A lot of shows and festival has been filmed, they should release two discs...even 3.
One with a recent live show (Williamsburg 09.10.2010).
One with the full Eurockeennes show (2005).
One with the full La Route Du Rock show (2001).

Plus some extra "behind the scenes" footage from their tours , special tv appearances and other "live" material.

I doubt they will ever release the LA route du rock because Paul was way too drunk and his vocals weren't on form.

So true, I find the clips on You Tube almost unwatchable. :blink: :wacko:

BUT the Eurockeennes show is PERFECT.

[EtoileMaris]

I'd buy it too. :)

[WillieT]

I would totally buy it! :)!

I wouldn't say Eurockennes was perfect. Watch the clip of Next Exit Sinister Kid posted. Around the 1:30 mark Blasco's keyboard cuts out, only to come back in occasionally to drop a clanger. For the next 30 seconds there's an entire keyboard melody missing. He tries to cover by playing it on the other keyboard but it's not the same setting so it sounds shrill. He drops a few more clangers before the keyboard comes back in just at the end. By the end of the tour Blasco is out and Farmer Dave is in. Hmm...

Well, they change keyboardists for every album's tour, so I don't think that had anything to do with it...

Yes, I'd love a live DVD from them. That something new and something old idea sounds great.

You can't find PERFECTION on a live show.
The Eurockennes show is amazing,end of the story.

I think the live experience in itself is perfection. Every time I see them in concert it seems better than before because nothing can really beat being there and experiencing it with the crowd. I would like every concert I attended to be filmed, but that's not going to happen.
Or at least thats how I feel.

After 4 albums and tours all around the globe, what they are waiting for ?

I think there would be copyright issues!

I don't think they could use footages from tv appearances even though they performed their songs.

they just have to ask permission to the tv channels....

[Doo (type 2)]

Seeing the early brownies video footage would be lovely. I know it's floating around somewhere..

[ben_cure]

That isn't the way Copyrighting works for live broadcasting. They would have to pay royalties to the owner of the footage.
I don't imagine Interpol would want to release footage of a recording they didn't have any control over when there is already a perfectly good copy available online.
I would imagine if they were going to release a concert it would have a chosen director and have to be mixed exactly the way they wanted. I would like a to an Official Blu Ray too but I just don't see it happening. I think whilst it's a nice gimmick to release a few live video's of tracks when it boils down to it they want people to hear the songs as they were completely intended to be heard. On the records.

Online there are just bootlegs available, is different if they release a festival show on dvd.
And about the copyright for live broadcastings i know exactly how it works, the band has been paid in advance by the tv channel to let em film the show. To release a video of the show they should just find an agreement to divide the proceeds.
I know that maybe they prefer to release a dvd from a non festival show, but some of their best live material comes from the festivals.

Its long overdue. I would totally buy a dvd of their live performances. Even a live album. I wonder why they haven't? Are they against that whole type of thing? Anyways, it will be a cool thing if they did.

Well, The Black Ep and the Interpol: Live in Astoria in EP were both recorded live, so its apparent that they're not opposed to releasing live recordings.

I think a live concert DVD/Bluray now would be perfect. Interpol is in its prime and the tour for the ST album was great, balanced with the best of their 4 records. Of course there are some great old gigs, but I think it would be amazing for us to get a chance at having 'a still' from them at this time. Yes, we'll always have the music, but sometimes blurry bootlegs and recordings just won't do.

It seems that this idea doesn't have much support from fans or even the band. But what harm could it do? What do you all think?

+1 :D (Especially as the gig I was supposed to go from this tour was cancelled so I want to watch a well shot set)

If enough people are interested in a campaign, what do you suggest? Twitter hastag, facebook petition page, trying to relive this thread? ;)
