BRANDON FLOWERS IN CONCERT:
Whether he's fronting The Killers or getting fans dancing with his synthpop-heavy solo work, Brandon Flowers is a consummate showman renowned for his powerful voice and flawless performances. Even though he packs the arena with tons of glitz, glam, and stunning visual effects, Flowers still forms a sincere connection with his fans on standouts like “Can’t Deny My Love” and “Crossfire” before indulging them with his countless hits from The Killers' catalog. Ticket buyers can’t help but swoon to his confident stage presence as he smoothly navigates the unique twists and turns of his dynamic setlist. With his album The Desired Effect still burning up the charts, Brandon Flowers is touring to bring his dance-worthy live show to cities across North America in 2015.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
The youngest of six children, Brandon Flowers was born in Henderson, NV in 1981. After moving to Las Vegas he answered an ad posted by guitarist Dave Keuning in 2001, and they formed The Killers soon after. The group's 2004 debut Hot Fuss spawned a string of massive hits including “All These Things That I’ve Done”, “Smile Like You Mean It”, and “Mr. Brightside”, and was eventually named one of the "100 Greatest Debut Albums of All Time" by Rolling Stone. International success and critical acclaim followed the band in the ensuing decade with hit albums like Sam’s Town (2006) and Day & Age (2008). Flowers made his solo debut in 2010 with the album Flamingo, which premiered at no. 1 on the UK Albums Chart behind the success of powerhouse single “Crossfire”. Flamingo proved that Flowers had more than enough material to spread between projects, especially when The Killers returned in 2012 with the hit album Battle Born. His sophomore solo effort The Desired Effect arrived in 2015, once again reaching the top spot in the UK. Brandon Flowers’ live shows continue to reach new heights of sophistication and sheen, even as he maintains an intimate connection with his fans thanks to his passionate and powerful songs.
Encore
He brought tons of energy and life to his songs. He's an incredible performer and there wasn't a dull moment after he came on. Most of the songs he played were from his new album but he also brought back some stuff from the Killers and his first album.
Great venue, super nice staff, great opening band and of course Brandon flowers was amazing.
The Brandon Flowers concert at 'The National' was absolutely terrific! When he first comes onstage, you know it's going to be a great show with all of the electricity he creates. He relates so well to the audience and includes them throughout the show. He combines songs from 'The Killers' and his past solo album 'Flamingo' in with songs from 'The Desired Effect'. I would definitely recommend his show to anyone b/c it is just truly amazing!
He is amazing and the show was great ! Highly recommended
Brandon Flowers is a showman, hands down. My wife and I catch him or the killers anytime they are close. Great show!
I love Brandon Flowers but this was kinda sucky because the electricity went out so we had to wait around an hour. The music sounds just as food in person which is awesome but he didn't do an encore. When bands don't do an encore I find it very rude. Like they thing they're better. Also I don't think it will hurt for an artist to sign some CDs or something. It cost 175$ for a meet and greet. Give me a break, I would never pay that much to meet anyone. I should meet ur fans. Without fans u are just another person in the world. Remember that and do meet and greets for free...def do an encore, after all we waited in the dark an hour. Peace
Great setlist with a mix of solo and Killers songs. He was extremely engaging with the audience and seemed like he was really enjoying himself. The crowd was as well.
He is an unreal performer. If you have a chance to see him, DO IT
Brandon Flowers was amazing! Loved watching him perform, and he sounds just as good live as he does on recording. He is a very entertaining, and energetic performer. I do wish he sang all the songs off of the Desired Effect, but that's alright (he did do some songs from Flamingo, and from the Killers). There was a power outage, but that was not their fault. The show was going to continue, it just took longer to set up for. Then the power came back on so they had to reset the stage again. I think the stage crew deserved a round of applause, or at least a beer. Brandon Flowers was on his A game though. I will definitely see him perform again!
Brandons show was great. He played some oldies which was fun. The opening band was a hot mess. Each of the EIGHT songs sounded the same. Yes. The opening act ran for a half hour. It was the worst. It actually put a damper on the show.
Brandon was amazing! Perfect song selection, sprinkling in 3 Killers songs (an amazing totally different rendition of Jenny Was A Friend of Mine, Human and Can You Read My Mind), but he really blew away the crowd with his solo work singing all of the Desired Effect and sprinkling in songs from Flamingo. High energy, great small venue, great crowd, family safe show, great conversation with the audience and it doesn't hurt that I have a HUGE crush on the man. He is amazing. Such a showman. I'll never miss him live again. I do know that it was announced that he's cancelled the rest of his tour indefinitely. I hope it's nothing too serious, but I'm afraid it's family related. Love and light to Brandon and family.
This was my second time seeing Brandon live and it was just as great (if not better) as the first time! He's a fantastic artist and you can tell he genuinely loves putting on the shows. He also talks to the crowd and tells stories of songs which makes the whole experience just that little bit more amazing. He incorporates some Killers songs into the set too, which the crowd really loves. He went on a bit later than scheduled due to a power outage at the venue during the opener, but it was well worth the wait. It was definitely an amazing concert and I'd recommend everyone to go see him live. Even though I had seen Brandon play at HOB Cleveland only a week and a half earlier, it didn't feel like I was going to to see the same show again, and overall it was a fantastic concert! I'll definitely be going to another show in the future!
Brandon Flowers is awesome. He sang a lot from the new album and a couple of Killers tunes. Also a couple of great covers. I like that he interacted a lot with the audience and seemed like a stand up guy in addition to a great singer/songwriter. I found it funny that the t shirts were 30 which was 5 bucks over the actual ticket. But I bought one anyway.
Brandon's voice and song writing just keeps getting better and better! He is great on stage and loves audience participation. He is all about the music and his passion really shows thru.
This is my sixth time seeing Brandon perform live (the other five times were with The Killers). Obviously, being a Killers mega-fan for 11 years makes me a little biased, but Brandon's energy and enthusiasm when he sings is completely contagious! He really gets the crowd going. He is funny, charming, and an all around great guy. After the show, he even let some of us on his tour bus to take pics and get autographs. It's a night I will never forget. My best friend came with me and she didn't know any of his songs, but she still had a great time as well!
Brandon was so amazing! I saw him 5 years ago also at the Electric Factory. And he was even better the second time around.
I recently discovered Brandon Flowers, the solo artist, just by seeing his new album cover (Desired Effect) on iTunes. I bought the CD when it first came out and have pretty much been listening to nothing else since. When I saw that he was coming to Cleveland, I purchased a ticket. I already knew that Brandon was instantly a favorite. Desired Effect spoke volumes to me and has become one of my favorite CDs, which is amazing considering my love of music. The concert itself was like a dream - Brandon is the consummate performer - engaging and endearing his audience from the first song to the last. Whether he returns to the Killers, or continues on his solo journey, Brandon has found a new and loyal fan in me. Good luck Brandon - you are a true artist and I hope to see you perform live again soon!
HE SINGS SO AMAZING. LITERALLY BLEW MY MIND AWAY. HE HITS EVERY SINGLE DAMNED NOTE.
I've seen Brandon Flowers more than once, and he consistently ranks amongst the best performers I've seen (including the likes of Springsteen, Clapton, U2, Dave Matthews Band). Each time you watch him, it seems as if he's constantly surprised by and truly grateful for how much his fans enjoy his music, and he seeks to reciprocate by engaging them and putting everything he has into it.
Brandon Flowers sings live as if you are listening to him on your ipod. He picked a thoughtful playlist from flamingo, desired effect and even threw in song throwback killer songs with a twist to them. I loved the show, felt very private at the electric factory. Felt bad the keyboard wouldn't work at the end for only the young but Brandon's strong, clear vocals saved the song! Hope he comes back to Philly in the future.
