Interpol — "Barricade" at Toad's Place, CT on 7.24.10

[27svideos]

I LOVE how they recorded the chorus 6 months ago and Paul can't even sing it live.

...good plan

[richyboy721]

Come back Carlos!

Get rid of that bassist in the cheap suit and that lightwieght keyboardist - I don't care if he's from secret machines.

They better have dumped them by the time I see them in Manchester in December lol

[soonpker]

hes problay pissed off on how bad that keyboardist sounds, his voice is awful way to high

[lucholucho18]

nice, nice, nice!!!!!!

[chercarol03]

Paul sounds like shit... or it might the bad sound on the camera...???

[DeborahNIN]

@chercarol03 The sound was not that great with my camera. They sounded much better in person. Paul might have been a bit off key at times though, with a few of the higher notes, I will admit. Eh, nobody is perfect. ;-)

[schunathy]

Is that a gesture of frustation from Banks at 2:58 ?

what's wrong with the crowd? they looked bored during this song...

[DeborahNIN]

@schunathy Paul was not frustrated at all with the crowd. He was just grooving and moving his head a bit at that part of the song. The crowd was pretty mellow over all but Interpol is not a mosh pit/stage diving inducing band, after all. Plus, this is "lame-ass CT" (I like to refer to my state as such) and most crowds are pretty tame compared to like a NYC show. I've seen Interpol twice in NYC and the crowds are much more into the music. It's their hometown after all. ;-)

[schunathy]

@DeborahNIN No honey, I didn't mean that he was frustrated with the crowd, but with himself.. I don't know, I felt that vibe. I live in Europe and I've only seen shows of them/Julian Plenti here, it's madness!! (well, kind of).

Thanks for posting this video... this is history! ;-)

[DeborahNIN]

@schunathy Oh, no problem. I just learned about Paul's solo stuff called Julian Plenti this week. I will have to check it out. I've never been to Europe but hope to visit someday. Yes, history in the making here... Interpol playing at a tiny club in CT... so awesome! When they tour with U2, they will explode with popularity from all of that exposure! ;-)

[interpolscar]

Thanks for posting this! Hope they play it on Letterman this week. :)

[DeborahNIN]

@interpolscar Oooooh, thanks for the Letterman tip! They are on this Thurs. night! Can't wait! :-)

[bellatrixL]

i'm a little sad paul didn't sing the last "you know us" cuz its one of my fav parts, but it does sound spectacular live. I'm just gonna have to wait till august to see it though! :( thanks for posting!!

[Artstar]

Too bad about Paul's voice. Still, an excellent song.

[CodyT3212]

@Artstar What do you mean? He sounds fine. The chorus just isn't as badass due to the lack of studio trickery.

[Artstar]

@CodyT3212

He does sound fine, except he can't hit those high notes at all live. I wish he would have stuck to a range he was more comfortable with.

[leonblackblood172]

this song is so awesome....it reminds me of the heinrich maneuver 

[schunathy]

@leonblackblood172 oh please no!! this is way better than the heinrich maneuver!

[leonblackblood172]

@schunathy lol!! ok ok, its second time i hear "the heinrich maneuver is no a (GREAT) song...but i just said that cause the riffs sounds like heinrich...whatever THIS SONG IS SO AWESOME! just like interpol

[PedroMartins22]

Hmmm.. Barricade sounds great!!

[DeborahNIN]

@PedroMartins22 You're welcome. I love Interpol!
