Black Francis makes one realize that every other death metal band out there is just a commercial act. He needn't any makeup or even an intimidating outfit to show that he MEANS business (to say the least). This makes every other band seem like posers (which, in a way, isn't far from the truth). Love the Pixies
sunsetman22 Did you literally just call every band other than the Pixies posers? Lol And bands are commercial acts, yes - they sell merch and albums, believe it or not - take a band like Lamb of God for example. They’re a death metal band, but they sell stuff - that makes them commercial, and so are the Pixies because they do the same thing. No idea what you’re trying to say
@@litgirlgamer7914 yeah but i think the other guy is talking about how the pixies move away from selling an image in order to boost sales. a lot of death metal bands depend on that image in order to carry them but pixies rarely used those kind gimmicks.
Your mum is a legend!!! I remember being a teenager listening to Status Quo, and my mum knocked on the door and told me to turn it up!! Im nearly 50 but it's one of my best childhood memories.... I just love music.
I did follow the instructions given by Floris and it's nothing like this in any stretch of the imagination. Not talent-wise, not energy-wise, not anything-wise. A waste of time comparing the two.
+Gabriel Ferreira Dude. look at the setlist 29 fucking songs and this is the closer www.setlist.fm/setlist/pixies/1991/brixton-academy-london-england-2bd64cea.html
I was 19 years old when I first saw them on this tour..they're one of the best bands I've ever seen and have been my favourite band since 1987 when I first discovered them..absolutely on a level of their own.
Eric Faassen Agree with you here, the energy he is giving to the crowd is just immense. Though usually their live performances are a bit lame due to lazy vocals of Francis, imo
I was there. 16 years old. We we're in the balcony. We were moshing and I seriously thought someone was going to fly off. The ushers and security had given up on trying to stop us by then.
I fulfilled a lifelong dream recently, finally seeing the Pixies live after listening to them for 25-odd years; Tame was the closest thing I've ever experienced to a religious experience..
This is as good an exhibit in the "Why I love the Pixies and you should too ..." canon as you can get. Even if you don't like it, you should at least be able to understand why people who DO like it, like it. It's just so smile-inducing.
A rock and roll animal scream that will never be superseeded - Kept in leash by Kim's bass melody & angel vocal. Allong with Gigantic this is my absolute favorite.
Got hips like Cinderella Must be having a good shame Talking sweet about nothing Cookie I think you're Tame, tame, tame, tame I'm making good friends with you When you're shaking your good frame Fall on your face in those bad shoes Lying there like you're Tame, tame, tame, tame Tame, tame, tame, tame Tame, tame, tame, tame Tame, tame, tame, tame You're welcome
When you watch the whole gig and realize that after 1h 20min of almost non stop playing song after song they walked out on stage again to deliver THIS... It couldn’t get more epic.
BEST. TOUR. EVER. ♥ #IWasThere ♥ I love that guy in the black shirt just losing it!!! It's impossible to sit still watching this clip ~ #BigBigLove 4 posting!
Your jealousy is flattering! I saw them several times actually, this was my 2nd show. The 1st time was 12.19.90 when they (along w Primus) opened for Jane's Addiction. Omg, it was amazing!! This tour Pixies was headlining and it was so much fun ~ there's something about a small venue that makes it even better.
They split exactly at their peak. People at gigs was screaming singing their songs in an ovation, they were on the edge of the world success. And they split. What a bad move, Frank.
After so many watchings at this video over the years, I still don't know in which crowd I would have dreamed to be the most : this one, or the Beastie Boys'one on Sabotage in Glasgow 1999... I choose both !
The reunion shows in 2003 (ish) at Brixton were amazing too. Hard to believe what happened musically in the 12 years they broke up. Now they've been back for 15 years! The legend of the band when they were all solo was immense and magical.
I went to this gig. Wierd, it was not sold out, lots of empty spaces. Best thing was a school teacher had taken his class (ages 10-12) to it they adored it (bouncing around with them at the back right hand-side). This one, last in the UK, they did exactly the same set as Crystal Palace. (Probably why is wasn't sold out, two nights too - this was the last night)., Brixton 1990 = single best gig I've ever seen though. My God they were amazing! Better that year than the Town and Country gigs.
Never have a loved one, furry or otherwise within a limb's reach when listening to the Pixies (especially their live stuff), you may be lulled into a false sense of security during the verses, happily petting your pet as you casually bounce to the beat, but then the chorus hits and you go from "aw, aren't you cute Mr. Snufflekins? :3" petting to "TAAAAAAAAAMEEE!!! D:< *SPASTIC PUNCH*" And just like that you've injured the poor creature. :p

That live sound is absolutely incredible
Don’t know if it’s lock down or what, buts it’s proper brought a tear to me eye. It’s amazing

In a sense, the cleanest Pixies song. Pure rage. Debaser is still the hallmark, but this hits home so hard, it hurts.
This and 'Brick is Red'.

@@Abhishek.Basnyat ho nai bro!
For me, 'Tame' is Pixies' best song. It's short, raw, powerful, and cool.
My gosh, what a powerful voice and song. Unbelievable.
The fact that he looks so normal makes it only more intense.
His chug-a-lug dance before the conniption fits makes it all that much better.
best band of the 80s and 90s... Francis voice is not from this world... unbelievable power
Frank has such a glorious roar. greatest scream ever, hands down. if there was a voice in my head, i'd want it to be his.
one of the greatest rock n roll screamers ever
I CAN'T STOP WATCHING THIS VIDEO. One of the greatest live performances of all time.
Props to the crowd for giving the energy back! You can feel it through the screen
Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
When I listen to TAME!!!!
my neighbors do too

Gabriel Ferreira i know right i fuckin envy the people who went
+Gabriel Ferreira
It was :)
the full show is on youutube - and youre right, it is one hell of a show. my favourite in fact. although I am hoping Jodrell Bank in July will top it
I have probably watched this video maybe 500 times, every single time I come across it I nearly burn down my house screaming it.
Yeah, I keep coming back to this one too. It just seems to manage to capture the whole ethos in one tiny, delicious morsel.
Wow. This is amazing. There is something unspeakable about this. Something you feel in the sound, even while not understanding the lyrics.
the lyrics are simple. Don't be a b!tch.

You can see how kurt cobain was inspired by the pixies
Every sweet pop song that the singer starts to randomly scream like a maniac owes something to the Pixies

I fulfilled a lifelong dream recently, finally seeing the Pixies live after listening to them for 25-odd years; Tame was the closest thing I've ever experienced to a religious experience..
This has to be the sexiest performance of a song I've ever seen.
I love that the whole place is exploding with wild energy as they all scream, Tame!
man this has to be one of the best performances - what a band, they rock so hard so effortlessly - makes me wanna smash the fucking place up
One of the best crowds ever. So jelaous of anyone recording on their mobile!
The sheer ferocity in Black Francis's voice.
OMG, I'm at work listening, and I start thinking about jumping up and ripping the cubicles apart.
This might just be my favourite two minutes of music.
The guy in the audience at 1:07 is brilliant. What an amazing performance by an amazing band!
fucking hell, i need a time machine
I love it at 1:39 when Dave is like standing up smashing the bass drum. Oh man. I am so totally obsessed with this band.
My wife has a word for this condition (which I share with you). She says that I'm 'pixated.'

Went to The Pixies concert yesterday, they sounded like they always have. Legends!
Genuinely can't believe these guys sound so fucking good. What a wonder
OMG I love youtube for that particular reason, it's been 20 years that I love the Pixies and you can still discover this kind of gem!
hahaha 3 years after this comment I'm still amazed by this performance! Is it the best Tame ever ?
Brixton Academy is still standing, been there many times for gigs and dance music events. Amazing how much history it has.
Pixeis at their peak and not a cellphone in sight. Audiences will never be this more alive and in the moment ever again
This is one of my favorite live performances ever. Just listen to those screams!

Never have a loved one, furry or otherwise within a limb's reach when listening to the Pixies (especially their live stuff), you may be lulled into a false sense of security during the verses, happily petting your pet as you casually bounce to the beat, but then the chorus hits and you go from "aw, aren't you cute Mr. Snufflekins? :3" petting to "TAAAAAAAAAMEEE!!! D:< *SPASTIC PUNCH*" And just like that you've injured the poor creature. :p

and thanks to life for "discovery" at 30 years old this song, and start to open mind to Pixies,
great song, great energy!!
