pixies - pukkelpop - 190805

one word ... amazing ... 28 songs in about 1.5 hours ... some songs less than 2 minutes long ... the gig flies by ... kim deal constantly with a sigaret hanging from her lips ... black francis not saying a word to the audience, suddenly he goes yeaaah, we all are aha he's talking to us ... nope ... the shout was part of the next song ... great ... more ... please ...

other good gigs these days: annie / audio bullys / franz ferdinand / grimbergenstand / viva voce / arsenal

and de mens in a small tent ... another amazing gig and end of the festival ... the audience keeps on shouting "irene, niemand heeft ooit zo mooi, neen tegen mij gezegd", even when the roadies start their job ... in full light they come a last time to greet us ... later that night, at the campingsite you could here everywhere the same line ... superb ... en 't is waar, niemand heeft ooit zo mooi neen tegen mij gezegd ...

bad points: i missed the arcade fire ... by then i didn't know them yet, so i was warming up for the pixies ... afterwards i heard and read that their show was highly entertaining ... unforgivable ...
