I attended this one, more from this year in my gig history for 1996. I have seen Frank Black probably six times; Portsmouth Pyramids (1996), Camden Underworld ('00), Reading Festival ('01), Pixies @ Brixton Academy (2004), Pixies @ Brixton Academy (2004), + Pixies @ Brixton Academy (2025), though I still have some bragging tagging to do so this may go up. Part of every gig I was at from '87 to 2026. It's an obvious step from my Best Gigs Ever weblog post. Yeah I know it's a bit geeky, let's let that go though, I'm enjoying reminiscing about this stuff.
