Isaiah Bryant Concert Review November 18‚ 2012 “P.D.Q. Bach "The Abduction of Figaro” This is a grand opera that begins off initially with laughter.

Killers I watched The Killers in San Diego‚ California. Event was the Wrex the hall 2012 on December 7th. It was my first rock concert I had been too. I have been to reggae‚ rap and a few house dj concerts but never a rock. Definitely a different crowd comes to these events.
