Spin's 30 Biggest Concerts of 2009

December 17, 2009

The Killers come in at #3 on Spin's 30 Biggest Concerts of 2009 for their January 19 show at Magness Arena in Denver, CO.

Supporting their SPIN-approved new album Day and Age, the Vegas foursome opened their U.S. tour by flaunting their extravagant side with a massive curtain of lights, bubbles, and display screens. "The production quality of the show was top notch, and it was immediately clear why the Killers are on the arena circuit," wrote SPIN's Tim Dwenger.

    I'm pretty much 3000% positive that the Killers were in Minnesota on January 19th.

    They did not get 2nd or 3rd as much as i would have liked to see them ranked this high. The concerts listed are in order by date.

    I agree The Killers should be on this list but Spin, like RS, put out a terrible list. Jay Z revolutionized a Rap concert (live band and never before seen lighting) on his Blueprint 3 tour this past fall, Coldplay did a massive world tour while promoting one of the greatest CD's of the decade, and lastly, did everyone forget about U2? $40 million stage people. The biggest, most expensive one ever created. They sold out every stadium they played.

    No surprises here!! I'd seriously question their judgement if TK were omitted or placed lower. Their live shows are transformative, beyond amazing, a near-religious experience, awesome, incredible, fabulous...I've heard so many different adjectives and I agree with them all. ;) I appreciate all the hard to work to bring these amazing live shows on the road! XOXO

    I agree; nothing compares to the the Killers live experience. It brings the music to a whole new level. This is so well deserved and it is fantastic to see all the recognition the boys are getting this year.

    Psht! Of course! Their concerts are beyond EPIC! I'm not even exagerating, their perfomances, not to sound like too much of a fanatic, are almost like a religious experience. I'm happy they realized that :D
