The Killers Pay Tribute To The Beatles By Covering “I Want To Hold Your Hand” In Forest Hills, New York

During the first show of the Killers two-night stand at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York, on Saturday night (September 14), the Vegas group honored another famous band that played the same venue almost exactly 60 years earlier. “Some of you might know the history of the place,” frontman Brandon Flowers told the crowd. “In 1964, 60 years ago, the Beatles did two nights here at Forest Hills. We thought that we would pay our respects. I don’t think there’s a person here that wasn’t influenced by them in some way or another. Here you go.”

The Killers then played a spirited rendition of the Beatles first American Billboard No.1 hit, “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” which topped the charts in 1964, the same year the Fab Four played Forrest Hills on August 28 and 29,. This wasn’t the first time that the Killers had covered the Beatles, playing live renditions of “Helter Skelter,” “Get Back,” “In My Life,” “Michelle,” and “When I’m Sixty-Four” in their past sets.
