Pixies

In July 1989, during their performance at the Rock Werchter Festival in Belgium, Pixies were riding high on the success of their second studio album, "Doolittle," which had been released just a few months earlier, in April 1989. "Doolittle" marked a significant step in the band's evolution, showcasing their unique blend of punk and surf rock influences, alongside surreal lyrical content. This album not only cemented their reputation as pioneers of the alternative rock movement but also included iconic tracks such as "Here Comes Your Man" and “Monkey Gone to Heaven.” The period surrounding this live recording was crucial for the Pixies, as they were gaining considerable recognition in the music scene, which eventually contributed to their influence on a range of subsequent artists in the 1990s and beyond. This performance encapsulates the band's energetic stage presence and the burgeoning excitement of their growing fan base.
