I've seen the Pixies three times, 2 at festivals and one at a normal venue gig and have walked away disappointed every single time. It's a shame because I love a lot of their studio material, along with some of Frank Black's solo stuff, but I just can't get into them live. The only other band who I can say have totally disappointed me when playing live is the Strokes, but I've only seen them post-breakup/reunion. I would have loved to have seen them in their prime in the early 2000's, just as I would love to take a hot tub time machine and go back to the late 80's when I'm sure the Pixies would have rocked my socks.
