At least Brandon Flowers cares enough about his fans to genuinely interact with them and perform "in the moment" instead of going through the motions like a drone in an attempt to milk the tit of a cash cow that has been dead and buried for at least a decade now.

Ooohh, I agree with you re: The Killers and how amazing their show is. I have been a fan of theirs for
years, so their absolute amazing-ness is hardly a revelation, but I realize others probably don't get them and definitely wouldn't get Brandon in all his wear-your-heart-on-your-sleeve, self-centered, and egotistical greatness. Just know that your opinion is shared by many...certainly myself, who is making it a point to go to the Lollapoalooza just to see them again.
But FM's show? " Complete debacle??!!?" I respectfully disagree. I found that concert experience to be absolutely mesmerizing. I was blown away by the artistry and care they put into their performances. Yes, Stevie was a little slower and possibly not as "into" some of the songs, but I sincerely didn't feel that loss. I said that the day I posted my reviews: I wasn't expecting her to come out doing high-kicks and belting 2 minute-long notes. I came in expecting to see a 60 year-old dame do her thing and I saw she still has a lot of it. And Lindsey? Puhlease. I love Brandon Flowers but even he couldn't keep me as transfixed as that man. I truly thought I got every penny's worth. Even when I had the not-so-great seats that I paid quite a bit for, where I was surrounded by 2 women and 1 guy wearing capes and banging on tambourines while simultaneously twirling and playing air guitar...it was an incredible experience.
I'm sorry you didn't feel that way.
I wish, though, for everyone's sake that we all kind of come to a truce with regards to people's musical tastes. I didn't take too much offense when Brandon Flowers was called a moron, because he doesn't make it easier for himself the way he dresses, and quite frankly the Pet Shop Boys are color-blind...but still, anyone has a right to get a little miffed if that's an artist they really love. So I apologize to anyone I may have hurt by my complete non-interest in Lady Gaga's musical output. I will try to be more sensitive in the future.
