Yep it's relaxing too
YESSS
@@CursedEarthPizza Way before green day
@@CursedEarthPizza yeah Green Day ripped it off...
Christopher Digital :
Does ur mom know you’re on the computer boy? Green Day is kiddie crap. Grow up.
I am 63 and will NEVER get sick of this
I love you, Anne! :D
I'm 69 - ditto.
YOU ROCK
I’m 112 and have Frank Blacks face tattooed on my face.
63 myself,and love this!!
This version just feels so raw and aggressive and very emotionally charged like he's remembering why he wrote the song and the rest of the band is matching his intensity and the audience is feeling the electricity in the air and don't care and want to scream along, and do, and it's perfect. I can't even listen to the regular version anymore.
five years have passed, and last Wednesday I watched them here in São Paulo, Brazil. And they continue with that same energy and intensity that you described. Amazing SHOW!!!!
Best coment
Amen to that top performance.❤❤👏👏
@@christopherwest4580 Pixies got that Rolling Stones thing of playing loose but being so melodically solid that it feels right on the groove
This one is really good. Unfortunately it also proves Kim is not indispensable.
Crazy to think this song was written about the biblical tale of Samson: he was betrayed by his love (Delilah) and his eyes were gouged out by his enemies. He was chained to the pillars of a temple and ridiculed. Meanwhile, his hair (the source of his strength that Delilah had cut off while he slept) grew back. Over time his renewed strength allowed him to pull the temple down on those that had injured him. This song builds and builds, the baseline steady, till the crescendo of the story comes to the end, in a freakishly powerful way. I first heard this song back in 89' and was gobsmacked, "WHO ARE THE PIXIES?!" This live version might be their best version.
much better than that shite from tom jones
the eternal same story of love, betrayel, revenge and anger.....
I think of it as more of a bitchy mother in law or a bad friend. Thanks for the Samson reference.
The Samson reference makes perfect sense. It's exactly as the story goes from the Bible.
@@dcbeemon the lead singer, Black Francis (a stage name, can't recall his given name) in an Esquire interview said something like "Samson had his eyes gouged out by his enemy the Philistines in a time of weakness, explaining the title of the song... it’s the best song on the record.” Before seeing that I had wondered where the heck he'd gotten his inspiration. Wow, just wow.
1989, I'm 18 years old, seeing my first live band. Newport, South Wales, The Pixies.
You got to see Kim Deal I'm so jealous, how great was the show?
Congratulations, I envy you! Must have been amazing
Not a bad start.
TJ's?
TJs?
THE best version of Gouge Away out there. Makes my soul smile and my eyes almost tear.. Brutal. Beautiful.
Lol… you clearly never heard Kim live.
The best performance is this one: ruclips.net/video/8wHoD8azJ28/видео.html
This song always bring a tear to the eye. Its all about perspective. it makes you feel like a child standing on the beach on the ocean of infinity. Nothings gonna change my world... except the person looking back at you when looking into infinity. Thank you mates.
Seen em at Borderline were fuckin good eh x
My favorite on youtube too.
It's hard not to get goosebumps while listening to this
hell yes
True. What an emotional performance!
Their sound comes right from hell and mortals love it.
cool profile pic
It's amazing to still get goosebumps after a decade!
Sometimes less is more. Just love the simple rawness of their music. I thought I would outgrow them, but here I am, 30 years later.
Word. loudQUIETloud
me too - still remember buying Doolittle in like 1989 or something and remembering the impact it had on me!
@@keithlennox44 Word. Nirvana took that groove and ran with it. Kurt was also heavily influenced by REM who did the same in a folksy way. Great bands back in that day that are rarely acknowledged for their artistic contributions but will be cherished forever, I think. Smiths, Cure, even early U2 was phenomenal.
Theres not many bands that have fans ranging from teenagers to old dudes that look like they escaped the nursing home to rock the fuck out.
yes. there are. Tool. Mogwai. Rush. but go ahead - gouge away. if need to.
Exactly my young man haha
@@morganlake41632 all bands you mentioned are on that list of not many
@@jaminmaki4243 Good point. Not many bands that have continued to produce new muisc over a 40 year span. I sit corrected.
I’m 58. I still hope that’s an option when I’m geriatrically incarcerated.😃
Any song that starts with a lot of bass you know is gonna be good
yss :)
Well said bass rules
I agree with you
I gave you one ok👍!😉
This song have to much power, also to much angry, and meoldy sound for me like kurt cobain Nirvana
Those two guitar notes and then the bend...proof of how minimal but perfect music ideas can be so powerful
you are so right, play the notes that matter
The simplest bass line in the world, yet the most effective one! Love this song!
concordo plenamente...eles conseguem fazer do "simples" algo "gigantesco" é por isso que sou fã até hoje...abraço! 🎸🙆♀️🥁
This bass line remind me "Lucretia my reflection" of Sister's of mercy
You big beautiful bald crazy man, thank you for the music
Damn straight
looks/sounds like uncle fester
He’s actually short but a great guy. I met him in Buffalo about 7 years ago, he was playing in a side project.
@@rickdeckard1075 And yet he's rich, famous, respected and dope as fuck, whereas you're a (very handsome, I'm sure) RUclips shit-talker. Funny how life works.
@@dinkaboutit4228 "rich dope", indeed...
This band gets better as the members age... I'm speechless. Definitely one of their best performances ever.
I play it over and over again
No they don't lol, some performances are still sick, like this one but a lot are pretty abysmal. Just because they are so sick and the band is not the same
The absolute rage in his vocals on this performance is addictive.
Radio six live lounge… Bellissimo
The very last band of my bucket list to see live. For some reason, at 45 years old, I've continually missed them since being a fan since 1989 when I discovered them in the 6th grade. I'll finally be seeing The Pixies in Los Angeles this October, 2022!
Saw them yesterday in Italy, I loved them! ❤️
Enjoy, man, I got to see them several times with and without Kim, it was always a great show. Check in, let us know after!
awesome
Saw them on Friday supporting pearl jam.... they were awesomeness personified.... enjoy
Seen them yesterday in Dublin,Ireland. At 41 years of age it was my first time seen them,unreal performance
bro when i was 9 my dad offered to take me to this. I said no because i wanted to stay homea and play minecraft. biggest mistake i have ever made.
Yes
100%
So sad
You were 9, u wouldn’t have properly experienced it anyway. It’s same kind of decisions people make when they take acid at a festival instead of listening to the music.
I did a similar thing for a Ray Charles concert
When even the legendary Bowie marveled at your band, you know you're good.
this is definetly the best version of this song havent yet found one that tops it
@@Rafa-ri3ul try this: ruclips.net/video/7aSbf406xaw/видео.html
@@Rafa-ri3ul ruclips.net/video/tTTPv8_95KY/видео.html
Takes some topping that!
I had just said the same thing the other day about the Arcade Fire
neither of those sound better to me
the first one has different bass mixing that i could hear how someone might think it sounded better, but the overall performance was not as passionate, especially the vocals like someone said
the 1991 version, they've just improved since then in my humble opinion... also the 1991 mixing is not gonna give it much of a fair chance, so maybe my ears just rejected it as i've been treated by 20 years of digital mixing
The song is great already, I mean it IS Pixies. But kudos to whoever mixed this live recording. This is fantastic.
YES. Most people can't appreciate a thing like that. The mixing is outstanding.
dunno if it´s my speakers but the snare sounds awfully tinny
They Came to do a concert in my home town Johannesburg South Africa - and i gotta say the live show sounded better than their albums - it was mind blowing!! I dont know many bands that can pull that off..
where would music be without the PIXIES
This is an amazing clip. Paz belting it out the end was haunting, and the best last verse of Gouge away I’ve ever seen. The whole damn band got ahold of that one. Wow.
My wife got me tickets a few years back, wanted to see them ever since I was a kid. I am pretty quiet socially, and even I screamed this song with the crowd.
My favorite band of all time since I first heard in college in the 80's. I drove 14 hours to see them. And saw Frank a million times solo. Never a single regret.
Beautiful
Makes me so happy to see young people vibrating with the Pixies... There is hope!
4 years ago.......
I am 15 and i love Pixies and i know all the songs
@@kaktuscz5034 you doing great my son ;)
WE WILL SEE......AT THE MOMENT.......
NO
gotta love em
Best version of this song I've ever heard!!!
Damn. Listened to it a hundred times or more. So good.
From that point at 3:30 when the guitar riff starts to taste metallic, you suddenly grow aware that there's no turning back to that lingering, and the orgasmic explosion is about to burst out.
Some synaesthesia happening here lol
This is so beautifully pretentious.
That's right, it rocks , I agree
These are the best moments when you're playing music live, when you suddenly feel that burst of energy that comes from every band member and audience member being in sync, and you can't help but just let out all of your force into your playing
Will always be one of the best songs penned, rehearsed, and played.............Pixies live..... forever.
Don't care what "purists" say, Paz is immense and I've been listening to this band longer than most! Not a boast, just a fact as I'm now rather a fuddy duddy!
Paz is legit a great bassist.. She was also great in A Perfect Circle...
Paz is incredible.... but she'll never be Kim.
Too bad he also fired Paz
I can’t remember how many times I’ve watched this video. It’s perfection.
Bass guitar is bad ass. :D
bilguun itgel absolutely true
100% agree man!
Bass and drums...heaven. my car windows will blown away
Babass
I've learned how to play the bass because of both Kims. :)
Go on Frank, you awesome screamy bastard
Hope he lives forever
To quote Mike Wolfe " that Black Francis is the best damn screamer since the original Star Treks Ensin Chekov" Car Stereo Review around '93
It's Charles, but so what
I love how in the final verse, the scream just takes him over - almost using up all the space for the remaining lyrics... ( 3:48 )
Dont think just English native speakers love this! Regards from Mexico. we also can recognize a
master piece liket this one.
A lot of their earlier stuff is back and forth english to spanish
A huevo 💪🏼
Sometimes music takes on a spiritual brilliance, this is one of those times.
Not sure what’s wrong with me today, but for some reason the crowd singing along at 2:26 brought me to tears.
I will forever love this band.
It even started at 1;40 for me ;-)
There's not a thing wrong with you.
Wow. It happened to me too. I thought it was nostalgia. I’ve been a fan for 32 years now. One of the only bands from that era I still listen to. I was 16 when I first saw them live as an opening act. I had no idea who they were and never heard anything like them in my life.
@@thirstyowlthethird9409 Right- there are certain bands you know will change your life from the first time you hear them....Talking Heads was the first one for me, then The Clash, and last but not least Pixies. About the only thing I like as much as Pixies is "Where is My Mind?" the Pixies tribute album, which I think is full of gems.
@@ogivecrush yes I love the tribute album. I also heard “Alec Eiffel” covered by band called the Bunnies ? which was amazing.
I've watched a few videos of this song and it's genuinely awe inspiring to see it being performed so long after its initial release with this much power and energy. Still sounds so fresh. Gives me goosebumps it's so good.
Goosebumps from Gooseberry Island 🏝and the Pixies! Two national treasures from Massachusetts!!
@@garythompson5316 . MN .m...s.mnmn mmhmnmmmnnjn in nnnfbhnhjnnhhmhhyyjnhkyjbnvbngnn. Cc WWE can l
Mm
I get goosebumps everytime I hear this song whether the studio version or live....
My favorite version of this song. I watch it pretty regularly.
my favorite detail is the cable for Frank's in-ear monitor is taped to the back of his neck.
Seeing this band live is truly a highlight in my life
I’m forever grateful they toured Australia
I saw them twice at the commodore ballroom in Vancouver bc in the late 80's, thrilling to say the least
Gouge away, you can gouge away
Stay all day if you want to
Missy aggravation
Some sacred questions, you stroke my locks
Some marijuana if you got some
Gouge away, you can gouge away
Stay all day if you want to
Sleeping on your belly
You break my arms, you spoon my eyes
Been rubbing a bad charm with holy fingers
Gouge away, you can gouge away
Stay all day if you want to
Chained to the pillars
A 3 day party, I break the walls
And kill us all with holy fingers
Gouge away, you can gouge away
Stay all day if you want to.
thank you!!
@@Rom2Serge have you heard of google
Samson
@@Jon-cw8bb no man i wrote a reply so this comment will have more responses and RUclips had lifted lyrics up in the comment line.
@@Rom2Serge as it should be
Oh, My brother, my dear brother, he left this world yesterday & this was his favourite song. Still remember when you were 14, I was 10 and you showed me this song. I was fascinated! You took me down the Rock N 'Roll path and thanks to you I developed my own musical tastes. Today, I discover that you left this world of your own free will, taking an overdose of pills until you were sound asleep. Dear brother, when I found out about that, coming to listen to this song was the only thing that occurred to me at the time, and here I am! listening Dark Necessities at 3 in the morning, while singing loudly and enjoying the music as if you are still with me to listen to it together. Brother, when you first showed me this song, you told me that we all had Dark Necessities hidden within us, but we weren't brave enough to show them to everyone. Now I understand it and I am sorry I understood it too late. I love you, brother, and I will always love you. Thank you for showing me these musical wonders. I will miss you today, tomorrow and always. Dark necessities will always be part of our designs, dear brother.
Sorry for your loss. Pixies and rock music will always be here even in hard times. Life gets better.
hope he found peace, RIP
dude please dont kill yourself
Maybe the most explosive song never written... Powerful but on the reserve... I listened to it again and again, years after years since more than 25 years and it continues to give me thrills!
I would like to thank the pixies for all they give me.
I was there. They were exceptional all night long. They barely paused between songs. Just a wall of sound for two hours
What was this venue ??
@@spacecaptain6720 It's at the Eden Project in Cornwall UK
Where was it?
@@sinfrsul Eden Project in the U.K.
you lucky, lucky, lucky, Do you ever realize how lucky you were!
I miss the 90's, loved it!
One of the greatest performances of all time.
Orgasmically Brilliant. If you don't feel that, you've nothing in you.
If you ask the influence of Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, Radiohead, Blur, The Strokes, The Killers, My Chemical Romance, and many many others, this band is the answer.
Intro definitely sounds like Offspring - Gotta Get Away at a slower tempo
Husker Dü
@@PipeD0d parents of hardcore 👨👩👦🛠️
Never forget Hüsker Dü
@@PipeD0d @Kevin that's the opposite direction-- Husker Du started in 1979, so they weren't influenced, but rather influencers (as BF has admitted many times)
There will never be a better version of this song, because you can’t be better than perfect.
I love seeing all these dads dusting off their bangers and still getting the chills, I'm with my dad now in the kitchen and we're pumping it together at full blast, There aren't many songs that still make him jump around the room like this and i can see he steel feels young while earing this. Love from the new generation of rockers
I loved this band when I was young, 30+ years ago. Can't believe how much time has passed. I used to bounce off the walls to their records. Incredible stuff.
Oh yea I remember !
Why is THIS song so addictive?😎
Half the audience weren't probably even born when this came out... What a testament to their timelessness.... Fucking Epic!
J'ai 46ans, j'écoutais ça aussi il y a 30ans, c'est toujours aussi bon !
The best vocal version ever ever
Brilliant. Always love for the Pixies. This song still and is always will be the defining song of a generation in my book.
yup they were pioneering it
one of the greatest songs from one of the greatest albums
50 Years old. Listening to music for atleast 40 years. How could I have missed this? But I did. Shame on me. What a bloody great song!
Where have you been with your head,shame,shame,shame,lol. Pixies epic 👍😃👍
The woman on shoulders near the end helps it build up the crescendo,with her look of absolute awe and anticipation,great editing,helps it too.
That dude at 4:04 had no idea that one day he'd be the thumbnail for this song.
he seems to be that celebrity french chef
@@kentstructures4388 I always thought he looked like him.
Every time I see that thumbnail: Fred Armisen
It looks just like Eric Ripert. I was so happy to see @kent structures had the same thought.
@@thirstyowlthethird9409 aaaAaaAaAAAAAAAaaaaAaAAAAaaaaaaAAA
Absolutely badass.
Will be badass through all time. Timeless. Fat, juicy, Bass.
I will never get tired of the Pixies.
IMO one of the best songs ever written, flawless. Stay all day if you want to.
if you like Pixies you should check out Lonely Gimmick - All Along the Watchtower, it gives me Pixies vibes and it's a great new single
@@nameface6934 Was Hey that got me x
Their concert could just be 1 hour of that bassline + drums and I'd be happy.
His crackling voice makes makes it so much better tho.
Igual yo
A 4 minute intro would be great.
Bass line so like So far away from The Offspring
I have been a Pixies fan since 1989, and that performance was very very good.
Indeed
Can't help myself but listen to PIXIES everytime I get drunk.
"Rubbing a bad charm with holy fingers". Fuck, what a lyric. Don't know why, slaps hard. Legendary song.
best alternative rock band ever, period!
What is Pavement for 1000, Alex.
Crazy Horse 90 years. .
@@FungusMossGnosis they were great but not the best. I saw them open for Sonic Youth, 1992 and they were really good. Back when they had that crazy "hippie" drummer.
Earlier than me, Joshua! I got to see Pavement play a couple festivals in 1993 and 1998. Never caught the reunion stuff. I wasn't into The Pixies then. Nothing against them, they're excellent, I just didn't have very eclectic taste as a kid. Most of my favorite rock bands were never played on commercial radio. I just said Pavement 1) to be a smartass and 2) because I genuinely think they represent what I loved in 90s music with a fuller range of songwriting and musicianship. Not the best, or most interesting, but significantly better than most, always, and probably the best of the "indie" bands that blew up in popularity.
Best band ever, period.
The dynamics of the Pixies is incredible!
Best performance iv ever seen of this song !! You can feel the gouge
His voice is so frickin powerful
Saw them at the Hammersmith Apollo in London about 8 years ago. One of the best gigs I've ever been to. Dancing like a man possessed & had to wring out the T-shirt I'd been wearing when I got outside into the cold air & buy a new one from a vendor.
Rádio head ceremony
I was there my guy! And at this gig in the video
I saw them there in 1991!
@Milly May True, true
La magia de la canción esta en la tensión que se genera entre el verso y el estribillo y va aumentando hasta llegar al ultimo estribillo donde explota todo, en esta versión se aprecia perfectamente eso, una genialidad
Zampa eso refleja fuerza y poder.
Zampa I can understand enough Mex.to know you liked it.
Los ví en directo en Amberes, en el tour de 2016 y siguen siendo muy bueeeenos.
@@evinghamhoffnikel5644 What is Mex? You mean spanish right?. I can understand enough North American(...English) to know you meant that
Pues porque son los Pixies....
I miss the 90's. Best music ever!
I’ve been enjoying music videos on you tube for so many years now… literally years of great music videos and live songs of the greatest musicians of all time and I’ve literally obsessed with shit on here sometimes replaying the same song over and over and over and I will put my hands down all time best live song of a band is this live version of gouge away! Thank you pixies! HAIL BLACK FRANCIS !!!! AND STAY ALL DAY!!!!
One of the few live songs that i’ll listen to repetitively, just the delivery of the line “chained to the pillars, a three day party, i’ll break the walls, and kill us all” wow, wonder is that’s a delilah and samson reference?
Aaron Hopkins yeah it is
Agree 100%🙏
Yes it absolutely is
The whole song. Samson's eyes were gouged out. He is saying to the Phillistines, sure, gouge my eyes, torture me, just stay here and do it, don't do anything but that... and just wait.. in a little while my hair will grow back, and then during your 3-day party, I'll collapse the temple by pushing down the walls with my "holy fingers", killing us all, ultimately getting revenge.
monkey gone to heaven has lots of religious reference too.
I can't imagine a day without my Pixies, gotten me through a lot of tough times. I'll gouge away
If you grew up in the 90’s, this is the sound!
Still great!!!!!!!
Best performance of the song without doubt
So far the best performance of this song, better than the album version... This is what I call a 'POWER SONG'.
Bless these people! I wish them all the best in these weird days...OMG theor sound has always made me sooo happy...im deeply in love with the bass player btw..
Quelle Basse ! ces changements (presque imperceptibles) de rythme (surtout dans l'intro) ! Wahou !
I've been watching this a few times a day for like a month now.
I was there with all the other ageing surfers reliving their dirty youth. It was awesome.
Regarding vocals, I agree with you. However, the bass is much better, even thru the song.
Year?
Were you there with Rosa?
Lucky to see them in New Zealand in March , just before the Pandemic hit. Epic gig.
You win lottery's too!?
I had tickets to see them in March in Sydney. I was literally jumping up and down when I got tickets, and walked around for months with a skip in my step knowing this show was coming up. Then out of nowhere everything went balls up, and they cancelled 2 days before this show. The right and responsible thing to do and all, but damn. Absolutely gutted.
Yep I did , living in a country without fucked up leadership, smashing pack the pandemic.
was planning to see them in Yokohama (small club) in MARCH 2020 ... then the shit hit, Pray for 2021, gotta see Black Francis....
Saw them in Glasgow in October 2019. They were absolutely brilliant.
un groupe que tous devrait écouter. un son qui vous décoiffe.
The most exciting thing I've ever seen on RUclips. Just magical. Mark.
You have entered a superior level of music when you start messing with the pixies.
Facts
We should probably go ahead and blast this bass line out across time and space as humanities swan song.
Raw, but perfectly executed with impeccable timing. They must have brought this song over 500 times and still love it.
"Been rubbing a bad charm with holy fingers" is one of the best lyrics ever written.
I thought he said "horny fingers". I think my mistake also makes sense so I'm going to stick with it. :)
The song is about Samson and Delilah.
Samson is punished by God for wielding the jaw of a ass in battle; as a Nazirite he had taken an oath to keep himself sanctified, which meant (among other things) never to pollute himself by touching a dead thing. His holy fingers hence rubbed the bad charm, and so his unbreakable arms are broken and his invincible eyes are spooned.
The story ends with Samson chained to the pillars by his enemies, who celebrate in his defeat with a three day party. Samson calls out to God; his strength returns enough for him to break the walls and kill everyone, including himself.
One of the best live performances I think I’ve ever seen perfect band perfect song
This is the hands down THE BEST performance ever. The raw and the real. I can't even explain it. THIS! FUCK YEAH 💜
Just grips you and doesn't let go. The audience singing along is mesmerizing.
Merry Christmas 2019, Black Francis thank you for all the songs, god bless you
Never gets old, always has a distinctive pulse.
That bassline hypnotized my brain. I fckin love it.
HONESTLY,.....perfection. No other words to describe this version. Seriously, just got chills,...for the tenth time watching this...
My favorite live videos of all time.
Best version I've ever heard of the song - one of the best live recordings of all time by any band!
Very influential band. So much talent.
man...the location, the sound..and frank looks so tired but explodes with such a power with a voice that´s better than ever. they definately aged well.
The nth time listening to this... That bass... The build up. Frank Blacks' voice. Joey Santiago's wall of sound. It's perfect.
With holy fingers indeed , you guys are legends in your own time , who else can say that still alive and that young.
My Pixies. My youth. My everything.
This song gives me the chills! Love the pixies.
Magistral performance......PIxies é uma banda fantástica!!!!!!!
