This version, or outro should 100% have been on the album. Like an 8min champagne supernova

[@a.m11558]

Yeah I get the feeling they started doing these extended outros live because they realised people weren't exactly excited over the newer songs Don't get me wrong I love The Car but the studio versions are not great concert songs, they had to spice them up

[@adrianneguraa]

def will be in the next live album

[@aunthaumv3711]

I highly agree. Heck i wouldnt mind even if it was 8 mins long. For an album that was a snoozfest for the most part this song really stands out and actually wasnt even shown to its full potential in the album!

[@RealJoseph123]

Minus the annoying flute in the background…

yea, this gives me vibes of Champagne Supernova Live at Knebworth

[@dylanhughes2370]

Drums haven't been good moon, Bonham or peart, grohl is vastly overrated

[@benmurray3995]

Can’t believe some people hated on this performance because he doesn’t sing the songs like he’s 20 anymore, it’s called evolving as an artist and I thought it was brilliant.

[@jethwa10]

@@PlatfootNL I think its fine we hear both. But ideally they shouldn't be performing the old tunes in this new era style. But thats just my opinion, without a doubt they're still one of the best bands this country has to offer.

[@jphw854]

my issue is that he just hasnt ever been a good singer, and whilst he’s improved since their earlier albums, he is punching way to high for either his skill or simply what his voice is capable of in these newer songs. basically my problem is that technically his voice is flawed and sounds super off to me and in their older music it wasn’t as present as he didn’t over exert his voice to the same degree.

Man, I don’t care what anybody says, I went there thinking they had lost their way and was relying on nostalgia, but after this set, I get it. Whole performance was absolutely phenomenal, especially the change in tempo and the transitions between the old tunes and the new ones. I felt like they slowed down so we could catch up. Some got it, some didn’t, I for one am in love with them again ❤

[@armoricank9978]

100% agree Same for me after their Arsenal Stadium gigs

[@charlotter-d1866]

Alex is so dedicated to his work. It's admirable and inspiring to witness his strength and how much he honors his fans. And that's why I'm one of them!

[@danielhayes8348]

And yet cancelled his previous show in Dublin, but played Glastonbury like 4 days later, was going to be my first big concert 😂

[@BiancaSanches_]

​ @danielhayes8348 I'm so sorry for you guys and understand how you feel...I felt like that when I waited with a huge group of fans in front of the hotel The Killers were staying and the guys left in front of the group without saying even hello..even though we waited for hours out in the sun..and a few hours later they posted on insta stories many pictures in the pool of another hotel in a city that was just a few miles from mine (which shows they weren't busy with another concert or event but simply wanted to leave and ignored us). And that's why I can imagine how you guys feel but still think Alex was strong and tried his best to honor his fans in a way that was certainly not polite with you guys,but I bet he tried to avoid that!! And I recognized his strength for literally performing to the best of his capacities just a few days later. He has been fully present in so many concerts since last year and I cannot even imagine the impact all of that has on a person and how much it may contribute to not just his laryngitis but also extreme fatigue from not having any rest. Not to mention how much they would have to pay in case they breach the Glastonbury contract which of course is so much more than any other concert they have booked. It was certainly a strategic matter. But in the final analysis, Alex does care for you guys!!
