SeanMacGabhann Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I woke up slightly worried this morningEither the gig was ace, in which case *Bob* will find himself in the awkward position of enthusing about something or it was a disappointment in which case *Bob* memories will be tarnished...Tenterhooks..

*Bob* Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 He who hesitates, Rodney.. alas, it was not to be. There were two tickets to be sold in any case, and only one of me = second choice. At least I still have my memories. And the records, of course.

mockney piers Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 It was good. Five star though? No.Keef will not be converted tonight but he will enjoy it. I found it an eeency bit lacklustre. They played the songs well, they played great songs. I spent quite a while in an odd whirl of memories of 1989, even bumping into one or two of the old crowd, which was odd to say the least.I don't know what as missing but it was noones fault. They're old, kim deal has turned into your favourite aunt with a dash of Carrie Fisher and Valerie Singleton thrown in. Frank is, well cuddly. The other guys are cool on the way that only drummers from the rolling stones or half man half biscuit can attain.I just felt old in there. Old. So.....tired. Mind you hendricks martinis til one in the morning didn't help.

Brendan Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Lacklustre my arse. They were fecking awesome. AwesomeAwesome AwesomeI don?t care how cool and cynical you are, even to *Bob*ish levels, you would have had to admit they were brilliant. Definite nostalgia act though. The memories of misspent youth came back in waves so much so that Debaser brought a tear to my eye.

Keef Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 "off whirl of memories of 1989". Therein lies the problem, in 1989 I started secondary school, and wasn't remotely in to any bands. Within 2 years, my mate had gotten me in to stuff like Black Sabbath. Had the pixies been anywhere on my young radar, I may have become a fan, but they weren't.

Brendan Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 They were the support band. They didn?t play Wave of Mutilation, Debaser, Gouge Away, or any of the other songs Pixies did.

Brendan Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 They weren?t like some old reformed acts I?ve seen where the band just go through the motions. They were fun and fresh and the songs had the same energy and life to them as they did coming out of my twin tape deck ghetto blaster in 1991. Frank Black has a voice and vocal range the size of the Grand Canyon, a shaky pan across the breadth of the Grand Canyon on black and white celluloid. You hear it on the CDs but it somehow comes alive when it?s live. As does the blistering riffage. You get a real sense of how influenced by punk* the guitar is. *That?s punk the genre of underground music spanning over 30 years not punk the flash in the pan fashion once peddled by Westwood and Mclaren.

mockney piers Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I have to say it did really make me appreciate just how influential they were. Truly groundreaking and original. Not many bands genuinely deserve that praise.The pixies, no matter how much it chagrin this may cause one, were special.
