In 2004, during their performance at the Les Eurockéennes Festival in Belfort, France, the Pixies were in a pivotal phase of their career, having reformed in 2004 after an initial breakup in 1993. This live recording came shortly after the band released "Pixies Sell Out," a compilation album that includes some of their best-known tracks and live recordings. Interestingly, this period marked their return to live performance after over a decade, reigniting their influential presence in the alternative rock scene. While the set featured many fan-favorites, notable omissions from the performance included tracks like "No. 13 Baby" and "Debaser," which showcases the band's selective approach to setlists at festivals. Their resurgence was met with enthusiasm, as they capitalized on both nostalgia and a new generation's interest in their innovative sound.
