Pixies Live Concert Performance of Tame in Toulouse
In 2010, when Pixies took the stage in Ramonville-Saint-Agne for a live performance of their iconic track “Tame,” they were deep into their post-reunion phase. This particular year marked a significant moment in their career as they had recently released “Doolittle” as part of its 20th-anniversary celebration, which had also sparked a revival of interest in their music. The band was riding high on nostalgia, with long-time fans and new listeners alike drawn to their unique sound that blends punk energy with melodic intricacies. Interestingly, they were also known for their distinctive live shows, often showcasing an electrifying atmosphere that is palpable in this performance. “Tame” exemplifies their ability to capture raw emotion, and hearing it live in a venue like Le Bikini—where the intimacy amplifies the energy—brings a wonderful sense of connection with the audience. Pixies, in this era, were on a creative roll, rekindling their influence in alternative rock.
