When did this start? I first heard it last weekend in Atlanta -- but does anyone know if they've been doing it like this regularly? If so I must've missed its mention on here.
And I think its awesome!
(if I'm remembering right -- it was a crazy 2 days)

They do it like that every once in a while. Frank's done it with the Catholics several times, also.

Yep, the slow second half of Nimrod's Son is a Catholics tradition. They've done it like that for at LEAST a couple of years now.
Catholics way > Old Pixies way.
But then again, Catholics > Pixies...

Yeah, the first time the Pixies played it this way was their first show this year at the Fine Line in Minneapolis. I had never heard the Catholics play it this way, but I loved it.

Ah, it dates back to the Trompe tour, eh?? There goes my theory about it being a clear Catholics influence on the Pixies. But still somehow I can see how Frank's style has evolved, even on the most dead-on album-version renditions of the Pixies.
I love it. Thanks all.

I think they had slowed down the end half of the song around 89. check the transatlantic cd.

| Yeah, I remember hearing a bootleg from around '89 where they slowed down the second half, and at the end Kim explains to the crowd, "We slowed it down... did you get it?" :). |

| Last night in Dallas Nimrods son was slowed down in the first half and then back to normal speed for the 2nd half. It was great. |

| I have old bootleg-CD mp3s and they've been doing this for a long time actually. I have a Live in New York, around 1991, and the play the second part slow. So it's not a Catholics thing... Maybe the early Pixies had already gotten fed up with the 20 times 1:20 min song-routine.... |

| I have an Edison Phonograph Cylinder from 1907 that has the last half of Nimrod's Son slowed down... it might just be that old technology, though. |
