After Sleigh Bells' opening set (click here for photos) and a quick break, the Pixies took the stage for just over an hour with a blistering non stop set of over 20 tunes.
They opened with "U-Mass" (Unlike the other HD videos included in this review, I shot this for Facebook live, so if you join the Facebook group - the link is at the end of this review - You can check out that opening number.) and closed with an amazing "Vamos" featuring Joey Santiago. Here's that video:
This was a complete last minute show as a couple of days before, Ticketmaster released a large list of shows with tickets which could be "bought" using the vouchers from the class action law suit they settled a few years ago. Turned out I had 17 vouchers in my account so I grabbed tix to this and a few other shows. So the cost was a about a tank of gas...it was so worth it.
It was my first time seeing the Pixies and they were fantastic.
A good portion of their set was made up of tunes from "Doolittle" including a double shot pretty early in the set of "I Bleed" followed "Crackity Jones". Here's video of those two songs
Along with Santiago, the band features original members Black Francis and Dave Lovering.
Paz Lenchantin has replaced Kim Deal becoming a full member in time to record their latest album "Head Carrier".
Here's video of Paz taking lead vocals on "All I Think About Now" from that album.
In between they played a ton of great stuff. The setlist at setlist.fm has every song I remembered them playing, although the person who originally posted it did not have it in order. I tweaked some of it, it's probably still not completely in order, but it gives you a good idea of what went down.
The crowd was basically at capacity by the time "Vamos" ended and there would then be a short break before Weezer hit the stage. Read that review with photos and video by clicking here.
