The Killers in Chicago, Jan 20, 2009

Another night and I was talked into the Killers again.  We had a meeting get scheduled in Chicago where the Killers were playing another night.  One hour before the concert, we acquired some decent seats and three friends entered the UIC Pavilion.

The crowd always makes a concert and the band was playing off the vibe.  The place erupted in excitement as the Killers mimicked the playlist from several nights before, but there was something different.  Brandon was getting into the crowd's face, egging them on, which forced further eruptions.

"All These Things That I Have Done" is always a person favorite, cause I've got Soul but I'm not a Soldier.  Once again, this night was extra special as the crowd carried the intro into the Soul chant.  Brandon was visibly loving it as much as we were, as he hopped around the stage in excitement.

Still, coming back out for the encore and taking the audience into the mid 80's with a little Joy Division cover was priceless.  One of the best covers ever done, as well as a great song for a beautiful movie (Control), Shadowplay.  The lights went down and I took a literal journey back into my earlier life.  Alisa thought I was Jan Brady seeing Johnny Bravo for the first time as I hurled a scream across the arena.  Needless to say.........I AM RESOLD ON THE KILLERS.

I DID EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING I WANTED TO

I LET THEM USE YOU, FOR THEIR OWN ENDS
