misssara11In a word: AWESOME!
Go back and read the Tweets for the set list.
The opening band was made up of cute boys from New Hampshire and were called Wild Light. I thought they were quite good. They had a song called "My Father's a Horse". True story. This and Seth Meyers makes me believe there are many cute boys in New Hampshire.
The main event included palm trees on the stage and a flower arrangement next to the drum kit. It's just as awesome as it sounds.
I was all the way on the right side, second row of that section. The sub woofer was right in front of me. As was the mysterious air cannons. A couple of seat and across the aisle was a woman pushing 50 wearing fishnets, knee high boot, a snug (not too tight) top and a pleather mini skirt. You should be scared. The amusing part was when she came out into the aisle to take a picture and she attempted to squat for a better angle without flashing anything in the skirt. It's more awkward than it sounds.
The show was fanstastic. And loud. At one point Brandon Flowers was 15 ft. away from me!!! I took many pictures and a couple of movies (but I have now idea of their sound quality due to the LOUDNESS). I will get them up eventually just know they are incredible, though I never saw stage right.
At the end of "Mr. Brightside" the air cannons shot out while confetti into the crowd and down my low-cut top into my bra. SO COOL!
From the moment the Killers hit the stage, no none sat. We all danced and clapped and sang. Oh did we sing. To the point where I didn't realize Brandon quit singing at one point until he put the mic back to his mouth. We were that loud! Of course during "All These Things" we didn't even have to be prompted to do the most natural sing-a-long part of a song EVER! We all had soul but were not soldiers (they had a t-shirt that said that too but it wasn't in my size!). I'm hoarse from the singing.
I saw these guys during the Hot Fuss tour four years ago. They were great then. The are better now. If you get a chance, GO!
Now, I hear Franz is Superfantastisch (see what I did there?) live. Lets hope so because after tonight, it's going to take a lot to impress me.
