***** awesome!!! Yeah it was sorta surreal seeing MBV live. Never would have thought that I'd get that chance. I wish I knew who the opening band was. The lead singer spoke with me a bit outside. He liked my Jesus and Mary Chain shirt I wore.
These guys were apart of the 80s underground movement that nirvana brought to the mainstream in 1991. Note that nirvana was around in 1987 and knew all of these guys personally
I love how Black Francis almost always looks like he was just coaching a little league team minutes before the concert. Like he just parked the minivan, took off the team hat, and picked up the guitar for the gig. No corporate influence here, just some of the best American alt rock of the late 80's.
@@FrankieSidewalks Maybe rock n roll as you know it, it is very much alive, but due to the internet gone are the days of 9 months touring dive bars to build you name, gone are the days of the main record labels deciding what music becomes popular, bands do what they want now. They combine genres, they make 20 minute songs, personally I like how it's become, great bands are easier to find now than ever.
@@frankfairey1858 i agree with everything you said, people have to understand that rock is thriving but with streaming and no MTV, music won’t just be fed to them on a silver platter. they have to go find these great bands and there’s plenty of easy ways to discover them, spotify has suggested me amazing new bands that are genuinely the future.
I've been listening to The Pixies all evening instead of going to bed. It takes me back. This band, Sonic Youth, and Dinosaur Jr invented their own genre. '90s music before the '90s.
Take something raw, talented, but not quite ready for mass consumption and slow it down, but make it loud once in a while. I feel you'll get your point across and it will be memorable. Be afraid of your perceptions, but never your enjoyment.
Jane’s Addiction, don’t forget about them. They were making this kind of noise well before Pixies or Nirvana. Jane’s in my opinion is the true “90’s before 90’s” band. Their debut “Nothing Shocking” came out in 1987 and it sounds like it could have easily come out in 1993.
And that's the song that started the 90's kids...in 1988. The soft seductive verses, massive monster chorus, and deliciously angular lead guitar throughout. The Pixies did it first and nobody did it better.
Like the Velvet Underground, they never sold a shitload of records but everyone who listened to the Velvet Underground or the Pixies went out and started a Band of their own.
It's become a bit of an enduring myth about the Velvet Underground not selling many albums. Eno said 30,000 of the first record, but that's not a bad score for a first album and considering that the record company decided to make more albums with them the follow ups must have sold all right. Then again I shouldn't shatter the mystique making out that these bands where unsuccessful is a key part of the legend.
Can't really blame him. He started the band with Joey to sing HIS songs. Kim auditioned to do bass. No one could have predicted that she would be the breakout star that she was. I can imagine a little bit of envy or jealousy going on.
GrindstoneMusic I'd understand feeling a bit insecure and jealous, but to an extent. To completely reject the role of a potentially great vocalist/ songwriter in your band is fucking absurd. If the reason were creative differences, then maybe, but it would be like Lennon/ McCartney telling Gerorge to either quit wasting studio time with his early songs, or fuck off outta the band. Kim could've probably dished out the Pixies' equivalent to "Here Comes the Sun". Hell, they even let Ringo write/ sing a song or two.
@@GraffitiPops I think it is completely understandable and doesn't have to do at all with any jealousy. It is perfectly normal for you to get controlling about something you see as your project.
@@GraffitiPops the reason why the beatles work so well was because they were really close. But this is the pixies were talking about. Its diffent. Francis had a right to did what he did. It was his band after all. Thats why Kim left and made her own band. (Love both bands)
Fuck yea!! i've been learning to play music on the guitar and the keyboards, but after listening to the pixies bass, I've learned so much how the bass can impact the music. Kim Deal plays this simple mysterious bassline that sounds weirdly odd, but when the other instruments kick in, I'm like "Oooh Fucking Shit!!" I get it now!" Its fucking genius, the Pixies were an magical band. Like so many disco funk Bassists in the 70s and 80s.
1. Not much of a lead guitar for a guitar solo near 2/3 of the song. 2. I would rather have Bob Rock produce the song. Although he produced Metallica, Bob Rock describes himself as a lover of punk more than metal.
I love how her voice sounds somewhat small, but husky and very powerful. It’s beautiful. Leaving Pixies and starting her own band was a good call. Too bad they didn’t get nearly as much recognition as they deserved
It just didn’t get much air time. I was a young teen, so if it wasn’t on the radio or MTV I wasn’t hearing about it. Glad I got into them as an adult though.
Because Joey did some of the most simple shit as a lead guitarist, that single note of manic vibrato is something alot of lead guitar players would think is “too simple”
I was first introduced to Pixies by a French girl at University, who I was desperately in love with, but she was in love with a guy from Galicia. At least I have Pixies to remember her by. She was so special.
Bowie was right. Fantastic band and Joey is still a very underrated player. That vibrato and use of feedback sounds simple crude but it's hard to make it sound like he does.
In the annals of music history, with progression to grunge and alternative, the Pixies and Gigantic stand above all. Legendary. And Joey’s vibro intro is 🔥🔥🔥
What an atmosphere they created, with the TV'S, themselves, their performance, and the music they played. God, I missed out on so much being either a child or nonexistent in the 80's.
I'm an older millennial who remembers listening to them in 1999. Fight Club got me hooked on them. I bought their greatest hits tribute CD in early 2000s. I don't think they even make CDs anymore. Crazy ain't it, how time flies? I'm 37 years old now, and my most precious memories are of the mid to late 90s when I didn't worry about bills, jobs, and current cultural matters like today. It was truly the last great American decade.

Such a great song by an amazing band. One of my fave groups even today. I saw them a few times in the late 90s, a couple of times more recently. Kim Deal is insanely badass.
Biggest Pixies hit, one of the few they let Kim take the front on, awesome and influential band. Frank is amazing but science shows the bass is what gets us going 😘
Gawd they are sharp! They sound like a massive guitar army. How did these band member not get along when pretty much everyone one on the planet loves all of them.
That's how it always is. Artists are always like that. I think Van Gogh lived with Paul Gaugin and pulled a knife on him at some point and never had another friend.
I saw this performance on Dutch TV when it was first broadcast (I was 16 at the time) & I became an instant fan! :-) Hard to believe that it's almost 30(!) years ago when this show was taped...time flies!
My favorite Pixies song. Cobain’s favorite Pixies song. They should have let Kim write more. Probably should have pushed the bass up on the master recording. I can never get the volume out of it that I want.

But the pixies were the biggest influence for all the late 80s and 90s alt rock bands, like Radiohead, Sonic Youth, and all the grunge genre.
The Pixies and The Stone Roses in 1988-89 pretty much laid the blue print for music in the 90s... So much that followed had roots in either band. (In the UK anyhow).
Yup. Not everyone saw it that way in the beginning though (*cough*, *cough*, Boston..where they formed). Dumbasses. One listen to their demo "The Purple Tape" and if you couldn't hear it, you shouldn't be in music.
i saw them in 1987-88at a free concert somewhere in downtown boston.. i think it may have been on the common.. i was only 9 at the time.. but i remember it vividly.
By the looks of the audience, they just witnessed one of the biggest changes in rock music and just didn't realise it... What I wouldn't give to be there 😱
Fantastic, can you imagine what it was being 15 years old and seeing this on Firma Onrust on television? it changed at least my life and love for music! Love the Pixies and Kim Deal
I wish I could go back to the early 80's and just spend the next 15 or so years going around to live music shows of all the great bands of those days. I was a little too young when it came and went unfortunately.
The first time I saw the Pixies was Coachella 2004. Two friends and I flew fromNYC to California. They played Saturday night. It's was Pixies then Radiohead. What a moment. They blew me away even more than I had expected. Best Band ever hands down.
my god I haven't listened to this is forever......and I don't know why....I miss the original pixies. I saw them in spokane wa and they were so awesome.......
Eeeew... I don't think we should put Pixies in the "grunge camp". They were well ahead all that. The term only came into existence a couple after their global impact. It's like calling The Beatles a "metal band" after they wrote Helter Skelter.
i saw them live two days a row, Civic Auditorium and the Fillmore.... San Francisco, and yes they sound like their recording.. amazing, true musicians who can play it every time.. possibly a couple of the best days in my life... to see them back to back.. i have been spoiled for concerts ever since ... i just had to stop
What makes this even more impressive is that they're not thrown off by having cameras shoved so close in their faces. I've filmed a lot of bands and always try to give them space and not distract them. Kim's a champ at 1:15 and look how close the one is at 1:26 to the guitarist. Seriously guys, consider a zoom or longer lens. I get the wide lens aesthetic of the era but shit.
OMFG!! I never got to see this until now. I'm at a loss for words. Suffice it to say, Pixies Rock like No other band. Thanks for this. I appreciate. :)

Kurt Cobain said when he started nirvana he was just trying to rip off Pixies.
Possibly the most 90s sounding 80s song I've ever heard. And it's awesome.
I guess it’s cause pixies helped create that 90s rock sound, it must’ve been so weird to hear this when glam rock and metal was the big thing
They were way ahead of their time
That’s because the pixies invented the 90s. Nirvana was inspired by the pixies. They were kurt cobains favourite band.

@@Cosmefulanito2812 not plagiarized but you can tell where smells came from for sure
@@theanomaly73 that's for sure, everything from the 90s sounds like pixies. As I said, it was more like a tribute than a plagiarism
@@Cosmefulanito2812 cobain himself said he should have been in the pixies or at least a pixies cover band. Smells like Gigantic Spirit
Pure mad, mad musical genius...so rarely found. Glad to have grown up with the Pixies...
I'm gonna listen this song all my life, that's how great it is!
The Pixies and The Stone Roses in 1988-89 pretty much laid the blue print for music in the 90s... So much that followed had roots in either band. (In the UK anyhow).
Music making? Better leave it to the yankees. Except for Bowie, music from the UK sucks.
(No, I'm not an American)
Kim Deal has been giving me the chills for decades. Beyond special.
if you like this you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris. cheers.....
This song keeps getting in my head!!! Driving my crazy totally unpredictable!!! I hear this feed back then I start yelling GIGANTIC GIGANTIC
Forever an amazing band
Yup. Not everyone saw it that way in the beginning though (*cough*, *cough*, Boston..where they formed). Dumbasses. One listen to their demo "The Purple Tape" and if you couldn't hear it, you shouldn't be in music.
+Steve Idxp why are most of your comments in this video so condescending... they just said they liked the band lol
i saw them in 1987-88at a free concert somewhere in downtown boston.. i think it may have been on the common.. i was only 9 at the time.. but i remember it vividly.
By the looks of the audience, they just witnessed one of the biggest changes in rock music and just didn't realise it... What I wouldn't give to be there 😱
if you like this you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris. cheers.....
Possibly one of the the best band's this century
Uma das melhores bandas de rock que escutei na vida!!😎
Fantastic, can you imagine what it was being 15 years old and seeing this on Firma Onrust on television? it changed at least my life and love for music! Love the Pixies and Kim Deal
Best band, best song, best live performance. I listen at least three times if I listen once. It's like a chunk of rock candy.
❤🇨🇱
I wish I could go back to the early 80's and just spend the next 15 or so years going around to live music shows of all the great bands of those days. I was a little too young when it came and went unfortunately.
this song ROCKS! It's GIGANTIC!
Kim is so shiny.
trying to sing while playing a walking bassline is hard work
damn sexy shiny sweaty kim.
If Kim doesn't show up that day to the audition for a bass player (with NO bass) are the Pixies still the Pixies?
NaboCane no
I hate just about everything about Massachusetts except Kim Deal.
I've watched this millions of times. And, I'm going to watch it one million more. God...Bless...The...Pixies.
I can't decide if this is my favourite Pixies song or not, I love all of them but this just keeps coming to mind when I think of them.
Pixies!!!!!
Uma das bandas de rock alternativa que mais contemplo no cenário rock!!!!
Rock''and roll!!!!
Stacked up TVs need to make a comeback
you don`t have them?
it would be hard to balance 5 60 inch flat screens like that
That China crash really makes the chorus. Gotta love a drummer that knows how to just drive the beat and not get too fancy,
They are absolutely GREAT!
The first time I saw the Pixies was Coachella 2004. Two friends and I flew fromNYC to California. They played Saturday night. It's was Pixies then Radiohead. What a moment. They blew me away even more than I had expected. Best Band ever hands down.
The sweat is indicative of the passion going in to this song.
A Big Big Love to the Pixies, what a band they once were.
my god I haven't listened to this is forever......and I don't know why....I miss the original pixies. I saw them in spokane wa and they were so awesome.......
One of the greatest band of the 80s/90s and maybe of all time. Pixies and Sonic Youth are my favourite grunge bands and awesome live! Go Pixies!
Eeeew... I don't think we should put Pixies in the "grunge camp". They were well ahead all that. The term only came into existence a couple after their global impact. It's like calling The Beatles a "metal band" after they wrote Helter Skelter.
Si puede ser también the jesus anda meryl chain
Been listening to the Pixies since i discovered them through "Fight Club". Im glad alot of people are discovering now through "Fear Street"
Essa foi a primeira música do Pixies que eu ouvi.....amor a primeira ouvida!!!!!!
i saw them live two days a row, Civic Auditorium and the Fillmore.... San Francisco,
and yes they sound like their recording.. amazing, true musicians who can play it every time.. possibly a couple of the best days in my life... to see them back to back.. i have been spoiled for concerts ever since ... i just had to stop
I saw the pixies with the cure and love n rockets back in 89 at dodger stadium.I was about 16 years old,awesome show!
the most influential band of all time. If this band didn't exist, Nirvana wouldn't have existed as we know them. Period.
Yup. Cobain admitted as much
I saw the pixies live and it was amazing 👍🏻🎸🧚🏻♀🧚🏻
love this track so much
Just love the natural juxtaposition of Male and female voices...perfect with that wonderful bass guitar!!!
her smile and voice at 1:12
Yesss 😭omg I’m so thankful I found this song I love this type of music
What makes this even more impressive is that they're not thrown off by having cameras shoved so close in their faces. I've filmed a lot of bands and always try to give them space and not distract them. Kim's a champ at 1:15 and look how close the one is at 1:26 to the guitarist. Seriously guys, consider a zoom or longer lens. I get the wide lens aesthetic of the era but shit.
My name is Paul. I pretend this song is about me.
Are you big and black?
Lol so do i
If it works for ya. I wish Kim had sung a song about Dave. 😂
Minus being black, same. Also, youtube needs a laughing emoji like facebook. Some of these comments are priceless.
My name's Tony. They wrote me an entire freaking theme song.
Es una música adelantada para esa época, genial¡¡
WOW IM LOVING THIS!!
Molais mucho gracias ❤ BCN
That crowd did not deserve this song live!
Fantastic
June of 1988. Cubby Bear, Chicago. A top 5 show for me.
OMFG!! I never got to see this until now. I'm at a loss for words. Suffice it to say, Pixies Rock like No other band. Thanks for this. I appreciate. :)
