Okay, so the concert on itself was WONDERFUL. They were brilliant and they gave an amazing, amazing concert. BUT. The, er, auditorium? What's it called in English? has a perfect acustic if you're smack in the middle of it. If you're in the sides, though? Well... not so much. Guess where we were. So yeah, we couldn't hear much.
Another bad pointer was that the crowd was SO apathetic. I mean. It was SOLD OUT. So it was 50 000 people in there, and you'd think that with effing 50 000 people, they'd rock the hell out of the place, right? Yeah, no such luck. We were dancing and singing and going nuts and the people in front of us were SEATING. Who does that in a concert?
And yet, IT WAS STILL AWESOME.
They started with Sam's Town, a nice way to kick-off, and then there was Enterlude and Bones, both of them very cool and then it was When You Were Young and Somebody Told Me and MAN, but Brandon's voice could hardly be heard from the crowd singing along! It was SO SO GOOD.
Then it was Jenny Was A Friend of Mine, also very chorused and then it was followed by This River Is Wild and Uncle Jonny and LOL but I was one of the few that knew them all by heart XD Silly people, only knowing the singles. THEN. IT WAS Midnight Show, WHICH IS LIKE, MY FAVORITE SONG OF THEIRS. I was so so worried they wouldn't play it! And Brandon Flowers sort of choked the bass player, lol (whose name I don't remember, embarassingly. Um.)
Followed by Smile Like You Mean It which was so so cute sounding and then Read My Mind whicl I've never liked much but the crowe loved it and then Bling (Confession of a King) and THEN, OH MY, folowed Mr. Brightside and WOAH, the people went CRAZY. OH SO WONDERFUL, I was all hyped up by then.
They went out then and the STUPID PEOPLE started booing and going out. LIKE, WHO DOES THAT? Had they never gone to a concert before? ENCORE, PEOPLE, IT EXISTS.
So yay, encore, and it started with Everything Will Be Alright, which was sort of blah and then, ;LAKJSDFLASJF, THEY COVERED CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF OF YOU. OH MAN. I ALMOST MELTED. Sadly, though, they stopped RIGHT BEFORE the 'I love you baaaaaby' part. Boo. BUT STILL. Then there was a B-side, whose name I keep on forgetting, but I'd heard it before and I like it loads. Then, WEE, it was For Reasons Unknown and to end it, Brandon CLIMBED ON TOP OF HIS WEIRD-LOOKING PIANO and sang All These Things That I've Done and let the people sing by themselves most of the 'I got sould but I'm not a soldier' part. EEEEEEH.
They went out then. And people started cheering and cheering and Brandon got back by himself and bowed and was CUTE and played Exitlude and all of the people got out of their cell-phones and waved them around. He seemed to find it pretty amusing, because he started yelling to 'light'em up' and the rest of the band came out again and played a shorter and acoustic version of Read My Mind and well, with that amount of people with their cells out it looked GORGEOUS. And then they played When You Were Young again! I'd never seen a band to do that! But it was awesome awesome awesome and I'm smiling just from thinking about it.
My favorite favoritest concert ever continues to be the Placebo one, (because, DUDE, but first row) but this one was pretty awesome, anyway. ♥♥♥♥

They've... ah... blown up a bit since then, haven't they? XD

But man, yes. I remember really getting into them when I was in my sophomore year of high school (wow, was that really four years ago?), when Somebody Told Me was just a funny song about this mysterious gendered dude, lol. They'd never come here before, that's why it was so HUGE, too.
