I've been looking at Pixies setlists from 2010.
Most, if not all of the North American shows had a consistent setlist opening with the 4 b-sides, followed by Doolittle in its entirety, then an encore of 'Wave of Mutiliation (UK surf), and 'Into the White'.
In South America and Europe they seemed to play like ~30 song sets, ranging from Come on Pilgrim to even Alec Eiffel and Head On.
Were those S.A and Europe shows also considered/part of the 'Doolittle' tour, or will the Canadian upcoming Doolittle shows follow the same structure as the ones I first mentioned?

You get a bunch of miners extracted from a deep mine and they'll play you more songs in celebration.

{I would expect the smaller set}

I hear you, but even the 4 shows before The Chilean miners were rescued still had incredible setlists, such as Brazil and Italy. Were those considered part of the Doolittle tour, or just PIXIES LIVE?

All such incredible setlists. MY fingers are crossed that they do something like that in Canada.

The London shows in June were just billed as ordinary Pixies shows (albeit with the 'fans request' element).

Opened with 'Cecilia Ann' and 'Rock Music', with a great set.

if it's listed as doolittle tour, you should expect the fixed setlist, with a couple of extra songs at the end.

the 30 song shows were not part of the doolittle tour. in europe, there was already a doolittle tour in 2009. they came back with a "normal" pixies tour in 2010.


it's educational
