Pixies

What’s there to say? It was THE PERFECT SET. They played all the classics including new songs from their latest album. Emma Richardson is hands down without question the best thing that’s happened to the band in decades. She plays with a sincerity that’s beyond worthy of the highest praise. Her vocals were what I call “Pixies” vocals. Black, Joey and David were great as usual; but I really think our new Pixies bass player is the best thing to happen to us fans since Kim 1.

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.

What a night, what a performance from the masters.! My first time seeing them after being a fan since ‘88 and they sounded great. Thinking back, it was odd that they didn’t speak to the crowd once, but instead they stood there and smashed out hit after hit for a couple of hours . No complaints here. Loved that the crowd was such a mix of people and generations, and in typical London fashion, the pit was real 😁

It has been many years since I saw the Pixies touring Surfer Rosa in 1988, but the power was still there the catalogue obviously burgeoning with more quality and tonight didn't fail to excite and make for a spectacular event for all in attendance, over the 28 songs played with 4 from the newest album released it was a great blend of sing along to shouting in unison. I loved every minute of it.

This one was ok as usual is but bass player Emma does not gives the same touch of previous one Paz. No interaction with audience also as usual....there must time to play through the best Pixies mytic songs and some from the new album "The Night the Zombies came" that arr quite good actually. Always a good and positive experience but it could have been a litle litle more better...no encore also.

Finally was able to see The Pixies live after all these years! I've seen Frank Black a couple of times and will see him again in February 2025, and I've seen The Breeders. But I've always been too late to get tickets to The Pixies, so this was a real treat!!! This was a big festival on the banks of the Seine river in Paris. They played many hits from Doolittle. Now I'm super happy, and tame!

Besides the extreme heat this show was what the kids say “off the chain!” Cat Power & Modest Mouse sounded great, although you could tell they were hot and tired, I don’t blame them though. The Pixies blew my mind, they exceeded my expectations. I knew they were going to be good, but I didn’t expect them to be THAT good! Black’s voice is INSANE, so EFFORTLESS!! Starlight is always a great choice when it comes to live music, the staff is friendly and it’s just a great atmosphere. Thanks for the great time. See ya again!

Absolutely fantastic show. Pixies were as awesome as always. My two favourite albums so I was definitely in my element. First time at the Kentish Town O2 and I can honestly say it's the best O2 venue I've been to. Staff were really professional and friendly, the man who was arranging the accessible queue at the front was one of the best members of staff I've come across in nearly 40 years of going to gigs. It was a trek to come here from Birmingham but most definitely worth it.

Cat Power, Pixies, and Modest Mouse all put on one amazing show. Their song choices for their set-list and the performance itself, made it a show that I’m glad I can say I attended. Cat Power’s live performance highlighted her strong, yet gentle, and beautiful singing voice. Pixies are legends and know how to put on a show and the live version of the songs were better than hearing a studio recorded version. The same goes for Modest Mouse. I was so blown away by their performance, I will be sure to catch Modest Mouse anytime they’re in Portland. Seriously, the show was that good.

We went to see the Pixies with Modest Mouse at Edgefield in Troutdale. We were there to see the Pixies. The show started with Cat Power. Oh, that voice! Great arrangements, cool style and we were blown away! Next up we’re the Pixies. They started at 60mph and just cranked out a mind blowing show 80 minute show! Crowd at the front was crazy fun, people were nice to each other and everyone had a blast. “Life changing”, “bad as***” and “can you believe it” were some of the comments we overheard. A quick set change and out came Modest Mouse — not to disappoint — they also started at 60mph and just continued to crank it up! Music was awesome! Energy was off the charts! I have been averaging 2 shows a week all summer and I think was the show of the summer. If you do t have tickets, see if you can get your hands on some. You will thank me later!

Nonstop performance the whole time they were on stage. Band was great and it was awesome to hear them live. No real interaction with the audience. Hated the venue (we paid for seats; general admission people kept coming up and standing in the aisle right next to us, talking and blocking our the walkway, and security/staff kept ignoring it including one employee who talked and joked with the GA folks the whole time).

Just a trip troughtout everys passiones lived in my life. From my early age on rock - punck rock - the Base They Made for the Misic coming After and YEEEAAAHHH 2 Hours No Stop of Energic Pleasure and Wet really Wet dancing singing and crazy reaction We Really Need in an Historical Concert. GREAT ATMOSPHERE CREATED AND .... I was really happy to the exchange with my "neighbours" really FUNS and make My "ITALIAN" Shiting guy for let move away the NOT sane Peoples in the night.

Very well organized event. The band Pixies needs no praise, but here goes: really fantastic performance, about two hours of uninterrupted first-rate rock and roll. Black Francis still seems to sing like a boy, very impressive. All the band members are very expressive and the songs were all performed with the vigor peculiar to the Pixies. If I get the chance, I'll go back to one of their concerts for sure!

INCRÍVEL! Sem dúvida inesquecível, fui com a minha mãe que é fã dês da adolescência dela e passou o gosto para mim, o que apenas prova que é uma banda intemporal. Dês do vocalista que brinca com a voz de uma maneira surreal, a Paz Lenchantin que é a maior baixista de todos os membros, baterista e guitarrista de tirar o fôlego. Acho que todos os fãs de Pixies deviam ter a experiência. E respondendo a dúvida que possivelmente têm, a banda não apenas apresentou o maravilhoso novo álbum como grandes sucessos do passado inclusive o hit "where is my mind".

Los espectadores, que casi llenaban el recinto, han asistido durante casi dos horas, y sin bises, a la habitual descarga adrenalínica que supone vivir un concierto de esta banda, aunque esta vez combinada con momentos más sosegados, inevitablemente unidos a las canciones de los últimos años. En un espectáculo sin efectos y ni siquiera las ya habituales grandes pantallas rodeando el escenario, la apoteosis llegaba cuando Black, cuyo verdadero nombre es Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV y cumplirá 58 años en abril, enlazaba un éxito tras otro. Como era de esperar, las canciones más clásicas, verdaderos himnos generacionales de menos de dos minutos de duración, han sido las más celebradas, bailadas y ovacionadas por un público en buena parte maduro. Bastaba con un rasgado de guitarra para que todo el público supiera que era “Here comes your man” lo que iba a bailar, mientras un “hey” de Frank Black ha sido seguido de inmediato por un masivo “been trying to meet you” para acabar coreando, abrazados, “Chained”. Ha habido incluso algún conato de “pogo” con temas como “Gouge away” y “Wave of mutilación”, que ha tenido una segunda versión mucho más tranquila.

Pixies and DR Koncerthuset was an excellent match. It was more than two hours of nonstop feeding us with the best rock of more than three decades. The sound and the sight in the hall was of an absolute quality making it one of the best live expreriences I've had throught the last 45 years by the stages. My son had his first live concert with me and this will stick with him as a really great memory for the rest of his life for sure.

Sound was great! First time seeing the Pixies and they played a ton of songs without a break for two hours straight. Thought it was weird that they didn't address the crowd at all, not even saying goodnight. Soma needs to elevate their floor if they're going to pack the amount of people in that room they did last night. Couldn't see half the show with everyone at the same level. Either way it was still amazing to see the legendary Pixies who were perfect and on point the whole show!

Nice and all but they didn't play any song from indie Cindy. Also we need to say that the beginning of the concert was pretty boring and Paz lechantin had a "dead woman" behavior, she was like a stone. The end of the concert was better and I had a lot of fun but I'm not sure if I'm gonna see them again, the quality of the new songs it's really low if you compare them with Doolittle, and that lack of quality is almost touchable and that bothers me.

End of a long leg of the Head Carrier Tour. Joined by the worlds largest Pixies Facebook group 60 of us hit the front of the stage Black Francis seemed like he had a fire lit under him as he screamed louder than the past few show I’d seen a few months prior. Pixies last night of the tour and giving 150%. Best live set of the tour so far. 2018 impresses big time.

There's no other band like the Pixies. Punk alternative grunge heavy garage rock whatever you want to call and however you want to categorize them. Miss Kim Deal. Still the Pixies show rolls on never missing beat and seamlessly blending it all together to make it a glorious smorgasbord of everything they have to offer, or one two hour song if your match.com first date brought you here. Killer light show, so much better than 2010's epileptic videos. Wonder if I can get to Dallas tonight? Can't get enough. And always wonder if each tour ius the last.
