This is the new place to talk about the Minneapolis show. Anyone starting something in here will be locked, plain and simple. If whoever was doing the list in the old thread wants to rejuvenate it here, that'd be a great help.

Remember the crazy levels of excitement at the time? Going on ten years. It felt like you better see them when you can in case they break up again. And now they're still goin'...

Hey All,
The local paper review was pretty poor. I read up the MTV and NME.com review and they could not stop with praising the band. Both agreed that the magic they possesed in the past came flooding back last night. 2 Good Reviews and 1 poor review. While I normally do not follow the roads of MTV, they did provide a good review. Mind you both also mentioned that they all are shall we say chunkier....
I am pretty stoked that the Edmonton show will be great. Can't wait. |

Wow that review was harsh...Janis Joplin, Nirvana and other greats probably would have gotten a worse review from this guy.

The Pixies
Pixies' 'warm-up' tour lukewarm
BY REGGIE ROYSTON
Pioneer Press
CONCERT REVIEW
The Fine Line Music Cafe in downtown Minneapolis was the scene of one of the most talked about rock music reunions Tuesday night. Instead of resurrecting the youthful arena-rock ghosts of the 1970s, it was an icon of the graying of Generation X that was in the spotlight — the Pixies, an indie rock band of the late '80s whose artistic daring and pop sensibility paved the way for '90s mainstream alternative rock acts like Nirvana (who heralded the band as one of their major influences).
For music fans in the Twin Cities, it was a moment of rare national fanfare. This would be the band's first public performance since 1992’s U2 “Zoo TV” tour and would be preceded by three days of private rehearsals at the downtown Minneapolis club.
The tickets sold out online within minutes, meaning a capacity crowd filled with savvy local music fans, music industry insiders and elite superfans who bought tickets on eBay and flew in from locales such as New York and Los Angeles.
The official word from the band’s camp was that this “warm-up” tour, hitting small cities such as Spokane, Wash., Boise, Idaho, and Winnipeg, Manitoba, is the lead up to the band’s official reunion gig — a co-headlining spot at the exclusive Coachella Music Festival with Radiohead and Kraftwerk in May.
As far as warm-up shows go, the performance was just that — warm.
Part of the mythos of the Pixies rested largely on the personality of their enigmatic lead singer and songwriter Frank Black, whose personality was famously acrimonious, cryptic, satirical and egomanicial — traits which only served to make the band’s choppy mixture of surf-guitar, quirky pop and cantankerous punk believable and hard to categorize.
Dressed in a well-worn flannel and taking with a slightly amused smile, the bald and pudgy guitarist ripped through an opening set of twangy sing-scream classics “Bone Machine” and “Wave of Mutilation" mostly with eyes closed, remaining pensive, verging on bored throughout the set.
One wondered what indeed was going through Black’s head the entire performance. Lead guitarist, equally bald and diminutive Joey Santiago looked very pleased with the dancing crowd’s fanaticism while supplying the band’s signature surf tone. The much-loved Kim Deal (who sang lead for The Breeders after the band’s demise) smiled adorably from behind her bass, losing time often as she is famously known to do, but clearly lost in the moment, often exchanging gleeful nods with David Lovering, the drummer.
Through two sets and one encore, the band’s music lived up its laborious and ecstatic reputation, quiet, brooding and danceable for the slow parts of the “Tame” epic and thunderous for “Velouria.”
Black looked as if he were somewhere else.
As far as reunions go, Black’s curious disinterest and rougher elements the band’s performance left cause for pause. During Deal’s signature tune “Gigantic,” the bass player’s singing and time was clearly off, leaving Black clearly annoyed and leading to a catty exchange between the two afterward.
Those exchanges beg the question of whether the chemistry of the group, which broke up when differences between the two could not be ironed out, can be sustained with vigor to complete a year’s worth of touring.
That can only be answered when the band returns to the Twin Cities for a concert at Roy Wilkins this fall, for a show more accessible to the grassroots indie-rock audience that helped launch the band’s career. Tickets for the Nov. 11 concert at Roy Wilkins go on sale Saturday at 10 a.m.

Ok, we got the first comment about the concert and it wasn't good at all... come on, even for those who couldn't go, to hear that the show was bad gives to us a bad feeling... How're they... phisically... are they too changed? How's the CD's quality? Whatever this concert was, it has let me know awesome people...

somar1,
In other words, you don't want the live disc for the Minny show. |

Well, talk about self-delusion . . . last night's show fucking blew in a major way. Nothing but a token slaughtering of one song off of each TROMP and BOSS?!? You'd think that the Pixies had warped backed to 1989 or something. [We know that's not true, though, 'cuz I weighed the band before the show, and they must have six members now.] I knew that this "reunion" idea was too good to be true. And, if you guys really think that this show was "fucking awesome," then just listen to the live disc, and you will hear how horrible it was. For those of you that missed it, consider yourselves lucky. |

Posted - 04/14/2004 : 06:08:04
FYI,
My offer still stands regarding the Disc Live CD. If anyone has an extra original (not a copy) disc live CD then I will pay the cost of purchase, plus I will purchase you a ticket for the Minneapolis show in November...or possibly a different show...assuming I am able to get those tickets.
Thanks,
Scott |

The problem is that immediately after the concert I have to head straight down to Sioux Falls South Dakota for some pesky surgery thing that I guess I can't be late for. If I drive super fast and only stop for gas I could probably get from Winnipeg to the Twin Cities to Sioux Falls in enough time, but if there's room in one of the car pools that is heading this way anyway, that would be excellent. I'll be at the Fine Line tonight with an orange sweatshirt and a baseball cap that says "Actor." My cell is 605-360-0894. If anybody could hook us up that would be super-fly. Thanks.

Hi,
As I mentioned before I am interested in a CD from the performance tonight. If anyone is interested in buying me the CD then I will pay for the CD plus buy you a ticket for the Pixies show in November here. I feel the need to return the favor. The first one to respond to me will get a free ticket. I will be purchasing tickets as soon as they go up for sale Saturday.
I did have the opportunity to buy tickets for this show at a much inflated price, but I declined because I don't believe in ripping off the artist.

Good question. Well, I posted the website that has pictures of a few of us, but I guess we will just have to guess by looking. I'm not a very social person for the most part, so my wife and I will probably be eating and hanging out until I see someone I recognize. That is, LoganZ, MattB or Roomloo. We shall see!
According to Citysearch.com, Pizza Luce is pretty quiet on a weeknight. haha
