So it's about what we thought.
If (when!) they come back to Boston, I'm kinda hoping they don't play the Orpheum. It's just a crappy venue, sad to say. HOB again would be fine. Royale is supposed to be nice, but might be too small.
I'm really hoping they hit Boston again, especially since I missed them last time. But anywhere but the Royale, it's a horrible venue. Aesthetically it's nice, but the sound quality is horrid. If you're anywhere near the stage you won't be able to hear any vocals. Whoever they have doing the mix should be fired; it seems like every band I've seen there have complained about the sound. It's a night club that takes concerts as a secondary kidn of thing. In an ideal world, Interpol would do a three night stand at the Paradise! But I'd be fine with the Orpheum or Wilbur theaters, which is more realistic I suppose.
