Pixies Live Performance of Hey at Zenith in Paris
In October 2009, when the Pixies took the stage at Le Zénith in Paris, they were riding high on the waves of their 2004 album, "Indie Cindy," which marked their return after a decade-long hiatus. This live performance came just after releasing their "Wave of Mutilation: Best of Pixies," a compilation that celebrated their legacy while also reminding fans of their profound influence on the alt-rock scene. One fascinating tidbit about this concert is that it was part of a European tour celebrating the band's reunion, where they combined classic hits with new material, creating a thrilling mix for long-time fans. The energy in the venue must've been incredible—imagine a crowd singing along to "Hey," which showcases the band's unique blend of gritty guitars and melodic hooks. The Pixies were truly at a pivotal moment in their career, reconnecting with fans while forging ahead in their musical journey.
