The Killers - Human - Live At Abbey Road

[akdfheokrh]

brandon took "peacocking" too literally...

[SHRINKINGVIOLET24]

Another corking song From The killers WOW!! this song is very Dear to my heart I played it loads and all the other amazing tracts from The Killers while Pregnant...I delivered my Beautiful little daughter into the world while this Beautiful song was playing.....I will NEVER get tired of hearing it!!!!!!!!!!!! thanks again for the Video!! xx

[citizenjamie]

i'm not religious in the least but i looked into brandon flowers and he's a religious guy. i kinda feel this song could be him talking to god and askign him? i dont want to start a debate i just think it could be about that.

[rgutierrez84]

There are 11 Dancer in the Youtube crowd... why???

[dockie1964]

Are the Abby road sessions available on DVD? If not, they should be..

[dockie1964]

@dockie1964 Abbey* ..!

[MsStarAquarian]

This version of Human with the instrumental studio background is pretty good. Still my number one favourite band since 04. An even though they are are totally fab at there music first and for! Brandon's still all nice looking, more so with age, notice he still gets nervous though bless x

[Ica217]

this is a great version indeed

[are1076]

:')

[Riku99]

people are still saying its not dancer? catch up....

[MsStarAquarian]

Oh Love It :)

[AnaAmoreJ]

It is dancer go to their website they sell t-shirts that say "are we human or are we dancer"

[scfgolfs1]

Beautiful 

[Silviatube2006]

If Morten Harket said this is a great band he has to be certain....great song

BTW

[stevenphillips23]

3:13.... magic!

[rudyrb9]

@stevenphillips23 I just turned this on just so I could hear that part before bed....I <3 The Killers!

[cosmos4040]

Head firmly up his own arse. And why has the middle eight been shortened?

Otherwise OK

[underaveragejoe123]

Jason lee plays drums?

[bopettroy]

2:30 - 2:42, is it different from album version? the female violinist's face is like "not sure wrong lyrics or spontaneous performance". : )

[thecj1405]

class

[skater10000100]

9 people got killed by the killers

[edu1995ish]

wow!!!



[ShoesNasty]

1:15 his hand shakes...hes a bit nervous but he sang it great :)

[KirillStorch]

why does it sound like the vocals are overdubbed sometimes

[builtbybloodandrage]

@KirillStorch cause he grabs the mic way up and produces that effect

[dayiita1]

dancer or denser? 

[pok0000]

What s the guitar the guitarist is playing?does it says fender on it?

[hcss21]

@pok0000 yeah it does!!

[bangooable]

@pok0000 Fender Starcaster, they're very hard to find nowadays

[XDmarcsyoXD]

he says dancer, but he means denser

[KilledByFlowers]

@XDmarcsyoXD No no no no, it's DANCER. Brandon has said so and that's how it is.

[XDmarcsyoXD]

@KilledByFlowers but it makes so much more sense as densor, but oh well if he really just meant dancer then the song has less meaning to me.

[KilledByFlowers]

@XDmarcsyoXD I actually think 'dancer' gives it a lot more meaning once you truly understand what it means.

[XDmarcsyoXD]

@KilledByFlowers it doesn't matter too much, it's a nice song. :D

[XDmarcsyoXD]

@KilledByFlowers it doesn't matter too much, it's a nice song. :D

[TheLifeOfANewYorker]

@XDmarcsyoXD its dancer

hes trying to use dancer as a metaphor to us humans having our lives controlled by other people

[XDmarcsyoXD]

@TheLifeOfANewYorker oh well that is more clever then, thanks

[gurjitdhesi]

@TheLifeOfANewYorker pretty sure its denser, are we human or are we more

[Epicsinger]

@TheLifeOfANewYorker Isn't he singing denser?

[TheRed201025]

@Epicsinger Nooo lol

[philophile147]

@TheLifeOfANewYorker

control by other people or just str8 up physical determinism... which would make the song a mediation on cartesian dualism i.e. question of free will vs. fate, mind vs. matter.

[EdwardVg1]

nietzche F.

[MrWeak1212]

oh my god!!! 3:05-3:15 GOOSEBUMPS!

[calvinzhobbes1977]

Love the killers. Live @ Royal Albert Hall is a better fit for Human.

Human -slow w/ violins just feels wrong.

[thewriter1008]

@calvinzhobbes1977 I think I actually like this version better.

[juluca27]

best version of this song I have seen.. wonderful!

[MsPoprockgirl]

I am a new Killers fan after watching the Abbey Road studio live recordings.  Awesome performance, just excellent work! Ashley from Tucson

[thewriter1008]

Is it just me, or does the tone of his voice change A LOT on the second verse?

[gromold]

@thewriter1008 i think in the first verse he is trying to show how controlled he can sing, and in the second verse he lets go and feels the song

[secretzebraattack]

omg i love this song but i just cant place where ive heard it b4....

[AriaRoyce]

He skipped some lines... i think he is high here

[FrozoneNetworks]

One of my favourite Killers song :D

[mrsbookthief]

1:48 --> BEAUTIFUL CLOSE UP <3.

[mrsbookthief]

i love love love bands that can totally pull their songs off live <3. and this blows the album version out of the water...

[francisgumm]

This song is beautiful live. Brandon is beautiful....yeah wow mmmmmm

[mhudzik]

Look, Colin Farrell playing drums!

[cHiKaDiNg58]

@mhudzik LOL more like Earl is playing the drums... (My Name is Earl)

[willlify]

he shud sing those kinda parts more often!

[kingyoha]

thank u so much! i m smile

[psycho4thall]

they can sing this same song 300 times, and even this way, every single version would be diferent, awesome!!!

[anaceci3083]

just brilliant as always... I'm so waiting to see if the make a new record soon!!!!!

[MrFelix1812]

8 people are not Hu

[princeup1989]

Nice song actually,but this version to slow

[woolfdevile]

@princeup1989 well the Jacques Lu Cont version of Mr.Brightside is slower than the original, but I find it much better

[neontiger1995]

I though this was one of the worse songs of the Killers ever, until I heard this... What is this amazing

[kellyactormosgoog]

Is it just me, or does he seem scared out of his mind the entire video. Not saying anything was bad, but his hands were shaking pretty violently in certain parts, and it didn't sound like that voice tremble was entirely on purpose. Just curious if anyone else noticed...

[lordsangone]

@kellyactormosgoog too many heads and not enough stems if you know what i mean. he should of smoked some kaya to come down first before singing. lol. it would of relaxed him a bit. good performance nonetheless. lol.

[overtrevo]

i sing that song to,watch overtrevo

[mileko243]

Mejor canción del 2010,2011,2012 y por siempre no me odien jajaja

[MrFadeCatton]

June 24th Baby!!!!!!

[bella73272]

Human is it???

[PANDEMI2010]

8 people is not human. lol............... fail

[JMSaezD]

Awesome! Good "Human" performace

[nitemoovs]

Would you fuck off with the story about the jacket

[tiffanymay26]

LEGEN wait for it... 

[MrNmmg]

I love this song so much. And this version I could listen non stop.

[darrellspivey]

Flowers looks.. Different in this video.

[larika14]

omg... they are brilliant. he is so amazing. great voice... and... he is 29 and he has 3 kids! :)

[NerdGogo]

Hmmm... I like the song but I don't like this version. It's too slow...

[mrsaturday3]

This is a great video. Abbey Road videos never disappoint.

[lococz]

i so fucking love this song! it reminds me of my childhood

[NerdGogo]

@lococz It only came out in 2008 :P

[MrRinikuka]

i love yoooouuu!brandon.....

[arthur89the]

Legendary!!!

[wiskap]

1:42 oh my God that's great.

[cooony06]

brandon and the killers are the best :)

is very very very cool everything :D

[TheFightingPheonix]

I think I like the original better...this one has too much detail, the other seems much clearer and simple.

[doriang12]

Wow, the man can sing!!!

[PSNfruitrollup11]

I like this song live more than the radio

[Vitaminbach]

It's like B. Flowers is channeling Pavarotti at 3.08. Borderline operatic!

[josephfbrundza]

who could not like this

[burmalompatbekbek]

damn it....it awesome....i LIike the orchestra part when they changed the song to better

[chriskev9]

Inspiring song

[Lanroder]

better than original

[leviatan2410]

THAT 7 NEGATIVE ARENT HUMANS OR DANCERS

[sahsahsah]

love it

U might wanna try W a t e r m i n d - "From the start" / "Other Side"

.

long live 4 the Killers !

[jackTKbrightside]

he missed a bit out :O wtf lol

[missfrenchie0]

Awesome 0.0' I love this song ... It make me feel better ...

[jmacphee2434]

I have tears in my eyes everytime I listen this song at 3:00 when there is just violins and Brandon said "You've gonna let me goooo"

[lococz]

@jmacphee2434 me too

[slushpup9696]

Sure, Brandon Flower is sensational, but I have always admired Dave Keuning, the guitarist. Mr. Brightside, When You Were Young, All These Things that I've done... he's written some really great guitar riffs. And a you can hear it here too, it sounds different from the album version. Arguably better though.

[unh69]

this version gives me chills at the end

[GoWithTh3Flow]

Nice 'stache Donnie! :p

[MsAlexis4444]

@GoWithTh3Flow Ronnie lol :)

[BVOcean]

he looks like johnny knoxville

[imPathogenic]

omg brandon is so lucky... you know all those hot girls in the orchestra are obsessed with him

[slushpup9696]

@imPathogenic He's great, but I bet you made that up. Still likely though.

[ivandelic]

youtube.com/watch?v=t1KElYvkeA­I

[LaFa661974]

what a voice, it sounds so fragile and is again so strong. Incredibly beautiful. Like this version so much. AMAZING!*

[MeLovesTheKillers622]

It's are we human or are we DANCER?

[LoveisintheStars]

@MeLovesTheKillers622 finally SOMEONE gets the lyrics right. It's based off a Hunter S. Thompson quote...I don't understand why people refuse to accept that it's dancer, not denser.

[MeLovesTheKillers622]

@LoveisintheStars Me neither! And sometimes they like to make it plural, nope it's not dancers either. There are tons of interviews where Brandon says that it's dancer, he doesn't like when people think it's denser.

[davethegrimreaper123]

@MeLovesTheKillers622 Denser?

[mRt9922]

@MeLovesTheKillers622 No, it's "Are we human or or we CANCER?"

[burmonzereg]

Are we human or are we denser?

[MeFranklin88]

its DANCER!!! ffs

[AreUDancingNow]

Wwwwaaaayyyyy to let "IT" OUT Brandon! This version gives me chills... What a VOICE! DON'T YOU EVER GIVE UP! Wishing you WELL.........XO

[AreUDancingNow]

Wwwwaaaayyyyy to let your VOICE OUT Brandon! This version gives me chills... DON'T EVER GIVE UP! "WALK ON".......XO

[TheBren22]

It should be illegal to be that awesome. It is not even fair for people to compete with that much awesomeness

[addie435618]

The KILLERS are Kings!! <3 Love their music/lyrics/melodies!! they might save the world someday!!

[danielguyfuchs]

its not "are we human? or are we dancers?"

its actually "are we human or are we denser?"

as in more compact together than human. think about it...

[addie435618]

@danielguyfuchs its "are we human or are we dancer" - Brandon said so himself.

:) if that helps

[samsdayfuss]

lol. i love the humor/ this is a song about the bliss in giving up and blaming the world for it.

[cjar344]

is it even possible to dislike them?! damn...live and studio-both are epic. 10 *

[cRaZyRoCkIs]

this was the first song that make me fall in love with this awsome band named The Killers

[Defender78]

for a band named the Killers they sure have a soft sound... anyway they should go on tour with the string section - wait that would be too many ppl on stage at once, nevermind.

[innismor11]

Great rendition. Kudos for bringing the strings in .... I often feel so many songs can have a good rendition done with strings added (strings are not just for orchestral works).

re: "Are we human, or are we dancer", they aren't Flowers' words. He took them from journalist and anti-authoritarian, Hunter Thompson. Thompson was lamenting the sheeping/herding of Americans afraid to find their own way.

[poormomma100]

Strings sound = beauty:?)

[declanmcardle]

Still can't beat the SNL 2008.10.03 version, MTV's VMAs Liverpool '08 version also rocks

[MrDf1993]

I have no idea why I keep seeing comments with cussing. This ain't heavy metal people!

[ellioteaston93]

Brandon you fucking genius!!!! you are the best!

[magpiemaniac]

Five youtubers aren't human.

[pennfarms]

does it skip at 2:35 or is that the mix?

[TheBren22]

@pennfarms it skips a few words from the actual song.

[pooisgood123]

This is pretty gay.

[MrDf1993]

@pooisgood123 Gay as happy? You could say that. (I know what you mean. I'm just pretending that I don't. :p)

[tagc1136]

if you are human, and you love this incredible song. LIKE

[Daddadye]

Y all his suites have those horrible things on the shoulder?

Nice video btw

[saspurstx2120]

Day & Age has COMPLETELY changed how I feel about the Killers. My 2nd favorite band now (behind coldplay) ....this music just might save the world one day.

[cherkassky92]

Never seen an ugly chick that is a violinist

[MrDf1993]

@cherkassky92 That's freaken mean of you! It's completely wrong to judge someone like that!

[cherkassky92]

Never seen an ugly chick that is a violonist

[MrDf1993]

@cherkassky92 Freaken mean!

[Iamnicodemusthegreat]

Heard this the other night on LAAR -- such a great enhancement of the original! Thanks a million for posting! The group is extraterrestrial!

[evenivan]

Love the song, but I think this version is a bit .... too much?

[TheBren22]

@naklip tear you apart you say another word about the killers

[ncalpay]

One of the BEST musically arranged, and vocally matched songs around. - just brilliant!.

[camilosc]

fuckin great!!

[FalineFrench]

He's also what heaven LOOKS like. I met him in Vegas after their 4/17/09 concert. I said to him (while his head was down signing autographs) "Brandon? The jacket?" he said, "Yea?" and I ended, "Would be nothing without you". He "Brandon laughed" and I lost all consiousness. I was fortunate to get 2 pictures with him (the first blurry and he gratefully let me take another) but was so star struck I remember nothing after he put his arm around me. Thank god for digital cameras. <3 <3 <3 <3

[TheBren22]

0:00 to 4:24. great.

[CrazyShwazy]

@TheBren22 thats the best part of the song

[TheBren22]

dancers, is the awnser to the question on your mind.

[TheBren22]

if the killers did an album of all there abbey road songs that would be sweet.

[TheBren22]

just to be in an 100 mile radius of the killers would be totally awesome.

[Louisthefish23]

Been there, and recorded there with my music tech group, i feel so honoured :)

[MsTroubadour001]

fly baby fly

[thesoulcrew]

i agree with you chuck1990bbthis guy is very underated. you listen to his voice closely it,s superb.

[cherryromance]

quee Bonitoo suenaaa ♥ Brandon canta diviinooo (:

[MrFriendliest]

I think there's something magical about Abbey Road. Like, the spirit of the Beatles still resides in this place. Never seen a bad performance here.

[flerb00]

Dude this song is the climax and epitome of what made Day and Age the Killers best album since Hot Fuss, this song is absolutely amazing and ask any real killers fan and they'll tell you the same thing. I'll admit this album sounds totally different from any of their other stuff but thats why its so freaking good!!! Your completely wack dude.lol Get off of whatever it is your smoking 1stkillersfan.

[bradders747]

@flerb00 Couldnt agree more :)

[thekillers1stfan]

this song is the apex of what went wrong with day and age
