The Killers Pay Tribute to Beatles at Forest Hills

The Killers paid homage to The Beatles during their two-night concert at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York, which coincided with the 60th anniversary of the Beatles' performances at the same venue. Frontman Brandon Flowers highlighted the historical significance, stating that the Beatles played two nights in 1964 and that their influence is ubiquitous. They performed 'I Want to Hold Your Hand,' a track the band had never covered live before, which was part of the Beatles' set during their 1964 shows. The Killers also included their own hits and a cover of Erasure's 'A Little Respect.' The Beatles' connection to the venue is further marked by Bob Dylan's famous visit to them after their first concert, introducing them to marijuana. The concert not only celebrated the past but also showcased the ongoing legacy of the iconic band.
