Correct ! Bravo and Ring the Bell were never performed either.

It looks like they started to play Ring the Bell on June 7th 2015 in Toronto but abandoned it (from setlist dot com)

I was at that show and created that setlist. It was an odd show - at a small venue in Toronto after a cancelled opening slot for Robert Plant. Members of the crew came out before the band to "inform" the audience that the Pixies had not played a small venue in many years and to please keep our drinks off of the stage. It was pretty funny and amazing to literally be moshing 5 feet away from FB.

Anyway - on the setlist. I made notes throughout the show because I was worried, given the small size of the crowd, that no one else would. I used a notepad app on my cellphone. Unfortunately, my phone's screen unlocked in my pocket about mid-set (during one of the moshes) and it jumbled up my notes. Some songs were deleted and others had random jibberish text.

So I am not 100% certain on the exact order of some of the songs from around #5-#15. I'm dead certain on the start of the set and also the last-half. Luckily, I took several videos which showed transitions between songs so that helped to improve the accuracy of the list.

I know the comments I made on the setlist have been met with some skepticism on this forum. A few notes. I noted in the setlist the "extended intro" they played for Gouge Away, which the band has played at subsequent shows (I saw them twice in Europe last summer and they did a shortened version of the extended version that I first saw them play at this show). They also performed an extended version of U-Mass - basically, FB played the riff for (what felt like) 30+sec and Joey did some spacey guitar stuff.

I was hesitant to add Ring the Bell to the setlist, for two reasons. First, because they do not play the song live and they did not play it at this show. Second, because the false start that I heard was super brief and I could be mistaking it for Ring the Bell. Nevertheless, they played something and it closely resembled that high note that opens RTB. I'm not sure what else it could have been. The opening to this show was just weird in general - U-Mass and Gouge Away were these slow, meandering versions and the band seemed to be warming up to the fact that they were in the back room of a bar with fans who could reach out and touch them.

Another note on the show: they also played an extended version of In Heaven, which I did not note on the setlist website. This version was slowed down, with a spacey guitar vibe. I believe they've played it this way since (I recall them doing something similar at a show that I saw last summer - although this version in Toronto felt particularly moody, likely because it was my first time hearing it and given the intimate setting).

Finally, my note that they played a "jazz version" of Nimrod's son is admittedly a little embellished. Between the chorus and second verse, the tempo came down and FB played with a sort of jazzy swagger. They played through the second verse at this slowed pace. I can't recall if the tempo picked up for the final chorus, I just remember the song reminding me of the surf version of Wave of Mutilation.

I still doubt about Ring the Bell being played. It's strange that they didn't even try to play it again at any other show ?

Generally they have a bunch of "discarded" song(s) for every album. Seems like Bravo & Bell were the discarded ones from IC. They initially didn't even planned to do a video for Ring the Bell. They only suggested some fans to make one by accident.

Sad Punk has kind of a similar lead guitar intro.

Interesting trivia ;-)
