Pixies Live Performance of Monkey's Gone to Heaven at Where the Action Is Festival
In June 2009, during their performance at the Where the Action Is festival in Stockholm, the Pixies had just released their album *Minotaur* a few months prior, in 2009. While *Minotaur* was a unique compilation featuring remastered versions of their earlier work, the band was primarily riding the wave of their notable reunion following a hiatus that spanned nearly a decade, which began in 1992. This resurgence was marked by their return to the stage and new live recordings that captured the raw energy fans had adored. It’s intriguing to note that *Monkey's Gone to Heaven*, featured in the live set, is a fan-favorite from their iconic *Doolittle* album, showcasing their signature blend of haunting melodies and incisive lyrics. The performance in Stockholm became a testament to how effectively the band bridged their legacy with their contemporary sound, keeping both old and new fans engaged. Isn’t it fascinating how a live moment can capture the essence of a band’s journey?
