Had to Google this show as I’d never heard of it before. In the States I grew up hearing this kind of music on 120 Minutes, an MTV program. Now I’m watching this for old times, thanks!👍😁

Thanks! I never knew Pixies were on The Word. There's hardly anyone in the crowd, it looks almost like the rehearsal.

Burgess was the worst front man ever-all the charisma of a chair leg.
