I'd checked them out after hearing they'd be the opening band and was shocked to discover a group I actually looked forward to seeing. I felt a little bad when the crowd was a bit lukewarm to them at first, but people warmed up by the end of their set. Good stuff. I last saw the Pixies in Nov., at the first night of their stand at the Aragon. That was, and still is, tied for my favorite of any concert I've been to. The sound wasn't that great, but the setlist, the band and (except for one dick during the first part of Planet Of Sound) the crowd most definitely were. If you're curious, the other half of the tie is getting to see the Arcade Fire at some tiny ballroom on Thanksgiving and getting to stand literally right up against the stage. The Pixies played the Murat Theater in Indy tonight, and I dropped the ball. Had I been paying attention during the middle of April (the height, and worst part, of a semester of college for me), I'd have heard about the show when it was announced, and gotten fantastic seats. As it is, I managed to get tickets for myself and a friend on the floor, just a few rows behind where the balcony starts, stage left. Luckily my view was unobstructed. It was as awesome as the Aragon show, though in a somewhat different way. The show wasn't GA, but on the other hand, and the sound was much better tonight (although Kim's mic was a little low. You could hear her fine when she was singing mostly, but if she wasn't right up on the mic you couldn't). The crowd's energy seemed good. On the one hand, I wasn't anywhere near as close to the stage tonight as I was back in Nov., but I had a more or less unobstructed view of the stage, and was in a nice part of the crowd (ie: not many people doing The Standing Still). Everything worked out nicely, in the end. The band was enthusiastic, and energetic. Aside from dropping the beat a little, late in Caribou, they were killing. The setlist? I'm not positive what's below is all of it, but it looks close. I swear it was alphabetical. I noticed when Dead started. Frank joked about it a while later when (it sounded like) No. 13 Baby was where songs in the I's should be. Another special treat was Frank giving a shout out to the town I grew up in. He asked if anyone remembered Fort Wayne. I was 4 when they played there (Frank said '87), so I didn't remember. But it was cool. I was surprised at how not-boring Stormy Weather is. They manage to make it far, far more dynamic a song than the album version. Frank bellowing out the last repetition of the words was cool too. If someone's keeping track, both Joey and Dave caught the drum stick this time (though Joey's catch was a close call). I would've loved to hear River Euphrates, or to have them dust off Motorway To Roswell, but I have absolutely no complaints. Wonderful way to spend an evening. What I can remember of the setlist: Allison Bone Machine Broken Face Cactus Caribou Dead Debaser Ed Is Dead Gigantic Gouge Away Here Comes Your Man Hey I Bleed In Heaven Into The White La La Love You Monkey Gone To Heaven Mr. Grieves Nimrod's Son No. 13 Baby Stormy Weather Tame U-Mass Vamos Wave Of Mutilation Where Is My Mind? --- Winterlong I admit I may have forgotten one or two, but at least I know I've got the order right. Heh. EDIT: Added stuff about Stormy Weather. And some date-fixage [/quote]   Check here to include your profile signature.
