Pixies kicked off their North American tour last week in South Carolina with an audience friendly set of familiar favorites from their groundbreaking albums of the late-’80s and ’90s.
Fresh off the heels of a European Tour where they played both 1990’s Bossanova and 1991’sTrompe le Monde in their entirety, the quartet from Boston seem to be happy giving the Americans more of a greatest hits show.
Which is perfectly ok with America, if I may speak for the nation.
While it’s true I just praised Pearl Jam for digging deep into its new album and leaving a few fan favorites on the bench, Pixies do not have a best-selling collection of fresh material to support, so why not just give the people what they want: the music they either grew up with or heartily embraced when they were in college.
