The Killers at Virgin Fest - May 21, 2007 at Thunderbird Arena

David Keuning

Best part about the Virgin Festival was the dress like a rockstar booth. We dressed up in crazy wigs and clothing and had our photos taken in a blatant attempt to sell Motorola Razrs! I want one now so I guess it worked.

My thoughts on the Killers show are that they were amazing and you could barely tell that Brandon Flowers had had bronchitis and had cancelled the previous two shows.

This is a link to my photos and thoughts from the show I saw in October 2006.

The Killers - October 11, 2006 : The Orpheum Vancouver

Thanks Sonia for the invite.
Tonight we went to see the Killers at the Orpheum. 8th row!!! Pretty sweet. This is only a few weeks after we did the Orpheum tour where we got to see every square inch of Vancouver's historic landmarks.

The San Franscisco band The Immigrants opened the show with a short set. The lead singer looked like a mix of My Chemical Romance and Richard Ashcroft of the Verve fame. The guitarist looked EXACTLY like V from V for Vendetta.

The Killers took the stage to Sam's Town and When You Were Young, and the crowd was going crazy including me and Sonia who were screaming like school girls.





In keeping with the cowboy theme of Sam's Town, the stage was dressed like a wild west saloon. Of course, this steel claw grasping the disco ball was a bit of an anomaly.

Sonia was really into the porn stache of Ronnie Vannuccci Jr and I can't say I blamed her.

The four song encore meant we could finally run screaming to the front of the stage where we could see Brandon's stubble. We're such girls, I know, but don't judge us.
