I am still wordless! I will try to tell you how it was.
I arrived early, of course, I wanted a good place (next to FRANK).
It was 5 o´clock when I arrived, they were supposed to play at 9.
I was almost in the first line(my husband can´t stand to go to the front! but I had to do it, and he understod), there were only two girls in front of me and some people all over. And there I was so NERVOUS! The first band started to play, The Liars, they were very funny! After they played I had to listen to a portuguese band in the other stage(only 5 musics), than a band called Hundred Reasons came to the stage and I could't even try to enjoy(I think they where awful!).The place was already so crowded(but I thought that only a few were there for the Pixies, I thought it was all for Lenny Kravitz that was comming after the Pixies)
Anyway, while HR were playing I saw Frank Black on the backstage watching HR and tallking to everybody like he was a ansious to go on stage! I started shaking and swetting, HE was there!
At 9 o´clock, ponctually, they appeared! I couldn´t beleive that, the crowd went crazy, everybody junpping, screaming all the songs! They where all there for the Pixies! 50 or 60 thousand people!
I think the band was surpriesed with all that, Kim was allways smillig but I thought she was a little bit disttant from the other members(just my oppinion). Frank was GREAT, almost can´t discribe him! He looked like he was enjoing a lot, like he knew he was beeing so important to all those people, he even smiled to the crowd(like he knew what that moment meant for all of us).
Joey was perfect! And David also.
I wanted to tell you so many other things but , you know, I´m not recouvered yet, never will be!
I got so many good pictures! I´ll send them later.
Just another thing, my son saw on the news that there were people from New Zeland, Australia, Spain,... just for the Pixies! The festival got their better nigth just because of them! This is really crazy!
I only understod that it was so full of people when I was almost smashed by the crowd in my back. I´m AMAZED. There will never be any band like the Pixies. They have a strengh, they go deep inside me.
I don´t know what to say, I guess I could write more and more and I would´t be able to say it all,
I can´t tell all the setlist, but what I remember is something like this(NOT IN ORDER):
1º BONE MACHINE
- GOUGE AWAY
-ISLA DE ENCANTA
-CARIBOU
-IN HEAVEN(KIM)
-CACTUS
-GIGANTIC(KIM)
-Nº13 BABY
-H.C.Y.M.
-WAVE OF MUTILATION
-M.G.T.H.
-DEBASER
-WHERE IS MY MIND
-DEAD
-TAME
-VELOURIA
-MR. GRIEVES
-CRACKITY JONES
-SOMETHING AGAINST YOU
-NIMROD´S SON
-ED IS DEAD
-BROCKEN FACE
Can´t remember if there were more!
At the end Frank even said "Obrigado", thanks in portuguese!
I have to say to them all a huge THANKS! That was the best concert of my life!

I was completelly smashed literally...I´ve also saw them in 1991 in Lisbon and it was even intense than then. I think I sang every word of every song last week, well, pehraps the correct word is "shouted".:-) |

You're so lucky. An original CD isn't a fetish, is it?. Perhaps in some years, but it ain't easy.
See you later, darling. Glad to chat with you for a while.
Adeus!

You can't see me, but now I'm furious!!! Only joking.
I've checked 4AD and it's not selling any Pixies vinyl. Perhaps I'm too young for rock & roll.

He was the one guilty of this obssession that I had first with the Pixies and second with F.B.
A few days after we meet, I was only 15, He gave me the Come on Pilgrim vynil(i still have it), and since that day I addore the Pixies. Now it´s not his favorite group, sometimes he even tells me he can´t listen no more because I´m always listening! But he understands me!

Now I'm back. I changed my vote in the last moment. I don't understand how this whole european thing goes.
Well, nothing to say probably... Wait!, a question: What's your husband opinion about FB and the Pixies? I said that because my family and friends use to hate them, and I must listen to it when I'm alone. It's my little secret.
I had to deceive a friend to see them live. Hopefully he liked Franz Ferdinand. Uffff!!!

Rita, I also bought my first Pixies T-shirt ever and I'm 34. Hopefully I'll be still wearing it when I'm 50. I saw this grey haired bloke at the Brixton show in a Trashcan Sinatras T-shirt. He must be around 50 and I thought he was the coolest guy at the show.

I've never been. I never said that. I bought my T-shirt last month 
P.S.: Sorry, I must leave this chat. I have to make my important european vote. Does it sound sarcastic?

Casa de banho?(bathroom?) I guess you´ll have to improve that!
I forgot to tell that there was a kind of a fight just on my side! a guy just punched another and he started bleeding! And Kim was always smilling and looking at all of that, really enjoing! I don´t remember seeing people so crazy since my teenager times.
And I felt like a teenager again buying a PIXIES shirt! My first one! (never thought I would buy a band´s shirt again!)

Well, I can say: Vitela, Criança, Cambra do banho. Good spelling?, huh. But I want to learn more, 'cause I like it so much. It's probably the funniest language in the world!!! When I travelled to Viana do Castelo I passed hours and hours listening to the people in the street. Kind of freaky, isn't it?

P.S.: My portuguese is a copy and paste thing, because our stupid Official Language School is not teaching portuguese at the time. And they're teaching russian!!! Can't understand why...

Your right, damn Dylan! This must have been one of their better concerts, E EU ESTIVE LÁ NA FRENTE!
I just went to see if any newspaper wrote anything about the festival, and I was again surprised because on the local ones they all wrote that the Pixies were the best band in the evening, I can´t calm down! I steel think it´s a dream! They are still so alive in my head!

I couldn't be there saving money to see Dylan. Damn Dylan. Now I repent.
Thanks for your review, Rita. Hope you can write some more when you can calm down. I don't know why, but now I can't remember what happened in Barcelona, when I saw them. I use to think it was only a dream. But now I can die in peace.
Eu estive lá.
