Pixies

Let’s take a moment to dive into a significant slice of Pixies history, particularly around their live performance at The Orpheum in Vancouver on May 4, 2011. By this time, Pixies were enjoying a creative resurgence after their reunion, which began in 2004. The band had recently released "Doolittle 25," a special reissue of their 1989 classic that featured remastered tracks and additional content. Isn't it fascinating how a band can revisit their roots and reignite that spark years later? This Vancouver show came during a whirlwind tour where they played both new material and fan favorites. Noteworthy is the inclusion of beloved tracks like "Where Is My Mind?"—a staple that feels just as relevant today as it did in their heyday. This period reflected the band's ability to blend nostalgia with the excitement of live music, captivating the audience with their electric energy. It’s a reminder of how timeless their sound is and how it continues to resonate with both old fans and newcomers alike.
