The Killers put on an energizing show last night at the Hard Rock Live at The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood. The sold out show consisted mainly of teenagers and 20-something hipsters jumping up and down with their cell phones. There were no seats on the main floor and as soon as doors opened, hundreds were already lined up in front of the stage at 7 p.m., two and a half hours before The Killers would actually come on stage.

Two bands opened for them. First up was Howling Bells, which sounded a lot like The Cranberries. Then The Rapture played. These guys were like Jamiroquai on Crystal Meth. They had a sax player and a crazy '80s, disco sound. I'll probably buy their CD, drink a bunch of Red Bull and try to do Cornholio impressions.

The Killers opened with a black and white film flashing images of the old west. Remember, that's the look and feel these guys are after now--you know spurs, the mysterious whistle and tumbleweeds.You could hardly hear the band during the choruses because the crowd was singing along so loudly. While they played many tunes off their new album, Sam's Town, it was obvious Hot Fuss is still fueling South Florida as a favorite album. They played "Somebody Told Me" early in the show, which was a shocker, and then later did "Smile Like You Mean It," and the show stopping "Mr. Brightside."

If you didn't get a chance to catch this show, try to check them out next time they're down here. They're great live plus Brandon Flowers was sporting these fabulous ruby shoes that were worth checking out alone. Every once in a while he'd jump on a amplifer in those red shoes and conduct the crowd. People were jumping around so much you could feel the balcony swaying a bit.
