The 15-song performance includes most of Come On Pilgrim performed live a long time before it was released. This anniversary release is a three disc set, since Live From The Fallout Shelter – a very early radio concert that first aired in late 1986 on on WJUL-FM in Lowell, MA – is included as a bonus disc. This includes Where Is My Mind?, which was memorably featured right at the end of David Fincher’s 1999 film, Fight Club. Six months later the influential debut album proper, Surfer Rosa, was issued. Come On Pilgrim… It’s Surfer Rosa is a forthcoming 30th anniversary deluxe edition that brings together Pixies‘ eight-track mini-album Come On Pilgrim and the band’s full-length album Surfer Rosa.Ĭome On Pilgrim was originally issued in September 1987, its eight tracks taken (in remixed form) from the so-called Purple Tape (which contained 17 early demos).
