create_destinyYesterday, some friends and I drove three hours from Chico to UC Berkeley to see the Pixies. It was a Sunday afternoon show slated to start at 3:00 pm. We barely had time to scarf down some "King Dong" Chinese a few blocks from the university before scampering off to the venue.
There were two opening bands, Knife and Fork from the Bay area, and The Thrills. I liked Knife and Fork's lead singer Laurie Hall. Her deep, sultry voice is reminscent of Courtney Love's guttural groans. Knife and Fork are also opening for a PJ Harvey show at the Fillmore coming up in a few weeks.
The Pixies burst on stage a little after 5:00 pm, launching into "Bone Machine."
Pixies set list:
-Bone Machine
-Ed is Dead
-Isla de Encanta
-Caribou
-Dead
-No. 13 Baby
-Wave of Mutilation
-Debaser
-Cactus
-Monkey Gone to Heaven
-Gouge Away
-U-Mass
-Rock Music
-Crackity Jones
-Subbacultcha
-Mr. Grieves
-Here Comes Your Man
-Nimrod's Son
-Winterlong
-In Heaven (The Lady In The Radiator Song)
-Wave of Mutilation [slower version, Frank on acoustic]
-Vamos
-Where is my Mind
Encore:
-?
-Tame
-Hey
-Gigantic
Frank Black has gotten a little husky over the years. Kim Deal wore an extremely bright-orange long-sleeved shirt and brown corduroys, looking as good as ever. They only played for an hour and 20 minutes but they rocked solid and I was hanging on every riff.
Some butt-wad journalist wrote in the current SF Weekly that the Pixies don't deliver a good live show, but that guy needs to repent and come to Jesus because he's just that wrong.

There were some moments of temporary lostness, but we quickly recovered.

As for my beating anyone up... nope. Nobody needed any physical beatdowns this time around.
