It's hard not to like The Pixies. This concert film chronicled the 2004 reunion of the band, which Cobain said Nirvana would open up for if it ever happened (and had he not taken his own life). It provides an up-close and personal intimate look into the band, along with splendid concert footage and audio. Definitely world class. It was refreshing to see the honesty with which bassist Kim Deal dealt with her sobriety while on tour (asking the band to keep all alcohol away from the backstage and dressing rooms), but sad to see the drummer start to fall apart on drugs after losing his dad to cancer before the tour finished.

It does provide some awesome live footage and strong editing. The Pixies like you may never see them again.
