Pixies

In 2011, when the Pixies performed "Monkey Gone to Heaven" at the Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee, they were riding the wave of their post-reunion resurgence. This concert came just two years after the group released "Doolittle" in its 2009 remastered glory, igniting a nostalgic fervor among fans old and new. Interestingly, their influence on the alternative rock scene has been profound; many contemporary bands cite them as a key inspiration. The fact that they played such an iconic song—originally from their 1989 album "Doolittle"—during this live recording underscores their commitment to his classic material while reconnecting with a devoted fanbase. It’s also a reminder of the innovative spirit that defined their early work—a blend of elements that remains wildly engaging even twenty years later. So really, watching that performance in Milwaukee, you can't help but feel the electricity of their legacy still reverberating today.
