[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 9112544, member: 6787503"] None taken, although, as you seem to have picked up on below, I wasn't really talking about how they endeavor to recreate their records on stage, which is true, but rather that their live play list seems to consist only of songs from their first four albums, giving it the feeling of a Pixies revival show He's been in and out of the hospital since December when he was diagnosed with viral encephalitis. He was admitted again in June and is there now, I think, but is still alive AFAIK. I haven't been following the Pixies for a long time and only recently found out they've been (mostly) back together for the last nineteen years, so I'm hardly what you'd call a hardcore fan. I was just struck by how backward-looking the concert I watched on youtube, which took place last year in Germany, was for a band that's been releasing new records for the last ten years. It seems like their live show is still in reunion tour mode. The story is that frontman Shane MacGowan became averse to touring and was fired by the rest of the band in 1991. They toured as "The Pogues featuring Joe Strummer" for the rest of that year. I saw them at the Wiltern in L.A. on 10/11/1991. Looking at the set list, I'm reminded they also did the Clash's Straight to Hell and covered Brand New Cadillac, so that's four Clash songs, although two of them were covers of covers the Clash recorded. Although I was attracted by Strummer's name on the bill and am a huge fan of The Clash and Joe Strummer, it was a very different experience from seeing The Pogues with MacGowan, but at least it was what I expected. There was another Pogues show I went to before that where Shane just didn't show up, which was disappointing although I enjoyed Spider Stacy on lead vocals. It still felt like a Pogues show, whereas the show with Strummer was something else. [/QUOTE]
