Pixies: Acoustic and Electric Live

Even if you don’t count yourself among the thousands of Pixie fans who already purchased these two shows separately, there’s a lot to like about this concert set. Sure, the music is great, but it’s the interaction of the band members as they play that makes the Pixies worth watching. Start with the Electric set and see them tear up The Paradise in front of a small audience of dedicated fans, then watch the same band play an Acoustic show at, of all things the Newport Folk Festival. The comparison is amazing, as is watching them in the bonus show shot at T. T. The Bears in 1982.
