[Deathofanenemy]

wish i could change guitars like that...lucky basterd

[MrFight2keep]

that is fucking PUNK ROCK :)

[GuitarMacable]

eric koston yeah right baby

[SinghBeckChav]

koston



[IMACOOLBOY12]

@SinghBeckChav YEAH RIGHT!!!!

[Cortiulero]

@getheroutofthetruck ????????

[phemohilia]

I Spy.... Greatness!!!!!  : )

[wwgt]

AWESOME !!

How else could a FB composition be summed up?

[nxsus6]

Look at all these foolios. They don't know that the KING is in their midst!

[wwgt]

I Agree !!

[Flopixd]

das puplikum geht ab XD

[Skatefreak43]

@Flopixd ja lustige zeit war das ^^

[campkilldavy]

They other guitarist kind of looks like Will Ferrell from Night at the Roxbury.

[7717653]

somebody cant sing their own songs on beat.

[Naeux]

@7717653 And it's deliberate, oh noes!

[Davidasperger86]

he's the king of the sweaty fat fucks lol

[gwald]

black looks like john goodman lol

[levalek]

frank very best!!!

[AgainPolliwog]

The rest of the band acts a bit too cool... I get the feeling that they don't really get it.

[ranmore30]

@AgainPolliwog "the band acts a bit too cool"? What the fuck are you talking about, they are there to play music and thats what they're doing, you putting too much emphasis on how they look

[AgainPolliwog]

@ranmore30 Come on, just look at them! They do stereotypical rock poses and tries to act cooler than they actually are! I'm not saying i'm not liking the music, it's fucking brilliant, but, you would never see Frank himself act like his band does. Like I said before, I get the feeling they don't really get the song. They just see that it has an electric guitar and think "hey lets but our feet REAAAALLY far from each other, and act like a bunch of idiots". You have your opinion, I have mine.

[Onafriday1]

Saw Charles perform many times my favorite show was when opened for the ramones.

Still great!

[surimix]

@Onafriday1 u lucky bastard :)

[SkaterthemanMr]

you know, he's still great, but he kinda reminds me of tenatious D haha

[31funk]

frank black wails ohh so nicely without even trying...such a rock voice...

the crowd has no idea who they're watching...

[slosh1997]

he may be old but he still can wail

[juicyjohnbox]

fuck the crowd, they're so dead

[TheDravenProductions]

Omg..he really sux live.. the old song was better : Frank Black-Los Angeles

[strikeah]

@TheDravenProductions when they make song on disk taped what ever thet have time to fix it to perfection but when its live theyve got to make it sound like the disk tape whatever soo its harder

[TheDravenProductions]

@strikeah Yeah i guess you are right...anyway . i like Frank Black :3

[TheDravenProductions]

@strikeah Hey but i can sing really better then him live.. i mean the acapella.. "i wanna live in losangeles..etc. he sings kinda fake live.

[monkeygonetoheavensi]

@TheDravenProductions no you can't

[TheDravenProductions]

@strikeah Or maybe because he is older that it was when he made the orig. song los angeles

[clubhappybest]

they gotta bring back the star rating on youtube. this is FIVE.

[nintendoor1]

hes pretty ok live,im surprised

[mauzark]

that crowd has no idea who they're watching. Long live FRANK BLACK.

[grauwacka]

Frank Black Is The Best Rocker

[eronstroud]

FB looks like the wrestler Kane!

This has always been one of my fav songs.. Love that chord progression.. It could go on for a day and I'd be happy!

[yozfavs]

[barakobama]

[BigB444301]

[rob1upon1gsxr1000]

napalm that german crowd.

[worcmatt]

TRADER JOE'S!!!!

[TheEliteM0NK3Y]

Frank Black is the mother fuckin man.

[mrbigcharuto]

Awesome =D

[HIPandiDONTmeanHOP]

At about 3:00 the mothership returns to take Charles Thompson back home... (But fortunately they wait for the end of the performance to beam him up.)

[alexthemod1]

@HIPandiDONTmeanHOP LOLOL!! i noticed that haha.

[osauro68]

no puedo creer que una persona grite y llore mostrando su arte mientras el 99% del público no sabe que pasa. Como llegan a mantener la población los alemanes? porque con esa frialdad no se como llegan al orgasmo. Está tocando Frank Black maldición!!!!!!!

[SuperDusy]

frank black coolllllll!!!! eeeeeeee

[mouser98k]

these people have obviously never heard this song.

i guess they get their muzak from the RADIO

[CavemanSkateboarding]

1:58 - 2:02 He looks like a crying baby. But I like the song so I'm not being a dickhead

[philquinton]

2 words  FAT CUNT!

[mouser98k]

@philquinton 4 words, you are a dumbshit

[macfint]

frank black, bowie, john lennon not in any particular order

[Yoshi92]

what the fuck is wrong with the crowd. hope it wasnt on all concerts, maybe its just 1996. :P

[PunkRock8509]

That solo was fucking amazing, I seriously just shat myself at the awesomeness.

[ala1238]

Frank Black. Still Jammin.

[cannabisabuser]

I love this man so, so much...

[ickeyjoey]

Shame on you Germans for the way you treat Mr. Black and his band.

Shame on you for the holocaust, too.

[tab1990]

@ickeyjoey And dont forget Hasslehof

[ickeyjoey]

@tab1990 ......Hasselhoff..thank you

damn you krauts for embracing David Hasselhoff and his weak music. Screw you for watching baywatch too. Thanks a lot Germany for shooting at my grandpa in WW2. Jerks

[southgower]

the Krauts haven't a clue

[CINGO25]

Lamest crowd ever! Shame on us Germans;) They all look ashamed....

Frank B. is the man!

[HenrikDanielSedin]

Awesome fucking song! Long live Frank Black Francis! \m/

[ddevil47]

he sings like nothing and cant keep up with the song what a lamo XDDDDDD

who ever let hem sing is not a man XD

[vomitoncio78]

I LOVE THIS TONE:

3:20

[vomitoncio78]

i love this tone

3:21

[ddevil47]

lame band LOOOOOL

[rhettrongun]

So the crowd sucks big time.

[xXyungjvunXx]

I've seen better crowds in funerals.

These guys can't rock for SHIT.

[gosgoskate]

terrible crowd

[mrbean022387]

WTF is wrong with the crowd its frank black. I guess the germans don't know how to jam out to good music

[MisterStephen777]

holy fack it's nice to hear something this good full blast in my ears. black francis should run for king of earth.

[mrfudgeyhead]

@MisterStephen777

He hasn't?

I always assumed he was and it was so obvious it wasn't talked about....

Well, now I have a cause to support.

[deadpool1102]

@MisterStephen777 I'd vote for him.

[domino94Pl]

I love this song xDD

[300hotboy]

i got to meet frank @ Berbati's pan in portland when he played a concert there with the S.o.R. he's just a REALLY nice guy.modest,and an all around great musician.

[blashuvec]

hey anybody tell how he does that scream at 1:59 he sharp one is it a inhale scream or a primal? if it's a primal that would be very crazy cause it's so fucking good by the way that scream resembles the scream of john lennon at the song twist and shout

[myos336]

I don't think it's an inhale scream but I could be wrong. It does sound good. There's a live video here of him doing the song "Tame" from his days with the Pixies that sounds like he might be doing inhale screaming at the end. Very powerful stuff.

[blashuvec]

yeah tame is one of my favorite songs by them but i don't think it's inhale "rock music" by the pixies is the most mind blowing and it's a primal scream too cause it's sounds like one

[IndifferentDrainage]

Shit, this gotta be Blankfrack.....Such an UNCANNY resemblence! Blind, bald and bloated. I KNEW he could walk.

[myfukkinname]

again....beautiful

[sarahbahna]

I met him in Oxford with the band last year. He's just a guy writing songs. Everyone's got this pixies expectation pinned on him and it's like you talking about your paper round in high school. Move on.

[sarahbahna]

No need to comment, It's Frank and he does his thing.

[wingeysk8r45]

scott butier is a KICKASS DRUMMER

[internash]

i like this song but this is a horrible preformance.

[pixanim]

DUDE... THIS IS A FUCKING REAL PERFOMANCE... FRANK MAKE IT'S BETTEr... SHIS IS FUCKING AWSOME!!!!

[blashuvec]

the very sharp scream at 1:59 is frightening mahn frightening which means cool haha

[myfukkinname]

Beautiful

[xTheOxx]

Francis's screams in this song always do it for me.

Also, Lyle Workman fucking rules.

[oldphoque]

I`m sorry. This is a great song. It`s subliminal message means nothing to me. franks music without the Pixies is rather dull. yeah, he has some good songs but would be better as Pixies songs.

[beardedswine]

what messages?

[senormadeland]

great song, I love this guy!!

[Corruptop]

' You people SUCK !... I thought Dallas was beter than this ! '

[gpnok91]

haha pretty bad live I must say xD the lyrics are un synched,bad sunged = I think though

[gargameo83]

love the weeping guitar

[ZakkVixxen]

great performance by Black!!!!

And yeah the audience sucks.. Though not typical for german audiences.

[Straq]

Damn that crowd is mello, I'd be raging this awesome song.

[DisturbedTV01]

Sounds OK live.

WWAAYY better if you're there tho.

[lyrromerozero]

better on the cd live it sucks

[CmdrBlop]

I would have guessed that this was shot in the USA, where audiences are notoriously placid. Normally European audiences are really loose. These guys must have been not into the music. :-). I'm one of those boring Americans, by the way.

[oldphoque]

People showing up for his gigs wanna hear Pixies. His US tour was no different. People don`t get up about Los Angeles as they do pixie numbers. That`s what we want.

[b2o2o]

Maybe retards like you go to Frank Black shows expecting to hear the Pixies, but some people prefer to hear new songs written by an artist who continues to evolve and produce amazing music. Have fun listening to the same records over and over, dipshit.

[oldphoque]

You`re an idiot. Right now, Frank has a cult following. The Pixies have a fan base. Same goes with Bob Mould. Everyone loves his solo and Sugar but don`t get excited till they hear Husker Du. That`s just how it is. Douchebag.

[poolboyinla]

He is not a good looking man but he sure can rock out with his cock out

[alexanderdanas08]

i met a man, he was a good man,sailing and shoring,dancing the beta can-can,making me foreign,oh yeah. I want to live in los angeles,not the one in los angeles, no not the one in south california,they got one in south patagonia I want to live in los angeles,not the one in los angeles,they got a bunch down in moleville,they got a bunch more still.I want to live in los angeles,not the one in los angeles,they got in one five twenty two five,works just like a beehive.i want to live in los angeles...

[Morthund]

fucking unresponsive bunch of up-tight arseholes is that audience..

[1skatebot1]

man i love this song but him live is fucking gay ass shit

[staonp]

Gay? Was there a poodle or something in this that I missed?

[mascaradiabolica666]

i've seen more exitement on a fuckin funeral!

the crowd is so bored!!

[Crackerdamus101]

it's germany, they're never excited about anything....

[mascaradiabolica666]

well, i've seen them excited when good music is played! just face it, this bald-fat guy really sucks!!

[Crackerdamus101]

As Black Francis would say it, "You Fucking Die!"

[eoly56]

you both can continue to be gay and get married for what i care. but the truth hurts you more than his small penis in your ass, and that truth is he sucks as a musician and you suck more for liking him!

[Crackerdamus101]

Go back to your Fall Out Boy you fucking asshole. Just because I listen to great music and you listen to emo crap, doesn't mean that you have to bash it because your taste is terrible...

[lstash]

Ever since that whole embarrassing Hitler incident it seems the Germans have been cagey about letting themselves get overly enthusiastic about anything.

[Crackerdamus101]

lol. very true

[hammerhagen]

no it's no true. not always. but yeah the audience was very lame

[SkaterthemanMr]

@lstash haha that whole "hitler incident" like 6million ppl died because of that i wouldn't call it an "incident"

[kinksbeatlesstones]

Their funeral I guess

[Crackerdamus101]

one of the best live performances i have ever seen!

[Bar999ey]

Hey Tablacy, Could you load up "Kicked in the Taco" and "Pray a Little Faster" from the same concert? I've been yearning to see and hear those songs from that show play again for quite some time. The ending of that Taco song still gives me a multi-orgasmic rush just by thinking about it. Thanks for the clip!

[staonp]

Did you attend this concert, Bar999ey, or did you mean you had seen a video of the show?

[ifyouseakay]

I only saw the video. Have you seen it?

[tablacy]

Hi Bar999ey:

I wish I had a live version of "Pray a Little Faster" from this concert because I like the song. I do have "Kicked in the Taco," but I don't recall anything momentous about the ending. Are you sure you weren't thinking of another song? Seems like "Jesus Was Right" may have had a big ending.

[ifyouseakay]

Hello Tablacy, Thanks for the response. I did mean "Kicked in the Taco". For some reason the last minute of that tune gets me. It was based on a short Ray Radbury story about the destruction of a Martian civilization through a religious war. 'And from" me you got my message of love!' Listen to it again if you can. "Pray a Little Faster" was played superbly. "Jesus was Right" was also well done. The guitarist rocks.

[mrblueyez07]

-3-

[dylan5286]

The crowds not even moving! I'd be freaking out

[dtrent747]

I noticed the same thing! Maybe German crowds are very sedate.

[ChaseTheStorms]

that was great

[Crackerdamus101]

amazing!
