It's Alphabetical
June 8, 2005
I went to see the Pixies last night at the Murat Theatre. It was spendid. My pal Jason scored front row tickets for us. Thanks again Jason - way to go!The sound seemed a bit "quiet" (relatively speaking, that is) from the front row and the band didn't appear to miss a single note on any song - which is pretty good given the 14-year hiatus. I think it sounded "quiet" because the P.A. system was up too high and was shooting the music over our heads. Nevertheless, I couldn't have had a better time and I stood there dancing and singing along the whole show with a giant, childish grin on my face. I'd waited far too long for this.
I've ordered my copy of the show from PixiesDiscs.com and can't wait to hear it again.
About three or four songs into the set, I mentioned to Jason that I sensed some sort of bizarre order to the songs and suggested that, with exception of the first track, the set list might be chronological. I was wrong. There was a theme, alright, but it wasn't chronological, it was alphabetical! Apparently, it was the first such set of the Pixies Reunion, it was also the longest so far of this leg of the tour. Lucky me. (and several thousand other folks)
