The Killers performing "A Dustland Fairytale" on David Letterman 5/11/2009

[NaturAlyssa17]

My mom was friends with them when they were teenagers

[katiebaby825]

This is one of the best live versions of this song I have ever seen

[tigerflea]

Hardly a "full orchestra" now.

[55156388]

umas das coisas mais lindas que eu ja vi!

[55156388]

umas das coisas mais lindas que eu ja vi!

[matt10LFC]

...just came

[JG129]

Love this song, listened to this about 100 times today haha

[goodassjob1985]

how does a song like this not have at LEAST a million views. good to see true fans of rock music though. almost glad to see not that many views. its still our little secret. so leave the bourbon on the shelf and we'll all drink 2gether.

[betobunkero]

Épico, potente y hermoso.

[heart4freddie]

this is a beautiful and amazing song. mrs. flowers raised a wonderful young man.

this song is so powerful. brandon's light just keeps growing and growing, he's

going places

[drodriguez35]

Epic...

[yasminbling]

Surreal.

[StopUnumNow]

Brilliant!



[katykat0000]

the killers are the best band ever! great performance! can't wait for Brandon's solo album! then i hope they all get back together soon! i'm just gonna keep telling myself that they are just taking a break... The Killers rock hard!!!

[MyDustlandFairytaleX]

I LOVE The Killers!! I am going to miss them!

Awesome performance for an awesome song!

[reneebigsur]

[reneebigsur01]

i wake up to this song every morning!!!! love you brandon

[shellbreaker64]

this is magical. nuff said.

[DibsWife]

lol, this is so random but once i was in an elevator listening to Neon Tiger on my

MP3 player when i heard an echo of this song play so i turn off my MP3 and this was playing in the elevator i was like "THE KILLERS!" and some guy gave me a weird look, buy i don't care, i was ssooo happy that i heard my favorite song in public.

[MarcusKiner]

The album version doesn't do this song justice.

[rosagirl33]

Ray and Ronnie FTW!!

[77QuArEsMa17]

class. simply class..

Brandon's voice doesnt change a bit when he performs live.

David is probably the best guitarist there is right now.

Ronnie vanucci is probably the most intense drummer ive ever seen.

And Mark jams that bass.

[DXTMC]

I think Matt Bellamy is the best Singer/Songwriter/Guitarrist/P­ianist there is right now.

[theonlythor]

He actually is

[jlrottyn]

goosebumps

[Jobizzie]

Great band, I didn't like most of day and age but this is an amazing song.

[Brutis94]

Fantastic!!

[vicodin25mg]

Fuck, what a performance...they keep on getting better...

[DibsWife]

yes, they do

[supuhfanng]

anyone notice how brandon doesn't know what to do with his hands?

[delta0307]

that's how he sings. watch all his videos live. that's his style

[DXTMC]

Hahaha!

[DibsWife]

no, no, i don't see why the rating on this comment is so low, cuz i TOLTALLY agree with you

[Rorivo]

I fucking love the Killers

[SodiumFreeVideos]

I love this performance!  It's even better than the album version.

[Cayet]

Grande

[pamacute]

moved

[Einar404]

epic...

[meloncanoe]

That was so beautiful I wanted to cry.

[amcp24]

I thought I was the only one who was so touched....

[WildmannRocks]

This music played with the orchestra is just perfect, the way it builds up its just amazing, I just can't stop hearing it!

[77QuArEsMa17]

and this is why they call them the killers..

best american rock band. period.

[mexdodge]

AMAZING!!!

[pinballwizard8394]

dave letterman is a huge douche.. on the other hand the killers are not. and they are too good for him ;)

[l77481]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[EnragedExplosives]

They're amazing live!

The stupid thing is that I actually thought it was the Studio Version, then I realized it was way too good to be the Studio Version.

[philsonhsv]

i saw them May 31st in Hamburg, Germany! WOO! be prepared, its gonna be orgasmic!!!

[dannlark]

I'm seeing them tomorrow at Hollywood bowl... beyond words how excited I am to see them!!!!

[zeet75]

i'm seeing them tomorrow too! :D

[dannlark]

Best concert EVER!!!! I had a blast and can't wait to see them again, hopefully soon!!!! They ROCK!!!!

[Splooshiba]

[mohsoldier2]

Pure awesome.

[skatezero11]

[Evisiling]

i know its amazing! Best performance ive ever seen!

[Veddster]

[evdragon]

[MarcusKiner]

They just pwned any one who ever had, has or will ever perform live again.

[KnightVampiric]

[musicforever621]

i love them SO much! they are INCREDIBLE live.

[spiderk132]

Phenomenal

[knowlesygirl]

Awesome! They rule and I'm so glad they're coming to South Africa to play..cant wait to see them live!!

[BuffaloBillups]

They Rule

[josuemomo]

it sound so good live, this band is very talented

[roysebas]

Since Day and Age was out, this has been my favorite Killers song.

I am glad it got such a wonderful treatment and exposure at Letterman.

zeet75, thank for the vid and for the mp3, it goes straight to my ipod..

I am leaving on a Vegas trip tomorrow, and having new stuff from the Killers will make it even more enjoyable that it should be.

[zeet75]

you're very welcome. :) have fun in vegas!

[Westige30]

didnt they perform another song that night as well, i cant remember though, help me out

[musicforever621]

nah, they didnt. i still have this letterman on DVR. it was kinda a win win too, because it was an interview with tom hanks. woo :D

[m4rt3x88]

[WildmanJB91]

Easily my favorite song from the new album and unbelievable performance! If anyone has the sheet music for this great song, I would really appreciate it!

[tommyaquinas]

I dictated the piano/harp part at the beginning. Doing the same with orchestral part. Would love to get it performed as in video

[ADamy03]

wow

easily

one of their best performances :D

gr8 band - well THE F'ING BEST BAND EVERRRRRRRRR

[Gabybraca]

Great Song!!! I hope can go to the Concert and see them again! - 27/11 Buenos Aires - Argentina!

[SalcaMleka]

omg it shows so much that he has a lot more energy in him while performing this song that he can handle... simply awesome performance!!!!

[GinaAtherton]

such an awesome performance, i never appreciated this song when the album came out but since seeing them perform it live and this performance it is one of my favourite killers songs.

[01355]

epic man! thanks alot for putting this on!

been looking for it ever since it got taken down!

cheeeeers :D

[zeet75]

you're very welcome! :) i'm glad you enjoyed it.

[D36614L]

F$%¡# Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RYANcanada1]

I know rite

[VanessaKrystle]

WOW. This literally took my breath away. The orchestra sounded *so* good. It really added to the ambiance of the song.

[TropicalKiwi]

I just saw them tonight! Front row at Horseshoe Casino Arena!

[zeet75]

awesome! i hope you had a terrific night! :)

[btq06]

ME TOO. U from Louisville?

[TropicalKiwi]

I'm from Indianapolis. Drove 2 hours just to see them. I saw them at the Murat and it was such a great show I knew it was going to be worth the gas and time to get there.

[dwyci]

Go Hoosiers!!

[Improbable0possible]

pitch perfect

[tcstylist]

I was supposed to see them @ lollapaooza

[aussiesocks]

Oh, yum. Best band ever. Seeing them live in September!! I dream about it all the time. Heehee.

[fourminuteswiser]

I loved The Killers from the very beginning. The first time I heard this song when I had bought the album, I fell in love with it! They are my favourite band, I'm so obsessed!

I've never had the fortune to see them live :( I'm hoping one day.

[nicknu]

Best band of the moment - cant wait for the next album

[zeet75]

its going to be a while for their next album but they will be releasing a covers album hopefully by the end of the year or next year.

[Sargenta0Pimienta]

3:13 - 3:21

Perfection.

The Killers are amazing

[migueton]

I totally agree with you, those chords were the perfect idea! I even like this version better than the studio one!

[geraldjbc]

I love this performance, and the orchestra wasa nice touch. Was Paul Shaffer conducting the orchestra?

[abie8891]

thanks soooo much for the mp3 of this performance ive been looking everywhere for itt

[zeet75]

you're very welcome! :)

[aussiesocks]

Gosh, thank you! I love this performance with the orchestra. :)

[medianissimo]

stupendo!

[iaatloc]

most amazing performance ive seen in a long time. song is too cool for school

[stardolljamster]

I love this version, and I also love the album version.

[rovcmty]

great performance

[NiggieTheMagicalJoo]

love this version.

[93Hondax2]

amazing love the killers

[dannlark]

bought tickets on Friday to see them in Sept at the Hollywood bowl. Can't wait to see them.

[zeet75]

i'm also going to the hollywood bowl show. :)

[Lilypad1394]

Why does he only have this passion live? I would have loved it if he had this much emotion in the studio when they were recording this for Day and Age. I just love this version so much.

[zeet75]

this is a great version but i think the album version is amazing too. usually album songs are a lot tamer. remember that when you sing live you have an audience, the adrenaline starts pumping, and you have the task to bring a song to life. that's probably why you can clearly see the passion when they play live. :)

[Lilypad1394]

I agree that both versions are amazing. It's an all around beautiful song. :)

[englishbanana]

Awesome group.

[Jwkartz2]

My nips actually got hard from this video.

That's how amazing this is.

[foskey3675]

hahaha yea me too

[zeet75]

he hasn't fully given up the eyeliner. he rocked the eyeliner at this year's coachella. haha.

[InAPearTree21]

Oh my goodness. That's just incredible. 3:30 was just really moving, I'm not sure why. That is the reason why we love them.

[fraq81]

that small pause around 3:15 is just amazing !

[Burnzy0015]

one of the better live bands ive seen

[Pegnraul06]

Wow!! Brandon moved me I almost cried to see how he is so pationate.Luv the Killers!!!

[Lilypad1394]

I feel the same way. He gives me chills at 3:30.

[starfieldbsd]

Pardon my ignorance, but could someone please tell me the meaning behind this song / I find it to be over the top incredible.

[morphius51]

The song is about lead singer Brandon Flowers' parents.

[willow04]

his father was an alcholic.

[ukjasperx28]

why was this downvoted? his father really was an alcoholic. Bling(Confessions of a King) is about his dad giving up alcohol and his religious conversion.

[flamingNaziZombiez]

yeah i heard its about his parents

[Mekana1985]

Why does Letterman say a producer signed them a month ago? They've been around for years!

[zeet75]

just an attempt at making a joke. david letterman got married about a month before the performance so he was just making a joke about how he "had" the killers perform at his wedding and they got "discovered" there, so he's just "taking" credit for the killers' sudden success.

i know its not the funniest joke ever... haha.

[morphius51]

It was a joke, that's why the audience and the lead singer laughed.

[Mekana1985]

Gotcha. I didn't actually watch the whole show, just this little clip.

[padredekalel]

Awesome!!! Great Song, great band. Una de las mejores canciones del album

[toremor1]

no song?

[DedeCali15]

?....do you mean 'sick' in a good way or in a bad way?

[Goosedance]

They are perfect! One of the best voices ever.

[starfieldbsd]

Absolutely amazing. They are quite incredible. Lead vocal has such range/variance - the band - the orchestra . . . everyone is so together.  I've replayed this I don't know how many times.

[jamesTherunner09]

nice comment

[Logan21soccerplayer]

Nicely done killers your still kickin ass!

[morphius51]

Haha, the guitarist has no shirt underneath.

[raisaibis]

madre mía qué pasada...

[niniamoxxa]

omg! you can feel the energy!

[PaulSnowProductions]

3:18 was epic. Awesome performance.

[dobermancrazed]

no joke! epic is the perfect word for that. man!

[henriquefox21]

Perfect

[Aaaaaaaa91]

This performance is just brilliant. It's amazing how great The Killers is. It is the best band of all time, and definately the best live band on earth.

Awesome!

:)

[PATUSCetc]

Someone send me thw audio.

Omg imagine it as a ringtone? Always hearing this beauty, Wow. Please do it for me.

[zeet75]

i've just added a link on the side bar where you can download the audio. :) and this would make one beautiful ringtone! i'd be answering my phone every time it rang if i had this as my ringtone.

[pplundquist]

Oh my this gave me goosebumps. This is my favorite band. I couldn't watch it on tv and I PISSED.

Can anyone send me the audio please?!?!

[zeet75]

there is a link on the side bar where you can download the audio. :)

[BrambletalonWarrior]

Yeah um, who cried watching this again? I just wanna say, I cried because I WASN'T watching it. Honest, I sobbed because first my mom said we could watch it, then she said I could watch it alone, and then when she found out I was able to find it online...thank-you zeet!...she made me go to bed. WTF?!?!?

[zeet75]

haha. you're very welcome. :)

[rcdenner]

I'm glad I am not the only person who gets goose bumps when I watch/hear this!

[ashamedtorise]

I know the lyrics & my comment was unsophisticated. where I live the good girls DO die, & watching that performance made my heart inflate & my eyes spring tears - hence out here (where I live & where good girls die) a good girl (me!) cried (because I love this band & I love anyone who feels as I feel when I hear them. I shouldn't have explained myself but some things are too important.....

Still I thank you.

[zeet75]

you're very welcome. :) i cried so much while watching this performance , i still get chills when i watch it. this is the most beautiful performance i have seen and the killers are more than just a band for me. :) overall this was a flawless performance. thanks for your comment. :)

[jamesTherunner09]

this one has better volume then the 1080p 1 and thanks for that! fav'd

[StarIightFTW]

Hah I love it :D

[dobermancrazed]

Haha sorry i keep commenting this video, but at 2:25-2:27 brandon and mark and jumping in sync =P

[dobermancrazed]

oh my god, this only gets more amazing every time i watch it! i keep thinking i'll get used to it, but i don't! i only get more and more shocked every single time!

[maddiexsaurus]

[fulhamhamster]

[00Jazzzzzzzzzzz00]

[dobermancrazed]

[Yoooern]

The killers are fantastic :D

[ashamedtorise]

Out here a good girl cried!!

Thankyou for sharing.

[sailrock22]

it's "out here the good girls die"

but it is one of the best lines of a masterpiece :)

[05ajday]

i thought it was "how did the good girls die"

[sailrock22]

nope, its definitely "out here" :)

[Fiennas]

if they were all i could listen to for the rest of my life i would be JUST FINE
