This weekend I went to my first Pixies show, at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. I'm not a rabid Pixies fan, but they are good, and this reconciliation tour is nothing if not historic (now I'll always be able to say “I saw the first Pixies reunion tour.”). Lori made t-shirts for the event, which pretty much guaranteed that we had the coolest ones there.
Surrounded by thousands of adoring fans, most of which were more of the singing-along-with-every-song variety than the get-up-and-dance-wildly sort, you could tell it was kind of a special experience for everyone there.

I don't know if they were the same with you, but they didn't break between any songs - at all, which was .. interesting. (They all looked like they were having fun, except for Frank Black).
