In all most all of the other preformences by other bands in Abbey Road they have hearing pieces of some sort to hear themselves. I don't think Brandon has any so he can hear everyone around him louder perhaps. You can really hear by the shaking of his voice that he's almost overly excited. Talk about adrenaline rush, standing in the middle of everything there :]
Alright - let me say this first. I LOVE the Killers. They're one of my two favorite bands. Moreover, I love this song. But I really don't like this performance. I was linked here from the Letterman Live performance of this song, which completely blew my mind. Brandon has such incredible energy live, it's really amazing. However, It seems that everyone is trying to hard. Flowers is almost rapping at some point, trying to bring energy that's not there, and the pause at 1:19 is just plain awkward,
@Violaghost Sometimes you miss it just a bit. Probably an attempt to avoid the jukebox syndrome. If the sound quality is bearable, I tend to give it a shot...
I EFFING LOVE THIS SONG AND THIS BAND. seriously, anything more amazing than this right here? nothing. nothing except the founding of God and reproduction.
Everytime I hear these guys, I literally feel every chord, every verse, and every beat right down to my bones!! Love love love love The Killers!! They play their hearts out every damn time they hit the deck...The end!!
What makes theses guys great is the fact that they look like they are performing in front of 100,000 ppl all the time. I don't think there was an audience there but you would never know by the way they were playing.
A dustland fairytale beginning Or just another white trash county kiss In '61 long brown hair and foolish eyes He looked just like you'd want him to Some kind of slick chrome american prince A blue jean serenade and moon river what you do to me And i don't believe you Saw cinderella in a party dress But she was looking for a nightgown I saw the devil wrapping up his hands He's getting ready for the showdown I saw the minute that i turned away I got my money on a pawn tonight
Got these lyrics from the sheet music... Out where the dreams are high Out where the wind don't blow Out here the good girls die And the sky won't snow Out here the birds don't sing Out here the fields don't grow Out here the bell don't ring Out here the bell don't ring Out here the good girls die... Or did you leave it back in '61? In the cadence of a young man's eyes Out where the dreams are high.
mainstream radio (ie. radio 1) are totally irrelevant now, they just play the awful music that they are made to now - their opinions don't matter anymore - they have no idea about music the stuff they play is awful and meaningless - I refuse to listen to the radio now.
I love how everyone can speak for Brandon and give us insight on his emotions during this. How the hell do you know if he's nervous? Everyone for years has been saying that Brandon is SOOOO NERVOUS, at a certain point I think we must accept that it may just be how he performs.
People do have the tendency to react different from one another and maybe, just maybe he performs like he looks nervous....he has been doing this now for some years, I doubt he hasn't been able to become comfortable
i want that awesome "k" to hang on my wall! i want it bad!

And the decades disappear like sinking ships
