To Cardiff on Guy Fawkes night to see The Killers, and what a great night it turned out to be. 'Brandon and the Beardie Blokes' as they probably should be known as, were on great form. They were tight and they rocked. Terrific light show, with extra fireworks thrown in as well, I suspect, given the date. They played all the old favourites and about half of the new album, which is slowly growing on me but doesn't do it for me in quite the same way as the others. 'Deadlines and Commitments', my favourite on the album, wasn't one of the somgs they played, but hey.
One thing, and I did check with my family that it wasn't just my middle-aged man's hearing, but my experience of the sound quality that the Motorpoint offers wasn't great. Saw Franz Ferdinand there once and thought the same, which is a great shame because the Killers were a bit let down on that front I suspect.
A really good gig, which would have been great if it weren't for that. The whole family enjoyed it and that in itself makes it the most successful family gig ever.
