Finally saw them at Alexandra Palace in London, 29 Nov 2007. The venue and audience were pretty shite, but I genuinely believe Interpol are incapable of playing a bad show.

I’d watched countless Youtube videos of previous performances and they were absolutely meant to do this. All the bollocks about them being stiff or distant is a bigger falsehood than saying Lord Nelson had two arms when he died.

Absolutely stunning. Unofficial new goal: see them again as soon as possible.
