Proving what we already know to be true, New Zealand is a great place….to start off a world tour! Normally, bands play NZ at the end of grueling world tours, but the recently reunited Pavement chose Auckland to perform for the first time together in close to 10 years.
Yeah, I’m too cheap and too geographically isolated to have made the gig, but I can revel in the setlist…
‘In The Mouth A Desert’
‘Trigger Cut’
‘Loretta’s Scars’
‘Shady Lane’
‘Father To A Sister Of Thought’
‘Rattled By The Rush’
‘Perfume-V’
‘Summer Babe’
‘Kennel District’
‘Silence Kit’
‘Range Life’
‘Unfair’
‘Stop Breathing’
‘No Life Singed Her/442′
‘Fight This Generation’
‘Date W/IKEA’
‘Box Elder’
‘Grounded’
‘Gold Soundz’
‘The Hexx’
‘Give It A Day’
‘Cut Your Hair’
‘Stereo’
‘Spit On A Stranger’
Love that they played ‘Stereo’ and ‘Cut Your Hair’ as part of their encore!
Dig out all your old Pavement for a nostalgia kick…or take in the classic 90′s video for ‘Cut Your Hair’.
