![]() Pixies - Sell Out: 2004 Reunion Tour Reviewby Zane Ewton![]() The return of the Pixies can be considered a rousing success. For those fans in dire need of an at-home Pixies live experience, your wish has been fulfilled. Sell Out is a no frills snapshot at the Pixies tour that took them across the world. A show at the Eruckeennes Festival in Belfort, France is the main dish culled from a typical set list of your favorites. 15 bonus tracks are picked from shows in Manchester England, New Orleans, Japan, Coachella, Scotland, Austin Texas and the homecoming of sorts in Lowell, Massachusetts. What has always been remarkable about the Pixies is exactly how unremarkable they are to look at. The songs themselves are full of such vivid imagery that the barebones stage show only magnifies how weird this band is. During the first run the Pixies made some of the worst music videos committed to film. At least in a concert DVD the crowd can provide some of the entertainment. The Pixies met crowds through this tour that were enthusiastic and appreciative, a far cry from the mayhem of their early days. If anything, it is great that the Pixies were able to cash-in (a fact Frank Black hardly hid from anyone who could read a magazine) and get some of the appreciation and devotion that they have always deserved and only cultivated throughout their absence. Who knows if they will go on to release anything new or even step on stage again? Like the live recordings that were sold at the shows, with Sell Out fans have another token from a time when a revelatory band could reunite and play as good if not better then when they started. Besides, how may other DVDs will offer you the chance to watch a big guy in the California desert sing about reincarnation while wearing black eyeliner?
