I'm happy this is happening for everyone! I had the good fortune to hear Superabound back with the Catholics, I'm sure this is going to be a lot of fun for all involved!
Agreed about the Pixie, songs; heck, I figure for Frank it's going to be fun to have a break from those.
Why on earth would anybody want to hear a Pixies song on a TOTY tour?

I went to a Stephen Malkmus solo concert a few years ago. The crowd was totally anemic (as always in Paris), and then for the last song of the encore he played Summer Babe and suddenly all those 45-years old bald guys started dancing and shouting the lyrics. I hated the whole evening.

Sounds awful, and I love Malkmus

Not sure if this has been discussed or not but is it confirmed that he'll be playing TOTY in tracklist order? Or not in order and mixed with other songs from the first album? I'd probably prefer the latter to keep it a bit more unpredictable. I also hope he mixes the setlist up from show to show just like the good old days.
No, beyond the press release confirming the album will be played "in full'. Plus by adding the fifth band member (Rob Laufer) on additional keys, bass and guitar, it looks like we'll be getting a more faithful replication of the album than those 94/95 dates.
