Oh, and I'm Oisin
God, I love teenage fannie, wait, ya, no, ya, I wanted to hear Sister Isabel!

You know, I was just thinking, a few things I forgot which were really cool....before going into the grounds, myself and my brother went up to find a shop-there was a heavy security and police presence and there were loudspeakers advising people about the arrangements, etc., and it was so cool to hear The Pixies mentioned over loudspeakers in the area , with cars going by, etc.!
BTW, Kim Deal....does that woman ever stop smiling? Many times, when people talk about The Pixies live, her big, happy, grin is mentioned! It's so true!! :) |

amazing concert
last saw them 1990 and before that in 1988/89 i think it was anyway
However that set matched anything I've done or heard since i last heard the pixies ...and who else still has a crush on Kim
yeah the volum was pretty low but we were just behind the pit and pretty much moshed our way through most of the set until the bouncers intervened hahahaha ...in case youw ere there we were the two scots throwing ourselves about
Cant wait for meadowbank!!!!
BTW To the irish ...cheers for your lack of pretension and willingness to party hard and smile

Thanks James, better than the Irish Independent article - laden with inaccuracies by someone that was obviously no where near Lansdowne Rd.. |

"Good night Kim" , "Good night Charles", "Good night Joey", "Good night Charles", "Say good night Dave", '"Good night Dave", or something like that, it was soo funny!

Those pictures are fine, Barry!
I was glad to hear No.13 Baby, it's possibly my favorite Pixies song. I'm not sure I recall the bottle incident, I did'nt see a bottle hit Frank, anyway. I forgot about the water incident-Kim Deal was wiping her bass down with a towel and laughing!! And it was really funny when Frank and Kim were pretending to argue with each other, it looked to me looked to me like she was acting shocked and Frank was trying to calm her down, heehee!! Overall, great night! |

Heres some of my terrible pictures from the concert. I was too busy enjoying the music to get any good ones  .
The manta ray backdrop was really cool, have they used that at other venues?

"In Heaven" as you call it IS "The Lady in the Radiator Song" 
*slaps self*
Sorry, I just always refer to it as "In Heaven" so when I didn't see that I didn't really think

Don't mind me I'm just being pedantic...The only reason it came to mind was I happened to be talking to someone about Eraser Head just before the gig |

I was in the front row of the pit, in front to the right of Kim a bit.
My friend got Frank's setlist from one of the bouncers cos he had hit him in the face during the Kings of Leon set.
For those of you who were in the pit and heard people shouting "teabag" and throwing teabags toward the stage during Humanzi and Teeneage Fanclub, that was me and my friends.
The show was Great! I didn't notice any problem with the sound, but after almost every song Kim was sinalling to someone backstage to turn her bass up, or just to turn everything up, which would've been a good idea.
Do you ever read signatures thinking they're part of an actual post?
I find it really annoying |

Posted - 08/24/2005 : 11:02:59
wait, I copied the setlist into word earlier and "lady in the raditor song" isn't there and I see therewererumeors has edited it so I presume he jsut added it in.

Sorry to hear that Marsist, the crowd we really good were I was and it seemed that everone knew every lyric which was great. Yeah, I couldn't beleive it when someone through the bottle at Frank and im glad the crowd booed at whoever it was. Two other great things was when the rain just came down in a gust of wind and soaked everyone forcing joey to try and move to the side of the stage and the ending "goodnight kim" thing was brilliant.

no 13 baby was THE best song of the night.the sound was absolutly awful as was my view but thats was my own fault the crowd around me was shit aswell as none of them were singin or dancing and just standing completly still and the sound being so shite i was singing WAY to loud so every one could here me.despite all this the pixies played a blinder with an awesome set list.
and how dare that asshole hit frank with a bottle if i was beside him he would have got more than a bottle (the guy that is not frank)

Pixies themsleves were fantastic... but....
Vocal mics could have been turned up alot more - Franks earsplitting screams weren't earsplitting... The sound was def alot better at phoneix park, even though venue, and the fact that they were support act was not the ideal..
Irish people at concerts always piss me off - no awareness that pushing, vommiting and general inconsideration could take away from anothers enjoyment..
But they are just a couple of personal points that i would mention... but overall i am completely positive about it, always something special to see your favourite band live and I enjoyed it throughly.
Oh and one last thing... stand out song for me was Planet of Sound, i thought they did stormin' perfomance for this song, excellent. |

Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."
Ha ha, I think it was a combination of being totally knackered from not getting any sleep the night before, getting up early and running around doing loads of odd jods before I came into town, walking half way across town to get to Landsdown Rd. and jumping up and down like crazy at the concert, all on an empty stomach. Sorry I didn't get to see you after the gig, hows you ear? Just had another three pints with Carl, his Bro and Oisin. Great night alround.
Myself and Oisin got in when the gates opened and thats when they were giving out the pit passes, the pitch wasn't that packed until half way through The Kings of Leon set, then the place became completely black, I didn't think I was going to make it up the front. I thought the sound was pretty good, but I was in the front pit about eight people back from the front though. The only thing about the sound was that I thought Kims vocals were abit low. I thought they put on a great show even with thier surprize drenching. I would have loved to have heard La La Love You and Winterlong (even though its a cover). I loved hearing Is She Weird and No.13 Baby. It was cool that that asshole got booed for throwing the bottle on to the stage. I'll try and put up some pics soon.
