Seen 'em

I guess we old geezers are the lucky ones.
I got to see the Pixies as an opening band in the late 80's for then darlings and 4AD lablemates, "Throwing Muses" just after Surfer Rosa was released. This was at a fairly small venue called the iBeam in SF, CA. At the time, my friends and I had know idea who they were but we were mightily impressed.
Great show! Kim was a bit more comely then and ran around the stage a whole lot more. But after seeing them recently, they still have their chops and do a good show. Recommended.

i saw them this summer at Landsdowne Rd in Dublin, it was a good gig, and IMO they really showed up the support; Kings of Leon - who just seemed to be going through the motions.
Kim croaked, started to cough and then broke into a fit of laughter when she went for the first "ooohhhh...." for 'Where is my mind?' and they started the song again after a couple of minutes... theyve really aged quite a bit but its good to see them out on the road again.
The crowd were mostly teens and 20somethings, but ranged from peeps in their 30s & 40s to that of their kids in single figures: there was a really nice vibe that night.

Wish ya'll coulda seen Kim in her prime. She used to run around like a maniac and still hit the notes. REALLY. I guess when she hung out with folks like GVB's Robert Pollard, you'll end up smoking and drinking yourself outta contention.
