Editorial Review:
Description: Now The Killers know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall. On July 5-6th, during their 8-country European festival tour, the multi-platinum VMA Award-winning, Grammy-nominated band performed two historic nights at the legendary Kensington venue. LIVE FROM THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL, The Killers' first official DVD release, is a spectacular 22-song live concert experience - filmed in HD (with `Fan's Eye View' alternative camera angle) and full 5.1 sound. Killers fans will appreciate how faithful LIVE FROM THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL is to the band's sight and sound onstage. Moreover, the songs cut across all four of the Killers' album releases, from their debut Hot Fuss ("Somebody Told Me," "Smile Like You Mean It," "Mr. Brightside," "All These Things That I've Done," "Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine"); to Sam's Town ("For Reasons Unknown," "Bling (Confessions Of A King)," "Sam's Town (acoustic)," "Read My Mind," "The River Is Wild," "Bones," "When You Were Young"); to Sawdust ("Shadowplay," "Sweet Talk"); and Day & Age ("Human," "This Is Your Life," "The World We Live In," "Joy Ride," "I Can't Stay," "Losing Touch," "Spaceman," "A Dustland Fairytale"). The DVD, who's running time is over 2 hours, is packed with bonus extras - starting with an additional five songs from the festival tour: "Tranquilize" (live at the Oxegen Festival in Ireland, July 12th); "Human" and "Mr. Brightside" (from Hyde Park in London on June 26th); and "Smile Like You Mean It" and "When We Were Young" (from the V Festival in August). A behind-the-scenes documentary, including interviews with crew and fans, rounds out the bonus content on the DVD. LIVE FROM THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL was produced by Jim Parsons and directed by Dick Carruthers, whose credits include The Who Live at the Royal Albert Hall (2000), and long-form live performance DVDs with Oasis, Noel Gallagher, Keane, Van Morrison, Kaiser Chiefs, Bryan Adams, Aerosmith, White Stripes, and many others.

I heard couple of songs from The Killers before but this bluray really made me a fan of them. In contrast to other bluray concerts this was shot from many different angles producing a delightful watching experience. Sound is excellent too, bass performance is adequate, not too soft not overwhelming. 100% recommended.

I purchased this along with the Kings of Leon live at the O2 in London, and both are great. The Killers sound great, and the picture quality is spot on. Lighting and stage design is great. It really puts on a great display - especially coupled with an HDTV and Surround sound. I've never had the chance to see them live - but this was probably the next best thing - in some ways better. The multiple angles and clean sound make the experience a little more pleasant than the sometimes rough sound at a bad theater setting.
I gave this product a 5 Star rating because I feel that it meets all the requirements for good entertainment, great sound, great picture quality, good subject matter, a full track list, and a great overall experience. If you like the Killer's, you'll love this!

The show is superb!!! There is a lot of reviews about it. Technically, it has a very good video quality, but the sound... well... its a DTS-Master Audio track, but the sub-woofer channel (LFE) is tooooooo much low. Masterization problem??? Don't know... But my sub-woofer stay quiet, and it works perfectly with another shows I have. Even raising the sub channel level of my receiver, the bass sound makes almost no vibration in my room. When I change the soundtrack to stereo PCM, everything sounds normal like a real The Killers' show, but in DTS-MA the bass is a problem, don't expect much more than a whisper from your sub...

I am a huge Killers fan and have been waiting ages for them to release a concert dvd. I found out that they had finally released one and bought it immediately and I can tell you it was amazing, better than I expected. The sound is awesome and the picture quality brilliant, loved the setlist this is a band that are truly on top of their game. Brandon Flowers is a great frontman and the rest are fantastic too. I would highly recommend anyone to buy this dvd if you appreciate great music.

Of the couple hundred DVD's that I have owned, this one is simply the best. The cinematography, the sound, the clarity is all great. It helps that the Killers are one of my favorite bands. I have watched this DVD many times and I am still amazed each time by how good this DVD is.
