Jaimoe Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 I have to go right now, but I thought I'd write a brief review of The Pixies show last night at Arrow Hall.The logistics of getting to Arrow Hall ( which is near Pearson International Airport ) during rush-hour is nothing short of a nightmare. It took me 2+ hours to get there from downtown Toronto. Also, Arrow Hall itself is nothing but a airport hanger, which results in sucking the atmosphere out of a crowd and a band... which it did last night. The place is cavernous, with no warmth.However, The Pixies played great and the audio, as long as you stayed in the middle, was excellent. The band was tight and Joey Santiago ripped great guitar fills on almost every song. Frank Black is a genius and a tremendous frontman and Kim Deal's bass was a perfect foil for Frank's rhythm guitar.All-in-all, it was a good show and if it were held at a better venue, The Pixies last night would have been one of the best concerts I'd seen in years. Still, I feel almost blessed to have seen them. If anyone needs a ticket for tonight's show in Toronto, my co-worker, Carla, has an extra @ face-value. You can email her at carla.wong@utoronto.ca.

briguy Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Do you recall what time they hit the stage? Tickets say doors @ 5:30. I believe The Datsuns & Marble Index opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted November 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 The Marble Index are at 7:00. Datsuns 7:45 and The Pixies at 9:00 sharp. I missed The Marble Index due to traffic, but the Datsuns rocked hard. Shredding guitars and mod/hard rock riffs for 45 minutes. I like that band.
