| I'm going to the two Montreal dates next week. I'm surprised the second nights still seem to have some Bossanova/TML songs, and are relatively light on the The Night the Zombies Came. |

But surprised that we don't discuss this tour, it's going on for two weeks

I was hoping for more back-stage snippets of new songs for the next album like what we saw last year. I guess it's too early?

Went to the Bossanova/Trompe Le Monde Los Angeles show at the Palladium and it was a dream come true. Of course Doolittle and Surfer Rosa are incredible, but Bossa and Trompe were always my favorites, or it had a hold on me, for whatever reason. To see it live, and singing "Jefrey with one F, Jefrey..." was surreal and one I won't forget. They sounded good, and the whole crowd was into it. A lot of people like "Is She Weird?", specifically Gen Z (I'm a Millenial).
I might go to their August San Diego date to see them perform some Zombie songs |

Using Pet Sounds as intro music is very nice!
I joined the cult of Souled American / 'cause they are a damn' fine band |

Back from Montreal!
The first night was absolutely fantastic - maybe my favourite Pixies show I've been to. It's amazing to have seen Bossanova, TML, and TOTY in the same year. The crowd was really into it to - a new generation of Gen Z fans are joining and were having a blast crowd surfing and moshing through the night. I was surprised at how wild the crowd went for Dig For Fire, and the front half of the standing room moshed/pogoed/crowd-surfed through the first half of TML. If it weren't for the phones, I would have thought I had been transported back to the early 90s. Rarely played songs like TML and Alec Eiffel sounded excellent and got a good crowd response - they really need to be incorporated more regularly into the sets! On both nights the final cheers (and stomps) for the band were so loud that the sounds of the cheers were distorting in my ears. The band seemed a bit surprised and quite happy/appreciative at how full-throated the final applause was. The difference between Ontario and Quebec crowds is night and day.
The second night was also good. The band was in strong form, and Charles was going for it, being playful with phrasing and delivery. I'll admit that I was anxious to have a good dollop of The Night the Zombies Came songs, so was getting increasingly tense when about 15 Surfer/Doolittle songs were played after the first offering of Vegas Suite and Mercy Me. Happily they played Primrose (the song I wanted to see the most), Chicken, and Kings of the Prairie towards the end, but I was really hoping for Motoroller, or even Oyster Beds, which would have fit in more seamlessly with the more upbeat parts of the set. I suppose they did record it about two years ago, so may have moved on, but I would have liked to see Motoroller in particular, given that they tend to retire songs from new albums once the album cycle is up (except for Death Horizon, and the odd Snakes, and back in the day All the Saints). While I'd love to hear more 2.0 songs, it's hard to blame the band given how much more enthusiastic/receptive the crowd is to the old songs. I guess for the Gen Z fans, it's their first time hearing the hits live, and they go absolutely wild for them. I think next time I should just drink more beer to be more in the moment and less in my head about the setlist. |

| I have tickets to July 15th in NYC. Another show this year I'm going to by myself. Like the third one. Lately can't get anyone to see stuff with me! I enjoy "checking songs off" my list of stuff I've seen live so knocking out Boss and Trompe in one go will be really fun for me. |

| There's currently an "unknown" song listed from last night's concert on setlist.ca . I wonder if this was just a Pixies 2.0 song the compiler wasn't familiar with (Snakes?) or if they've debuted something. |
