Interpol

If I had to pick a band that I’d expect to play a serious set and do it in a very straightforward and perfect manner, it would be Interpol, hands down.  Their music is a kind of surgery and in concert they are the needlepoint doctors taking meticulous care of you.

The setlist (and for the Googlers: October 15, 2004 - Detroit, Michigan - State Theater)

  1. Next Exit
  2. Obstacle 1
  3. Evil
  4. C’mere
  5. Say Hello To The Angels
  6. Narc
  7. Not Even Jail
  8. Hands Away
  9. NYC
  10. Slow Hands
  11. Length Of Love
  12. PDA

    Encore
  13. Leif Erikson
  14. Roland

    Second Encore
  15. Stella Was A Diver And She Was Always Down

They played with a nearly bare stage.  Amps were hiding out of sight, cables were few and ran quickly to the edges, even the non-member keyboardist was only half onstage.  It’s this minimization that makes much of their majesty.

And who doesn’t love a band that teases you with a double encore?
