The Killers @ Molson Amp, Sept 6th



Last night I went to see my last show of the summer, The Killers. I saw them in January at the ACC, however this show was much more appealing to me because I bought lawn tickets for only 20 bucks, Molson Amp is way more intimate than the ACC, and Wolfmother, Australia's rock legends opened.

When We got to the show I noticed how there was a a row of empty seats in one of the sections. so instead of sitting far back in the muddy lawn I just sat in the seats, and nobody kicked me out. Soon after I claimed the seat, Wolfmother took the stage. This was exciting because they recently came back from their nine-month hiatus. They played a 40 minute set of intense 70's like rock n roll which included hits Joker and the Thief and Woman. The crowd liked them, but I was blown away. Even far from the stage, I felt the energy of the band, which is usually difficult for an opening band.

The Killers got on stage at 9:15. They opened up with the 2 hits from their new album, Human and Spaceman. The stage had palm trees scattered all over and there were 5 vertical screens in the background, which had a different video projected on them for every song. I thought it was really cool, and they didn't have that when I saw them in January. Lead singer Brandon Flowers ran around the stage and sometimes played synthesizers, which was cool. A great show, a great night, and a great way to end the summer!
