[bomp] Re: Boston Common vs Garden Now Pixies
One of the main reasons they stopped it was the complaints from the neighbors. My confession: I saw Berlin and the Thomson Twins on the Common. On another note, I did see the Pixies the other night and was floored. Good Lord were they good. Got to see Mission Of Burma for the first time in twenty years, also very cool. And the thing that got me is the music they played before the show. The Litter, Elevators, Standells, Sonics and Remains.
