The Killers- Spaceman Live Chicago 2009- Front Row

[doublsh0t]

i LOVE this intro thing they do for spaceman when they start their show with it, it's so friggin epic and awesome and meshes into the song SO perfectly. they did it @ the show here in TX too and I've been looking for a good similar vid.

[IndieRockAndRoll91]

nice bass

[localola86]

@ Vivacoldplay: I DID IT!!!!! I saw The Killers last nite in Tampa. FRONT ROW and CENTER too!!!! 1st time seeing them, and they completely mesmerized me. ok, since I'm a girl, I must admit that I screamed like a little girl everytime Brandon stepped on the amplifiers and look down at us ^_____^

[REPISAGOD]

The video stops when security dude gets closer hahaha LMAO!! good Vid man!

[vivacoldplay]

yeah they were really crazy about cameras at UIC

[1Truckstop]

@vivacoldplay what time did you have to get there to get fron row?

[vivacoldplay]

[tkfan247yaknowit]

ur so lucky to be front row! i have no idea where im sittin when i go in april, cuz my friend wont look at the tickets! i hope i at least am in the first 15!

[GuinnessGoob]

Killers are a great band and I was surprised to see how amazing they are live. This show woulda been up there in my top 5 best shows had the crowd not been so lame at UIC. No one around me knew any songs nor seemed to really care to be there. I saw some people sitting through the whole show.... weak

[Starlight8]

Sounds like u had a really lame crowd!

U should see the crowd go mental over here in the uk! lol I've got crushed to death many times at a killers gig! it's mental! :) Great vid, wish I could get that close!!

[winserville]

I agree Starlight8!!! Was at Cardiff gig and everyone danced, jumped, hopped and sweated til the end. Such a good atmosphere it was my best gig ever!!

[thekillersfan11]

front row. man, i only have dreams about this!

[keanel0ve]

my first tk show was front row

[localola86]

don't give up hope! 8 months ago, I looked at this video and wished that TK would come to my town, and that I could be in the first row. Last night, my dream came true, I saw Brandon, Ronnie, Mark and Dave from the front row and center. My 1st time seeing them, and in front row!

[keanel0ve]

lol actually.. since i wrote that comment I have seen them 4 times on the Day & Age Tour, front row center of course :)

[localola86]

Oh, cool! that's great!

Althou, I was actually replying to thekillersfan11 :^D

[novalol]

LOVELY song

[Prym3rVide0z]

awesome video!!! What camera did you use? camera phone? or any other point and shoot camera?

[vivacoldplay]

I used a point and shoot Canon Powershot 1100IS

[Prym3rVide0z]

nice! I use a canon point and shoot too, it's an old 5 Megapixel one. I guess I need to upgrade coz most of my sound quality i bad.

This was one of my fun concerts. Awesome!

[keanel0ve]

okay that will be me in front row in May.

[rickshawricky]

DAMN GREAT VIDEOS!!!! The Killers were awesome! Was security at end coming for your camera?

[vivacoldplay]

yeah he was. after this video I had the camera low so they wouldn't see it thats why they are shaky and not focused on anyone most of the time

[YoshiPooper]

Security didn't see my camera. XD Too bad the quality was garbage. Best concert ever.

[Bsommer100]

going tomorrow night, very excited!

[starrygraphite]

they MUST come back to Chicago VERY VERY SOON.

[YoshiPooper]

Agreed.

[chitownchick456]

i wish i could have gone but i had finals the next day :(

[miamh720]

yeah i had THREE finals the next day but i still went haha

[rickshawricky]

Glad you posted. You have some awesome shots!

[ilyjonasbrothers614]

i was there!!!! ahh tht was an amazing concert. i will never forget it!!!! <3333 the killers 4eva!!!

[dluve]

awesome...gonna see them in Munich in February

[dermy9225]

That concert was awesome! I was about 5 rows back! Amazing.

[xxNataliexx18]

STUNNING! I was there at the UIC best Killers concert. the encore was great but i disappointed when no one tried for a second one.

[superjenny]

I was so theree.

Thank youuu for this!

-YnneJ

[denibaby924]

this concert was amazing! i got really lucky and was able to work that day and got paid for it. it was sooooo good. i got to see them practice during sound check too. =)

[vivacoldplay]

Didn't you see people freezing to death outside!

[albertina]

I WAS THERE!but still worth the waiting~~

[denibaby924]

i was assigned to the main floor so i didn't see anything but i can imagine since when i came in it was cold. the issue about letting you guys in until 6pm wasn't that pavilion staff were being assholes but rather that the killers and the opening act were practicing and the production team were finalizing all the lights until abour 5:55 and then they cleared out just in time to let you guys in.

[bouncy9708]

it was the best concert ever!!

[annamaria285]

Awesome performance!The begining is so powerful!They sound sooo good live!!

[andyjennynatalie]

[kansasfreak77]

No cause they played when u were young last

[bricac21]

Im so sad I was supposed to go to that concert last night and I had tickets and everything Im so sad

[brooklynbees]

that really sucks :( same situation hereeee

[rwilldred27]

that blows that the camera police were out. I would have guessed there weren't too many problems from where i was in section 208. There were cameras everywhere!!! I hope that means lots more video uploads to come because the killers rocked my life last night.

[purplegirl110294]

WICKED!! I can barely wait for Coldplay in March but a friend heard wind of these guys touring Aus in November...and we're seriously considering going. Would you recommend it? How do you get such brilliant spots at these concerts? And is that beefy looking guy that was scowling at you the reason you turned your camera off mid-song? Uh-oh...

[vivacoldplay]

Absolutely! Well worth it (4 hours in line 7'F) They were very strict about cameras and were giving people their first warning on the second song so I was hiding it most of the time, that's why you see the railing. Right after you see him here he told me to cut it

[purplegirl110294]

Cool, I'll keep that in mind. JESUS that's dedication!! I'm not sure I could be that patient...for Coldplay maybe but my 'rents wouldn't let me mosh in a million years...at least our seats are incredible: first row of the balcony dead opposite the stage. Have you ever seen anyone get their camera confiscated? I'm not sure I'd have the guts to go in filming like that! Kudos to you!

[vivacoldplay]

Cool seats! Showing up early, all I expected was "good" seats but since we were some of the first people to get there, we were determined to stay and get front row. it was worth it. The security at UIC was ridicules, most of them were extremely rude and impatient. The security during the concert was just as bad. I wasn't using flash and had my screen turned off. How more respectful can you get? They didn't take anyone's away, I dont think but they screamed at people a few times

[albertina]

wow thats so rude!!

i was filming in the 3rd row since the security couldn't find my camera

[vivacoldplay]

I probably saw you haha. I didnt understand how people 2 feet behind me weren't even getting looked at for cameras but whatever I think I got some decent film. Concert was awesome

[rickshawricky]

I went with Big Sky VIP Concierge service as a customer. They made him pull video ONLY because he had UIC image at end of video without permission to use. Guy at door searched me even grabbed my camera but said or did nothing. I was 8 rows behind him never had anyone say anything to me. Where did this no cameras thing begin? The bands?

[purplegirl110294]

Geez, I bet those guys would've been popular by the end of the night *grr*. I'll have to be on the look out for a tour Down Under. Thanks for all the info!!

P.S. 'THE ORACLE' ON THE COLDPLAY SITE ANSWERED MY QUESTION TODAY!! I MUST'VE ASKED AND FAILED 8 TIMES BUT IT FINALLY ANSWERED . . . damn it's sad that I'm so excited about that

[vivacoldplay]

haha awesome! ive been trying to quite some time now! What did you ask?

[purplegirl110294]

I asked for a translation of Chris's speech at the NRJs . . . I got a friend to do it for me and she got it generally but that was only schoolgirl French and the actual translation is funny. . . But yeah, my question was the top of the page (I print screened it *tehe*)

[denibaby924]

i have been to my fair share of concerts and security has always been like that. i don't work for security but they are nice people who are just doing their job in keeping everyone safe. plus the event was no cameras. any personnel was actually supposed to confiscate any camera but we obviously didn't. those aren't pavilion rules but rather the rules of the event.

[vivacoldplay]

I have too. I went to 2 at the United Center In Chicago. Both tickets said No Camera's did they search for them? Nope. Did they give people a hard time for taking pictures? Nope

[albertina]

HOB is the most harsh place for cameras even if u can sneak in...

[rwilldred27]

Great show tonight!!! I don't know a better band live, and the best fucking band ever!!!!!

[VivaLaColdplay42]

I love The Killers!! This song is freaking awesome. Next to Coldplay they are my favorite band.
