The Killers - Dec. 12 - San Francisco - Warfield special makeup show, small venue, pretour gig, the band was on top of their game and Brandon Flowers was all smiles. they played a very solid show, in my top 3 Killers live shows (seen them 8 times). Oasis - Dec. 3 - Oakland - Oracle Arena Liam's voice was a lot stronger than on the previous tour, they played a great set as always, helped by the awesome songs from their new album "Dig Out Your Soul", I liked when Noel referenced back to their 1997 show in Oakland when they opened for U2, he asked if anyone was at that show, and I cheered, I was at that U2 PopMart show 11 years ago which was my first concert ever (i was 11 years old).
