A return to see a fantastic live band, on a most welcome return to London. Before the gig, I took the brave step of ordering a professionally-recorded and mastered double CD of the gig, from pixiesdiscs.
Every Pixies set seems to be a different one, such is the depth of material that they have - you usually get about 30 songs over an hour and a half. Tonight didn't disappoint, although the perennial difficulty of getting to and from Alexandra Palace is always an annoyance.
The Futureheads did well in support, although the echoes around the venue during their set were a touch embarrassing (why did they have the support band on so quietly?).
The Pixies ruled the place for an hour and a half, with non-stop classics, one after the other. A great gig, one that makes you feel happy inside as you're leaving.
