That looks like an incredible show. Three pioneering bands at the height of their powers. You'll always get a lot of Boston love for a Pixies reference or song. One quibble: I've always heard them referred to as Pixies (no "the", like Ramones) at least around here. Maybe they used "the" in some places and not in others. Who knows? Either way, great band!

I saw Pixies on Glasgow around 2011. They played the whole of Doolittle, and it was fine (I'm not a big fan of the Let's Play Our Classic Album In Full tours, they're a bit too fan service-ey and unnatural)

But then they came out for the encore and Kim talked about how they once had to abandon a Glasgow gig one time because the stage collapsed. So, for the encore, they played what would have been the setlist at that cancelled gig. The whole list.

Two Pixies shows for the price of one. It was very good value for money.
