After the 61 minute feature ended I decided to check on the extras. The supposed ‘hardest Killers quiz in the world’ is hard if you do not watch the entire DVD. The quiz makes me laugh though because if you get a question right a screen pops up saying ”OK” only and if you get an answer incorrect you are rewarded with “WRONG”. I can tell that this was put together incredibly fast. The interactive digital discography was just small words, no pictures, but did list all of their releases. I myself would rather rely on Google.com for that information.
If you are a die hard Killers fan, then The Killers: Leaving Las Vegas is for you. If you are a fan who likes their music and would like to see live footage of them, then I suggest you pass this up because you will not get what you are looking for. With a title like Leaving Las Vegas, I was hoping for more of a video diary of one of their tours. Instead I was provided with a lot of information about the band which I did actually enjoy. Even though the DVD is “Unathorised” by The Killers, I am sure that if you are the least bit interested in their history, you will find some useful information on the DVD.

you have fallen victim to the unauthorized DVD! I have bought a few in the past but learned quickly that if it looks crappy, then avoid it at all cost.

You reveal your ignorance. "Unauthorised" is the way every English speaker on the planet spells "unauthorized," except for in America. Google it to see for yourself

The Diesel review of The Killers “leaving Las Vegas”
I must admit that I am somewhat surprised at the trivialness of the remark use a spell checker, it was mentioned that the DVD was in European format. The word unauthorised is with an “S” in oxford English and with a “z” in American English, not an issue, the language is able to adapt and build on the many diverse English speaking cultures around the world, not all English speakers use the American dictionary, they use there own, i.e. Australian etc, this spelling was with the “s” the word colour and color are the same word, but the American version does not use the “u” .the writer “ diesel” really should think about the English language, its not just the USA version, but sometimes it could well be the original version!
As for the rest of the review, it was ok.

to my knowledge,this is only a copy of the performance that was screened live back in july, as i have recorded the concert myself,but only for private use!
i think it was supposed to be released for public viewing but when i dont know.
i do recommend it highly as in my opinion,it is the best live show the killers have performed apart from the 1st killers concert i attended

"but you would think that one might pay a little closer attention to the front cover especially when most modern day programs have spellcheck installed"
The writer of this review obviously couldn't bother with googling the word for himself, could he? Do some people ever wonder which spelling has survived for centuries and which spelling is a relatively new one used in only one part of the world? Correct, unauthorised is the original, unauthorized is americanised (Note the teeny pun in the context :D) By now with all the rants from furious readers I guess that the author noticed that American English swapped the letter s for z in words that end -ise. It's the same kind of thing with colour/ color, through/ thru etc.
Otherwise it was a decent review. Finding out about facts which could prove to be embarrasing if absent from the reviewers knowledge would've just made it even better.
Peace

Bunch of twats... your ever lengthening diatribes on GB vs US spelling and your sarcastic spell check remarks etc. are all in ignorance of what the author of this post is actually pointing out: the missing 'u' in 'unathorised'...read it again knobs.

Actually, I own this DVD.
It's cheap looking, and "unauthorized" is spelled "unathorised"
the second "u" was missing.
It's a good source of info if you're obsessed with TK. If you aren't, it's not that great.
