Pixies Crackity Jones Live Performance at VFest Toronto 2009
In August 2009, when the Pixies performed "Crackity Jones" live at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto, they were riding the wave of their comeback after reuniting in 2004. This performance came a few years after the release of their 2004 compilation album, "Wave of Mutilation: Best of the Pixies," and just before they started working on new material that would eventually lead to their 2014 album "Indie Cindy." The concert was part of a summer tour that reignited the band's original fervor, introducing newer fans to their eclectic blend of gritty sound and surreal lyrics. It's intriguing to note that the Pixies played to a diverse audience, reflecting their enduring influence across generations—many who grew up in the '80s and '90s found renewed joy in the band's captivating energy during live shows. Their ability to re-engage with fans while still pushing the envelope was a testament to their unique legacy in the rock genre.
