Live from the Royal Albert Hall is a live video and audio release by American rock band the Killers, released on November 9, 2009, by Island Records. The video is pulled from two nights the band performed at the Royal Albert Hall in July 2009, and also includes footage from festival dates the band headlined during the middle months of 2009. A CD of live material accompanies the DVD as part of the package. The artwork resembles the artwork for the band's third studio album, Day & Age, and was designed by artist Paul Normansell.
Brandon Flowers said the decision to film the band's first live DVD at the Royal Albert Hall was because "LondonâÂÂs always been very good to us. They opened their arms to us before anybody else did. And Royal Albert Hall is a very iconic and special place. I grew up watching Morrissey videos that he had filmed there. So it was really exciting to be a part of it."
Live from the Royal Albert Hall was nominated for Best DVD at the 2010 NME Awards.
Critical response to Live from the Royal Albert Hall was positive. Eric Stromsvold of Starpulse said the release was "quite possibly the best live album and video since Elvis and his 'Aloha From Hawaii' some 36 years ago. It's nothing less than rock and roll at its greatest." Barry Walters of Rolling Stone wrote that "Brandon Flowers doesn't sing: he testifies." Entertainment Weekly included the DVD on its "Must List", remarking, "When Brandon Flowers et al. explode into closing number 'When You Were Young,' and the fans start to sing (and then jump) along, it's a wonder those 138-year-old walls stay standing."
Live from the Royal Albert Hall was the fourth best-selling music DVD of 2009 in the United Kingdom, selling 83,965 copies in the seven weeks following its release.
The Killers announced that they would be offering exclusive limited-edition packages for the album.
