picked up a good single for tonights show at Barclays.

Anyone else going?

[thom hudson]

anyone going to msg fri?

They're playing in Chicago next week, and it'll be their first stop in the city that I've missed since the Sam's Town tour. The sets from this tour actually look pretty strong, but my lack of enthusiasm for the new album is keeping me from traveling too far to see them.

I'm still on the fence for Bonnaroo. My concern is they won't add a Nashville date to the next wave of U.S. dates because of their festival appearance. Seeing them play the Grand Ole Opry is a show I look forward to every 3-4 years.

tickets going for $200+ tonight at MSG is ABSURD

kind of weird
When they came around in 2013-14 (i believe it was) they were significantly easier to acquire

Wow, thats nuts. They were in DC a few nights ago in a much smaller venue and prices were in that range, but for fucking MSG? Thats insane.

[maxatlof]

This is too fuckin cool. From the Philly show a few nights ago. At the end Brandon explains that it wasn't pre-planned. Must've been cool as hell to be in the crowd.

Picked up some cheap tickets to see the show in LA tonight. Been near the top of my list of bands to see live for awhile. Don't know what to expect as far the setlist, but I'm pumped!

I'm jealous as hell. Almost all of the reviews I've read for this tour no matter the city have all been great reviews. Enjoy it man!

Just pulled 4 pit tickets to their recently announced Deer Creek show. Excited to see them at an outdoor amphitheater for once!

Wonderful Wonderful has "aged" well. I like it a ton more now than I did when it came out.

Rut is great.

Meh. I never have even a remote inclination to revisit the album as a whole. There are still a few standalone tracks I listen to though, Rut included.

I actually saw them for the 14th time a few weeks ago at Deer Creek, and my brother ended up bailing shortly beforehand because he couldn't justify taking time off work given his disdain for Wonderful Wonderful. They ended up only playing The Man, Run for Cover, and The Calling.

Those are my three favorites from the album, along with Tyson vs. Douglas.

The Calling was originally near the bottom for me, mostly due to Woody Harrelson's spoken word intro. The live versions really changed my opinion of it though.

Rut, Tyson vs. Douglas, and Life to Come are probably my three favorite WW tracks.

[TheLastStop123]

Great use of The Man in the Vice trailer. Just perfect. Great song.

New song Land Of The Free out

Yikes!

[neumdogg]

Listening to Hot Fuss right now. Haven't in a very long time.

I think it's time for them to go on tour and just play that album in its entirety. That would be awesome.

Really dig the new single!

[clayj41]

Could've sworn I posted a link to it earlier today, but I guess I closed my browser before submitting.

The new single is definitely a step back in the right direction. And I'm always down for listening to Lindsey Buckingham shred it.

I plan on attending the September show in Nashville if I'm alive and concerts are still a thing then.

[DMBCardinal]

Best song from The Killers in a long time. Hopefully the rest of the album follows suit.

Really?? Doesn't sound Killers-esq to me at all. Production wise I think it sounds identical to something from The Desired Effect. This band misses Dave's guitar playing so bad.

[clayj41]

It's infinitely better than anything on Wonderful Wonderful.

[maxatlof]

His voice is fucking magic. And Ronnie doing his best John Cougar impression

I'm really digging Fire in Bone as well. Bummer to hear that the album is being delayed but not totally unexpected.

Some Kind of Love never really did anything for me off the last album but they recently did a live stream of a really cool rendition of it. Idk what this performance was for but I found it on YouTube. And the ending is quite humorous. Also it's got over 11k reviews and zero dislikes which is kinda amazing. Also I heard today on Sirius they mentioned that the new album drops this Fri which was news to me because I'd knew it was delayed but hadn't seen a new release date posted anywhere. Not even on their website or social media accounts.

May 29th was the original release date. From what I've read, there isn't a new date yet.
