Everyone loves the Killers, or so it seems so, judging for the disappointing
crowd that turns up for the Liverpudlians. Latest LP "The Invisible
Invasion" is one of their best pieces of work to date, and last single "In
The Morning" is second only to "Dreaming Of You".
For a band who are noticing the drop-off in sales of their album, they do
not heavily promote their new album, but opt for a more festival-friendly
greatest hits set. "Simon Diamond" from their first album goes down very
well, especially as "Pass It On" from Magic and Medicine follows a couple of
songs later.
The new material that fills the gaps between the older material and "In The
Morning" sounds very good, but apart from "Pass It On", the first true
standout track is "Don't Think You're the First", with the band giving off a
great summery vibe that goes well with the scorching Scottish sunshine.
Some of the weaker tracks off of the "Invisible Invasion" don't go down as
well, which is a shame, as "Dreaming Of You" is one of the best sing-a-longs
of the whole day, only to be followed by another, last single "In The
Morning".
Although more people have wandered across to see the band, you can't help
but feel that it's depressingly easy to get semi-close to the stage, and it
kills the atmosphere a little. Some of the best T sets have been packed
(i.e. Pixies or Muse 2004, and the Foos later on the Saturday), and the
ample room is a little disappointing.
Closing number "Arabian Sound" does soung very impressive, but as much as
the band have tried to pull the set back from the brink. thanks to the
Killers, the Invisible Invasion failed to conquer T. Ah well, smile like you
mean it boys.
