The Killers famously took their name from the faux band performing in New Order’s video for the 2001 single “Crystal,” so it was fitting that Bernard Sumner joined the American band onstage Monday night in his hometown of Manchester to perform the track. Check out the performance above (via NME) and re-acquaint yourself with the original video below.

Great stuff.
Brilliant fun. Now, when are Radiohead gonna do likewise and invite Dave Gilmour onstage to do “Wish You Were Here”?…
