Reaction To The Killers "Mr. Brightside" AMAZING CROWD - Glasgow 2018 (TRNSMT Festival)

[@stevenmaritz2684]

Mr Brightside has been on the United Kingdom's Top 100 Singles chart for 7 and a half years and going strong!

[@StevenDavisonYT]

Mr. Brightside is like the UK national anthem, it's crazy over here. The Killers are literally the most british non-british band I've ever seen. To the point where it was only about 4-5 years ago I learned they were American.

[@MP-od1zz]

I think this song is STILL on the UK top 100 music charts, even though the song came out in 2004

[@marieaug9322]

Me? 2 years ago. I was turned onto them by Cameron Diaz in the movie The Holiday!

[@rixsist7048]

So many people thought they were a British band (me included)

[@Straw_to_my_berry]

Dude... this is my favorite song since when it come out, everything about this song, the video... I love. I definitely born in the wrong country. 😭

[@gareginasatryan6761]

Probably because it follows the feel of the anthemic 9th symphony

[@KendallSeabury]

This is probably the best example of crowd singing. Everyone at the top of their lungs.

[@Br0nto5aurus]

Another excellent example is the crowd at a Critical Role panel at a convention singing the season 2 theme song. The crowd splits into a three part harmony.

[@saoirse6872]

This song means life to me! Mr Brightside means so much to the peeps in 🇬🇧 UK!! This is the longest-charting single on the UK Singles Chart Top 100, having spent 365 weeks (7 years) on the chart as of June 10, 2023 and is the most streamed track released prior to 2010. ✨✨💖🙌✌️ great reaction 👯‍♀️💃🏻✨I’ve seen the Killers 4 times Now in the UK! They always put on Amazing show!! us Brits have stole this song as ours ! 😂✨✨💖

[@brandonsimmons1695]

Hell, I’m American and I’m starting to consider them a British band 😂

[@roblespsyc]

This entire concert is incredible, especially when Tony plays the drum in "For reasons unknown", this concert was a Masterpiece. Scots rule.

[@MrMattydogz]

I just checked as of today 25/03/2024 Mr Brightside is 65th in the UK singles chart and has been in the chart for 402 weeks straight! it first charted in 2004 but this latest run in the charts started back in 2016 when the song just popped back in and hasn't left and is still going strong. may it continue 🤘🖤

[@ronparsons8786]

This is just a perfect pop rock song. Immaculate. I've seen the killers live several times in the past 20 years, most recently festival in 2017. To everyone's surprise and delight, they actually opened up their set with this song, which is usually one of their closers. Everyone including me went absolutely bonkers

[@bobarina]

I was born in Glasgow and I've lived here my whole life. There's no crowd like a Glasgow crowd, honestly.

[@Matt-mu1mg]

Manchester crowds

[@mcguigance]

I would argue Belfast also 😂😂 though with this song it Goulding be anywhere

[@mattemmett8805]

Yeah, Yeah "mine's better than yours" stuff is so childish, honestly just enjoy the event. The crowd was loving it, who cares it happened to be held in a Glasgow. (Hey, perhaps, just perhaps, some people singing along were not even from Glasgow?!)

[@THQMAS]

London crowds

[@simsimme1799]

brazilian crowds

[@lomayagi]

The Crowd.... with sing along by The Killers ❤️

[@ianoo23]

This is an Anthem in the UK 👏🏻👍

[@stuartcarden1371]

This song got into the soul of an entire generation of Brits in a way that few other songs have.

[@ewandavidson6603]

Across the U.K. in and pub or club it is mandatory that Mr Brightside becomes a song-along. Add in that Glasgow is home to one of the greatest crowds in the world any band could ever wish to play and you get that. ❤

[@djseriouslee]

At this point Mr Brightside really needs to our national anthem lol

[@pb4ugo2bed84]

The LGTBQ Crowd Would Sue If That Happened

[@spotifypremium0]

@@pb4ugo2bed84shut up man, everybody loves this song EVERYBODY

[@ProducerJames91]

I love how it was just the soft instrument verse until verse 2, and even when the arrangement was softer, the audience was almost loud enough to drown out the lead singer. LOL This speaks to the longevity of the song.....came out in the early 2000's and still is a top-selling song, that FILLS venues. That place was FULL....Standing room ONLY.

[@JulieLevinge]

Imagine having a crowd sing your song back to you like that👍❤️👍❤️

[@martinmillar7137]

Lead singer was dressed to floor folk and ended up being floored... And he loved it and appreciated it... That's why his band rocks man ❤

[@martinmillar7137]

No ego... ❤

[@craigjeffery2661]

As a Brit this is like a National Anthem, The reason you get these kind of crowds in the UK is because of Pubs, That’s our practice sessions 😂 so when you get a gig or festival this is the result.

[@kij100]

He looks genuinely in awe of the crowd.

[@pb4ugo2bed84]

He looks genuinely in awe of the crowd.

[@MP-od1zz]

Mr Brightside by the UK fans featuring The Killers

[@zoomy64]

😂😂

[@odourlessstar136]

Glasgow have the best crowds going 🤘🤘🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@BitWrecker]

That's one of the best crowd to singer interactions I've ever seen.

[@martinmillar7137]

Transmt is one of my fav festivals because of the energy.. bands must love it. It's unique

[@22RosesGrow]

Thank you for sharing this cool performance,and that's an outstanding crowd performance. I was not aware that the Mr. Brightside video was loosely based on The Moulin Rouge until a informational video clip recently popped up in my feed. That was a creative idea on Flowers part, to fuse his personal experience with the character in the Moulin Rouge's experience. I love that movie,and the soundtrack.The crews usage of color, the stage sets,and the story line, the music performance combined made for a cerebral masterpiece didn't it? Everything pulled together to pull at your heartstrings.🎉 If you haven't yet seen The Moulin Rouge, check it out. The song, Mr. Brightside is a song most people can relate to at some point in their lives for a variety of reasons or situations. Thank you for covering.

[@chunderbill]

Ooh I was part of that amazing crowd. Was never a big fan of the killers.. But they were fantastic

[@Harry-sp3fz]

The people from Glasgow can fucking sing. Just see their football matches.

[@woodyheywood8792]

So freaking great!!!!! Tanks a million

[@esshaje9945]

i (from the uk) saw this song live, not this performance but at reading 2023. possibly the greatest song ive ever seen live, has to be up there. i was so tired but all my energy came back to absolutely scream this anthem and have a blast

[@francislester6327]

We are of course the best crowd in the world for live performances going way back to the days of the Apollo in Glasgow. ask any major artists who is the best crowd live and they will tell you Glasgow, Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻🎸🎸

[@elspeff]

Cheers for the nod to the Apollo!!

[@tashrif46]

All These Things I've Done from TRNSMT 2018 was legendary as well.

[@emilyhutchens3682]

When you were Young during that concert gives me so many goosebumps. That whole concert is amazing.

[@tashrif46]

Between the Stereophonics, Liam Gallagher and The Killers, it was a great concert to be at. The crowd in Glasgow, Scotland makes it so legendary.

[@stevecureton9825]

How could you not have fun in that crowd? Literally impossible!!

[@davidscullion5636]

See you cannot beat a Scottish crowd i was there it honestly brings tears to my eyes every time i rewatch it ❤

[@TinjaniRayaick]

Our crowds are next level 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@martinmillar7137]

Mad i actually thought the killers wer a UK band..not American...fuk even celtic fc had one of their songs as a goal celebration...speaks to their talent... Like we absolutely took em to to heart here..and in general... ❤ This was quite epic...no less than they deserve tbh

[@tdurb0]

The Killers are a British band that were accidentally born in the wrong country. Brandon Flowers: totally British in every way

[@thescotlandeffect3454]

We did the same with Prince when he played in Glasgow in 1992, he was very taken a back and said I could just leave you with the band and come back when you're done. Glasgow has the best crowd ever.

[@donna25871]

I just checked today (10/05/2024) and Mr Brightside is No. 50 on the Australian ARIA singles chart.

[@davidtheroux7806]

Have you guys ever seen the video of a crowd at a Green Day concert singing bohemian rhapsody before the actual concert? That's another example of an amazing crowd and it gives me goosebumps when I watch it.

[@judiharris8796]

Love it! I think it even beats the crowd at Wacken when Blind Guardian did The Baird's Song!

[@martinmillar7137]

They will talk about this in their memoirs ❤🎉 absolutely incredible scenes.. band handled it so well tae... Let it all flow.. beautiful moment between fans and act.. 🎉

[@charlesbruce9674]

Freaking amazing that a band fae Las Vegas writes the unofficial national anthem of Scotland!!! Everyone over here knows the lyrics off by heart.

[@andrewmay1299]

I think Britain, rather than Scotland?

[@JulieLevinge]

This man is easily the most loved American in UK❤️🥰❤️👍

[@davidkane1658]

You just can't beat this video... Scotland rules

[@ianbhoy1888]

I love Glasgow ..............Celtic

[@niknax25]

The crowd should gn tour lol Makes me Proud to be Scottish

[@omgwerockhard]

If it was me and 100k singing my song like that i break down at the stage crying

[@martinmillar7137]

Killers always said glasgow was their fav city to perform 🎉 i use their music as my fifa goal song ha 😂 love em

[@martinmillar7137]

No one on this earth will ever be as passionate as scots.... 🎉 I can't speak for anyone.......this does it fo me... ❤🎉

[@marcuscarbonieri5433]

AMAZING!!!

[@leesmith4028]

Wow❤❤❤❤

[@Br0nto5aurus]

Another excellent example of crowd participation is the crowd at a Critical Role panel at a convention singing the season 2 theme song. The crowd splits into a three part harmony.

[@martinmillar7137]

Joy...❤ Thats the only word.. such a deep song but joy screams out

[@martinmillar7137]

Incredible ❤🎉

[@ShawnTylerMusic]

Oasis don’t look back in anger (Argentina 2009) has an insane crowd.

[@johnmcaree7298]

that was for a specific concert. This was a festival, not a Killers- specific gig.

[@tracymuckle8512]

Brandon Flowers has said many times that Scotland is his favourite place to perform because of the audience

[@martinmillar7137]

Katie is goat ❤ keep reacting to what she says man..shes a boss and i bow down 🎉❤ 💪

[@gringlebandersnatch]

Pretty sure more people know the lyrics to this song than god save the king over here. Its basically Britain's song

[@lucilovecraft1621]

I was at this gig , amazing

[@stephensmith3316]

You will never beat a Scottish crowd at a concert, we always deliver

[@lewistravel1]

Remember this isn’t a killers concert! It was a festival

[@madpaduk]

Just came to say the same thing, so many people see this and assume everyone in the crowd is a die hard killers fan waiting for this song. Nope, just a British crowd doing its thing. (Yes I know this particular crowd is in Scotland but the same thing happens at Reading or Glastonbury)

[@nickmaguire4914]

AFL Grand Final 2017. Richmond win and Tigers legend Jack Riewoldt sings this on stage with them still in his footy gear! Forever the 2 are linked.

[@martinmillar7137]

Katie was right to ask for this... A hink am in love with her 😂😂😂🎉 shes awesome... Keep reacting to her suggestions..will never go astray 🎉 fucking yeeeeeees

[@brandonsimmons1695]

This song is timeless. Both verses are the same.

[@4390hoover]

Just a normal Saturday night in Glasgow

[@peterfhere9461]

Instant dance floor filler at any disco in the UK!

[@martinmillar7137]

Katie knows her stuff ❤

[@dimetime35c]

If your amazed at this you should hear when the big house in Michigan sings this song.

[@stevesmith1456]

Nothing beats a Glasgow crows! You should react to Travis at the same festival

[@JulieLevinge]

Lead singer was dumped at 19 his first 💔 song is brilliant 🤩 ✊❤️

[@cwingnam]

You dont need to prepare for this song, its in every club, dance floor, party, etc. in the UK.

[@bexw8330]

The whole point of a concert is you lose yourself and your voice. It makes me so sad that this isn't normal! It's the BEST feeling in the world!

[@coybig6731]

You guy’s really need to react to Gerry Cinnamon at Hampden. ‘Canter’ preferably!

[@chasegriffin91]

This is the "Mr Brightside" (Jacques Lu Cont's Thin White Duke Remix. This track is on their album Sawdust. It came out not long before my prom. Jesus! This brings back memories!! 😢

[@joshdias4966]

Just be clear every English school would have morning "assemblies" which in essence was basically school wide choir practice. In the UK this song spent 408 weeks which is almost 8 years in our top 100 singles chart. Singing Mr Brightside is light work 😂

[@joshdias4966]

Also this song is the highest streamed Spotify song in the country for the last 15 years 😅

[@PhilLewis-xg7iv]

if you want the best crowd reaction to this song, you need to watch their glastonbury performance. the one in the big tent.

[@cathiecraig5730]

Scots do it the best

[@Giggirl]

Brits love to sing ❤🎶

[@jacquelinemcgraw6213]

Every performer loves a Scottish audience.

[@timbot5875]

I was at this, wild show.

[@martinmillar7137]

Same concert as gerry... Massive deal in Scotland is the transmt festival ❤

[@BaeHit]

Nah I swear that that caused so many people to do noise complaints due to how loud it got

[@MMusic2023]

Loved this reaction!!! Anymore Muse coming soon?

[@dalj4362]

If you like this, you should check out. Green day crowd sining Bohemian Rhapsody live in Hyde Park.

[@yossal2608]

This response from the crowds' response was great, but watch Glastonbury 2019 I think that was even better

[@cediemina4528]

2019 I agree

[@KendallSeabury]

This years is pretty epic too.

[@coybig6731]

Eh! No!

[@Tohtorismi]

I believe u guys gonna liked a lot some finnish band and songs, from 69eyes. Songs like d’amore and lost boys are sooooo good!! Plz react for this band🎶😎🤘

[@pbg0301]

My son was there and he was on a high for a long time.

[@martinmillar7137]

Am actually super proud to be Scottish..because i truly believe we are the only country in the entire world who will react accordingly..if a band slays here..then they have the seal of Scotland... If not..well...

[@macca0419]

In the UK more people know the words to Mr Brightside than God save the king.

[@stephaniewirth505]

His Freddy moment❤

[@Scruffygreensweatshirt]

Ive followed you two for years. I'm from the UK, Nottingham. Ozzy, maiden, sabbath, oasis, pulp,maiden, stones, Would you listen to prodjody?

[@downroute9]

2018 and barely a phone in sight. The whole crowd is in the moment…heck they’re all in the band!

[@BrianMac2601]

You can't beat a Scottish crowd 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@martinmillar7137]

In terms of a scots crowd..i think its pretty simple tbh...we just appreciate good music and camaraderie

[@stuartclarkson48]

Seen the Killer multiple times live and Brandon Flowers crowd work is unreal and he sounds just like the records and better

[@OneEyedDronie]

Our unofficial National Anthem!

[@zoomy64]

No Scotland No party 🎉😂

[@timothybird4264]

Watch them at Glastonbury and the royal Albert hall as well

[@martinmillar7137]

No idea why a scots crowd is so special .....suppose it just is .. 🎉

[@martinmillar7137]

Am so happy cunts are seeing this..cheers katie.. fkn goat ❤❤😂😂

[@martinmillar7137]

Farts are funny af lets be honest..own em 😂😂😂

[@lorrainewillis6364]

Most Brits know every word and will scream it out at the drop of a hat. Unofficial National Anthem at this point..great stuff
