Pixies

Live at the Paradise in Boston (Eagle Vision)

Imagine 90 minutes of indie rock perfection, from “La La Love You” to “Caribou,” with only 200 of your closest friends. The Pixies stole 2004 with a successful reunion tour, and after the summer festivals, they returned home to Boston’s Paradise. The results are intimate and playful, and with 12 bonus songs recorded on Halloween 1986 at T.T. the Bear’s in Boston (VHS-quality but still very cool), Live at the Paradise is, as the jacket says, “the gig you always dreamt you’d be at.”
