Acoustic (Live In Newport) (2006)/ Electric (Live At The Paradise In Boston) / Pixies

"This Blu-ray repackages two previously released DVDs recorded after the reformation. "Acoustic: Live in Newport" (79 min) is from the 2005 Newport Folk Festival. This sunny afternoon on a Rhode Island beach was the band's first official acoustic set. They played selections from their entire catalog, although only one, "Subbacultcha", comes off their final album, "Trompe le Monde". Hearing these songs played with different arrangements is a treat and reveals how good the music is when stripped down. The band seems slightly nervous about the undertaking, but they do a very fine job. Of the 22 songs 7 aren't repeated in the Electric show. The "Electric" portion comes from "Club Date: Live at the Paradise in Boston" (92 min). This hometown show was performed a few days after the Newport gig to 200 lucky fans. This is a much better representation of the Pixies. They cover more material and 14 of the 29 songs weren't played during the acoustic show." (Blu-Ray Highdef Digest; volg link voor de complete tekst)
