Given that this will sell itself, I'll keep the text brief. I never subscribed to the notion that the Pixies peaked on their first two albums,
Surfer Rosa and
Doolittle, urgent and incendiary as they were. Their final album with the original Francis/Deal/Santiago/Lovering lineup,
Trompe le Monde was hardly a slouch
, surging from one euphioric blast to another. This live boot captures the Pixies at the nadir of what was expected to
be their final run (an ongoing reunion would commence in 2004). They
hardly shied away from the then-current
Trompe... material, and the gig was all the stronger for it (though they really should've shoehorned "Planet of Sound" somewhere into the setlist).

Sorry, can you clarify when this recorded? Your description sounds like this was recorded during the Trompe tour, but the headline of the post gives the date as 2016.
12-22-91 per the ID3 tags on the rip.
Big typo there! The year is actually 1991. Thanks for pointing this out.
