Pixies

On October 31, 1986, the Pixies took the stage at T.T. the Bear’s Place in Cambridge, Massachusetts, showcasing their raw energy and eclectic sound during an era when they were on the cusp of making a significant mark in the alternative rock scene. Just before this live recording, they had released their debut album, *Come On Pilgrim*, earlier that year. This EP featured tracks that already hinted at their signature blend of punk and surrealism, setting the stage for the groundbreaking *Surfer Rosa*, which would follow in 1988. The Cambridge performance encapsulated the youthful spirit of a band still in their early days, capturing a live essence that some fans say was unmatched. Notably, this venue was a proving ground for countless bands over the years, making it a little gem in music history; and who knew then that Pixies would eventually influence a whole generation of artists?
