Pixies

In November 2011, when the Pixies took the stage at the Main Street Armory in Rochester, they were riding high on the momentum of their celebrated "Doolittle" album, originally released in 1989. This live recording is a part of their "Doolittle" tour, which not only celebrated the album's legacy but also showcased the band’s enduring influence on the alternative rock scene. No doubt, you can hear the energy packed into classics like "Here Comes Your Man," a track that exemplifies their unique blend of quiet verses and explosive choruses. It’s fascinating to consider that during this period, the Pixies were reconnecting with both old fans and new audiences, reaffirming their status as pioneers. Plus, after a hiatus from the early ‘90s, their return to touring had fans buzzing about each performance. Just goes to show how even decades later, the Pixies can spark that electric feeling of nostalgia and excitement!
