Following an epic show at London’s Royal Albert Hall last week, The Killers ’ frontman brought the run of UK shows to Bristol’s Beacon Hall on Saturday (October 17).

As seen in the previous shows, the frontman kicked things off with lively tracks ‘The Red Ground’ and ‘Does It Ever Cross Your Mind?’, before launching into his 2010 solo track ‘Crossfire’.

Other songs on the setlist included cuts from the new album like ‘Tiger’s Blood’, ‘Miss America’ and ‘Still Want You’, as well as a handful of Killers songs including ‘ Pressure Machine ‘ track ‘In The Car Outside’ and ‘Sam’s Town’ classic ‘Read My Mind’.

Unlike at previous shows, however, the set in Bristol saw Flowers take on a cover of The Coral’s 2002 song ‘Dreaming Of You’ – putting a country tinge on the indie classic, performing it alongside his solo band and two female backing singers.

The set also featured the debut performance of a currently unreleased track called ‘A Good Man Is Hard To Find’.

Backed by a simple green light, the song opened with stripped-back, stirring instrumentals, and saw Flowers sing about the determination not to lose faith in love, even when times are tough.

“ Led through the desert by the deaf and the blind/ Now she’s battered and bruised, ” he sings in the opening verse, as a harmonica melody sits alongside his vocals.

“ She’ll take you through heaven and you’ll put her through hell/ But she won’t turn back on love/ Just presses on forward through canyons of fire/ She somehow rises above.” The track maintains that slow, tender sound throughout, but picks up around the chorus, as he belts out: “ She can change her number, she can change her mind/ But a good man is hard to find ”.
