What's next for Pixies after last night's "Doolittle" show?

I've now more Pixies gigs in reunion mode than I did back in their original go-round (four since 2004 vs. three pre-1993), so I think I can go ahead and say it with authority: They're a better band now than they ever were back then, at least on stage. Sunday night's show at Roy Wilkins Auditorium was probably my second favorite of the bunch after the now-legendary Fine Line show in '04. They didn't just sound tight -- which is to be expected of playing the same record night after night -- but they sounded truly enlightened and rejuvinated, like they were just damn happy to be there and have fans geeking out over songs they probably thought they'd never play again. The only downside of the 90 minute concert was the lack of post-"Doolittle" material. Maybe they're saving that for the next tour.

Actually, it begs the question: What is next for the Pixies after this "Doolittle" tour? They remain uncommitted to making a new record, although I actually think they would fare better at it than most reunited bands do. Even if they don't go that route, they could indeed do a tour showcasing other material. Heck, they'd probably fare well doing what Cheap Trick did with its first three albums in the '90s and My Morning Jacket just pulled with its five discs last year: Play each of their records in their entirety over multiple nights, combining "Come On Pilgrim" and "Surfer Rosa" on the first night. Now that would be something to geek out over.
