Pixies Live Performance of Silver at Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee
In April 2011, when Pixies rocked the Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee, they were riding a wave of nostalgia and renewed vigor. This live performance showcased their track “Silver,” a song from their 1989 album *Doolittle*, which remains a standout in their discography. Interestingly, the band had reunited in 2004 and was actively touring and recording again, reigniting old flames while charming a new generation of fans. By this time, they had also released an EP titled *EP2* in 2014, but during this particular concert, the energy was electric, drawing on their legacy rather than new material. It’s noteworthy how they managed to blend their dynamic punk sound with a hint of surrealism, creating an experience that resonated deeply with both longtime followers and newcomers alike. Pixies' signature approach was evident, reminding everyone why they are often hailed as pioneers of alternative rock.
