3344021378_1cc3d99afd The video below is quite possibly the best live performance of any track i’ve ever seen by any band/artist.

I love The Killers, a lot, I saw them twice on the same tour in the space of 4 months this year (pic opposite is from Manchester) and Dustland Fairytale is by far my favourite track from the latest album Day & Age. When I heard about this performance I was intriguied but really didn’t expect it to ‘work’.

Well I was VERY wrong! It seriously works, it takes the song to another level!

Full Orchestra

So you’re booked to appear on Letterman and perform your latest single? How do you improve on an already amazing track? Bring a 20+ piece orchestra with you of course! Including a harp!

I honestly can’t say how much I was blown away by this performance the first few times I saw it and i’ve seen it 100s of times since and still love it! The harp at the start is stunning and the when the violins are really going for it in the breakdown is just amazing.
