Those who attended the Wang Theater on Friday and Saturday night were given a rare treat: the most influential band that Boston has produced rocked the house. This Pixies tour was to honor the 20th anniversary of the release of their critically acclaimed album "Doolittle". Just this month, the Pixies released a comprehensive collection of all of their studio albums called "Minotaur". "Minotaur" includes all five albums on all the following formats: 24-karat gold CDs, Blu-ray DVDs, DVDs mastered for 5.1 surround sound, a book of the artwork that went into the creation of the covers and liner notes, and a previously unreleased Pixies 1991 live performance from Brixton.
