I've always loved how Allison was too short for it's own video so they just tacked it on to the end of Dig for Fire. Amazing.

[@wlouisharris]

I saw the Pixies on this tour. The intensity of the show and the band was so overwhelming. People were going completely nuts. They really connected with us 19-20 year-olds. I think Frank and the band were kind of overwhelmed w/ the popularity that was swirling around them. It was the same with Jane's Addiction and both bands broke up soon after. Then Nirvana released Never Mind and the whole scene kind of blew up.

[@litost]

i understand now what you said, i have never cried on a concert and i did with Pixies, i counldnt stop, and it was pure happiness. :D

[@davelockwood8814]

True story, I had a massive car crash in the 90's, broken femur, cracked skull, coma and collapsed lungs. This was the first song I heard after coming to again in the Hospital on the local student radio station. I rang my mum to buy the CD on the way to the hospital. Love my mum

[@BioDieselEstate]

Top story, Mr. Lockwood. Right enough, we should all cherish our mothers. Even if you don't see eye to eye, show your mother the respect that she really deserves. I sometimes think, I would give almost anything to spend some more time with my deceased mum. She was taken far too soon. Mr. Lockwood's is a timely reminder to show mothers that we love them 24/7, all the year round - not just Mother's Day.

[@davelockwood8814]

I have been waiting my whole life to see the pixies, travelled around the world, always missing there gig The played in NZ in march 2020. Epic gig, could be our last international gig for a long time. Stay safe world.

[@lawrencesalamone6154]

I was ten years old when I heard this song being played by my father. Been hooked on the Pixies ever since. Nothing like the 80’s, early nineties music.

[@george9822]

Yep! REM, Pixies, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr

[@altotap]

I love the way they can’t stop themselves from layering simple guitar parts on top of each other on dig. Genius

[@wlouisharris]

They were genius. Something really went off the rails w/ this band interpersonally after this record however.

went to high school in the early 90's, so I had to go to bed early on Sunday nights. Used to set the vhs recorder to MTV's 120 Minutes and see what I caught. Caught this gem of a song, it was the first time I heard it and it blew me away. I still have the vhs tape

[@JP-ve7or]

I saw this on JBTV in Chicago in the early 90s, had it on VHS for years. When Mose Allison played at Bluesfest in Grant Park in the early 2000s I went because of this song. I hate to think I would have missed out otherwise. Long live Pixies and RIP Mose. ❤

[@seanbartel6691]

Best song I ever heard

[@NxDoyle]

Every time I listen to the Pixies after a gap, I fall in love with them all over again. It's the kind of limerence we wish we could feel to revivify romantic relationships.

[@tubulzr]

That's the Olympic stadium, Amsterdam Netherlands. (Olympics in 1928). Late '80s, Dutch VPRO radio 'Nozems a Gogo; "...van de Pixies..." Kid brother and I were blown away, lifelong fans.

Reviewed this album for the Tulane University radio station's newspaper. I loved the album, especially Allison, even if it was spelled wrong and should be Alison (says Alison). ;) 34 years later, still love it. and just now learned the video was filmed in Amsterdam. I lived in Utrecht for 9 years! Leuk!

[@grelley2067]

I 'Dig' kim's backing vocals in this. As for the video, best part is at 2:16 when the motocycles ride off and fade out in sunset during Joey's minor guitar solo.

There is this old woman, she lives down the road - Dig for Fire by Pixies- You can often find her kneeling inside of her hole And I often ask her "Are you looking for the mother lode?" No, no my child, this is not my desire and then she said "I'm digging for fire I'm digging for fire I'm digging for fire I'm digging for fire" There is this old man who has spent so much of his life sleeping That he is able to keep awake for the rest of his years He resides, on a beach, in a town where I am going to live And I often ask him "Are you looking for the mother lode?" No, no my child, this is not my desire and then he said "I'm digging for fire I'm digging for fire I'm digging for fire I'm digging for fire" I'm digging for fire fire fire I'm digging for fire I'm digging for fire, for fire, for fire I'm digging for, for fire

[@tbecker8518]

all pixie official vids were so abstract and derivative for the time. they set the bar so high for vids. amazing even beyond the music. 4AD must have been the sympathetic label for their far-reaching vision.

[@johndavidson5888]

pixies are bad ass i love this song

[@NxDoyle]

When I first saw this music video, I was blown away (no Track 11 pun intended). It was and still is one of the most simple and inventive ideas. It was another way of producing that obligatory marketing element that the record company needs, while avoiding the lip-syncing they clearly preferred not to do in their vids, if it was an option. It must be one of the only music videos that contains a live 'B-side'. I do love them so.

[@rolandboerhof9391]

They thought their music was more important than the vids. Bizar

I still listen to the Pixies today with the same enthusiasm that i did in the late 80's , im very sure theres a lot of people who feel the same way ! The signs of one of the greatest band of all time and very underrated for some reason , maybe Francis lyrics werent radio friendly enough , who knows

[@rolandboerhof9391]

No, they didn't want to make video's and thought the music was more important. How silly

[@KrikZ32]

I was born after they made all of their classic albums and didn't really find the band until a few years ago (except for WIMM which I knew from Fight Club), but I jam these songs almost daily.

[@fredericaopond3365]

When I first heard this on CD it felt more raw, and more beautiful.

[@tarwagon]

its the same recording as the cd , obviously it's you that has changed and in that how you here the song changes ( and a different sound system will make the song seem "not the same as before")

[@calebcrittenden9929]

True but a later remastering might sound bad because of dynamic compression. Granted this came out 25 years ago this may have been remastered to keep up with the loudness war.

[@mackymac3479]

Love the Pixies. Have loved them from the first moment I heard them, sat on a floor in a fellow student's flat in Maynooth. I wonder if she remembers that moment as vividly as I do. Tape player and the Pixies. That day I found my fire, the Pixies. Now I'm so alone. Thinking it might be time to call it a day and sleep for an eternity, never to wake to this living he'll.
