Well, I guess they did play back in 2006 for their Antics tour, but I didn't get to see them on that tour. So for me, it has been 6 long years of waiting in anticipation to see this amazingly talented band take the stage in support of their new self-titled album.
The show will take place at the Verizon Wireless Theater, a venue where I've had the chance to see some of the greatest shows including Blondie, The Pretenders and Duran Duran. Tongiht's show will surely not disappoint. We have general admission tickets and I hope to get as close to the stage as possible to snap some great photos and take in the energy of Paul Banks, Daniel Kessler & Sam Fogarino. Although, I'm sad that former bass player Carlos D. will not be in attendance. He left the band upon the completion of the last album to pursue other opportunities. Still, from all of the live footage I've seen so far from this tour, the band seems to be putting on a killer show and Banks' vocals sound as top-notch as they do on any CD they've released.
Setlist should include some old favorites like "Not Even Jail", "PDA" & "NYC" as well as some new loves of mine from the latest album like "Summer Well" and "Barricade". I hope they play "Obstacle 1", the song that started my love affair and obsession with the band.
So, in roughly 12 hours, the boys will take the stage. What a great start to the weekend. I will get my review up as quickly as possible. Here's to a great night! Yay Interpol!
