Anyone else going to see the Pixies this year?

Did Dave and Frank also throw the drumsticks back and forth?  They did that here, and in Hull where most of my friends saw them.


No, Dave and Frank didn't throw them back and forth, but Dave threw a drumstick to Joey during one of the songs and Joey set up his guitar on a stand and started banging on the strings with it.

It's funny now hearing about how they have a routine where they'll play a song twice. I thought it sounded a little rehearsed, but I was just caught up in how much fun they seemed to be having up on stage. It really added a great deal to my enjoyment of the show to see that they were enjoying it as much if not more than the people in the audience.

Another funny moment was right before they played the encore Dave said that he had "hurt" his finger and asked the crowd whether they should play one more song or not. Everyone of course went nuts screaming at them to play anyway.

They did that at the show we saw, too.  Also, Joey set up some feedback going on his guitar, put it in a stand and danced around the stage while his guitar played itself.

He did that for us, as well.  And then he performed fellatio on Frank Black while his guitar got up and played the solo to Freebird.  Unreal, man.

They didn't play that here in Salt Lake.  I wasn't disappointed or anything, but I think a lot of people expected it.


That's particularly disappointing, given that SLC radio played the hell out of that song when Trompe le Monde came out.  

I keep reading this thread to remind myself what a dumb-ass I am for missing their nearest show in October....


More disappointing was that they did not play Alec Eiffel.  But they played all the other favorites, including an amazing Subbacultcha.  Gouge Away was also particularly good, but that is my favorite so how can it not be?  I was most amazed by my complete lack of disappointment at the shows in general.  I went with high expectations, and they met and exceeded them at both shows.  So yes...continue to kick yourself for missing them this time around.

I don't know if you guys already saw this, but Ticketmaster just released a bunch more tickets for the NYC shows. I'm so torn on whether to get tickets for the two farewell shows or not.....
