Killers at Abbey Road Doing Dire Straits' Romeo and Juliet

submitted by lucky760

This is The Killers live at Abbey Road. It begins with a short intro of the band discussing their love of Dire Straits and why they decided to cover this song, then leads into their excellent performance. Very nice.

Here is the original by Dire Straits.

Random note: Brandon Flowers says "sang the streets a serenade" instead of the original "sings a street suss serenade."

This is great, but Mark's voice fit it better; more gritty.
