I've seen Interpol twice in their post-Carlos era, and they put on great shows. But if I could get a time machine to seeing the original lineup, I'd be so happy. There's something so pure about their early days as a band.
I've heard Interpol live with Carlos D, even at Coachella 2007, where they made everyone who witnessed that set a fan (including me). It was different. Special. Enough to make you know that it would never ever become better. I went to Weenie Roast just for them that same year. Carlos D was everything!
That's something that happens to every band ever. You can only play/ hear/ sing the same songs a thousand times over without burn out and loss of enotion. 90% of the greatest albumns ever made were the first or second for a band

I went to this show, and it was fantastic. I had just gotten wind of this band in a Rolling Stone article and pulled up some songs on the internet, I was hooked on them immediately. Turns out they were coming to Dallas the next week. At Gypsy Tea Room of all places. This chick I new at the Dallas Observer got me VIP tickets, and she was going to go with me but she wasn't all in to this type of music so I went by myself, and wound up sitting in the very tiny VIP section with Carlos D's girlfriend at the time. I wanna say her name was like Baxter or Bailey or something, she had kind of a boy's name. Very, very cool chick, she was telling me things about the band throughout the night. One of the most memorable concerts in my lifetime. It was just pure luck that I caught on at the perfect time to see them live. Gypsy Tea Room was such a great venue. I sure do miss it. You could get right up to the band. And because it was smaller in size the sound just resonated in the entire place. And Interpol that night was everything I expected. I'll Never forget it. I've bought every Interpol piece of music ever since. Still a little pissed at Carlos. We'll never know what could've been. They were so damn good, and still are, but I keep waiting for another TOBL which can't be duplicated, but maybe there's some more magic in Paul and Dan's soul yet to come
It's kind of a balance. You get the best footage by being really annoying and obnoxious when you film (handheld), but you're also a pain in the ass for the other people and it's also harder just being there in the moment for yourself, you kind of miss the moment by filming it. The best solution is probably the venue having 2 cameras in a good position, filming the whole thing. Maybe add in some handheld once in a while if something magical or extraordinary suddenly happens. Every little underground venue should have something like that.
@@bjrnvindabildtrup9337 So the trick is being short, getting to the very front, and using a monopod. That way you're not obstructing anyone else's view.
Specialist and Roland are my favorite two sides of the band. Funny how they became less raw and swinging, and became more plastic on the successive album.

Despite the sound quality this is one of my all time favourite videos of them because I love seeing Paul and Carlos back to back, so in sync the whole time. And then in the whole video my favourite bit is that little bass lick at 24:20. Mwah.
This particular era of Interpol reached some of the greatest heights in Alt/Indie rock. The second part of Stella always kills me. Glad to have recordings like this.
How is TH-cam just gracing my screen with this recommendation now after 12 years of consistent interpol viewing 😮 absolutely buzzing to watch this all, thank you!
Favourite live show by Interpol ever. Carlos back in the day actually seemed to be into it rather than the deadass he eventually became. This was pre nazi, pre Wyatt Earp, when he was at his best. Paul's voice had the full range and was not cracking constantly like it unfortunately does now.
Was at this show! They played in the tiny room if memory serves me well. The place was packed. Had just come home to Dallas from Austin where they were playing the album in a bunch of the cool stores. I didn't wanna go because I was tired, but I'm glad Peter convinced me to go! Bought the album the next day
Aww, that's too bad you couldn't make it at the time, but I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Did you catch any Bright Eyes shows in Deep Ellum in 02-03? I recorded his '03 set at Trees and felt really old (at 24) because they brought the 21+ crowd to the front of the line and there were only like six of us, lol. The rest of the queue was more than a block long...
mogwaifeartexas I knew about that BE show too but my folks at the time made it hard for me to go to shows :'( But I totally feel ya on feeling old at shows, at least y'all got to move to the front! Sweet perk ^__^
Yeah, other than feeling old it wasn't too bad, and we had still had time to pick up crepes from Cafe Brazil down the street... don't know if they're still there, but that and Angry Dog were the best places to eat in Deep Ellum!
@@mogwaifeartexas Happy new year! I didn't get a notification for this but both places are still here and my boyfriend and I definitely love the heck outta Angry Dog ❤ Enjoying this recording in 2019 btw~
@@evie_jn Happy New Year to you as well! Glad to hear Angry Dog is still there... I haven't been to DFW in about 4 years but I still have family in the area so next time I'm there I'll have to hit them up. In May I'm going to see Built to Spill here for their Keep It Like a Secret 20th anniversary tour... saw them play for the first time at Gypsy in 2001, with the Polyphonic Spree as the local opener!
Ah the memories of how great this band really was. So happy I got to see them twice during the TOTBL and Antics eras. Thank you so much in uploading this vid.
March 1st is always an Interpol anniversary for me. 15 years ago I saw them for the first time in Athens, GA at the 40 watt club on this tour 3/1/2003. Thank you for posting!!
This is an absolute gem! I so glad I found this. I got to see them this same year at the Roxy in Atlanta. By far the best early footage I've seen. And so so so much Carlos!!!! This will be my go-to vid when I want to remember how refreshing and raw these guys were.
FFS. @13:30 These guys being so tight live that while their first album is barely out they are crushing a track that isn't even released on the original LP. What a special time in NYC music.
I remember being blown away that a garage band chose this sound in that day and age. I mean who was doing this definitively sparse, grungy (not the genre) stuff then?
I was at this show live. I followed them around & was ecstatic when they joined my fave band on Curiosa. I can’t tell you how special to have this video is -it captures for me that moment in time this band was just magical. Thank you for having the forethought to record this and share it. It really helps transport me back!
Glad you like it! I try to capture every show I record as a time capsule for both those who were there and those who were not. This is one of my all-time favourite concerts and I was fortunate enough to be like just a foot from Carlos for the entire set.
It's funny how someone yelled "album of the year" and it was one of the best albums of the decade.
what minute say this?
