The organizers of Slovakian Pohoda Festival wrote on their website that Pixies will play there on 14th July. Check www.pohodafestival.sk for more. They didn't published it on English version of the web, so there's my amateur translation.
American alternative legend - The Pixies - will be headliner of the first festival day. Great and influential band characterized by dynamic contrasts, mixture of punk, pop and indie rock. In summer, Pixies will play eight concerts in Europe, they will start their tour on our fest. To take Pixies to Slovakia has been our dream. The dream will become reality on Friday, 14th July. |

So, second Pixies concert in two days. And again, it was also very fantastic, great performance but different conditions. Outdoor gig, fine weather and lots of people. But the concert was almost same as Prague one.
Setlist (I tried to work on order, but still I am not sure about it)
Bone Machine
Crackity Jones
Broken Face
Levitate Me
Cactus
Gouge Away
Gigantic
Caribou
Debaser
Monkey Gone To Heaven
River Euphrates
No 13 Baby
Tame
Mr. Grieves
Hey
Subbacultcha
Alec Eiffel
Planet Of Sound
U - Mass
Wave Of Mutilation
encore
Here Comes Your Man
La La Love You
Vamos
Where Is My Mind
In comparison with Prague gig they played No 13 Baby instead of Dead and shortened the encore. The rest of the songs and their order was same. And Vamos was longer, Joey did more feedbacks and Dave threw him drumstick to make noise with. I enjoyed this gig very much, the atmosphere was amazing but it cant beat the Prague performance for me - the first gig is the best. |

Great reports all round appleworm. Those of us who have been there feel as though we were there. And you're right: for the fortunate, first is best. Long live the Frank monster!
