What was the "Killers" song that was played just before the Vertigo show started?

Can anyone tell me what the name of the "Killers" song was that was played over the P.A. a few songs before the Vertigo show started?

I'm looking for some new music to download (legally, of course) and I think I want that tune.

By the way, I'm open to any suggestions for any other interesting music to open my mind a little. Have at it.

Wouldnt it change for each gig ?

Or do you mean ' wake up ' by arcade fire ?

 

[Knuckle]

No...I don't mean "Wake Up" by the Arcade Fire. That's a great tune though.

I think the "Killers" song I'm talking about was played just before "Wake Up". They played the same recorded sequence of songs before each show (in the USA at least). They do it before every show on every tour (different songs for each tour obviously though).

I recall hearing both Mr Brightside and Somebody Told Me between San Diego I and L.A II.

Go out and buy that entire "Hot Fuss" album by the Killers -- it's their first record and it is chock full of good songs.

 

[discothequeLP]

Hey...thanks a lot for that comprehensive list of songs (above). I've been plucking a few of them down from iTunes to get some new music. Good stuff.

at first it was "mr. brightside" and "somebody told me"....but later on in the 3rd leg it was "all these things that i have done...." which the killers performed at live 8.

get hot fuss and their new album called sam's town....imo, there's not a bad song on either one. they are far and away my fave new band in the last few years!!

also, brandon flowers was onstage w/u2 at the vegas 2 show this tour singing "in a little while" w/bono. you can search for that on youtube.com

hey nick! are you going to the not so silent night radio show on december 8th in san fran?! i'm skippng hawaii and going to see the killers instead!!!!YYYYYAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!

WOW...never thought i'd say there was a band i'd like to see more than u2 ...of course the fact that i can afford san fran and not hawaii might be a contributing factor...haha! the fact that i was over the vertigo tour before portland might be another.....

 

[nuke126]

i didn't try to get tickets to live105 xmas show because i don't like the other bands, and don't want to stand through them all. the killers are coming back to the US for a Spring tour and i'll go to those shows.
