Pixies

On April 24, 2011, when the Pixies took the stage at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium in St. Paul, they were in an exciting phase of their career, marked by their 2004 reunion tour and the subsequent live album release, “Live in Tokyo” in 2004, which highlighted their enduring popularity. This performance was part of their ongoing reunions and tours celebrating their legacy, spanning early classics such as "Surfer Rosa" and "Doolittle," rather than promoting new studio material at that time. Interestingly, "Here Comes Your Man," a fan favorite, was part of their set that night, showcasing the band's unique blend of loud-quiet dynamics and black humor—which they've been famous for since their formation in 1986. This live recording illustrates the Pixies' ability to captivate audiences even years after their initial success, proving just how timeless their influence remains in the alt-rock scene.
