Anyway, today was all about The Fray getting it started, followed by the legendary Pixies cramming 25 rapid fire classics into their co-headliner set! Do not underestimate the power of the Pixies, for this power is vast. It is such a joy to actually share the stage with them, after all the years where such a meeting would have been impossible. Tonight's weezer set revisited El Scorcho and Scott nailed "Fall Together" again. Things is runnin' right!
| The Pixies were (of course) amazing, but I'm not a huge fan of theirs, so I was just waiting for the Weez. Finally, they came on, and the background (which I thought was pretty cool) was the Make Believe background. I was, however, partially disappointed, for two reasons: 1) they didn't play for very long! They were still great though. 2) There was no Flying "W"! Scott sang lead on "Fall Together." At first, I couldn't really hear him very well because people were cheering so much, but after a while I could, and he is a pretty good singer. This was definitely the second best night of my life. The first was seeing them in Chicago at the Aragon Ballroom. ---Emily D.

| If this counts for anything, I was amazed by the Milwaukee show. I just got back and am still recovering my hearing, but I can't get over how awesome tonight was. I'm glad I got to hear El Scorcho and my favorites from Make Believe - Perfect Situation and Haunt You Every Day, and I appreciate the band's effort to get out stuff from every album- including Maladroit, which I still believe is a good CD. The band sounded really confident and well-rehearsed, and Scott rocked on vocals. There is no sign that they are getting old or "rusty" in any way. I loved the way they exited the stage. I also loved the Pixies, although they definitely didn't get the recognition they deserved from the crowd. I would have appreciated the presence of the light-up =w= and The Good Life, but I don't want to be a little bitch. It was amazing either way. Also, I have no idea if you remember or cared or noticed, but we were yelling at you while you were skateboarding by the buses. Rock on and come back soon! ---Nathan S.
