I saw the Pixies perform at the Aragon Brawlroom this evening, what a fantastic concert.  They sold out 5 nights in Chicago, and now I can understand why.  They have been gigging almost every night since April 13 on this tour, that has got to be some hard work.  I was not fortunate enough to see the Pixies before they broke up years ago, (probably working the evening they were in the city).   I have appreciated their music ever since they put out the first album, I was an fan in the early 90's.  However, I did see Frank Black play in Chicago in a special performance with Joey Santiago on guitar, good, but not as good as what I saw tonight. 

This evening was quite a performance, hit after hit in succession, and many of the songs were shadowed over the crowd singing and yelling the lyrics.  It was a slightly older crowd too, people my age... it was interesting to watch this group of people rock out, let loose a little and have fun.
