New Pixies Live Double

Posted by: throbnorth on 14 November 2004

Well, actually 17 [at last count] different live doubles, and what's more only £6.47 a pop.

Seemingly all concerts from their recent US tour are available as high quality 256kb downloads from the Official Pixies Store:

I plumped for the 10.4.04 Columbia concert, and found it to be excellent quality [straight from the desk stuff & perfectly worthy of a commercial release]. It sounds very good through the iPod - although I did have to whack the volume up a bit - and at 256kb, you could burn a pretty respectable pair of CDs.

I'd be interested in comparing notes if any of you are tempted by one of the others. It's a great idea, and the ability to preview and some downloadable artwork would make it perfect .
