Pixies

My 26th time seeing the Pixies since 1990 and fourth time in past two weeks. This show was slightly unusual in that Charles repeatedly spoke to the audience, which I had never seen before. He spoke about Bossanova and Trompe being artifacts of the era where the sun was starting to fade on college radio. It was also weird that they played an encore song (Debaser), which rarely happens. Even though they were playing in their former home town, the band didn’t seem as tight as they did when I saw them in Montreal earlier in the month. They had to stop and restart one song. MGM Fenway is an excellent venue and I hope to come back sometime.
