Concert Review: The Killers

Band: The Killers
Venue: TD Banknorth Garden
Date: 9/4/2009

Comments: As of recently, I took a little trek to the TD Banknorth Garden to see the one and only Killers. And I can say they put on one hell of a show. With a set list ranging from Hot Fuss to Sawdust and Sam’s Town to Day & Age, they played all the right songs, including an acoustic version of “Smile Like You Mean It.” Not only were the Killers on the ball, but the opening act, Wolfmother, were also on their game. Their set list included “Joker & the Theif,” “Woman,” and “White Unicorn” among some possibly new songs off Cosmic Egg. Well anyway, The Killers left the stage after the traditional closer of “All These Things That I’ve Done” and came back for an encore with “Human,” “Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine,” and an absolutely huge and perfect rendition of “When You Were Young.” Other big songs of the night were “Shadowplay,” “Somebody Told Me,” “For Reasons Unknown,” “Mr. Brightside (as an opener bizarrely),” “Read My Mind,” “Bones,” and a bunch of others I can’t remember. Overall, a phenomenal showing from one of my favorite bands, The Killers.
