[firedance54]

at 1:08 , is that a cigarette?

[gymnosophy]

I reckon they could be the new Queen.....am I being ironic.....? can you read my mind....

[lebagelboy]

yeah i remember that bottle, it landed a few rows in front of me. Still got me a bit wet though :( An awesome gig though :)

[zulinka11]

my favourite of all times, i was there and got so excited when he started singing it...

[Smilingrox1]

Everyone was!

They got a pretty crappy review from the telegraph.

And the dud - yes, dud (Tim Burrows) - also mentioned that Flowers's head was "skimmed" with a plastic beer bottle.

Did anybody in the audience notice this?

Bummer for him. lol. He got that for what he said at B'estFest. Haha...

I'm gonna get killed for this and will soon have to remove my comment, right?! lol.

[suecoleman1]

I have no idea what youre going on about???? Is it Me???

[welshmoron]

I read this review and got the impression that it was the other bands playing who got the negative review as Tim Burrows said that it all kicked off when The Killers went on stage and that they were at one with the audience. They are absolutely brilliant.

[mystoermerwithme]

the audience, a mixture of post-work professionals and children attending their first gig, waited for the Killers.

When the band entered the stage though, the feeling in the royal park changed instantly. The Las Vegas four-piece embody the city's penchant for showbiz. Front man Brandon Flowers wore epaulettes made from feathers and played keyboard behind a giant, illuminated K. They opened with Human, an electro pop song that poses the curious question, "Are we human, or are we dancers?"

[mystoermerwithme]

The band brought with them a legacy of missed opportunities. In the past couple of years, they have given ill-fated performances at Reading and Glastonbury, during which amplification was an issue. You could sense in this performance a desire to put things right.

They are nothing if not professional. When a plastic beer bottle thrown by a lone chancer in the audience skimmed the head of Flowers, he did not even flinch. Their prettified brand of 1980s

[mystoermerwithme]

Depeche Mode-inspired pop might feel wrong to purists but they have a hold over their audience that is rare.

Theirs is a Springsteen-esque brand of rock evangelism. Disparate groups of people became one as the band powered through past hits such as Mr Brightside and All These Things That I've Done. They did not need to mention Jacko.

moron: THIS IS THE REVIEW. YOU CAN THINK IT'S GOOD. I DON'T.

[wodemingzijiaonisha]

Nothing flew onto the stage, a bottle from Brandon's hand flew off the stage and is now on ebay.

[mystoermerwithme]

Thanks for filling me in, wode.

That is certainly a difference -

have a bottle thrown at your head or throwing one yourself at no one's head... Hm. The press...

[liamomanic]
