I love The Killers. They are the combination of bands I loved in the 80s: New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran, The Cure and Erasure. I had never seen them in concert since I was either pregnant or nursing everytime they came to town. Jon surprised me and got tickets to The Killers concert who opened The new Joint at Hard Rock hotel. It was one of the best concerts I had been to in a while. Definitely in my top 10. Since I am on the subject, I think back and some of my favorite concerts have been when I was single. It was different going then since I was a club kid and really enjoyed dancing. Music ruled my life (pre-kids). Many of the best concerts are from my youth. Some venues were large, but the small ones were the best. And of course, the friends I went with were bonus. The Killers evokes these times. I have so many memorable ones, but here are my top 16 - where it was and who I went with:
