Francis looks exhausted. The group plays a little scene on stage where Paz convinces the other to play one last song. Bone Machine. I saw them last in and was so happy when my wife bought me a ticket to this gig for my 47th!

The band played for around 2 hours and covered tunes from just about every album although i have to say i have barely listened to that orange one so wouldn't know if they played something from that mistake.

They transported me back to my youth for two hours even if as an auld cnut i just stood there either nodding my head back and forth or tapping my foot or, during more energetic moments, a combination of both.

I really enjoying the performance far more than it showed, honest. I was surprised to see so many what i thought were youngsters in the Tonhalle listening to a band who formed when many of them weren't even twinkles in the eyes of their hopeful padres, but their energy made up for my lack of.

Thanks to them. I was even more surprised to see Mosh pit contributions by guys older than me. You energetic cnuts.

Love it. They played enough off the Surfa Rosa and Come on Pilgrim LPs that i went home a seriously happy man who hasn't stopped talking about and reliving the gig since.

Pixies were a driving force in the alt-rock boom of the early 90's in America and their legacy and influence lives on in contemporary bands to this day.

Their latest support act Royal Blood thank the band for the invite and explain that albums such as 'Surfer Rosa' had massive influence on their own sound.

From the grunge introduction of 'Bone Machine', the audience are ready to jump, cheer, sing and mosh with this iconic rock outfit and the band gives it everything on stage in return.

A slick performance group, they blaze through a number of fan favourites before the audience even has chance to applaud in earth shaking volume.

They thank their british audience profusely before beginning cult classic 'Monkey Gone to Heaven'. They still inherit the qualities that makes so many young and emerging bands turn to Pixies during the beginnings of their careers.

Despite having toured for close on 25 years, the stage show still has a very organic feel where the music is allowed to take centre stage without relying on visuals or pyrotechnics.

The finale of 'Where Is My Mind? Doors opened at PM, around PM the opening band, Public Access TV, started playing. It's an OK band. Pixies started playing around PM.

They started with "Where is my mind" and a couple more popular songs, then they went back to not so popular songs not popular for no-fans from the first albums, the mixed make-the-crowd-jump loud rock songs to some lets-take-a-break more melodic songs.

A weird thing I noticed was that Paz played two or three songs with his back to the public, at first I thought she was checking something with the sound but then realized she was playing like that on purpose.

Nothing bad with, the music was still great. They never stopped playing from start to finish, it was song after song, no talking to the public.

The only interaction with the public was Joey doing a mini-solo on his guitar. Black Francis is still the driving force of yesteryear and is supported by Joey Santiago guitar , David Lovering drums and Paz Lenchantin who replaced Kim Shattuck and in tun Kim Deal.

While Black Francis is the focal point of any Pixies concert, the underpinning contributions of the other three are critical.

This was always the case in the late s and early s when Black Francis was a solo artist. Despite some good tunes he was never the same live without Joey and David to drive the sound.

They are a powerful quartet with a tremendous back catalogue. The Pixies don't know how to deliver a bad concert.

So go and see them and enjoy yourself. A valuable lesson I learnt last night and that is never to look at a set list from a previous night's gig as you will most probably be disappointed.

Last night however couldn't have been more different with the only big tune the whole night being "Monkey Gone to Heaven".

However, each song was played superbly and in quick fire mode with the only crowd interaction being when Black Francis apologised for messing up the same song twice, embarrassingly moving on to the next song.

Charles "Black Francis" Thompson, David Lovering, Paz Lenchantin and Joey Santiago together all brought a great ear candy experience last night!

From the moment I heard Thompson's warbling vocals filtering out the open front door as he sang the line "What's that floating in the water?

Grieves' I knew the night was off to a great start! Together Thompson along with Lovering's backbeat, Lenchantin's furious bass work and call-and-answer style of vocal trade with Thompson, rounded off with Santiago's amazing guitar work, they tore through the perfect set list with many hits as well as rare gems mixed in!

I have wanted to see Pixies since ish but never had the chance until now. The Opening band Royal Blood was amazing for a 2 piece band!

Once that happened the show went on amazingly. I am happy to have seen them. The venue Shaw center, Edmonton, AB was nice because you could stand or sit if you preferred.

This was my second time seeing The Pixies and I can say that they did not disappoint!!! I was up close and personal in front that I could almost touch them!

The beat of the drums, rhythm of the bass guitar gave me a thrill as they did years ago. I don't know if I was the oldest person there and didn't care.

They never missed a beat and played all my favorites. This was by far was the best time listening to and seeing my Favorite band!!!

Once again the pixies surprise. I went in with limited expectations. I have and always will love the pixies however, I had expected them to have lost something over the 30 years.

I was very much wrong, though different they surprised me massively. I enjoyed each and every song as if it were my favourite and it was clear that they had lost nothing.

Overall, the exceeded my expectations greatly and proved that they are still the captivating and great band they have always been.

Here comes your Band Always, and I mean always, brilliant Live. Everyone a classic track as shown in us older Pixies fans with the newer tracks mixing seemingless in.

Whether it's the ballad tracks or Frank's screaming two hours slipped by. If you ain't seen them, this band that spawned so many bands Hopefully they will tour again in s couple of years.

They played all three songs I wanted to hear: Here Comes Your Man, Head On and Debaser. Two songs that were unexpected and highly welcomed: Hey and Gigantic!

Paz Lenchantin is a great replacement for Kim Deal. At first, I didn't think I would be on board. But the show made me a believer. Loud and great as ever!

I read many reviews making a point of reminding the reader that Mrs. John Murphy was no longer in the lineup, but Paz Lenchantin sounded perfect in her role as the 2nd surrogate for Kim.

It was my first time seeing the Pixies after being a fan since the 80s. It was a really great show, starting with Where is my mind and ending with Debaser as encore song.

Quote, "How is each song better than the last! Largely true, though not as excited about some of the new stuff they played. I thought Paz did an amazing job as new bassist.

First,the opener, Public Access T. I will not go go on and on about The Pixies, but I will say that it was the best sound for a show I've ever been to.

They were so on musically, I couldn't believe how good they were. I've been a fan for a long time and will continue to be so. Great show, as always.

Do I miss Kim? Yeah, a little Truly an awesome night and of course they could've played another hour and I still would've wanted more. Everyone was on point, they have not lost a step.

I was up in the balcony, cuz I'm old like that, and all I wanted was to be on the floor in the middle of it all It was great, but pretty short.

Intermission between Fews and Pixies was as long as Fews' performance, that reduced excitement caused by it. So I needed to transmit myself again to listen to Pixies, because previously I was a little bored by transmission.

It was great in terms of lights and performance, quite normal in terms of sound; bad in timing.

Depuis le temps que je voulais voir les Pixies!!! J'en ai eu des frissons!!! Franck Black a une voix toujours aussi incroyable, Kim Deal a toujours le sourire, Joey Santiago est meme meilleur qu'avant et c'est tant mieux car c la guitare solo tout der meme , et le batteur assurait aussi Toujours de tres bonnes chansons mais toujours un manque de charisme affollant.

Un son trop fort, une mise en place sonore pourrie. Avec un bon son cela aurait pu ne pas etre trop mal meme si ce n'aurait jamais pu etre fantastique.
