The Killers - Sam's Town (Live)

[joojo122]

<3 the song

[nachoabrooks]

This song means so much to me. brandon flowers voice is heard very well in this one the background music is also amazing as to be expected with The KIllers

"Nobody ever had a dream round here,

but I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me

Nobody ever pulls the seams round here,

but I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me"

[kazhiryu187]

The first and second verse are the best lyrics ever written.

[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 !

[cqsallie]

I love The Killers - and I love Sam's Town. Maybe it's all the change-ups in tempo, maybe it's the clever lyrics, maybe it's because I love Vegas. Who knows?

Why does this song haunt my memory and why does it often find its way into my brain? Just another ear-worm?

Hmmmmm.....

[lucky40kid]

ABSOLUTE GENIOUS

[sassycat12345678]

i liked the video so there wouldnt be 666 likes o_0 likes now there is 667. your welcome

[MrDiego881]

i like The Killers but the intro remind me tonight tonight by Smashing Pumpkins

[mooningthesun69]

Awesome!!!!!!!

[sabitanclip]

is it just me or did flowers' voice become sort of whiny after sawdust :P

[mijala2]

I still can't decide which version is better, this or acoustic. It's really hard to decide.

[misshardrock1]

This is my song, it means so much to me, love the energy, the lyrics, the beat(drums and guitars) and Brandons voice of course and I see London, I see my town, soon again. Just love it! :D <333

[ComplimentaryCancer]

Love that Ibanez Explorer. <3

[Julius3365]

I'm pretty sure he uses an old microkorg... but what is this other synth called?

[ameflowers]

This town will ever exist!!! It'll never break down. They're going to Sam's town. They need a break. Specialy Brandon..... he's on a dificult time now.

[MarcusKiner]

Love that synthesizer.

[AnonEmouseMan]

I realize that it seems like if the Killers break up that would suck but a lot of times bands go on hiatus and come back together. This could be a real good opportunity for all of the band members to explore their own ideas. When they come back together they will no doubt be twice as energized and creative if that is meant to be. One way or another there will be concerts. Surely.

[AnonEmouseMan]

My sense of the situation is that the band will split up. I don't see that as a bad thing. You will get maybe 4 bands that make different music and one or two of them might be really great. I could see Brandon Spending more time in Vegas like Celine Deon or Donny and Marie Osmond. Who knows what direction the Brandon Flowers Band would go? I think more instrumental and vocals based, like Billy Joel but Brandon is ever surprising in his creative directions so we'll see. Creativity is good :)

[themack22]

LOL - dude..."no plans for an indefinite hiatus"

They aren't breaking up. And if they did, every side project would suck.

[AnonEmouseMan]

I was just responding to internet buzz. Word on the street is that an indefinite hiatus is in the works. This is just a rumor. But it is a rumor. Part of me agrees with you that it would suck if the group breaks up for a while. & I am an optimist. & furthermore creative musicians who are allowed to explore some more individualistic music paths, could be a good thing. Because when their paths cross again, & they come back  together to make some new music it MIGHT be creatively enhancing. Might

[kewlco333]

@themack22 Yeah they are not going to break up hah

[pbtrre]

i like the killersa but i seen them live and he was such a shit singer

[TwistedxxTransistor]

Have the killers split up?

[FLASHLIGHTMAN4LIFE]

lets hope not!

:D

[silasha]

@TwistedxxTransistor WTF?

[TwistedxxTransistor]

@silasha They said they were taking a break and couldn't stand the sight of eachother, so have they re-formed?

[silasha]

@TwistedxxTransistor I checked Google, that news was months ago, and it was not true.

Besides I haven't seen any reports about 'splitting up' on Wiki. (For what it's worth, Wiki is still reliable to an extent) :D

[marwood03]

No, they have just taken a break - they deserve it after touring the world for 6 consecutive years.

[cqsallie]

I just love the lyrics, "I see London; I see Sam's Town" and the great stuff that follows this refrain. For anyone who has a real appreciation of Sam's Town (a/k/a Las Vegas), this is a great - even nostalgic - song.

There's no attributing for taste,eh?

[Rociosjb]

where is the voice?

LOL.

(i loved them, but day a day, i realize how bad are they doing.)

[GabbyAlicex]

@Rociosjb

What do you mean? Haha. It's sounds pretty much exactly as it does on the record. I think they did a great job.

[galloclaudio11]

Love this version! :)

[Vaneza14]

[mettulfonzy]

you can't type

[chrissb7]

ok so im not to sure if your being sarcastic or talking about something entirely different to what im thinking.Anyway im taking it as your calling the killers morons right well your a moron if you think that essentially these guys have buckets of talent and have written some damn catchy and memorable tunes and seriously that takes some great song writting to appeal to the masses and masses of fans and people in general that like their songs.But if im wrong in the way i took what you said sorry.

[xtreme3xo]

thing is though your at your computer so often ya just jelous you can't even pull a 13 yr old girl Hahaha get a life knob head obviously the killers are fantastic thats why live there always sold out. You must have not listened to enough killers song's because it's not vocal it's the tune and the lyrics which attract people DICK HEAD!!!!!

=-D

[cleverly512]

You are a pathetic jack-off who has no taste in music... enjoy your drugs you disgrace!

[Austin8641]

dumbasss

[madhotthunder]

I'm going to their concert tomorrow night...I am SO excited.

[NeonWonderland83]

well they're probably going to do Sam's Town in the encore again!! :) Lucky you!

[stmball06]

why dont you listen to all your stuff before you say that

[catlover876]

what happened at 2:01?i think he skipped the lyrics..

[Vaminos413]

the video freezes too, so it was probably a technical problem, like somebody bumping the camera

[catlover876]

oh...i didn't think of that...

[stmball06]

im going to see them at merrywheather post pavilion in a few days! so pumped go ronnie!

[catlover876]

the best band in the world.......

[iamgodofrain]

this is so much better than the acoustic version

[phillipdjjohn]

stop playing this acoustic! bring it back!

[moneyquickeasy]

@phillipdjjohn They're not playing it acoustic ... wtf you talking about? They should be though.

[phillipdjjohn]

@moneyquickeasy you need not be so rude before you decide to be as the 28 people who liked it know what i mean being "real" killers fans, they played this acoustically on theyre recent tour and i was saying they should bring this version back

[moneyquickeasy]

@phillipdjjohn Well the way you worded it makes no sense. but I agree, they should play it acoustic. btw, you only have 28 likes ;)

[phillipdjjohn]

@moneyquickeasy well it made sense to 28 people so if its a test of, "does it make sense" you're outnumbered by 27 so......

[moneyquickeasy]

@moneyquickeasy shut the hell up.

[nohaccm1]

wow! Dave really goes nuts in this one lmao

[InAPearTree21]

4th July today! Happy independence day to America :)

[10tusentyska]

WOW! DUBBLE WOW!

[tallpaddy]

Sam's Town is one of their best songs- it has a bit more edge and more depth than some of their other bigger hits....

I see London- I see Sam's Town..

See you Killers on Friday night in London Town--it's going to be awesome...

[Lennielectric]

god I wish they'd release a live album.

[speedybill47]

@Lennielectric agreed

[TheRed201025]

@Lennielectric The royal albert hall dvd has a live CD

[jellydude7]

uhh... well there better then katy perry live

[koenais]

Lol. No shit?

[goldengoat55555]

they should always preform this version of the song rather than the slow version which brandon calls 'acoustic' with the slow piano work and stuff

[priMMoz]

yep

[Kennethstef]

i totally agree with ya ... im not a big fan of the acoustic version... this one is so awesome

[randomtuber700]

jeez the killers probly gave someone a seizure at their concert

look at all those lights

[localola86]

Well, the ones for this tour were even more seizure-inducing. I saw them 2 Fridays ago, and I still have the effect of those lights (being front row did not help either) Specially during "Human" good God! (O____o)

[PepperDr94]

I can amagine lol! Too bad their going on a break, I heard a long one :(

[localola86]

Yeah, but they deserve it. they have toured and released CDs non-stop since 2003. Don't worry thou, they'll come back to us when they're ready ;)

[falloutboy4509]

lmao

[Finschi1]

[thestroker29]

Sam's Town -- The best Killers' Album

:) My favorite song is

When You Were Young but Sam's town is great too

[rosalinda1990]

I love this song and I love the killers too

[zigsan]

The killers for life

[andre25amizaday]

I love Brandon.

[buretzell]

f*ckin' awesome!

[novalol]

my favo killers song together with read my mind. Too bad they hardly ever perform it live, wished i was there

[guitarmonsterthing]

best album they have the best songs on it are sams town enterlude when you were young uncle jonny bones and exitlude favorite album XD

[satysfacti0n]

i LOVE it when he screams, "WHY DO YOU WASTE MY TIME??"

[reptiliuca]

!!!!!

[sojiro19]

Hi guys.

I covered Sam's Town.

Pls check it out once!

[oreo81107]

This song is so catchy. I wish they would have preformed it more often.

[amihuman21]

i took a bullet and i looked inside and running through my veins was an american mascarade

go killers, go killers

[MAlephys]

la versione live è molto più gustosa di quella studio!!!!

[Topooo182]

The best song of this album.

[maestrozen77]

...I see London,I See Sam's Town...

[jazzeliciouss]

were is sam's town ? i want to live there :D

[levipeniche]

it's actually a hotel & gambling something in vegas

[wildish001]

Fantastic song. I would have gone to see them touring in March 09 at the NEC or Nottingham arena but they sold out all their venues in the UK in about 48 hours :( I bet it would have been awsome

[Alex4uall]

There's still a chance.. ^^

[jhonen32629]

I love this song, his vocal pattern during the verse is so awesoume and catchy, the chorus is amazing as well,

good song, good album

[JB620]

Abbey road is awesome, but live this version is definately on top.- also a great song (:

[Sammyen94]

this song is AWESOME cuz my name is Sam, but it rocks anyway:)

[guitarmastaasd]

I prefer this version more than the abbey road version but there both very good

[emefkaKE]

Abbey road is like totaly new song...but if I have to compare them, I like this one much better... This was also inspiration for some songs on Sawdust

[Kebabmaschine]

imho is the abbey road version much better...

[DeathShok]

the abby road version was a bit quiet for my tastes

[mike2223312]

how can you be a 22f white teenage girl? twentytwoteen? o.O i alwase thought it went like eightteen ninteen then after that your not teenage no more? idiot much?

[misterslaughter]

Obviously irony is lost on you. Girl.

[smidge1000]

This is a good song, but the abbey road version is a million times better

[dylan56brook]

this is much better than abbey road

[mccleery0203]

ya i like abbey road version better too

[StanSitwell]

Abbey road version is soooo boring and they play that one live. It is such a waste of a great song to not play the normal version live.

[wodemingzijiaonisha]

The sound and video don't go together :(

[blink955]

Very Queen-esqe which I believe is what they were going for. Especially the guitar in some parts (right out of "Death on Two Legs"). Not to mention Flowers's Freddy Mercury mustache

[spikelover99]

wow uh erm thats brings the love down for him a lower level??? he sounds much better in music vids

[d4sh94]

this song is brilliant in the way that it seems they wrote it with this structure but is trying to break away from it.

the last verse has a very strict tempo "i see london, I see sam's town" etc. and in the beginning of the song it has a very similar tempo. in the middle it seems like they are trying to break free from that beat.

its soo awesome how deep this song actually is.

[esjakeis86]

it's true. cause when they first came out, everyone thought they were british. and they were from london. but they're from sam's town. thats what that means at the end.." i see london...i see sam's town.."

[linus92johansson]

his voice feels very different live. he feels a bit insecure and thats what makes him so special. on the cds it sounds very good but here when they dont change it anything u realise he aint that very good singer. it's sad cus i'd really like to go see them live. i know it's not the best sound quality either but still think it's gives u the real idea of this singer's capacity.

[mrroll]

it's too good

[ScottyIs18]

the second "so why do you waste my time"

always gives me goosebumps no matter what version!

[bozzyworst]

I totally agree, but I think it's just his voice that can give anyone goosebumps if he wants to ^^ He just does that occasionally I guess

[PlayboyMansion11]

Esa intro rompe todo

good melodies

[cqsallie]

This is my all-time favorite Killers' song. I love the way the continuously switch gears, from hard to soft, from fast to slow. And there's an old love for a place in Vegas called "Sam's Town" from back in the '80s. Is it still there? While the strip was getting ever grander, there it was, just off the strip....

Maybe it's more about reminiscence, but I think my love of this is more about The Killers....

Sallie

[sherwod91]

this song must be exhausting to sing ^^

[gwns17]

ojala vinieran a Venezuela :(

[floho89]

bastard!

[xchemicalxgirlx]

the escenography reminds me of the day i saw them in argentina(L)

[caanduu]

jejej no entiendo nadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

kskjsjk!

[glennohagan]

this is my alltim efavourite killers song they ROCK!!!!

[darksoul140788]

no....esto fue espectacular....muy buena presentacion....los amo!!!!:)

[welshmoron]

An awesome song, Brandon is fantastic, the whole band is great.

[pfxnbk]

Just cause he has a moustache? lol My name is earl guy is jason lee thats not jason lee rofl

[paulgoldiez]

ask god im sure he gave him it along with his talent..lol!!

[MUSICMEANSLIFE56]

w00t. brandon flowers is awesome.

[link1184]

to me they always seemed like a band that would use samples and computers to fix thier voices and mistakes but they can actually even if they couldnt i would still love them because thier music was always less about compiling chord progression to sound good and more about the art of musical compilation...

[FadeThursday]

That's what i thought When i saw a pic of him

[Dewgma]

they are in theyr own league....

BEST BAND EVER!

every song on every album should be a single xD

[driver8train]

The Killers are the best of the american rock bands to come out in the 2000's bar none!!

What band of this decade come's close to the number of great songs they have put out?

[yanabockisch]

no but he sure does look like him, he is a copier of the kick ass look

[hermitnw]

Love it! Thanks, where did you get this footage? Is there a dvd I'm missing?? LOVE this whole album, but the rockers are the BEST part of it.

[marwood03]

heard it before lol

[govik3]

LOVE this song, and they so good live !

[GinaTheKillers]

I love the Killers!!!!

They are awsome live

BEST BAND EVER!!!!

[FOOLYCOOLY]

One of the most awesome, impressive songs that they have, especially when opening a song.

[fern244]

The Killers are my favourite band so im not critisizing Brandon but his voice is mentally of key in this song. Still love 'em though

[fern244]

theres a slower version? its that fast on Sams Town

[tono926]

maybe he means the ''abbey road'' version of sam's town

[NOYZ14]

the killers...awesome band

awesome albums...all of them

awesome song covers....

awesome style....

fucking awesome!

(and brandon...u have made ur voice even better over time...keep it up)

and i agree with diggsy....they will definitely go down into history

[sneezinboy]

gr8 song!!! but wtf happens at 2:00?

[agacinco]

this is a such a great song, with a great energy, kudos!

[nrlsky]

Brandon is such a phenomenal vocalist.

[mafaldaaa1993]

oh my god!

I'm from Portugal and I just can't wait for the killers live!

*sorry for the bad english

*JUST LOVE IT

[Philbo69]
