#16 See a Favorite Band Live (Complete)

The Killers Killed It!

"Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything."
Plato 

Wow this entry is just a bit late, its one of two entries that I forgot to enter, but none the less let me tell you about my night with the Killers! 

When we talk about #16 and seeing a favorite band, it doesn't get much better then the Killers! Sure there's bands I listen to more like the Black Keys (who I also saw) MGMT, Kings of Leon or Monster of Men but I'd have to put Killers at the top of the list. A lot of there tunes remind me of great times in my life, especially the epic trip with my dad down the 101 coast line....."I've got soul but im not a solider!" So needless to say I was dangerously stoked when Jenelle and I got tickets.

The concert started off with Tegan and Sara as the openers, which was surprising disappointing. I've always loved the sister duo and the tunes they produced but it was evidently clear that in a stadium setting there voices can't match the needs of a loud crowd. So its obvious now that to see Tegan and Sara at there best you really need to be looking at small venues. None the less still a fan, you go girls!

When the Killers hit the stage it was everything that I expected it would be. When you think about the Killers you think about Vegas and their roots there. So its to be expected that a Killers show has all the glam of a Vegas act...and they defiantly do deliver. The show was full of amazing lights and fire displays that kept your eyes engaged and entertained, as most concert do, but with Vegas flare. 

The dazzling lights weren't the only treats thought, the sound quality in the Giants arena was very good! The Killers sounded clear and crisp which made it easy for the crowd to sing (or should i say yell) along.

I left the show with a great smile as I reminisced about the memories that the songs drew out of me. Music has always amazed me, its ability to create emotions, and awaken the mind and heart is truly unique. To me music may well be one of humanities greatest creations. 

Anyways I took a few videos and I hope you enjoy them, the sound quality sucks on my camera so my apologies
