Pixies

In July 1989, when the Pixies performed live at Malibu Night Club in Lido Beach, they were right in the thick of their emerging influence on the alternative rock scene. This performance came shortly after the release of their second studio album, "Doolittle," which dropped just a few months earlier in April. "Doolittle" was a game-changer, blending pop sensibility with the punk-like rawness they were known for, and tracks like "Here Comes Your Man" and "Monkey Gone to Heaven" were capturing the attention of both critics and fans alike. Interestingly, the band's chaotic sound and dynamic energy were evident in this live recording, a prime example of their captivating stage presence. It’s worth noting that this concert occurred during a pivotal moment in their career—just before they truly burst into the mainstream rock consciousness. It’s almost like you can hear the brewing intensity of a band on the verge, doesn’t it?
