Sorry if this is old, I haven't been paying attention really.
quote: PIXIES TO OFFER LIVE RECORDINGS OF SHOWS ON LEG TWO OF REUNION TOUR
If you missed out on one of the now-collectible PIXIES' live discs which were released over the course of the band's sold-out 13-city "warm up" tour earlier this year, well, opportunity is shining down on you. The special limited edition "Pixies Live" CDs are also making a comeback.
Pixies, headlining what is without a doubt the hottest reunion in ages, announce that beginning with tonight's Minneapolis date at the Wilkes Auditorium, they will record every show on Leg Two of their "comeback tour of the year," making a CD of that show available for sale that night. As on the April dates, the Pixies' traveling caravan will include a DiscLive truck that will have the capacity to record and manufacture the CDs on the spot. Only 1,000 CDs will be made of every show (except for Toronto where 1,500 CDs will be made), and when the CDs are gone, they're gone - no more will be produced.
Starting immediately, 500 CDs from the remaining Leg Two concerts can be pre-ordered at the DiscLive site (wwwdisclive.com). If all 500 "Pixies Live" CDs from any given show are pre-sold, then only 500 will be available for purchase the night of the concert; pre-orders can be picked up at the respective concert, or mailed to the buyer. All "Pixies Live" CDs purchased at a concert or via DiscLive following a concert will be priced at $25.00; those purchased at the DiscLive site as a pre-order will also sell for $25.00. Should the buyer choose to have the CD mailed, shipping and handling charges will apply.
Point of sale stations will be set up at all tour venues where fans can purchase a voucher before the show begins, then turn in that voucher some 10-15 minutes following the show, at which time they'll be handed a double CD of that night's performance, complete with artwork that will include the concert's date and location. Fans can also opt to have the CD mailed to them; any CDs that do not sell that night will be available for purchase at DiscLive's site (wwwdisclive.com).
For Leg Two of this Reunion Tour, Pixies have already shattered past sales records in numerous venues - more than 26,000 tickets were sold in minutes for the band's unprecedented seven night/eight show December run at New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom; Pixies also sold 22,000 tickets for a record-setting, five-night November run at Chicago's Aragon Ballroom. Sell-outs have also occurred for shows in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Toronto, Orlando, Vancouver, San Francisco, Kansas City, Detroit, Montreal, Lowell, Los Angeles, Phoenix and others.

NOVEMBER 9 Milwaukee Theatre, Milwaukee, WI 10-11 Roy Wilkins Auditorium, St. Paul, MN 13-17 Aragon Ballroom, Chicago, IL 18 State Theatre, Detroit, MI 20 Fox Theatre, Detroit, MI 21 Rhodes Arena, Akron, OH 22 State Theatre, Detroit, MI 24-25 Arrow Hall, Toronto, ONT 26-27 CEPSUM Arena, Montreal, QUE 28 Arena Robert Guetin, Hull, QUE 30 Mullins Center, Amherst, MA
