The Venue is amazing, the blu ray high def, is amazing , if you have a decent home theater , it feels like you are right there. I just wish that the majority of Americans got into this kind of music as much as the Europeans, it made me want to buy a ticket to London and see a show ! Posted on May 25, 2011 Errol Taniguchi says... This doesn't get released till November 10th, 2009. But, I just saw it in theaters (it was in very select theaters on Nov. 5, 8pm). It's every bit as good as I hoped it would be. I was lucky enough to be near a theater that played this just a few hours ago, there were only 8 in the whole state of California that was playing this. Visuals were amazing, and the sound was superb. It's not easy to fill a place like Royal Albert Hall with as much intensity, energy and passion as the Killers have done. The stage was attractive and familiar if you've been to a Killers show. The shots were well filmed and the sound capture was good as well. I can't wait to get this and play the **** of my surround system. Update: Received it in the mail the day the DVD/Bluray was released. Way to go Amazon! My rating of 5/5 remains unchanged. This release is every bit deserving of 5 stars. I know it isn't clear on the Amazon page, but the Blu-ray version does NOT come with a CD. The DVD version does. However, that is more of Amazon's fault for not listing correctly, so I disagree with the reviewers who let this affect their review of the Bluray. Product reviews should pertain only to the product, IMO. This Blu-ray is great because the concert itself was great. The Killers are probably one of the best live bands in the world today. This movie release brings the Killers concert experience into the home very, very well. The energy from the band is amazing and Brandon Flowers is left gasping for air at some points. Just buy it, you will not regret it. Posted on May 30, 2011 Chanell Wisch says... The Killers - Live From Royal Albert Hall is an excellent concert video, revealing The Killers as brilliant musicians, both individually and in ensemble. Ronnie Vannucci's drums beat at the center of this astounding group like the steady heart of a seasoned jazz musician: always alive, always responsive to the band, always in perfectly chosen tempo. Dave Keuning, on guitars, is lightyears beyond the generalized strumming of most rock chord-players, speaking to us articulately and beautifully with his nimble fingers. On Bass, Mark Stoermer is powerful and elegant, never missing a step, or beat, and is vigilantly alert to his fellow musicians, always nuanced. The group inspires total confidence, which is in no small part due to the astonishing talent of Brandon Flowers, a singer whose grasp of vocal possibility, both technically and creatively, is far beyond his years. His pastiche of power, nuance, simplicity, refinement, flawless technique, and elegance place him solidly in the pantheon of great singers. Did I mention power? At 28, he has a command of his instrument, and an insight into it's mysteries, that most advanced artists do not begin to approach before they are in their 40's. Simply put, he is a phenomenon: delivering unbroken passion in perfect balance with his skill. Never missing a note or moment of connection, his attention is always with his audience, with giving them the best, and ALL of it. And they are ready and willing to take him up on his offer. The concert DVD / Blu-ray is first rate, mostly due to The Killers all-around brilliant talent as performers and composers, Flowers' lyrics always interesting, always impressionistic and captivating. The audience of fans delivers what has come to be expected by Killers followers: total enthrall and open-hearted excitment. Killers fans are always smiling. And as this concert proves, so are The Killers. Seldom, if ever, have I seen a band (or solo performer) project such open-hearted enjoyment, pure joy, at making music. Flowers and Vannucci never stop smiling, and neither do we. This DVD is simply brilliant. Posted on May 30, 2011 Alonzo Mack says... Yes, this is a great concert.However, the Amazon description is INCORRECT. The CD accompanies the DVD version only.The Blu-ray version only comes with the Blu-ray disc.You do NOT get an audio CD.Minus one star for leaving out the CD, which would have added less than $1 to the cost.Boo. Posted on May 30, 2011 Randa Cazarez says... I've become a fan of the Killers over the past year, and they are proving to be the heir apparent to the likes of U2 and Bruce Springsteen.It's clear they made an investment in producing a state of the art concert film here, and in effect have set a high bar for other bands to reproduce.The visuals are stunning within Royal Albert Hall, with the cameras taking you on a journey from an empty venue to them taking the stage.The sound is amazing, and if you have a surround system, THIS IS the benchmark for testing out your system.Their body of work holds up well over the whole concert.No duds, but for me, some new thoughtfully written songs that I now know! One review I read online by a music critic compared this to Elvis Presley's Hawaii concert film.A very good comparison.However, The Killers, benefit from digital technology that perfects the experience. Posted on May 31, 2011 Dolores Kummer says... I bought this on a lark... I knew a couple of their songs and figured that, for this price, it was worth checking them out. A few viewings later, and I'm hooked, and I'm a big Killers fan.God, these guys can write songs, and they really do create a different atmosphere song-by-song during the show.Very powerful live presence. And, let's face it, Brandon Flowers is most of the show, and the guitarist is probably a good songwriter but not a great musician, and that's just the state of the band.I'd love to see them with a more confident and powerful guitarist, and it would bring them up to the next level to have that, but even without that this is an amazing show.Interesting that both Maroon 5 and The Killers are getting it done without a great guitarist these days.... Anyway, I've been watching and listening to this disc every day for a week or so, can't get the songs out of my head, it's so worth buying, cheaper than a concert ticket and a better view.And, of course, you want the Blu-Ray disc with DTS-HD Master Audio, and you want an amplifier that's capable of delivering the flawless sound contained on that audio track. Posted on June 1, 2011 Shawn Kallenberger says... 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! Posted on June 1, 2011 Maryetta Furguson says... This is an upbeat, happy rock concert with full audience participation.It's a gass. Posted on June 2, 2011 Arletta Ammar says... Great image and sound quality. Outstanding performance from a band that is the salvation of rock nowadays. My first concert in Blu-ray and I`m just amazed. There`s no way the image could be any better.Great product. Posted on June 3, 2011 Evelynn Rattray says... Let me start out by saying first off that I like my music! More so, I like a great live performance! This concert ranks right up there with some of the best I have seen. Many bands can make a good studio album. And the studio can make a good band sound better than they really are. I have spent lots of money over the years going to live concerts. Sometimes to find out that a band we thought was sure to give a good performance, was actually a snoozer. What a let down! I only own a few DVD concert videos-all of these include great live bands. This was my first Blu-Ray concert video purchase and I was blown away. All facets of this video were done close to perfection. I will name a few reasons why: The venue, the camera angles, lighting, special effects, set, fan interaction/participation, and most of all THE BAND! The sound was incredible! I have always liked the Killers music, but never realized how diverse it was. Never even owned one of their albums before buying this concert footage. What turned me on to it was the fact that I heard "When you were young" on the radio. No, it wasn't the first time I'd heard the song, but it was the live version from the Royal Albert Hall concert. It sounded great live, and you could sort of feel the energy of the live show. After the song, I took note of where the live show was played at... Long story short, after checking out a short preview clip from another unnamed music store I found myself on Amazon looking to secure a Blu-Ray copy before the release! Glad I did. I have watched it 3 times with different people and they too were all wowed by the overall performance. All had the same comments-couldn't believe how good they really were. Sound even better live! I recommend anyone to get this concert if you are on the fence. You won't be disappointed! If you have 1080 HD capabilities and a good sound system, go for the Blu-Ray! -T Posted on June 3, 2011 Leave a Comment |
