When you saw 'em in Denver, was the crowd wild? For some reason I don't see the Pixies as a mosh pit band. I hope not, I'm not really in the mood for it.

They were going pretty crazy but there was no mosh. The ground floor was full with teenagers and young 20-ish types while the stands had a lot of middle agers.

I saw em in KC on October 1st. In a word: awesome.

And if that girl I met that night who has my phone number is reading this, when you are sending me those Phish CDs, hon?!
 
Shit! I take it back! Kim was hot! Frank was "wearing eye liner." :lol AMAZING concert. Started off with Kim singing "In Heaven" which lead to "Wave of Mutilation - UK Surf" (slower version) and gradually picked up, reaching its climax (imo) at Debaser (my favorite Pixies song). Gigantic was notibly awesome live, as was Vamos. Every song was performed perfectly, and lead seamlessly into the next. Their on-stage antics were really entertaining. I was third from the front. SO cool. The Datsuns opened, and they were awesome. I'm listening to some of their stuff online right now. It's alright, but they were really great live. Ah, what a concert. I'm tempted to go tomorrow, too. My room mate has a ticket she's trying to get rid of, so maybe....

It's in Minneapolis, yeah. I'm going tomorrow night, I'm super excited! Should be a blast.

Mana: I have an extra ticket for tomorrow night, too, actually!

the datsuns do actually suck though

I noticed :p But they were really really good live. Everything came together to form a really full sound. Their recorded stuff seems like it's missing half the song.

Lambtron: Have a great time, man. If you arrive ~40 minutes early you'll get pretty close to the front.

Doors at 7:30, then? I was going to get to town early, go to the Uptown Cheapo (which fucking rocks, btw) and Jamba Juice, then head over there. I wanted to get there about 6:45. Plus I've got to be there sort of early so I can find a buyer for the ticket. I hope. :/

Show starts at 7:30. Doors were open when I got there (6:40-ish)

Oh man, I love Cheapo. I live pretty close to uptown (46 & Bryant, across from Java Jack's), so I'll catch the bus up there all the time. They're open 'till midnight :rock

Shit, I may have to get there earlier then!

I'd go to Cheapo after the show but the buddy I'm staying with works at like 6am, so I want to get over there as soon as possible. (He lives in St. Louis Park, right off of Cedar Lake Rd.)

My fave pixies song, but only because that's my first name.

I saw 'em a few weeks ago in Columbus. Pretty good except for the sound set up. Played pretty much everything except Bam-Thwock.

My first name certainly isn't Tony, but that song is fucking great. Doesn't look like they've played it all fall, though. ;_;

'Twas a good time! I'm not familiar with all of their music, to be honest, I mostly only know Surfer Rosa, a bit of Doolittle and the occasional other song. They played really well, but I didn't enjoy myself until about half-way through the set, when Black Francis picked up the accoustic guitar-- he seemed to be having more fun, then, and they looked more like a band, than just a bunch of people playing together. Overall it was really kickass, and I wish I'd had money to pick up the DiscLive, ah well. I'd go again!

I still hate the venue, though. :(

Sounds like they started again recently! I think the whole idea is pretty cool, but $25 is a tad steep for me.
