Live on the Dennis Miller Show, the Pixies perform two tracks from their 'Trompe Le Monde' album. This video is especially noteworthy when you consider how incredibly loud the audience is, and the difficulty of finding live audio or video of 'Bird Dream' (this is the only live performance I know of).

  • fuck everyone. trompe and bossonova are awesome albums

  • Know what would have made this performance perfect? If Black had smashed his guitar to bits at the end of the song. Smashed it to bits on Dennis Miller's face.

  • I saw this when it first aired!

  • I agree. Trompe le monde and Bossanova are they're best albums, no doubt

  • kurt cobain aint shit

  • @MrSpork13 ..........

    U2 SHOULD open for the Pixies.

  • It's hard to put ANYTHING up against Surfer and Doolittle, but Trompe is an incredible album as well.... Frank Black on a bad day is still better than virtually anything out there.... And having been a huge J&MC fan since the mid-80's (right between Psychocandy and Darklands), I was incredibly stoked to hear them cover "Head On"... No other band should attempt to cover J&MC, but Frank Black can illuminate anything he touches. Great cover.

  • Trompe Le Monde f-ing rocks! ... Terribly underrated...

  • i love all their LPs and EPs.I used to love the fact that i could fit nearly all their songs on a 120 cassette

  • epic!! shivers during bird dream :)

  • Some songs have the ability to take you back to a certain place and time. I used to listen to Bird Song every morning on my drive to high school on cassette tape. The song would put me in such a good mood and would be in my head all day. I never saw the live until 2004 vodoo fest new orleans.

  • @megastros kim always look purdy.
