[stankler]

u2 dropped the ball ages ago .killers picked it up

[jennyhqiu]

very nice!

[ichtygirldotcom]

brandon's voice is perfect always

[nicco03]

omg!! a starcaster!!

btw nice performance

[Erqe2403]

Best performance... aww i love it<3

[taviango]

No lie. I would murder someone for Dave's guitar tone.

[uberschaller]

plenty of tracks going on there.

[MarcusKiner]

Rocked the fuck outta those drums

[rmondonedo]

anyone know if there's an upload of them playing "great big sled" on Letterman?

[AshwinR]

DID THAT EVER HAPPEN?!?!?! holy shit

[GKongTaurant]

0:40 lol ronnie does dis on so many songs

rly looks like hes gettin into it =D

[susandan110]

live music is best...it has more feeling...love killers live whether it be is 1st track or 10th, amazing..

[YewLogs026]

Jesus Christ guys, you don't have to down me I was just telling my opinion. It wasn't an insult toward him or anything.. shit,.

[ThePertinent1]

wowser...

[YewLogs026]

something about the lead singer reminds me of a typical douche bag guy from LA or something. lol

[joefoley92]

Great comment there from YewLogs026

thumbs up

watch me get thumbs downs from all the little indie freaks

[phoebe9261]

@YewLogs026 hahaha i LOVE brandon, but you're right... looked really douchey during the sam's town days

[PatAPass]

The suit he's wearing probably cost more than my entire wardrobe combined.

[WowUrTheMan]

thats cause he's the man!

[blueyednewsiegirl]

David Letterman's suit probably cost more than my entire wardrobe.

[mike2223312]

David Letterman's suit probably cost more than africa's entire food supply.

[hitmanfcp1]

And Brandon's suit was the same.

[Doofer22]

Wow. Sounds incredible especially for a television show stage. Seriously.

[hardassteel]

Its probably lip sync, but of course I have no proof that it is or it is not lip synching, it is just a logical observation i have made when i compared his live performances with this performance and they do not sound too similar.

[Nitros65]

It's not synced.

You have to remember this is probably when the album came out so he was still trying to find his place with it live.

[NeonWonderland83]

He's obviously not lip synching. It's very easy to tell when someone is...and this isn't it. You can tell especially at the bridge. But I kind of love that you said that because it proves how amazing he sings live. Brandon really doesn't get enough credit for that.

[WowUrTheMan]

No... the thing is, he sounds much better on the records because he rests up his voice for a good week or so and sings each line individually, there's so much strain on his voice at shows, which is why it doesn't sound so good. he probably rested up and made sure he was prepared for the show, plus he was only singing a few songs so he wouldnt get fatigued.

[dobermancrazed]

I think he sounds better live even though he sounds absoloutley amazing on the records.

[bbspacemanbb]

I completely agree, his passion comes through in his voice even more than it does on the records when it is in the studio.

[duck90]

I don't think so man, I saw them live a few months ago and he was nearly flawless. He's a great live singer.

[jlrottyn]

they are amazing live. Epic win

[bbspacemanbb]

Ha! Miming? Are you joking? Its just because they are so incredible live, theres no other possible reason, BF wouldnt mime, hes just too good.

[majjkiie]

my name is earl.. :D

[kukubird210]

something doesn't seem right about this certain performance. I dunnoi luv the killers and this song, but this performance doesn't seem right for some reason. It sounds like theres no bass. anyone else feel like that???

[VacantOccupation72]

nice suit indeed. god i love the killers!!

[kaysingerL]

guitar hero

lol

makes me wan play now

[onlysomuchoil]

The Killer is very good!!! I am awaiting his next album! xoxoxoxoxo!

[caligirl2191]

this song has such great energy

[doesthisnamefit]

a bit queen's wannabes (on looks) but very good though

[AnnaCarra23]

lol i bet Queen were wannabes of someone else too on looks once upon a time. maybe??

[doesthisnamefit]

all i'm saying is that they look a lot like.. and there's no one like queen

[charlottaaal]

where can you see the interview??

[wodemingzijiaonisha]

He is a true performer!

Love the suit, looking very dapper brandon!

[LadyStardust241]

I love Dave's hair -- it's like he's channeling Brian May!

I adore the Killers; I saw them live on the Sam's Town tour 2 years ago, and it was AMAZING!

[dmarinon]

I think he did cocaine before the show....hahahah just kidding!

[oeyvindh]

looks like an Italian hehe NICE!

[juiceman1965]

admit it....The Killers rock

[SaintsFanX]

not many men look good in mustaches. but brandon and robby look awesome in theirs.

[alecsa2986]

I Love them!!!!

[OneManAndHisToaster]

@ Y2007wii: 'Brandon's dancing like he had 10 cups of coffee (which he probably did). I wish I could see them live.'

[thejobe]

Horrible picture quality, but excellent sound quality, and that is what counts! :)

[hutomagnes99]

fuck off

[19eighty4]

Anyone else think Brandon looks like a slim Jack Black in this video? Lol.

[pssst098]

or probalble too much red bull

[Y2007wii]

I love the Killers. I love how Ronnie is beating the hell out of his drums. He really gets into it. Mark and Dave are just chill playing the bass and guitar. And Brandon's dancing like he had 10 cups of coffee (which he probably did). I wish I could see them live.

[ShawnMichaelsLover4]

Brandon gave Such a good preformence in this vid

[hihiminxy]

ohh.. such a good song!

[nrlsky]

Brandon's voice is perfect in this video. I wish I could have seen it live.

[LOTRFrEaK911]

i listened to one a them there songs on my radio and then i hads a buket but one o them there popos from the donut shop, u know the donut shop at the end of the trailer park, well he beez tooked it gone =( sad story im tellin ya.....

[IxQuit]

it's Jason Lee from "My name is Earl"

: }

[whoaitsconner]

lol, me and my dad were saying that the other day when we watched them on SNL.

[Fenderkicksass]

whos the tard at the begining

[GArule10]

That is david letterman he is not a tard

[Fenderkicksass]

no R tard the drummer guy at the begining

[nrlsky]

I think it's David Letterman's music guy. You know the bald guy who usually plays piano.

[Fenderkicksass]

o okay ty

[nrlsky]

Perfect performance!

[sabitanclip]

...ew

[emrocksss]

awesome !

[cassnate6259]

They're so good live.

[praetorian12x]

Wow they're amazing live

[simpsonsjunkie89]

what an amazing performance! everything is simply perfect.

[caminofeld]

Quite impressive vocals. I've seen him blow it before, but this time he was spot on.

[cups368]

you try singing 15 or 20 songs and let me know how your voice sounds????????

[caminofeld]

Hahaha. Did I specify when I saw him blow it or how many songs they played before I witnessed a poor vocal performance? No. I was being an honest critic and actually giving him a compliment. Think before you type...and yes, I have sung 3 hour sets before and held it together throughout thank you very much.

[cups368]

Hahaha Don't start with me i don't think you are a honest critic. you think before you type, you don't want to mess with me!!!! You have never sung a 3 hour set, you are nothing but a hater Have a good day

[caminofeld]

Belief?

[SUiCidNeMonKey]

cups ur right its hard playing shows 4 so lon camino is a jackass

remembering so many song is hard word from word

[allth3s4me]

hmmm. even my cat sings better. the best badn alive!

[cups368]

there is no way your cat is as cute at the lead singer!!!!!!!

[gotitans999]

probably one of the best sounding live performances..brandons voice is perfect cd quality

[simpsonsjunkie89]

and Dave is spot on. guitar perfection. Mark and Ronnie do a great job as well

=)

[fillywinkle]

FUCKING MINT!!!

[hakktmc]

Their live performance was not good in the past...

but this one is awesome, they improved a lot!

I LOVE THE KILLERS!

[madcrazygenius]

holy crap, have any of the people who say the killers are bad live ever seen another band play live (not lip-syncing)? christ, they're actually awesome live, unlike fall out boy and TONS of other bands that suck so much worse live. so what if it doesn't sound EXACTLY like it did on the record? it's not supposed to - they spent months and months producing that, they've only got four minutes here to sing it live.

[krtina455]

Fall out bou sucks; why are they always mentioned in the same breath as the Killers?

[simpsonsjunkie89]

they're on the same label, Island

[Salwiza]

Thank u very much.. ppl have lost they're common sense.. fall out boy shud learn from the killers.. and come up with a better band name, one that actually means smthn.. I feel like discrasing the killers mentioning them with that highschooler kiddo band..

[fern244]

I adore the Killers, but we all have to say they are the worst band to play live in the history of music.

[ckad79]

Watching this video, I'd have to assume that the band is amazing live! Everything just seems very well put together. I don't know, maybe somebody just saw them on an off day!?! haha

I do wish I had seen them before they become popular. They look like they'd be better in a small club than a large rock arena. I'm not big on big concerts.

[Kurtnotcobain]

Sam's Town - 2 thumbs up!

[Lurvenn]

Not a very good live band?

They were brilliant at the Hove festival this summer!!!

[cheryljmuir]

nhamerla... not a very good live band???? Search for "The Killers Glastonbury 2007" and see what you think!

BTW - great suit, Brandon!

[Skapete]

This song owns so much!!! Just look how much better they've got since their last letterman performance in '04

[ziegfeldgrl]

Their second album is SOOOOO much better than the first. They've refined so much as a band

[vidaloka7]

great!!!

[SaintJETs]

I think he looked too young without the mustaches. His look is cool but the dance kinda suck =o=.

[ciudadfutura]

buena cancion! yeah!!! juan carlos - lima-peru

[littleewok009]

the synth starting on "can we climb this mountain" Is actualy played on the guitar...u can see that ...plus i can do the same thign with mine u just need a korg pedal station and synth drone.

[dahomosapien]

man it sucks how they got strings playin on the PA throughout the song but he only plays the keyboard at one point...It would be cool if he sung and played keyboard the whole way through, instead of just for the bridge. Good song though

[nhamerla]

Not a very good live band, seen them twice. But yeah, the new album kicks ass.

[ChimpChimp55]

good. good stuff lettermen, but my vids are better. check it out, maybe make me in charge of your tv show ah?

[BamRyan]

Brandon suddenly started acting like a big geek on stage after Sam's Town. Anyway, great song.

[Meganstarr]

I thought he was always a geek!? As long as he puts out good music, it doesn't matter how he looks!

[BamRyan]

I have never said anything about his looks, in fact i kinda like his mustache. But his "dancing-thing" is really geeky.

[Meganstarr]

Oh yeah, he's no Fred Astaire but his dance-thing is his ; ) Catch him on Jimmy Kimmel where they perform "Read My Mind."

[drfoongoggles]

Is it just me, or does it look like Brandon tried to look like Freddie Mercury in this video? I mean, come on...Why the mustaches? And, on top of that, the guitarist looks like a bad Yngwie Malmsteen.

However, awesome awesome song. That's all I have to say...I still like Hot Fuss better, though.

[Meganstarr]

At first I thought the mustache was to go with the theme in the original video for "When you were young", but he is sporting it like a classic pornstar ; )

[samattack]

love the song. love the album. thanks for uploading it. btw, I hate to nitpick but the name of the show is the "Late Show". "Late Night" finished back in '93

[Meganstarr]

I'm so use to calling it the Late Show back in the day and I'm glad someone has the courage to say it.

There's nothing wrong with corrected-criticism, so thank you for your comments samaattack.

[nhata]

freaking awesome..!!

[Flatcoatedretriever]

This is really good...!

[Goatplane]

Fantastic!! I had goosebumps during the whole damn song!

[Meganstarr]

I get goosebumps knowing that I was able to see them live in a tiny place in NYC before they were famous.

[markpregen]

This song is called "When You Were Young" from the album "Sam's Town"

[Meganstarr]

Thankyou markpregen for the introduction ; )
