Interpol

First time seeing Interpol live. It was a fantastic concert, and I loved every minute of it. The concert was split into two parts, featuring both the Turn on the Bright Lights and Antics albums—a nice celebration of the 20th anniversary of both LPs. Paul and the band gave outstanding performances. It was also my first time at the venue, Audio. The space is excellent, and the acoustics from where I was standing were awesome. The biggest problem for me was the waiting line, which lasted more than 5 hours. By the time the concert started, my legs and feet were destroyed. The early birds are to blame for this: there’s no need to form a waiting line at 8 am for a concert that starts at 9 pm. My plan was to get there at 8:30 pm, but I had to go much earlier to meet my friend, which I regretted. It was a small, more intimate concert. Everyone there had a great viewing experience, regardless of whether they waited 30 minutes or 13 hours in line.

From start to finish they slayed. Paul Banks is the consummate front man. He oozes legit coolness. Frankly, so do all the band members, especially bassist, Carlos Denglet. These guys look like could they go from stage, immediately to an album shoot. I digress. They play their songs as if they were just created. They’re so alive, both visceral and intellectual. The vocals and instruments blend perfectly and flow right into your being. They move you. You become apart of them. And, they’re fun to sing along and jump around to with everyone else around you, infectiously following suite. Thank you Interpol. I cannot wait to see you again.

Awesome band! Interpol has been a longtime favorite but this was first time seeing them live. Venue was OK but not super complimentary w/acoustics, the vocals didn’t come through well (my friend & I are challenged & decided to watch from the stairs ). Definitely hoping for another opportunity to see them play again (which I’ll stay put on the floor!)

So sad not to see Sam on drums and wish him a speedy recovery after his surgery, but seeing Daniel and Paul in Tokyo was so special. It looked like they were genuinely having so much fun on the stage! I was lucky enough to see the original 4 in the 2000s and these two legends have only increased in presence and style. The assisting musicians were flawless. Paul's voice sublime. Daniel's guitar commanding. The audience was elated! So cool!

2nd time seeing them and glad they played obstacle 1 this time! They sound so good live! Wish I got to see them with Carlos on bass and this time same was not playing drums either but the setlist was really good. I felt like I got lost when they played Narc in the best way😵‍💫👽

Lucky we are to get to hear live album ANTICS 🔥 in such a beautiful place 👌 They were great even if Paul kept his sunglasses during all the gig. He got an adorable accent when he talks in French 😍 Toni in live is amazing. I prefer new Interpol tracks in live than on the album 😎

This Interpol show was one of the best that I've experienced in the past few years. Song selection was ideal. Acoustics were amazing. Volume and sound reproduction were perfect and vocals were optimal. In addition to the band, the sound board operator gets a massive thumbs up. Crowd was energetic and appreciative. Vibe was 🔥. Do NOT miss an opportunity to see these guys live.

As always, Interpol put on a stunning show. Such fantastic musicianship and brilliant songs. Their set was far too short as they were opening for Metric. Some might say Metric should have been opening for Interpol... ? It was quite beautiful, the sun setting as they performed. New material sounds wonderful!

This will be my second time seeing Interpol since they last came to Festival Pier in Penn's Landing back for the El Pintor album tour. They had so much energy and all the songs you really felt the emotion behind Paul Banks lyrics, so it was awesome to hear live. The opening acts were my first time seeing perform live though. Matthew Dear was decent and Tycho was a really trippy experience with the visuals and the sounds of his many different beats/tracks. The only issue I had and some attendees as well were the constant flickering of Interpol's light show. I got a headache, so at times I had to look away or just keep my head down due to it. If you're susceptible to seizures then I would cover your eyes since it happened roughly every other song. Other then that I highly recommend seeing them live if you get the chance. It just doest hit the same when you listen to their music on streaming services.

Great performance. High energy! Interpol crushed it with great stage light show and awesome selection. spanning: turn on the bright lights, antics, and yours to adore, as well as a lot of new songs. Closed with slow hands. Tycho was mesmerizing played his hits. a walk, awake a lot of cool guitar backed tracks from Dive. video projection was absolutely bananas.

Best concert i have seen in a very long time. Interpol brought their A game, i was blown away. Great set list. So happy to catch you guys live again. Worth the 4 hour drive. Buying tickets to see you at Vina Robles amphitheater right now. Crazy stoked on the new material! You guys kick so much a$$ worth every minute and every cent!

El mejor concierto del año 2019. Larga espera en la cola desde la mañana, el sol de abril iluminándonos y la expectativa hasta el inicio del concierto. La entrada con Pioneer to the Falls rompió todo y cada vez se volvió hermosamente caótico. Mi recuerdo más vivido y nebuloso a la vez fue cuando llegó "The New". Qué temazo. Desearía volverlos a ver nuevamente, un concierto de primera.

Being a native New Yorker I’ve had the privilege to see them on a number of occasions but by far this was my favorite. From the set list, the venue, musicianship & light design Interpol excelled in their performance. Even if your not a huge fan of theirs, if you want to see a great show & their in your area definitely check them out. Their worth it & if you are a fan of theirs you must experience them live. They covers a wide range of their catalog, so you will not be disappointed in them with their choices of material that they play. Paul Banks voice was haunting to hear. Superb how well it represent well live as it is on the albums but with a intense pulse of it in person. As well as the other members execution of the music. No doubt I’m going to see where they are playing on this tour & if I can make it then definitely I’ll see them again.

The band did really well and the lighting effects were super intricate, I was impressed. Everything was a bit too loud and my ears felt it the following day even though I was really far away in the theater. The vocals were hard to hear as well and the lighting did get a bit too intense in some parts. Overall, a solid show but a tad too intense.

It was not there fault. It was really cold and wet and there should have been one opener. Nothing against them but I was not in a festival mood and by the time one of my favorite bands Interpol went on my ears were tired and I was soaking wet. They brought it but I did not stay for their whole set. Too cold. I’m blessed to have seen them for many years, but bummed their first Red Rocks experience was not like it should have been. I hope they will be invited back because they Interpol are magic. Oi!

Disappointed with the sound quality of the band, but really my disappointment lies with Paul Banks vocals. Muttering, muffled, indiscernible at times. Ive read how his vocal stylings seem to be ever evolving due to age and smoking, but it’s like they over modulated the instruments to drown him out. I’ve been to shows at the Ritz before and I know it’s not their sound system or the venue. Everyone I spoke with that went to the show had a similar response. Many left early. And don’t get me started about the opening act...The overwhelming positive responses sparked me to post this.

Every time I see this band they never disappoint. Great setlist and The Shrine is a great venue. Concert highlights for me were The New, Untitled, Hands Away, Leif Ericsson, Pioneer of the Falls, Not Even Jail, Blue Supreme, and closing with NYC was the cherry on top. A great show.

My 6th time seeing them and they were amazing as always but the P A system wasn't the greatest. The tribble was way to high for them and as well as the opening band Hundred Waters so very hard to understand the lyrics...still miss not seeing Carlos D up there

Fantastic performance! Great opener too, Rey Pila from Mexico City rocked. There were some technical issues setting up, delaying the concert about a half hour, but I don't think anyone really cared. The wait was beyond worth it! I definitely won't hesitate to see them next time they come to Seattle.

This was my fourth time seeing maybe my favorite band, and probably my last. For ever increasing ticket pricing it would be nice to see some of those higher ticket prices translate into better entertainment, like maybe Paul could talk or tell a story. Hell, they could have a more creative backdrop, or cover a song from someone else - just something unexpected. But, instead it was like going to a very talented kids recital - great music but nothing unexpected.
