Killers smashed it with All These Things and Mr Brightside....Brandon said that 'you do the John Peel stage twice in your career, once on the way up and once in the way down'.....I feel this was a big of a swan song for a fantastic band. The crowd were amazing....must admit I had tears in my eyes singing along with my teenage daughter. Those two songs in particular bring back so many many memories singing along in the car.
They headlined the Pyramid stage ten years ago on the Saturday night. Good, but far too quiet - I was near the farm and I struggled to hear them over the people around me.
I read somewhere over the weekend that the last time they played Glastonbury, they suffered so many sound problems that Brandon Flowers vowed never to come back again. Good that he had a change of heart, but that might have been the set you were on about.
I was there that night. So quiet + so many people that we schlepped off to see Roy Ayers on the jazz stage. hehe

I love that they did Lucky near the beginning of their set as it's one of my favourite songs they've done.
I really appreciate their later music too, In Rainbows was great can't say I loved Moon Shaped Pool though to be honest.
As for Atoms for Peace, Thom teamed up with the wrong Chili Pepper.
The bass on Stuck together pieces though. cloud9

Every band I ever played in - stting my pants up until the first song's done, then it goes away. Never shaken that off.
