Probably the best Christmas present I got was from my loving, awesome, best girl in the world Angie was a pair of tickets to see one of my personal favorites The Killers! The show was last Tuesday the 20th downtown Chicago, which is about a 2 hour drive South for us. I couldn't thank her enough. The show was amazing. If you haven't heard them and are interested, check em out! They have kind of a synthesizer 80's ring to them, but much better :) Brandon Flowers has a strange voice which I think is similar to the singer of The Cars, and in the concert he sounded even better than their albums. I was just blown away by their performance. AWESOME AWESOME show, thanks for the tickets Angie :thumb: If you like these guys' music and they are headed towards your town I would suggest looking for tickets! The pictures aren't too clear so I only posted 2 but I hope you enjoy.

Westley.. glad to hear you had a great time at the concert and thanks for the review. :thumb:
It is good to know (especially these days) what concerts are worth spending the money on. Seems too many of the newer bands/singers just don't have to live vocal ability that they have on their overly edited/dubbed/remixed albums.
 
Lucky you Wes!

I too very much like the Killers.......

Such good music!

I agree that they do have a certain 80's style/sound, and some of their songs really remind me of The Cure, well, especially "Tranquillize" :D

I've not been to a concert in a VERY long time, last one.............

Guns & Roses, here in Tokyo, and no one stood up :eek:

WEIRD :rolleyes:

Cheers!
 
+1 on the Lucky You and thanks; I had missed 'the KILLERS'. This forum helped me discover Imogen Heap and 'the Dualers' as well. WWing AND tunes; what could be better?

Those are probably my favorite and they played everything I was hoping, it was great. Their new cd is really good too, I like everything on it. Same with all their other ones :) Their new one is kinda different from the others but still good. I could see some Cure in there too, like you are saying.

Wow Guns N Roses that would have been a cool show to see! Yeah that must have been sometime ago they split sometime mid 90's right? But I think there is a "new" Guns n Roses back together. Dunno who's all missing from the band now. I DO know the original drummer is missing because I keep seing him on the VH1 show Celebrity Rehab :eek: And yes that is VERY strange that no one stood up!

Nice Glenn, glad you found some more stuff those are also good groups. WWing and tunes - you're correct, nothing could be better than that!
