Pixies in Akron
Went to see The Pixies last night in Akron.
They were great. I never got to seem them before the break up. I’ve seen Frank Black solo, David Lovering play with Cracker, and Kim Deal at the Euclid Tavern hanging out for a GBV show.
The show was at Rhodes arena. It’s the University of Akron’s basketball gym. I saw Nirvana there on Halloween some time ago.
The Datsuns opened up. They have that Dazed & Confused movie soundtrack essence to them. I didn’t care for them, but the crowd was nice enough not to boo.
You should go see them if they are anywhere near you. I bought the disclive CD of the show and will probably play a lot of it on Wednesday’s show.
Here’s the set list.
