Oh and WIMM sounds a bit like Dylan live
The way Frank refuses to sing the proper vocal melody in the proper time signature
if you know what I mean

If I hadn't seen the band before these shows, then the setlists are a very good mix of songs from the original run and a handful of newer ones. The sets do seem to be leaning to slightly fewer songs than we've been used to for the last decade, but it's still a great list.
I do wonder if we have a slightly similar situation to when they were promoting 'Indie Cindy' - another record with a rather troubled production and where several of the tracks never got a live airing. Again, puzzling not to hear some of the rockier songs. |

| Greens and Blues is a welcome return, but always found Snakes one of the weaker IC tracks. Still, 31 songs played on the first night in Brixton! |

| Snakes has actually become one of my favorite 2.0 songs live, feels kind of mysterious spacey weird thing |

Yeah completely agree about Snakes live. When I saw them on Head Carrier tour (2016 - can't believe that's 9 years ago now) it was one of the best songs.
Joey started with weird spacey distortions (couldn't tell what song it was going to turn into) and they extended the instrumental sections to sound like a Vamos stomp with Joey sprinkling sci fi vibes all over the place. Completely changed my view of that song because of that performance. |

| Brixton night 2 looked excellent. Most Zombies songs so far and more Bossanova stuff. |

Wow what a setlist, I thought every show on this tour would have 10 from Zombies. Took them some time.
Nice to see Death Horizon back in the set and All Over The World ánd The Happening. Who would have thought?
Some great songs by Trompe not being played after the BossaNova tour
But they will be in the American leg

Wow indeed
That is an amazing setist for sure
I bet having so many Zombies songs works both ways, you'd be psyched to hear the new songs, and then we he finally plays some classics that would really connect |

| Yeah, I'm also happy about the song selection from Zombies - most songs are in rotation except for Hypnotized, I Hear You Mary, and Johnny Goodman, as it should be. It seems Snakes has become a staple. Glad to see an IC song in there, but not near the top of my list of Pixies 2.0 songs I would like to see. |

| Band on very good form in Cardiff last night. Very classic/'hits' stacked first half. The PA dipped out during Motorway to Roswell (restored just as a reprise of the chorus hit!). |

In my book there are 5 of 6 songs of IC that I'd rather hear at a concert
Still, Snakes has a nice intro

Ziggy what did you think of the Zombies songs live?
And re: Snakes, I sometimes wonder why they pick that one over others on IC, but it's definitely really great live |

| Yeah, I remember them talking about how Snakes always seemed to play well with the crowds. Probably something to do with the driving beat. |

Mercy Me sounded wonderful, and Jane was pretty decent too. Enjoyed Primrose also. Never been a big fan of Chicken or The Vegas Suite.
Had hoped to hear the Ernest Evans/Impatient/Oyster Beds trio, but the rest of the set certainly made up for it. Was with a couple of pals, one of whom had never seen the band (but knew the 'big' songs) - both thrilled by the show.
A likely explanation regarding Snakes is that it's capoed second fret on Charles' guitar, so fits nicely back to back with some of those Zombies songs - easy to seague into without another guitar swap. |

Wow. Just wow. Saw the band twice last month, and sadly no Primrose.
Such a great melody, lovely singing and Joey is really nailing it too.

Mesmerizing
Feels like time travel back to Jefferson or something psychedelic neo folk I don’t know what
Crowd seems juiced too
Hope to hear it in the States |
