    The Killers played an awesome live 3 song acoustic set on a UK TV show the other night, called Live From Abbey Road (yes the Abbey Road studios). Anyway, it was probably the best set I've ever heard them play so I thought I'd post up these links so those who haven't seen it can:

    When You Were Young and Sam's Town:

    Enjoy!

    Very nice, thanks! They're coming to Red Rocks (here in Colorado) in May - one of those "cost is no object" shows but man are they worth it!

    Thanks again, these were good.

    Ummm.....Hell Yea!

    Ive seen them once and the concert was awesome! Second favorite band besides Coldplay..."You know how i know your gay?...You listen to Coldplay."....ill say it before someone says it...:D

    Thanks! Those are awesome, if you were to go to music.aol.com and seach for the killers, you would find some acoustic music from them from Hot Fuss...

    I was a huge fan of them when Hot Fuss came out. I thought they'd be one of those bands I could keep to myself and enjoy without them being insanely popular. But as soon as "Mr. Brightside" came out, I lost them to the masses. I haven't had a chance to listen to all of Sam's Town, but what I've heard I really enjoy.


    As for these clips, I've always thought the true test of a song is if it has the same impact on you live/acoustic as it does studio made, it's a good song. I can safely say "When You Were Young" falls into that category.

    I am a fan of The Killers. They are coming to Detroit in May and I am going to go to the show. Both albums are solid.

    One of the few bands that we can all listen to at work without argument. I think both albums are great.

    Big fan here, I've met them a few times but ironically have never seen them perform!

    They just won some Brit awards too.

    I was a fan even before they got popular. I haven't bought the new CD yet but probably will soon, what I've heard sounds good.

    My cousin is the guitarist for a band out in LA called Solarcade. According to his sisters they were suppose to open for The Killers at some point. I'm not sure, but I think it was just in LA. Not sure though.

    Unfortunately I haven't talked to or seen him in at least 5 years or more.
