I have the feeling this is the performance Frank Black has tried to reproduce every other time he performed this song after that. Also, I love this song.
I think the footage stopes being RARE when it's on youtube with 80 thousand hits. However, if you were referring to finding a band as good as Pixies, than I agree.
For me this song sums up the whole loud-quiet business. Frank sings a few lines, then there's half a minute while he's got time to have a drink and wander around the stage a bit. He returns to the mic., screams a few more lines, the whole thing repeats a couple of times, and at the end I'm left thinking I just heard the greatest song ever.
@frootloopwarriors, if you read the description by the uploader "einzack", you will see , "The audio on the video is not of a quality of the official release so I synched the two sources up."
i just saw the pixies acoustic and they lost a lot with acoustic instruments, and when i see this video i think rock stars change with the time, now they are old and dont rock like before, rock should be made by young people
To be young. I was 15 then and their music was the vanguard that ironically brought on the stuff from Seattle being that they were from Boston. Chuck's voice just makes you want ot kick ass. They were also one of the first bands that I remember started writing songs about dark matter and not flowery "november rain" or "cherry pie" or any other BS around at the time.
One thing (there are several) that separates the Pixies sound from all the rest is the lead guitar chords and style.
The way its used more to set sonic "textures" and overlays -> rather than to actually play notes in a lead melody like the lead is in 98% of the music out there.
Truly a novel concept then and now that I think in large part defines their sound. Kinda why I think Joey gets ripped off on the recognition front when people talk about Pixies. Taking a back seat to Charles + Kim
@thedayitriedtodie Of course I don't expect anyone to be 25 forever, but when a person who is 45 looks like they're in their 50's it's usually because of self abuse.
They were underrated then; they're still underrated now. And yet they've been covered by David Bowie, The Frames, The White Stripes, and countless other bands that aren't underrated. Pixies deserve so much more respect. The world just wasn't ready for their sound yet. And still isn't perhaps. But they move me, and that's all I need to know.
After the second verse with the guitar chugging hard, and then the explosion of vocals....one of my favorite parts of any song ever made. I will never get enough of it. Eargasm.
It's awesome how the video completely fits the music... Like it's from the same concert... I know that the song is the same, but bands always do something different live and here it fit till the end.
@einzack Oh I misunderstood the text in the info. I read you used audio from a CD but now I saw you wrote the footage is from the same concert. My bad.
The Pixies do sound very different live, I have to agree with you on that.
Do they sound bad? Idk. My opinion is skewed, as I already liked them before I heard them live. I maintain, however, that there old live performances were good, whereas their more recent ones are not as good (especially Black Francis's singing, hahaha)
Hahaha internet tough talk, you out me in my place. But you know that isn't going to happen. Do you really wanna catch a flight over to my country just to scrap it out. I'll let you fight my little sister if you like, shes about your size. Let me know.
Mr. Charles Thompson, You have the most amazing and versatile voice o the planet whether its hollering Tame or the sweet harmonies of Havilina or The Happening. Charles, Joey, Kim and Dave, thank you so much for every single
Yep. This is the same recording from the death to the pixies live CD. I presume they recorded this to make a video release which for whatever ridiculous reason was never properly cut and released. Every Pixie fan on the planet would have bought it (and still would). Pixies are the best band EVER. dissected note and beat. I still have the hair on the back of my neck stand up no matter what tune
yeah gigantic. yeah monkey. yeah where is my mind. all brilliant songs (and so many more..caribou..yeah)...BUT surely this is their best and my god what a song
Ugh! It's frustrating to try and express how effing AMAZING this song, this vid (thanking you by the way Mr/Ms Einzack) and this band are!!! Much love for the Pixies!
