[TheTalekot]

[hyperman101]

2008 looked like such a good year for reading fest. i'm finally old enough to go and they produce this years sorry excuse of a line up :(

[vssquirrel]

the feeling of this big crowd singing along your song must be the best thing in the world + amazing live

[heart4freddie]

what is it about this brandon flowers?!!. ... i know ... we all know... he is just...there are just so many words, unbelievable, amazing, amazing voice, kind, compassionate, absolutely one of the best stage performers (who loves his fans and family) out there on this planet right now.

[Xen1aserman]

[Shiperzz1]

[Brogansbabe]

[marwood03]

@Brogansbabe Lol, you are advertising a girl band on a Killers video - the world has gone mad.

[Brogansbabe]

@marwood03 tee hee I know....it's my niece...but they are mint and mad! try the download its good

[whydoyouwastemytimee]

The girl singing the wrong lyrics at 3:09 should have stayed at home.

[Joshjames17]

@whydoyouwastemytimee Haha, she lives in kettering. Was at the front for a lot of bands, you can probably spot her singing the wrong things in a few more.

[RunNeonTigerTK]

@marwood03 It depends if youre talkin bout the term indie literally or if you just mean the style of their music because they sound indie

[Johnnyo743]

@RunNeonTigerTK fuck this is what i hate Indie simply means that you are not sighned to a majoir label there is no sound of indie fuck i hate hipsters

[nevermindcolombia]

[luvena07]

wow this sonds amazing, wish i was there

[foreverkate]

[t306i]

They don´t do "low - key"...fantastic!

[spuddeer60606]

[LANkY0OMUSE]

nope me to

and the drumoer from RHCP looks like will ferral

[VacantOccupation72]

b e a utiful

[Knightoftheorient]

Strange ppl keep saying that they had sound problems cause they sound gr8 in this video, but than again I wasn't there so I cannot judge!

[D00K1Ex]

wow :)

[andyyyFOB]

i agree, they werent good at reading, probly due to the sound. and cos i saw them at v in 07 and they were EPIC, they had a far better lineup and show planned

still amazing :)

[actorchild]

UH-MAZING

<333

[peachybumx]

I was at Reading and they to me were awful. Now it could have been the sound because it was faulty all weekend, it really put a downer on Biffy Clyro's set earlier that day, who knows?

Anyways I had the chance to see them a couple of months ago at the O2 and they were absolutely astounding.

One of the best gigs I have ever been too.

[daveM134]

biffy sucked that day!

[spuddeer60606]

did you watch taking back sunday on the friday? that sounded awful, all you could hear were drums and loads of bass guitar. you couldnt even make out the songs.

[Jackelation1]

yea, the sound guy was really bad, felt sorry for the band cause that wasn't even their fault, but some people are under the delusion that the band control the sound balance when they're on stage and they're not.

[spuddeer60606]

yeah i was really dissapointed because i really like that band! maybe it was where i was standing in the cowd, but it really put a downer on the whole performance. in a festival of this extent you would expect the engineers to get it right?

[Jackelation1]

Yea you would, but the thing with festivals is that the only bands to sound check is the opening band and the headliner. So the other bands just have to try their best while the sound guy tries to sort it out when they start playing. Bad but that's how it is

[seangregory3]

i was right soooo, im practically psychic

[adz900]

shame u posted this 5 days ago the same day u made that remarkable bet lol

[DaleGibney]

well said

[nikemd]

I WAS THERE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[imsogoddamnginger]

This is the BEST festival to ever exist.

[marwood03]

@imsogoddamnginger Is this the best ever festival to exist because you live in Reading, lol?

[binstig]

@imsogoddamnginger Youve never been to Glastonbury then!

[GoLDenMeDicoNr4]

the killers are the best band of the wordl!!

[silencer192]

there terrible

[GoLDenMeDicoNr4]

you are terrible -.-

[Grove2000]

worst headlining bands ive ever seen. shameful they were up there.

[oufan195]

Hey, Where is the Reading festival?

[INCIDENT1096]

in reading...

[GinaThatOrangeGina]

BAHAHA.

Was that...a serious question?

[silencer192]

haha

[therealDurden]

[Righton2021]

love this song

[dobermancrazed]

1:07 lmao off look at his hair

[beckaegg]

Aww This Was Such A Good Night - Good Times :D

[carlosaclp]

BARCELONA! 9 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!

[xOBenzo92Ox]

I'm not that big of a fan of The Killers.

but this is MAGIC.

[VacantOccupation72]

such a rare voice!! hahh

yes

[OneRepublicLover125]

i love this band, i love this song, think brandons the coolest, but he's kind of an awkward dancer, lol. i love this live, especially when he sings, "Easy now, watch it go!" haha, love that! :)

[foreverkate]

I think the "awkwardness" is kind of deliberate, it's like his style maybee

[OneRepublicLover125]

I never said it was a bad thing! I LOVE the way he dances, lol, especially the way he gets into it! It does make sense that it's not just him being an awkward dancer, even when he does that robot thing. He's awesome... :)

[marwood03]

He's a Human, not a Dancer ;)

[deadmandanny88]

hmmm although the line is , are we human or are we dencer.

[marwood03]

@deadmandanny88 It's Dancer you clown, TK confirmed it on their official site.

[VacantOccupation72]

serioulsy this is sooo great!! i keep watching it!! ahhhhhhh

[saileddragonfly]

rage were on friday killers saturday and then metallica. are you sure you even went reading festival 2008??

[VacantOccupation72]

his voice is so crazy good in this!! and there are so many poeple, and they're singing too, it sounds cool

[snare123]

rage where on the night before mate

[TheCartman12]

i love it :)

[BigBaggaBlues]

ARE U FAT?????? rage werent even playin on the same day as that, i was so fucked then it was unbelievable, id had like 8 pills of different kinds, a henry, like 15 cans and u shudda seen the rush i got when they sprayed all that shite on our faces

fkin immense

[guitar18567]

great singer live

[killmepretty]

I was there. It really was amazing.

[snare123]

apart from the sound near the back of the golden circle which was appauling

[sophielofe]

lol im goin to them 2nd March I CANT WAIT !!!!!!

[Uffie1977]

the killers are so great , saw them on highfield 2008

i will see them next march in düsseldorf !!!

[Toddy245]

Great singin but guitar is 2 quiet luv u killers goin on 23rd feb!!!

[simoman1234567]

I think its because its just Dave playing and for some reason he's quite soft.

It sounds better when they have another guy up there playing rhythm guitar. It makes the song rock more.

[WaveneyWolf]

Great vocals by brandon, but am i the only one who thought dave was a bit shoddy in that performance?

[Aawsomed7sevenfoldX]

i was at reading

but i got so wasted i forgot to go see these:L

[Sapient00Czarina]

that's why I don't drink, why the hell would I want to miss out on something like this? also the fact that you wouldn't remember the experience had you been there is just not worth it for me lol

red bull kicks ass

[ClObO121]

Wow, his voice is so similar to what it sounds like on the CD.

[fercardan]

best song, band and concert ever

[paulmarwud]

Does anyone know if this is on the BBC I player on Virgin Media?

[kennyroelandts]

I've seen them a day or something before this.

It's my favourite song all time by the way :)

[plugindave]

they were too quiet

[LeBolzOfSteel]

Perfect!ANOTHER one of their best performances!!

[rbeer37]

im a big killers fan.

but the guitar wasnt nearly loud enough aswell as the synth, the drums and the bass overpowered them. and brandon did comunicate with the audience throughout the whole set.

the onli good thing was his singing

[annamaria285]

Awesome!!!

[bonhamlivesagain]

the guitarist is drunk??

...however Ronnie best drummer of last ten years!

ringo and bonham style!!!

[ilbertG]

The killers are one of the few from the US that can compete with the stuff overseas

[purp]

that is assuming that everybody agrees that the stuff overseas is better...

which it is not.

[ilbertG]

Brit rock owns American rock, and I live in the states

[T3ddyPicker]

Brandons' voice is like one of a god.

PERFECT!

[perryt]

i get goosebumps just by listening. without the footage.

[tudotough]

This is probably the best performance of When You Were Young I've seen! The energy is insane

[Azwethinkweiz667]

Our children will talk about the killers...as we talk about queen...

[tudotough]

Yes! I love it :)

[marwood03]

When you were young & Mr Brightside, by far their best songs.

[saileddragonfly]

its not the killers fault its the council

[perryt]

lol my bad

[marwood03]

Thats a much better tone!

[thecultofjonnybighed]

i was there. i din't understand why so many people were leaving at the time. killers were ok, but we can't really have heavy rock all the time otherwise i would have been like 'oh fuck off' e.g. 2 much of the same stuff

[thecultofjonnybighed]

actually, i need 2 ammend my previous comment they were very good but it was more bloc party who stole the show

[Mobbsyomfglolz]

Thankfully was near the front where it didn't sound crap!

[rbeer37]

i was at the bac by the tower and i dunno y but they sounded shit

[Maxgoodrum]

I was aswell half of the sound system was turned off for some crappy reason like the wind was blowing the wrong way so the decibell was too loud!!

Complete bolloks coz it ruined bloc party and killers for me still had a great time singing louder than i could hear the music!

[introduceyouricon]

what a voice

[frenzi15]

brandon doesn't look a thing like jesus but he's all i'll ever know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!sand­ra.

[kerry10ann]

this weekend was just an amazing reading altogether lets see what they pull out next year for the fest going to take alot to beat i reckon

[echelonFiore]

i can say only one word... amazing!

[cheaterboy]

yay he got rid of that thing that was on his face!! i hated that beard thing

[19Chucky94]

The Killers are the best !

very good performance .

[keithjoforever]

Awesome performance!

[SAldworth]

they were amazing at reading sound was a bit bad

but still wicked show not as good as RATM

[rifflord888]

and RATM were not as good as Metallica...

[snappypappy1871]

killers great no matter what n e one says but first few were too quiet best song ever!

[difaren1]

killers!

The best band in the world!

[sr3d128]

Looks decent here, I was stuck right at the back as I'd just watched BFMV, but they seemed really dull at the back, I'm not a big fan but if I ever get more into them I'll go see them, wouldn't mind them at a festival again though.

[chitownchick456]

when are they touring back in the states?

and i am sooo glad that he shaved!!!

[annamaria285]

Me too!

He looks gorgeous without the tash! :)

Wonderful live!

[Progy37]

He does smoke. I dont know if again or still, but I read an interview, where the writer wrote that Brandon lit a cigarette.

And he drinks too...

[unclejonnnny]

then I guess he got back into it. that's too bad actually.

[holliday666]

he's mormon so i dont think he does

[chaoticspear]

Yeah he's a devout mormon apparently, so he definatley doesn't smoke or drink from what I've heard.

[unclejonnnny]

He's a Mormon, but he has still been known to drink and smoke socially. Calling him devout would be taking it too far. ;)

[chaoticspear]

Ah I see, that sucks a bit I guess - I've always admired people who don't do those things. I also think smoking is a bit of a disgusting habit - but oh well. Thanks for reply :)

[KillersKickAss]

that is the best ive seen when you were young, ahh man i love them!!! wooooooooooooooooo GO KILLERS

[JeoninCorea]

does he smoke ?

[unclejonnnny]

not anymore.

[1gerassassin]

why did you ask that

[Pure7pazaak]

I saw them at Leeds instead and I have to say, they were infinitely better than this. Shame that only Reading was televised.

[ShardsOfAlex]

come on now, there's a reason that the beeb focuses on reading. All the bands say they prefer Reading, and that reading crowds are better.

ALthough I do think its wrong that they dont show Leeds at all, as it probably does really deserve to be broadcast.

[Pure7pazaak]

I never questioned the reasoning behind it, just said that its a shame cause the Killers weren't half as good as at Leeds on this night.

[sfcmitch01]

All the sets look worse when seen on TV

[difaren1]

come to SWEDEN!!

[Aaaaaaaa91]

or Norway again:)

[angularstudios]

lmao... Keuning at 2:40. So pumped and into into, classic.

[chelseaosmond]

omg when the sparks came down it was immense! the atmosphere was amaaazing! still get shivers watching it XD

[rbeer37]

it looks god on ere but they were awful on the actually nigh

[adaxel]

you realise that doesn't really make any sense right?

[rbeer37]

yes it does just my keyboard is shit

wat i was saying is i looks good on the video but at the actual festival they were awful

[adaxel]

don't blame your keyboard, what you said still didn't make sense. f your referng to the techncal problems they had that is not them being awful it is the fact the speaker weren't working. I assure you that from the front they were not awful they were very very good

[deffadda]

yeh i coodnt hear them v wel but i stil luvd it

[acridus]

they were fuckin good

and i hate indie

Nice spot! I did not noticed the glockenspiel in the background. But Ted is not with the band any more. It's a new guy called Ray Suen who sings and plays alot of different instruments e.g violin which he plays in the sams town abbey road version at near the end.
