Pixies

In February 1992, when the Pixies performed on "The Dennis Miller Show," they had just recently released their influential album *Trompe le Monde*. This album, their last before their initial breakup, marked a significant milestone in their career. Released in 1991, it showcased their signature blend of noise rock and melodic hooks, and tracks like "Planet of Sound" became quintessential parts of their live set. Interestingly, *Trompe le Monde* was produced with the help of Gil Norton, who had already worked with the band on their previous albums, cementing a powerful collaboration that defined their sound. During this time, the band was experiencing both critical acclaim and a growing cult following, laying the groundwork for their later reunion and continued influence in alternative rock. The live recording captures this unique moment—highlighting their dynamic stage presence and the raw energy that became a hallmark of their performances.
