Setlist.fm says the setlist for Leeds was:
Success
SHTTA
Narc
Heinrich
Hands Away
Barricade
Evil
Lights
Mammoth
C'mere
Slow Hands
Obstacle 1

Somehow I landed a Reading day ticket from a hardcore Muse fan (spares), and as Mammoth is one of my favourite Interpol songs I'd love to see this show. Even if I'm still a little meh on Hands Away.

um, seriously? :huh:

It's a wonderful song in studio but its never struck me as being a brilliant live song, although it was decent last night.

I was there - Reading got the same setlist Leeds did on Friday for the record.

The crowd got more into it the longer they played, although Evil and Slow Hands got the best reaction. Something sounded wrong with the bass drum at the start of Success as it dominated the overall audio and sounded very distorted - the bass guitar was inaudible as a result. Truax did well though - I'd say him and Pajo are good bass players and they certainly do look the part.

Mammoth was also played but it sounded slower than on record, which sounded a little bit disappointing as I love the song on record. Evil and Obstacle 1, which were songs that Interpol didn't play when I saw them at Birmingham last November, sounded very nice.

Also I did laugh a little at Paul's jacket when he arrived - it did seem a little odd considering everyone else was wearing black suits.

When I saw the words: orages (storm), pluie forte (heavy rain) on the weather forecast I decided not to go to Rock En Seine. I'm so fed up with the rain, we had so much rain this summer we have almost broken a record of 1860... But I did catch the Reading performance on BBC3, which I thought was good, better then Lowlands where Paul didn't sing that well...
Elbow was amazing too, and Muse was f-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c, but I'm a fan of course ;)

In Belgium we can't watch the BBC player either. I use this: Expat Shield. Download (doesn't take long) and open the programme. It's easy to use. You can always remove it later if you want...

Actually going back to the crowd there is a lot of flatness around - like some people here and there are singing and dancing but most of the crowd was just trying to get a good spot for the following Elbow-Muse pairing. Which is a bit sad as musically I felt the 'Pol were better than Elbow.

I was there. At Reading. Right at the front. Seemed fairly lively from where I was, to the left of the stage. (don't think I agreed with what Paul was wearing, though) I'd say some songs certainly got a better reception than others, but overall it was a good performance. Seeing them in concert on their own and at a festival now, I would say it's better to see them live on their own. Would probably seei more songs and more different ones, not just the popular ones. But then again, I think every music fan would say that!

[Dreamer]

Yeah I certainly preferred it at their own gig.

The crowd I have to admit looked a lot more dead in some songs and more alive in others when watching songs back then I thought the crowd was at the time.

I enjoyed the Leeds set,I thought Lights and Mammoth sounded particularly good.The only disappointment for me was the omission of Not Even Jail.
The crowd generally seemed to be enjoying it.The rain had been pouring all day until about 5:00pm so the fact that it finally stopped must have helped Interpol's reception.
It still seems a bit strange seeing them playing in daylight.I think I'd have preferred them to play in the NME/Radio 1 tent.
I just finished catching up to BBC coverage this weekend.I wish they had shown much more of the Interpol set and none of the deeply irritating Friendly Fires bloke prancing about.If anyone deserves to get a slipped disc it's him.

Did anyone record either show for downloads

[hysteryk]

It's a great performance, but I can't think of a song less suited to a rainbow than Lights. I'm sure Charlie White is thinking, "did they not see my video? Lights is dark, heavy and somber."
