The Killers - Live From The Royal Albert Hall Blu Ray

Live From The Royal Albert Hall The Killers release their first live DVD on November 9th 2009. Filmed at London’s Royal Albert Hall during two very special shows in July, the film highlights how, in five short years, the Las Vegas band has become one of the biggest and most exciting live bands in the world, with the showmanship to match their incredible catalogue of songs. This package also includes the band’s first and only live CD with 80 minutes of live performance, as well as a behind-the-scenes documentary. Rather than filming one of their massive UK arena shows... earlier this year (the band sold out an incredible 150,000 tickets in just two hours of going on sale), The Killers chose to film at the Royal Albert Hall, a venue with which they fell in love when they played an exclusive launch show for their million-selling (UK) third album, Day & Age, last November. This beautiful and historic room, built by Queen Victoria in memory of her Prince Albert in 1871, now holds a special place for the band. As, indeed, does the venue hold the band in its heart – an image of The Killers is painted within its corridors in a graffiti installation alongside other previous artists to have famously played there, including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Hendrix, Clapton, Sinatra and Pavarotti. The Killers – Live From The Royal Albert Hall features tracks from the band’s three studio albums, Hot Fuss (2004), Sam’s Town (2006) and Day & Age (2008) - including huge hit singles Human, Spaceman, When You Were Young, Read My Mind, Mr Brightside, Somebody Told Me and All These Things That I’ve Done - as well as rarer tracks including a cover of Joy Division’s Shadowplay and fan favourite Sweet Talk (from the 2007 collection of rarities, Sawdust). The Killers recently wrapped up a summer of festival headline shows in the UK and Europe – performances from which are included as Bonus Material in the Live From The Royal Albert Hall DVD - and are now on tour in the US, playing sold out shows at venues including LA’s Hollywood Bowl and Denver’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Huge headline shows in South America and South Africa will see the band touring up until Christmas. [show more]
