Saw the 11/21 pixies show in akron. The Datsuns opened and sucked.
Repetitive soloing, a singer with an annoying scream, and shitty sound in the gym might have hidden their abilities. I don't know.

Pixies turned in 25 songs in an hour twenty-five minutes. Hard rockin' show. Victimized by really rotten acoustics and poor overall sound, even from in front of mixing desk. Pretty standard set for the tour. Frank said nothing. Kim said hi or thanks a couple times.

Frank is in excellent voice and Kim's vocals added something the Catholics can't give. Lovering did very well on the drums. That said, I prefer the dual Dave's guitar sounds live to just one Joey. Sounds fuller, harder. The Catholics are just a lot tighter band with more
variety. I think I like their versions of Gouge, etc better.

Still, a good show by the Pixies. The J.A.R. arene in Akron has to be one of the worst places to see a band. The sound was awful, no beer sales, not even a designated smoking area (for anything). At least it was easy to get to work the next morning.
