In July 2005, The Killers performed at Live 8 in London, a significant event aimed at raising awareness and funds to combat global poverty. At this juncture in their career, The Killers had recently released their second studio album, "Sam's Town," which came out later that year in September. Prior to their Live 8 performance, their debut album, "Hot Fuss," had already garnered critical acclaim and commercial success, featuring hits like "Mr. Brightside" and "Somebody Told Me." The Live 8 gig marked a pivotal moment for the band, putting them in the international spotlight, as the event was watched by an estimated 2 billion people worldwide. This exposure helped solidify The Killers’ status as a leading rock band during the mid-2000s. Their live rendition of "All These Things That I've Done" showcased not only their energetic performance style but also highlighted the band's commitment to social issues, aligning their music with a larger cause.
