The Killers seem to have made When You Rock And Roll With Me a fixed part of their set now. Truth be told, the most memorable thing about the gig was the atrocious sound, which means it basically took me about half a minute before I realised Brandon had slipped into the Bowie song. It was reverb after reverb after reverb. Enough sound to fill a stadium, except the Paradiso is like a little ex-church club that only holds about 800 people. I think this was the worst the sound has ever been in there, even surpassing the quality of sound (or lack there of) of David's show at the Amsterdam Arena(-ena-ena-na-a).
However... this didn't seem to bother the audience at all, who just went completely nuts. It was awesome to see, and feel the entire crowd shifting, jumping and generally going insane. Band seemed high on the energy coming from the crowd, which fueled some action-reaction thing, where both started feeding of eachother. Great too watch.
For me, it was a revalation, as the only times I saw The Killers before they were playing support for U2 in huge arenas, which must be the most unthankful job on the planet. They kind of got lost in the sheer size of the stadium then, whereas today they were drowned by the audience, who sang every song word for word (which of course made the sound worse =) )
Anyway, I took a lot of pictures, but here's a small selection:
There's some more pics of them up on my flickr page 
I wouldn't mind seeing them again at the High Line Festival actually. Hint hint.
