This was the loudest performance in Glastonbury history, and you can really feel it even through the video.

That’s insane the loudest !! I’ve been to a few festivals and I remember seeing RHCP live and that was out of this world 90,000 singing a song!!

That's probably like 100.000 singing your song, imagine a million people was there.

[@guaguancos.montunodcubop8923]

Thats funny u say that. U gotta see the Glastonbury 17' i think it was. I used to watch it on tv and would see the people going NUTS!!!!!! No exaggeration they ain't miss one word and they were on shoulders dancing etc. Crazy. Of course thats how it is there with all performances but it was just different with this song. I had never seen it like that before. Pure anthem way of getting down to it. And now i see what u say here and in some other comments here they're saying it IS an anthem for British kids so i guess i wasn't mistaken lol. By the way....why the hell are they not putting those festivals on tv no more?!?!?! I miss it so much. The channel Paladia helped me so much through a dark ass time in my life. Damnit.

[@malcubed2327]

Loudest in Glasto history, and the crowd STILL almost drowns them out in places. What a performance, and what an audience.

I was in Vegas in 2004. Waiting outside a shopping mall as they say! And a local guy heard my northern English accent asked which bands were big in the UK at that moment. I said 'The Killers are doing really well!'. 'Where are they from?' was the reply! True story! 😂

I grew up with the Killers so i know all of their songs off by heart. They are my favourite band. To see them get the longest top chart song in UK history is just amazing. Then watching this again. Oh its literally giving me goosebumps. Looking forward to watching them live at the new Co Op live in Manchester later next month. Oh i really can not wait!!!!

I just love how this song is adored by the band that created it. Many bands out there crank out a song, it becomes popular, and suddenly out of the blue, the song is hated by the very band that created it in the first place. Hats off to The Killers for giving the same love of their own song the same way their fans love it.

[@dyup]

The song is just too awesome

[@shehranazim4784]

If I wrote a fucking Banger like this I'd be playing it on repeat and never get tired of it

[@simongamble1436]

Very true. Fitting in with some of the previous comments about how The Killers are bigger in the UK than the US, Radiohead's Creep was a hit on US college radio before it was a hit in the UK. The band rarely play it live now. The song did a lot to establish the band, but they aren't too keen on it themselves.

[@nicholascauton9648]

Simon Gamble exactly why I consider The Killers to be a far better band than Radiohead. Wouldn’t be surprised if the former is selling out more shows than the latter.

[@Melkac]

@@nicholascauton9648 You consider The Killers to be better because Radiohead's most popular song (a grunge song that doesn't fit their current aesthetic, sound or fanbase in the slightest) is disliked by them...?
