The Killers have pulled off some pretty stunning, big-ticket TV performances since new album 'Day & Age' came out.
'Human' at the MTV Europe Awards springs to mind - but this orchestra-augmented performance of current US single 'A Dustland Fairytale' is even better, propelled by a billowing, epic arrangement that meshes well with the song's big-country, open-road Springsteen-isms (is there a more 'Born To Run'-summoning image than "slick chrome American prince"?)
Nice bit of harp in there, too...

That's why they are so BIG,from a victim in Malta

The Killers are the Barcelona of the music scene. Head and shoulders above everyone. If you like this track, check out Springsteen's first 3 albums (early 70's). Don't worry if Bruce seems 'uncool' to you, his early stuff is awesome.
