I went to see the Killers at Newcastle on this year's tour. I knew they were good live but they surprised me just how good they were. They don't just go through the motions - they put on a show and aim to play everything perfectly and with feeling. I liked the group, but wasn't fanatical. I didn't think they could be as good live as Green Day, but they were. I left the gig hooked.
This cd and dvd package is superb and is a must for anyone who likes the Killers' music. Each product sold separately would represent good value but as a package represents fantastic value.

This twin set is very good value,the DVD alone lasts for over two hours and includes all their hits.The Royal Albert Hall is such a good venue and the quality is superb.Their sound is even better live and what a great front man is Brandon Flowers.They put on a good rock show without all the theatrics of dancers etc and the proof is a band that I hope will continue for many years to come.The planned covers album sounds really interesting.

The Killers Live From The Royal Albert Hall is a fantastic live dvd and cd compiled from the Las Vegas band's two night stand at London's Royal Albert Hall on the 5th and 6th July 2009. The dvd is largely based around their Day & Age album but also features a generous amount of material from their previous albums; Hot Fuss, Sam's Town and the rarities album Sawdust.
I was lucky enough to be at this concert, so watching the dvd brought back memories from a truly spectacular night. The band were on top form and Brandon Flowers appeared to be in his element, delivering a charismatic performance, with great stage presence and impressive vocals throughout. Some of the performance highlights for me include 'This Is Your Life', 'Joy Ride', 'Read My Mind' and 'A Dustland Fairytale' (during which Flowers strides into the crowd to join in with a fan sing-a-long). Other highlights include a spine tingling acoustic rendition of 'Sam's Town', the anthem like 'All These Things That I've Done' and the stunning 'I Can't Stay', in which Flowers' strong vocals are particularly evident. Although the dvd centres mostly around the Day & Age album, the setlist provides a varied mixture of tracks from previous albums, including fan favourites 'Mr Brightside' and 'Somebody Told Me'. My one and only gripe (if you can call it that) with the setlist is that I wish they had of played 'Neon Tiger' as it is my favourite track from the Day & Age album, and it sounds brilliant played live.
On a side note, I loved how the dvd is filmed and directed. The camera following the band as they leave and return to the stage for the encore, complete with backstage shots gives the dvd a real documentary style feel, and makes the viewer feel like they are part of the action.
Dvd extras include performances from various festivals and a behind-the-scenes documentary with interviews from crew and fans. Whilst the documentary makes for a fascinating watch, it would have been nice to have included an interview with the band themselves.
Overall, Live From The Royal Albert Hall is a thoroughly enjoyable watch from start to finish and is a must have for any fan. The setlist is fantastic, the band show strong chemistry and musicianship and Flowers is a truly charismatic, talented frontman. This is the first live dvd/cd release from The Killers, hopefully we won't have to wait too long for the next one.
