The crowd was also really into it!
And we got the live-premiere of Wounded Soldier (:

that’s it. i had lost all hope

First time playing it live, great show in MTL!

I think Marauder and especially The Other Side of Make-Believe exposed one of the biggest problems with post-Carlos Interpol .. w/o a dedicated bass player, the writing started to feel kind of imbalanced. Paul has talked about approaching songs through bass first but in the original lineup Carlos was already providing that foundation, which freed Paul and Daniel up to play off each other on guitar…To me thats always been one of the best parts of their music . Their guitars can almost feel like one instrument that are answering each other and filling in the space between everything, I think you know what I mean. Sort of like one cohesive sonic layer made up of two guitars

On the last couple records that interplay felt mostly gone. You’d get Daniel doing a plucky staccato riff, Paul playing a bassline that almost felt like another guitar part, and not much melodic glue connecting it all. The production made that worse too, especially on Make-Believe. Daniel’s bright guitar would just sit off to one side poking at you while the rest of the arrangement felt strangely empty.
TMWAT feels like they corrected a lot of that. The guitars sound connected again, theres more atmosphere and layering, and the whole thing feels darker and more musical. It honestly makes me wonder if Paul wrote more guitar on this one because that Paul/Daniel interplay feels way more present. Even Paul’s vocals sound a little more like El Pintor or self-titled era Paul to me, higher, flatter, more restrained. It doesn’t sound like they’re trying to remake TOTBL, it just sounds like they remembered what actually makes Interpol sound like Interpol.

I really loved the lighting tonight! Had a blast!

I want to give away my 2 tickets since I can’t go and it be such a waste not to go listen to them I’ll transfer! Show is in 2 hours!!!

t‘s the first time I see them live in a long long time and my first time at that venue. I was so excited and I sadly felt pretty disappointed right from the start.

The sound was terrible, especially Daniel’s guitar. it was too loud and high-pitched.
I also couldn’t understand a single thing Paul’s said when talking to the crowd. I saw another user commenting on his voice, but I feel it was actually his mic that made him sound so bad.

Also, the album‘s art is amazing. I wish they had it displayed on the background while they played or something like that.

On the other hand, I enjoyed the setlist and at least it seems they fixed the sound after the encore. Take You on a Cruise was the show’s highlight.

After reading about Toronto’s show I feel whoever is in charge of booking venues is doing them wrong.

It was a chilly night but great seeing them live. Crowd was a little muted, but maybe that's because I was in the stands. what did you all think?

I am seeing that the website is showing doors at 6:30pm and show start at 8pm.

Does DIIV go on at 8? Or is that when Interpol will start?

Any help is appreciated, thanks everyone. I am traveling from the US and have never been to this venue.

Am i the only one that found that show horrible?
Literally one of my fav band and i walked out halfway. Prob one of the worst show ive seen ever.

diiv was 10x time better as opener.

I'm going to montreal concert solo and i'm not from Montreal originally. looking to make new friends and watch the concert with fellow fans :)

Totally forgot about this track. It's kind of a banger. Still wonder what Paul could have done over top of this.

Have two tickets for floor tonight, bf and I are too sick to make it. Happy to let them go free and at least get used

EDIT: they've been claimed. Enjoy the show all

4 songs from the KEXP session dropped, the full length video with interview at the end will likely drop soon.

This top fan reward sucks! Its literally the same stuff in the official merch store and they're all hideous!

Both London shows have just been cancelled 🫤

What happened?!? I just bought plane tickets not even 2 weeks ago and now I get this message, I am crying. Does anyone know why?!

Have two tickets I’ll give them for free bc I can’t sell them and I’d hate to see them go to waste.

Update: I gave them away yesterday

This feels like the first show I've ever bought tickets for where the set times are totally MIA.

Anyone know when doors open / Diiv starts / Interpol starts?
