Really good video. Most of the songs translate to acoustic really well. Compared to "Pixies Sell-out", this has quite a very different, more subtle dynamic. Francis's weird, edgy lyrics become much clearer. A good thing! Stand-outs: "Mr. Grieves", "Wave of Mutilation", "Gauge Away", "Hey" and "Debaser"...from the BTS docu. Excellent behind-the-scenes bonus footage. You get an intimate view of the band working out the new arrangements.
all the songs are great because the pixies never made a bad song this dvd is great
This DVD isn't going to blow any non-Pixies fans away, but if you love The Pixies like I do then pick this up.
I agree with another reviewer that if you haven't heard the Pixies, this isn't a good place to start. Its really gritty and Black's voice isn't as polished or practiced as in a studio CD.
Wow though, I get chills in River Euphraties when Black yells "one sip FROM THE SALTY WINE" so raw and so good. I think the quality is pretty good considering they are doing -in acoustic- their old albums from 15 some years ago.
You have to love when Black yelps like a dog in Crackity Jones, I LOVE IT!
Also Kim Deal is solid throughout and still has a pretty voice.
If you like the Pixies, you can't go wrong with this disk. Even though the songs are acoustic, the raw energy pours through in classic Pixies style.
