The Pixies - LEVITATE ME / ED IS DEAD / WHERE IS MY MIND ? (Live in London Parte 2)

[@ourmildscoliosis]

I don't think there are words that can describe the intensity and originality that the Pixies portrayed

[@ezkibela]

Do you remember that coment 13 years ago?? Time flies doesnt it? Well i just wanted you to come back to this awesome clip of the Pixies live music 😊, greetings from Basque Country, being a fan of them since i was 13 back in the last 90's.

[@rzelbeton]

This concert should be frozen in time for the eternity.

[@dnon75]

What are the odds that these 4 people found each other by chance and created the most epic rock band of all time? It must be billions to one.

[@jonathanrandol794]

Well, Frank and Joey met at UMASS, were suite mates, and jammed a lot. Then Frank studied abroad in Puerto Rico and did not enjoy his time. He wrote a post to Joey asking him if he was ready to "do it to it", Joey said yes, they put an ad in the paper looking for a female bassist for "Husker Dü" like band. Kim flew to Chicago and got Kelly's bass (her sister and cocreator of "the Breeders"), came back, introduced Frank and Joey to David Lovering who became the drummer by using a coffee table as a drum set in a jam session. I could go on, but the odds drop tremendously that yes, there are 7.6 billion people on earth, but merely only 350 million Americans. Put that with the fact that they were all in Boston at the same time and being American musicians, the odds aren't as astrominacal as you may think. Still, I thank the stars they did find each other. ✌

Kim Deal.

[@StarryStarryNocturne]

@@jonathanrandol794 Actually the ad said, "band seeks bassist that's into Husker Du and Peter, Paul and Mary." Kim Deal got such a kick out of the odd mix of musical references in that particular ad that she eagerly went to audition to join the band - despite not being a bassist. She was also the only one to audition. :P

[@LEMMYCAUTIONROCK]

This set of 3 songs is probably the best clip of Pixies on youtube

[@kurtbravo6954]

I agree

[@doomguydemonkiller]

I agree also.

[@marksgoogle4360]

Definitely!!

[@pudboy123456]

theres another really good 3 song video from Brixton on here somewhere that matches up to this. Theres also Vamos/In heaven from the same show. And there's also a really long extended version of no.13 extended in all the right places. At certain moments in time each one has been my favourite - but thats the Pixies - so many great tunes that at some point in time pretty much every one of them becomes a song for the moment (Which can last months). Ed is dead has always been a favourite, but then again, so too has in Heaven from the more obscure tunes, stormy weather. I mean we could go all day here

[@Peamush]

Breaks a string on his acoustic, switches to electric. Breaks a string on his electric... Plays his shirt instead.

[@JDarrylSSS]

He cannot be stopped

[@cheeseboy777]

It couldn't have broken at a better time tho really, lucky break!

[@doomguydemonkiller]

That was some hard strumming. But we wouldn't have seen that cool acoustic guitar for Where is my mind.

[@nanda10]

I love players/singers that don't know what to do with their hands while not playing an instrument. Kim is like this as well, if you see some (very rare) registers of her singing with ampty hands. Lol

[@mattisprettycool]

Joey constantly has the "where am I and what am I doing here?" look.

[@supremelordoftheuniverse5449]

He is functional

[@LeahDyson-kq4bd]

Best version of Levitate Me i've heard yet. Crowd seemed to dig it as well.

[@alexives9274]

one of the world most underrated band's ever

[@joanofarc708]

Saw them in Dublin 1991 absolute mental

[@SST4SSG]

Agreed! Nirvana was afraid that they'll be called out for ripping them off. Frank Black/Blackie Francis laughed that off in a "no harm, no foul"* *I'm quoting myself and not Frank Black/Blackie Francis/Charles Thomson the VI (I recall) here for emphasis

[@WeirsBane]

Imagine seeing and hearing Levitate Me live, like this, for the first time. That is a genuinely exciting song. Incredible.

[@StoneRanger121]

I miss Kim I had a massive schoolboy crush on her...still do Cool chick Glastonbury missed her Thank for this series of excellent quality songs uploader...

[@r.l.browning1538]

You know shes a real coo coo

[@jonathanrandol794]

She was my first crush too. The first CD I ever bought was "come on pilgrim" in '88 when I was 6... Have been the #1 the Pixies fan since, my 10 and 18 year old kids know the words to every song. I wrote a biography/thesis on them at Uni. I bet I could publish it... Time to talk to 4AD... Lol.

[@missbutter76]

Had “Come on Pilgrim” at 15 as my first vinyl alongside Skinny Puppy, Dead Milkmen and Jesus and Mary Chain. I loved the Pixies gift to music. ♥️

[@bigcountryspoundcake4513]

Didn’t Radiohead go to this show? Jonny said they made their trip here in their College days. Just goes to show how much of a love affair for music can affect somebody else because you know how big Radiohead are, Hall of Famers them.

[@CheckmateWithPawn]

If you watch I think Gouge Away, the Pixies documentary, Thom Yorke is talking about going to a Pixies gig, and walking out afterwards, thinking "well, what's the point?" Pixies blew his mind so much that Radiohead almost never happened

[@cdweedz]

The best band there ever was.

[@RobinToTheBatCave]

loving the shirt guitar @4:40

[@napolifantony]

Frank breaks the string on the electroacoustic guitar @ 3.01..then change with the electric one and also breaks the D string @ 3.45...2 strings in 45(WOW) secs but I think this was down to the fact that they were using metal picks following ALBINI (producer) instructions to use ambiance on drums and metal picks to give the raw(in the room) PIXIES sound.Hence after this unlikely event He goes towards Kim and whispers the Plan B"where is my mind"after"Ed is dead" AGREE??! Ciao..Italian Pixies fan

[@rbarela11]

I think this is one of the best recordings of this song. I really like it.

[@madmick17]

The mark of a great band is how they sound live. Nothing worse then going to see a band you like and realizing that they suck. The Pixies sound better live then they do on their Great records. PIXIES =BRILLIANT!!!

[@bradsaunders5367]

There may be no truer words than this. I've been thoroughly impressed by a bunch of bands live, like Pixies, but utterly heartbroken seeing bands I loved like the Violnet Femmes and Black Crows perform live.

[@jdoncbus]

One of the most underrated bands of all-time.....

[@ChristopherGray00]

not under rated but not known enough sure, a LOT of artists have publicly praised the pixies, and they were well known, just not absolute mainstream knowledge like smashing pumpkins or nirvana for example.

[@t-turbo7833]

[@michaelyyy2872]

I'm old and I've never heard lead guitar like this. I've listened to so many lead guitarists from endless rock bands. Then II've been trying to listen to every Pixies track on KZbin and I've gotta say like so many others, Joey Santiago is a genius. Actually all Pixies band members wreak of genius.

[@jairobaquero6723]

For somm reason they were at their peak in this concert. Gigantic especially. Just something about their energy and effort in this particular concert came through better than any other concerts and albums.

Greatest rock band ever as far as i'm concerned.

[@maisssssvodega]

Essa é a apresentação mais fodástica dos Pixies.

[@mattisprettycool]

@thePumpGr totally. they really have no bad songs in their discography. Some less great than others, but I usually just put on every song from Come On Pilgrim to Trompe le Monde on shuffle and I never find myself waning to skip any.

This has to be one of the most significant concert events for modern rock. I bet the Radiohead boys are somewhere in that crowd. Wonder how many bands this recording inspired.

This concert actually inspired the Velvet Underground

Frank goes off in ed is dead hahaha

[@napolifantony]

Ciao Nelson, grazie for the comment..I think they changed the song to do after ED is Dead `cause guitar had to be re-stringed and I think he says PLAN B(another song after ED) ..Anyway we know that Charles/Frank was a bit Nazi in the group he was the Leader and was checking everybody else meticulously..Joe(lead guitar) and David(drums) never said a word...The only one that could compete was Kim but unfortunately for us FAN she only wrote 1-2 songs and did not have the space she deserved it.Ciao
