When the Pixies remind us, as they have today, that their groundbreaking “Doolittle” album is 20 years old, does this mean we can start calling the pre-grunge alternative nation era classic rock? Call it what you will (ed. suggestion: nostalgia), but that record was brilliant and dynamic, and good enough that the Boston quartet plans on surfing that wave of mutilation on a tour across the U.S. and Europe.

Promising to play all of the tracks from the 1989 4AD/Elektra release, as well as the B-sides (think “Weird at My School,” “Dancing the Manta Ray” and “Bailey’s Walk”), the Pixies will kick off their tour at the recently remodeled Hollywood Palladium. “We wanted to do something special for ‘Doolittle’s’ 20th anniversary,” Black Francis said in the band’s announcement of the concerts, “and we thought this was a good opportunity to play all of the songs from that album, something we don’t normally do at a regular gig.”

Although many credit “Doolittle” as being the vehicle that really launched the careers of the Pixies (and subsequent solo projects by Black Francis/Frank Black and Kim Deal), the album didn’t spend much time on the U.S. pop charts. Not to be overlooked is the video above created by one of the first YouTube phenoms, Tasha and Dishka of Israel, whose lip-synched tribute to the Doolittle hit “Hey” has been seen more than 27 million times.

One year I was desperately keen to see Led Zeppelin playing live. I’d read about a one-off gig that they were playing in my local area and I really had to go. Led Zeppelin had been my favorite band for years and years but I’d never had the chance to see them live since I first saw them on their original tour years before. I checked the venues which would be selling tickets and made a note of the time they were going on sale.

The next day I hurried down to the nearby ticket office – just 10 minutes away from where I lived. Knowing that it was so close by I wasn’t too worried about getting up really early that morning. So I stepped out of my front door with a little more than two hours to spare, getting really excited about the prospect of seeing my all-time favorite band performing live. I was absolutely buzzing with excitement. In the end I ran up to the ticket office, not because I was worrying about queues, but because I was just that full of adrenalin I simply had to let off some steam!

All was well. I got to the ticket office with plenty of time to spare – two hours in fact. As I stepped inside I could almost feel the ticket in my hand. Wandering up the narrow staircase I could feel my heart racing until I turned the corner and saw the inside of the building had been turned into one giant queue. My heart sank; I thought I’d never be able to get a ticket with so many people in front of me. It took me 2 hours to find out that I was correct – waiting in line to find out that there weren’t enough tickets left me feeling really down. If you’ve ever got so excited about something that ends up not happening, you’ll know what it feels like.

Then it occurred to me. Although the tickets had sold out, I’d almost certainly be able to pick up a few from the ticket touts. I decided to keep an ear out for any tickets being sold on, but as the concert date neared I still hadn’t heard of any tickets being sold. Finally the day of the concert came. I thought my best bet would be to turn up at the stadium where the gig was being held and look for touts hanging around outside. After waiting around in the chilly air for almost an hour I finally found someone willing to sell me a ticket. It came at a price though; it was six times as much as the original selling price! When I finally got to the door, the bouncer told me my ticket was a fake and I was turned away empty handed and out of pocket!
