Obstacle 1 Performance by Interpol at Oxegen Festival 2008

Venue: Lotnisko Gdynia-Kosakowo Location: Gdynia, Pomeranian Voivodeship, Poland Date: July 5, 2008

In July 2008, Interpol was firmly in the midst of their career, having just released their highly acclaimed album 'Our Love to Admire' the previous year. This album marked a significant moment for the band, showcasing a more refined sound that expanded their distinct post-punk revival style. By the time they performed at Oxegen, they had already garnered a dedicated following and were known for their moody, atmospheric live shows. What's particularly interesting about this performance is how it represents a transitional phase for them; they were stepping into larger festival stages while still retaining the intimacy of their earlier work. Fans often reminisce about the energy and intensity of their live sets, and this recording captures that raw passion beautifully. With Gdynia as the backdrop, Interpol delivered a striking rendition of 'Obstacle 1,' proving their staying power in the evolving alternative rock scene.
