Well worth watching a full concert of nothing but Come on Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa material. You'll find all the traits, including Kim leaning back fairly far from the mic, are the same then as now. At least for that show. If you use Netflix, the Town and Country Club concert is free on-demand. Well worth watching a full concert of nothing but Come on Pilgrim and Surfer Rosa material.

I haven't really watched much of their older concerts, so I couldn't be sure. Plus my memory of that Bumbershoot set is spotty. I wished they had turned up Kim's vocals too (but it also looked like she had a tendency to lean away from the mic while singing).

I saw them at Slain Castle in Dublin and was surprised by the almost mechanical accuracy of the live show. The Pixies is not a band that you judge in degrees. They are always DEAD ON!

But going back to the concert dvd's I've seen such as Live From Town and Country Club from 1988, all the footage from Loud Quiet Loud, and their performance at Bumbershoot several years back, they never really had a dynamic stage presence. The music IS their show. I do wish they had turned up Kim Deal's vocals though. All in all it was one of the best sounding concerts I've yet seen at The Paramount.
