killers fan but they are becoming epic during this Day and Age tour!

If you like this you should watch them at Oxegen 2009 and T in the Park 2009, absolutly brilliant.

[wiggles19841]

w00t seeing them in november

[lKoril]

he looks better with the stache :P but i still love the killers

[Sunburn2007]

ew, no. he looks dumb. when he turns 50 he may.

[joebox77]

This is just the most amazing performance I've ever seen in my life!

[djorcks95]

the song sounds so much better live. wooo!

[YeahJustNick]

this song sound so much better live

[59chantal]

Even better than the cd version.I love the orchestra & how they add to the song but.....what the feck is Jimmy Page doing playing on the bongo's???

[fightingfoos]

This is the best and most powerful performance I've ever seen on a late night show. But theres no way The Killers can get all the credit for this, I didn't realize all the violins and stuff that go into this, thats what makes this song so special.

[Jeancarloecsa]

AMAZING !

[ImNotJLennon]

I love love love this! The Killers are the absolute best :-)

[Sayoyiner]

Brandon shoe´s dont like me XD

[BCocker87]

emphatic performance. best live band iv ever seen! love the killers

[camash879]

Amazing, Simply Amazing!

[spee10]

Wow.

[19chimp24]

best performance i've ever seen on letterman or leno

[matty1071]

i luv tis sng

[ifeline]

And I still love it, ...

since 4 months...

I will love it for the rest of my life

Killers foreva

[LMCLMC1008]

Well...it doesn't get any better than this. Live or otherwise. From the beautiful harpest to the drummer, Brandon Flowers and those ending guitar licks. Terrific!

[JennyOndioline]

This is an amazing performance and thanx for posting such a high-quality vid of it!

[regisk]

Touching!

[fabixyard]

they´ve reached the level where anything they do is well done

[friedaism]

awkward pause? he's giving the audience a chance to stop, before he launches into the second half of the song, incredible to say the least.

[NerdGogo]

This is actually one of their best ever performances.

So much energy and intensity.

Excellent.

Best band around. If you disagree, listen to Goodnight Travel Well and tell me that song isn't breath-taking!

[wiggles19841]

I love the drummer is i didn't know better I'd say he was off his tits on E's but apparently (and i know this is shocking) but people have good times off drugs personally i can't even get up in the morning unless i've been to sleep *note to self stop drinking and posting*

[MonaLodgeProductions]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!

lol LP!!!

[qVICKYq]

love Dave's solo at the end..... absolutely amazing!

[PrincessElisa8]

i could never get tired of watching this<3 it's too amazing esp. 3:39 to 3:45 gosh i love the emotion<3333

[nurfbar]

lol. same here! i heard this song was abt his mother maybe thats why he could relate so well to this.

[faeriegeek]

Brandon's such a douche and the concerts kind of suck, but The Killers have some sweet music.

[MarcusKiner]

O_o So you know Brandon personally do ya? And every concert I've seen, has been awesome lulz

[faeriegeek]

Brandon's personality shines through in all of his words towards other bands. He has a big mouth and is jealous and he's admitted to that.

Also if you've ever seen another big band like The Killers live, you'd know that The Killers concerts are sort of disappointing in comparison.

[MarcusKiner]

Don't believe tabloids, listen to the interviews he gets criticized for, he's actually got good points. And I seriously doubt you have seen them live? Here in St.Louis, we've got this thing called Point fest where big bands come through, and The Killers were better than any of the headlining names.

[faeriegeek]

Yes. I have seen them live. They played about 18 songs and though they are not even close to the worst live band I've seen, I wasn't overly thrilled with them either. : /

And about Brandon's personality and points. Eh. He's just not my type of person. People's personality comes through when they talk and I'm not a fan of his. That's all.

I still cosider myself a fan of the music though and I hope the continue to put out albums for a long time.

[MarcusKiner]

I feel you, not everyones cup of tea =)

[faeriegeek]

T_T

[vuutilainen]

You're a moron.

[faeriegeek]

Maybe, but it doesn't change my opinion on Brandon and how the band is live. : )

On CD and in music videos they're just fine though.

[tany3000]

thanks for adding this new video with better sound and image quality, epic moment!!!

[wiggles19841]

huzzah!

[Sillyusername23]

This is an amazing preformance,

[wiggles19841]

Me too!

[Tehn00busters]

[wiggles19841]

[MarcusKiner]
