Interpol - Alternate Review, Leeds o2 Academy, 22 March 2011
One thing with Interpol – from the spoils of Colin Meloy’s
inter-song banter, Paul Banks had none. Barely saying a word, Interpol
successfully channelled their idols Joy Division, although no doubt Hooky would
have said more.
Singing, not talking. |
On the plus side, they played ‘Specialist’ the only song
that was introduced as ‘rarely heard live’ echoing both the song and Paul’s
voice. Racing through a back catalogue of hits from Rosemary to C’mere, it was
a decent enough gig and well worth checking out.
Sadly, it was the weakest of
the three gigs in Leeds , proving there is too
much of a good thing when it comes to live music. Expectations can easily soar,
sometimes a little of what you fancy goes a long way.
