The desert was hot, but it was still one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen. One can relate by thinking of something that you have been admiring for your entire life and than seeing them live only after you thought that they were dead forever. It's like Kurt Cobain never really killed himself and was now living with Elivis,(which would never really happen, but you can humor me for now)or John Lennon was found alive after years of thinking you would never get to see the beatles. The Pixies are like "the grandfather" of indie rock. They are the influence of almost every indie band you hear today. So needless to say, this experience alone, goes in the books for being one the best. Not to mention that aside from the Pixies,we saw The Cure(who never tour btw, absolutely unforgettable)Radiohead, The Flaming Lips, The Sounds, Beck (not so good),Stellastar (amazing), Erase Errata, Kinky, Atmosphere, Belle and Sebastian and many more that I can not remember.
The weekend was long and hot and if we had to do it all over again we would never fly into L.A. and under estimate the traffic. With that being said, check out some of my pics
