Ah, Pixies! They’re such a fascinating band, aren’t they? By the time of the live recording at The Ritz in New York on November 30, 1990, the Pixies were right in the thick of their rise to fame. They had just released their seminal album, "Doolittle," earlier that year, which really solidified their place in the alt-rock scene. "Doolittle" was packed with hits like "Monkey Gone to Heaven" and "Here Comes Your Man," showcasing their unique blend of punk, pop, and surrealism—a sound that influenced countless bands to come.
