Last night we went to see The Pixies at Aragon. It was supposed the be the first night of a two show gig but that added a third show - on Thursday. There were a good mix of people, six of us in total. We met up at Marigold for dinner. We had a bunch of yummy Indian food and were drinking Delirium - which apparently has a super high alcohol content because we were all feeling SUPER good after we walked out of there.
We had perfect timing when we got there, but the place was packed so we were stuck in the back where the vibe wasn't as good. We had fun anyways. The band sounded great! They played the full Doolittle album and then followed up with two encores. "Gigantic" is my favorite Pixies song and I saw it on the setlist for the previous night (first show in Chicago which was booked third) so I was hoping to hear it but they never played it. We got "Nimrod's Son" and "Veloria" instead. Those both rock so that's okay, but still, I would have loved to hear Gigantic.
