Weren't you the guy who asked Daniel about coming to Israel? :lol:
Hope they play Obstacle 2 for you. :P

Twice!! And i have been harassing them on Twitter for a while now.. I'm starting to think they'll come here just so Daniel wouldn't have to face me again on the video chat! :D

I really hope they play it, too.. Or at least Specialist! :)

Yes, you're right. It just seemed wierd to me that they would fly from England to Israel and then to Ireland. But it's possible. Congratulations! I hope it gets confirmed soon.
:D

How big is the venue? Have fun, you guys.

I've been in this same venue for a Porcupine Tree show last year and there were about 5,000 people and there was still room to spare i think.

hey Willie T , It seems like you're a pretty creative dude and on top of that it seems like we have this obsession for this band in common, which probebly makes those last days really special for the both of us . Now inorder to make this fantasy even sweater, we got to find a way to make shure that SPEACIALIST will get played in TEL AVIV !!!!(or at least THE NEW, Unfortunatly i dont recall they played OB2 the last 5 years or so...:)) this year i saw them twice ( london and berlin) but pretty much got the same setlist (no specialist no leif no the new). got some ideas????

Best thing i think is try to catch another chat or something. If that's not available, well, Twitter spamming it is :).

[WillieT]

It's right around the corner.. Two more weeks! Can't wait!

It's a bit early, but I'll Tweet(Twit?) the setlist live and anything else i find interesting on the show. So for the show, you can follow @CoverPaint on Twitter. I'll make a mental note to remind you of this again closer to the show! :) Yay!

[Ely]

I just merged the 2 threads about the Tel Aviv show as there is no need to have two. Carry on please and enjoy the show!

TEL AVIV WANTS TO HEAR THE SPECIALIST!!!!!!!!!!

TWO Days left....
The city of Tel Aviv is filled with promotion Posters...
The local press seemed to find much interest with the band...
Me, my girlfriend and almost all of our friends (around 15 people), all going to the show and excited like crazy...

always got to have some anxiey though... after getting over the cancelation scenario... now's the time to be concerned with the sound quality issues... whatever :(

Sound Quality there was quite good when i was there last year.. Reminding you guys to follow @coverpaint on Twitter.. I'll try and tweet the setlist live :)[You can unfollow me later.. I'm not that interesting and tweet mostly in Hebrew]. I also think the show will be aired live on 88FM, Israeli radio station. I'm sure you could find a link for it online (i'll try to get one for you).

Thanks for the info WillieT! ;)

I think i found the webpage of that radio station. You're right the show will be transmitted live, it says this:

Is the most important indie rock scene in New York - and will come to Israel!
"Interpol" Live In Tel Aviv Exhibition Grounds, and broadcast live and exclusive 88 with Ben Rad. Tuesday at - 22:30. It's worth it!

I'm not sure but i think this is the link to listen to that radio station: http://www.iba.org.il/88fm/

The show will start 22:30h Israel time so it's 20:30h London time.
