Interpol - 9/23/02

Interpol plays at the Gypsy Tea Room in Dallas... Sept. 23, 2002.

[@jonathanhinojosa1972]

It's funny how someone yelled "album of the year" and it was one of the best albums of the decade.

[@ElenaArboria]

People is all like "it's obnoxious to film at shows stop it blah blah blah" well I sure as hell am glad you filmed this. :)

[@adrianjezierski8093]

+Beatrix excatly. they can record interpol and post it there xD

[@bjrnvindabildtrup9337]

It's kind of a balance. You get the best footage by being really annoying and obnoxious when you film (handheld), but you're also a pain in the ass for the other people and it's also harder just being there in the moment for yourself, you kind of miss the moment by filming it. The best solution is probably the venue having 2 cameras in a good position, filming the whole thing. Maybe add in some handheld once in a while if something magical or extraordinary suddenly happens. Every little underground venue should have something like that.

[@estebankid10]

Beatrix I’m sure it was more strange than obnoxious considering it was 2002

[@mogwaifeartexas]

@@bjrnvindabildtrup9337 So the trick is being short, getting to the very front, and using a monopod. That way you're not obstructing anyone else's view.

I'm so obsessed with Carlos

[@scottguyton5943]

I went to this show, and it was fantastic. I had just gotten wind of this band in a Rolling Stone article and pulled up some songs on the internet, I was hooked on them immediately. Turns out they were coming to Dallas the next week. At Gypsy Tea Room of all places. This chick I new at the Dallas Observer got me VIP tickets, and she was going to go with me but she wasn't all in to this type of music so I went by myself, and wound up sitting in the very tiny VIP section with Carlos D's girlfriend at the time. I wanna say her name was like Baxter or Bailey or something, she had kind of a boy's name. Very, very cool chick, she was telling me things about the band throughout the night. One of the most memorable concerts in my lifetime. It was just pure luck that I caught on at the perfect time to see them live. Gypsy Tea Room was such a great venue. I sure do miss it. You could get right up to the band. And because it was smaller in size the sound just resonated in the entire place. And Interpol that night was everything I expected. I'll Never forget it. I've bought every Interpol piece of music ever since. Still a little pissed at Carlos. We'll never know what could've been. They were so damn good, and still are, but I keep waiting for another TOBL which can't be duplicated, but maybe there's some more magic in Paul and Dan's soul yet to come

Amazing story, thank you for sharing

[@NadaCero]

I've seen Interpol twice in their post-Carlos era, and they put on great shows. But if I could get a time machine to seeing the original lineup, I'd be so happy. There's something so pure about their early days as a band.

[@TheSubmissionChannel]

I've heard Interpol live with Carlos D, even at Coachella 2007, where they made everyone who witnessed that set a fan (including me). It was different. Special. Enough to make you know that it would never ever become better. I went to Weenie Roast just for them that same year. Carlos D was everything!

[@chriswise7978]

That's something that happens to every band ever. You can only play/ hear/ sing the same songs a thousand times over without burn out and loss of enotion. 90% of the greatest albumns ever made were the first or second for a band

[@sebastianvazquez6018]

Damn that bass in Stella is just magnificent

[@BlGGESTBROTHER]

All of the bass lines are insane.

[@Smokestack88]

The Specialist! I love that song, it's like Turn On The Bright Lights in one 7 minute song. So good.

[@ShilohBoca]

so true. i keep coming back just for that song

[@kilgoretrout321]

Specialist and Roland are my favorite two sides of the band. Funny how they became less raw and swinging, and became more plastic on the successive album.

[@beatspunkie]

Carlos must of been a difficult guy to work with, but boy did he shred.

Favourite live show by Interpol ever. Carlos back in the day actually seemed to be into it rather than the deadass he eventually became. This was pre nazi, pre Wyatt Earp, when he was at his best. Paul's voice had the full range and was not cracking constantly like it unfortunately does now.

[@moe_lester2628]

Aww, that's too bad you couldn't make it at the time, but I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Did you catch any Bright Eyes shows in Deep Ellum in 02-03? I recorded his '03 set at Trees and felt really old (at 24) because they brought the 21+ crowd to the front of the line and there were only like six of us, lol. The rest of the queue was more than a block long...

[@evie_jn]

mogwaifeartexas I knew about that BE show too but my folks at the time made it hard for me to go to shows :'( But I totally feel ya on feeling old at shows, at least y'all got to move to the front! Sweet perk ^__^

[@mogwaifeartexas]

Yeah, other than feeling old it wasn't too bad, and we had still had time to pick up crepes from Cafe Brazil down the street... don't know if they're still there, but that and Angry Dog were the best places to eat in Deep Ellum!

Was at this show! They played in the tiny room if memory serves me well. The place was packed. Had just come home to Dallas from Austin where they were playing the album in a bunch of the cool stores. I didn't wanna go because I was tired, but I'm glad Peter convinced me to go! Bought the album the next day

[@irisgallup5770]

I was at this show live. I followed them around & was ecstatic when they joined my fave band on Curiosa. I can’t tell you how special to have this video is -it captures for me that moment in time this band was just magical. Thank you for having the forethought to record this and share it. It really helps transport me back!

[@mogwaifeartexas]

Glad you like it! I try to capture every show I record as a time capsule for both those who were there and those who were not. This is one of my all-time favourite concerts and I was fortunate enough to be like just a foot from Carlos for the entire set.
