PIXIES Live Performance of Planet of Sound at Flowers Festival in Turin, Italy
When the Pixies performed at the Flowers Festival in Turin, Italy, on July 21, 2016, they had just released their critically acclaimed album "Head Carrier" the previous year. This marked a significant moment in their career as it was a comeback of sorts, following their split in 1993 and subsequent reunion in 2004. Interestingly, "Head Carrier" showcased a more polished sound, yet still retained the distinctive fuzz and intensity that fans loved. During this live recording, you can almost feel the energy of their dedicated followers, which is testament to their enduring influence in alternative rock. Plus, with the band embracing new material while layering in classic hits, it really highlighted their ability to connect with both old and new fans alike. The performance was vibrant, reminding everyone why the Pixies remain such a beloved force in music today.
