Killers <<scroll down for Photos>>
From 2005 for three albums, the Killers just plain excited the pop world.
"Hot Fuss", "Sam's Town" and "Day & Age" spawned single after single - "Mr Brightside", "All These Things I Have Done", "Smile Like You Mean It", "Somebody Told Me", "When You Were Young", "Read My Mind", "Human" and "Spaceman".
They seemed unstoppable and graced festival after festival. As I have said, the Killers are just so exciting to watch.
Their inclusion in the line up for Live8 in 2005 caused rows between Bob Geldof and promotor Harvey Goldsmith - Geldof stating that they were the biggest band currently on the planet and Goldsmith saying that their was not enough time on the bill (Geldof won).
I saw them at Hard Rock Calling at Hyde Park in June 2009. A joyous day.
After touring for 2008's "Day & Age" ended in 2010, the band had a hiatus and came back in 2013 with "Battle Born".
For me, not as vital a record and sounding strangely tired.
That said, in those heady years until 2010, certainly when I saw them the Killers were the biggest pop phenomenon on the planet.
Breathtaking.
Number of gigs: 1 + Live8
