Interpol performs Obstacle 2 live at La Route Du Rock in Saint Malo
Back in 2001, when Interpol performed 'Obstacle 2' at La Route Du Rock in Saint-Malo, they were riding the wave of their debut album, *Turn On the Bright Lights*, which had dropped just the previous year. This album was a crucial moment for the band, earning them a spot in the post-punk revival scene and setting the stage for their distinct sound. *Turn On the Bright Lights* is often praised for its haunting melodies and introspective lyrics, making hits like 'Obstacle 2' resonate deeply with fans. Interestingly, this live performance showcases the band's raw energy and on-stage chemistry, capturing a moment when they were still carving out their identity in the music world. This era marked the beginning of their ascent, with critics taking notice and audiences hungry for more of their atmospheric rock.
