We three crazy chicks had dinner at the Scholz Garten before the concert. None of us had ever eaten there so we decided to try something new. To my surprise, the food was actually really good. Mostly BBQ on the menu, but there enough options for us non-red meat eaters.
We arrived at the concert just in time for the opening band to be finishing their last song. We were so stoked about our awesome seats and perfect timing. The Killers played all the songs from their new cd Day & Age with several of the old favorites mixed in.
The Killers rocked the Frank Erwin Center for about 1.5 hours.
My personal Killers favorites are:
When You Were Young
For Reasons Unknown
Read My Mind
Bones
Mr. Brightside
Smile Like You Mean It
All These Things That I've Done
Somebody Told Me
Obviously, The Killers are one of my favorite bands. And with good reason.... They absolutely ROCK live. In fact, they undoubtedly sound BETTER live than on the CDs. I cannot say that about any other band I've heard. Sometimes the music is so doctored up in the studio that it can be a let down to see your favorite bands live.
There are several songs on their new CD Day & Age that I really didn't love...until last night. Seeing and hearing them live made me appreciate those songs so much more. Now I can't wait to listen to the new CD again with this new appreciation and visions of the concert in my head.
Smile Like You Mean It!
