Don't fall into the trap. A band like the Pixies don't(and they didn't) play new material; most shows are a celebration of near 30 years of music. A replacement may hinder newer material, but for a veteran outfit it does t matter because they play their standards live and that's exactly what stand-ins/replacements excel at.

I always like to use Metallica as an example. Since Newstead(or even Clif Burton for old school curmudgeons) moved on Metallica's material has been awful, and that's being generous. Rob Trujillo just doesn't work seemingly. But after seeing them live, the band knows better. St. Anger, Death Magnetic, Load and most of Re-Load are ignored due to the fact that fans don't like them and they are artistically and creatively inferior. They play what the fans want and Trujillo doesn't fuck it up. For another example look at RHCP.
