I like Interpol, (their latest album is their best so far), but I agree with Goat Boy in saying the Olympia
show was rather unremarkable. I wasn't blown away nor was I disappointed..they just came on, did their thing, didn't speak to the audience, went off again. Crowd went berserk, of course. Can't quite put my finger on it as it wasn't a 'bad' gig, it was just by the time I got home I had completely forgotten about it. I won't be bothering to see them in RDS horse-shed/dump.
Yep, exactly what I was trying and maybe failed to say. The gig wasn't terribly different from listening to the album really loud in a dark venue, it had no extra spark. Hey, it's all about opinions! Don't worry christianwise, I won't be attempting to undeservedly procure myself a ticket, they're all yours ;-)
